It is generally understood that the mrst requisite in selecting a location for a new theater is its accessibility for the people who patronize theaters. The chosen site is believed to possess the necessary qualifications. Other pieces of property have been called to the attention of Mr. Albaugh, so that in case he feels in the mood to go on with his project, even though the city authorities will not allow him to build where he at first intended, a | site will not be lacking. The law gives | property owners the right to protest against | the erection of a theater building in their midst, and, of course, they can exercise that right, even though people’ who don’t own property in the same locality may | criticise their action. lt depends very much, however, upon what is the motive for the exercise of the right in opposing the erection of such build- | ings as to whether success is final. The! opposition may be to a theater on the/ ground that it injures a locality as a place of residence. Or else it may be part of the policy of the property owners to preserve | intact the present character of the locality This last is done sometimes and is always possible if the right measures are adopted. There are instances in this city, where, by the action of owners and the expenditure | of money, a tendency to a change in the character of a locality, and especially when | it has been of a retrograde nature, has | been arrested. H Redeeming a Locality. A notable case in point is the square on | K street between 13th and 14th streets, which, a few years ago, showed unmistak-,) able evidences of what is known as running | down at the heel. The fine residences, or at | least some of them, formerly the homes of | wealth and the center of a good deal of social life of the city, had become boarding heuses and not very prosperous ones at that. From time to time some of the prop- erty would come on the market, and when it did it found a purchaser either in Senator Shermen or in Mr. Henry A. Willard. Both have their homes in this square, where they | interests were involved, of course. The old | houses purchased by these property owners re improved and then leased out, and, no doubt, by this time have been sold. Senator Sherman built his fine new house there, and Mr. Willard remodeled the old Holliday house, which during the last administration was the home of a cabinet minister, and is now occupied by a justice of the Supreme Court. There is nothing of the run-jown-: the-heel appearance about this square now, but there is no question that this result is due to the enterprise displayed. Of course, it does not follow that property owners can stand in the way of a manifest destiny and prevent the development of a locality, although, of course, it is common enough to hear such statements made. It is not presumed that any ordinary cause would have prevented the change in the character of F street from a residence to a business street. The change may have been retarded, perhaps, but after all the develop- ment of a city, especially of the business section, goes along lines that are not drawn by men however much they may desire to have a hand in the process. Activity in Building. ‘The demand for building permits, which | has been quite sluggish recently, has during the past week experienced a revival. It is a promising indication of return to the market of the activity which has been so sadly missing for some months past. The conditions are favorable for a livier mar- ket than exists at present, and all that is needed is that those who have the means or | what is as good the credit should go ahead | with investments. It is proposed by the Builders’ Exchange to call a conference of representatives of financial institutions, of material men and labor organizations in o>- der that a uniform reduction in prices may be agreed upon, and then capitalists invited | to make investments in buildings, the in- ducement of low prices being presented. it) is designed that any arrangement which is entered upon shall have a time limit, and shall expire at the end of a defined period. The plan will result, it is hoped, in not only giving employment to numbers who are now living in enforced idleness, but will do much toward restoring that degree of public confidence which is so essential in a | Strong and active market. ‘Two New Church Eatfices.
