REAL ESTATE GOSSIP The Building Season Opens With Fine Promise. ADVANTAGES OF INVESTMENT HERE The Deeds of Trust System Not Considered a Burden. PRINTING OFFICE SITE There is a fair amount of work being done in the way of building throughout the city, and those who are interested in the building trades, for whatever reason, are very much pleased with the improved situa- tion. Last week the record of the building irspector’s office shows that some sixty permits were taken out for new buildings. This is not a bad statement for what was practically the opening week of the spring season. The erection of these buildings means the purchase of brick and lumber and other material and the employment of labor, so that all branches of the building trade will feel the influence of the revival. As the season advances and the weather becomes more settled it is probable that there will be an increase in the building business, and it is expected that there will be employment generally for those in the building trade. Incidentally, ali this will have a good influence on the real estate market, as lots will have to be purchased for the location of these buildings, and in some cases purchasers will have to be found for the new homes. It is true that the amount of building that will be done during the coming season will depend to some extent on the demand, although, of course, it is understood that there are always those who have money to invest either in new structures or in im- provements in existing buildings, and this class of work goes on quite independent of what is generally known as a ‘;demand.” When there are more people than there are houses and the population has evidently outgrown the accommodations which have been provided, then it may be said that a demand in the ordinary sense of that word exists. It is said in some quarters that the mar- ket for houses is overstocked; that there are quite a large number for rent, and that therefore it need not be expected that there will be very much done this year in the line of erecting new houses. Tnis, however, is one of those partial truths which are some- times accepted as the entire truth. Bul ‘= Goes Right On. It is true that there is quite an abundance of houses in the real estate market,but that is nearly always the case. It is probable that there never was any period of the year when long lists of houses for rent could not be found in the real estate offices. This fact has not stood in the way of the build- ing progress. There may be a demand for a new house when there are quite a large number of houses which are already erect- ed and are in need of a tenant. ‘The neces- sity for an investment, especially when it is of such a sound character as Washington real estate, is more urgent than most peo- ple realize. The average man is not both- ered with devising plans for disposing of his surplus income, and so he is not apt to apprecifte tue labors of those who have such a perplexing question coming up an- nually, and perhaps oftener. There is al- ways money awaiting investment, and that fact Is a pretty good guarantee that the op- portunities which are offered in the real es- tate market here will not be neglected. The debate in the Senate during the past week on the bill reported by Mr. Faulkner to simplify the form of deed in use in this District covered a much wider range than was contemplated. For some ‘reason the Senators went into a discussion of practical- ly the entire system of land transfers. In some respects the system in vogne here is different from that in the other cities, due mainly to the fact that incumbrances or loans on real estate are recorded by deeds of trust rather than by mortgages. It was said by one of the Senators that in his opin- fon a hardship was imposed on the debtor class, because the facts in regard to the sale of their property under the operations of the deed of trust were not passed in re- view by a court, as in the case of mort- gages. It was thought that ten days or two weeks’ notice was too short a time to de- prive a man of his property, even though he might be delinquent in the payments. Satisfied With the System. Some inquiry has been made in regard to the feeling in the city relative to this eys- tem, and ft is not found that there is any complaint of its practical operations. The president of one of the large trust compa- nies said to the writer that of loans amount- ing to about four millions of dollars, made in one year, all but eleven thousand dollars had been paid without resort to sales of the property by the trustees. It is a fact that although deeds of trust almost ‘nvariably accompany the deeds of transfer in every transaction, and the proportion of trusts is therefore very large, yet there are con.par- atively few sales by trustees. While, of course, under this system, as in any other, a man who Is disposed to be harsh and grind- ing can push a debtor, yet it is claimed that the system {s not responsible for such exhi- bitions of injustice. It is also said that after property has been sold under a deed of trust, if the owner refuses to give pos- session, he must be brought before a justice of the peace, and then, in the event of his pleading title, the justice must refer the case to the court, where the entire trinsac- tion is reviewed, just as is done in the case of mortgages. In spite of the advantages which some of the Senators thought this system gives to this creditor class over the debtor, its practical operation in this Dis- trict for so'many years fails to sharply de- fine this theoretical conception of the sys- tem. The New Printt Office Site. The action of the Senate in choosing the Mahone square, corner of North Capitol and L streets, for the site of the proposed new building for the government printing office 1s probably a step in the direction of uniting with the House on this vexed question. The latter body favors the site at Delaware ave- nue. A compromise of some sort will have to be effected. It may be that the site of the present building will be the one selected. In any event, the people who are opliged to occupy the old building daily will be glad when some definite conclusion is reached. The New St. Andrew's Church. The vestry of St. Andrew's P. E.
