I gave a release to the first man and had papers prepared for the proposed new ten- owner or me, as agent. The property was not leased and the building has remained unoccupied, with the exception of a few months, when a small part of the building was rented temporarily at a low rental. I estimate that there has been a loss on this property of 6 per cent interest on $7,000 for five years and six months.” Mr. Holman’s Experience Another experience is related by Mr. Ben- jamin W. Holman, as follows: “About twelve years ago I bought lot 7, block 19, Meridian Hill, for the purpose of building a house. At thai time street ex- tensions were agitated. For a number of years it was planned to widen 15th street. My house would have faced west thereon. I waited for it. Then it was decided to ex- tend 15th street, in cenformity with that street at Florida avenue, and not deflect it. That plan was approved, and a map thereot was placed on record. he condem- nation of nearly one-half of my lot was eaeasensend ‘selersentontoaseeteeseatontonionteetoeseoonsonsnesodiedeeeteodendioetoseenconsmnees cost ternem eet pteoteeneet Net tee tO PL LAP PL tpl Ql ehh NH iGO Cette ill be offered oa monn 394C.

My plat was disapproved, and I was in- formed that the ground was soon to be taken for the extension of 16th street. I was not even allowed to ‘make the lots 25 feet front, instead of 50 feet.
