The great growth of Washington at building boom here have apidly extended into sections of the city and suburbs heretofore The latest section of the District to be developed into the modern ular stress on conformity with the park and boulevard development Irresponsible Men. - A challenge of character and ex- perience that is expected to drive “wildcat contractors” out of the con- struction industry is considered cer- tain to be the result of a conference to be held by leading contractors at Dallas October and 7. This con- ference, to be held under the auspices of the Associated General Contractors of America, will summarize intensive Purpose of Questionnaires. The questionnaires, scheduled for approval by the contractors at the Dallas_conference, are certain to re- duce delays and excessive costs in struction when brought into gen- application, the industry’s leaders declare. Enormous losses in both time and money are directly traceable to the presence of irresponsible bid- ders in the industry, it is asserted.

In the Foxhall road section, around Dent place, Forty-fourth street and the Glover parkway, more than 1,000,000 square feet of ground has been acquired by a local firm for development into a com- munity of English cottage homes. This will mean that in a sec- tion of the District heretofore ig- nored an improvement to cost more than $3,500,000 will spring up. This firm also intends to buy more ground type The skyline in downtown Wash- ington near the Treasury will soon be changed.
