Figures for the first elght months of the year show the volume of opera- tions to he approximately 3 per cent greater than the total registered dur- ing the corresponding period of the record-breaking vear of 192§, Those who feel that the second half of 1926 will not see continuation of the furi- ous pace set earlier in the year point to the fact that June and July were “spurt months” which saw the vol- ume of buflding carried abnormally high above the unimpressive May level. JIndications that SReptember may | show a recovery from he unseasonal decline in August are found. how: ever, in a study of the volume of con- tracts awarded. An increase of 10 per cént in this volume has been regis- tered by the first seven monthe of 1926 over the corresponding figure for 1925, In addition, the figure for July of this vear ie slightly above that set in July of last vear. The fact that awards have been made on this scale during recent weeks naturally leads to the conclu- sion that a large amount of new work is moon to be undertaken. As regards building permits, t volume for the first seven monthe o 1926 is slightly below that built up during the corresponding months last year.

A new operation of semi- detached homes, designed and constructed with a view of giv- ing you something different. The most attractive and outstanding houses on the market today; substantial brick construction em- bodying the Colonial and Spanish architecture; distinctive ex- terior appearance, and completely finished on the interior with every feature planned for your comfort and convenience. De- signed by Claughton West and constructed under my personal supervision. ’ There is no Home in Washington more thoughtfully planned and modernly equipped. Of Center Hall, Colonial type—with big fireplaces in hoth living room and dining room. Butler’s pantry and kitchen with electric refrigerator. Of the four rooms on the second floor, one is fitted as a library, with built-in bookcases. Two baths here. On the third floor is a third bath—and one of the five rooms on this floor is fitted as a sewing room. THE Consensus of Opinion is that these homes—on account of their unusual location, Beauty and Construction—are in a class by themselves. I gave considerable thought to the design of these homes; the location, floor plans, the materials—and went so far as to employ an artist to draw a colored full size detailed pic- ture of the grouping of houses so that we could see and regulate the color schemes, and arrive at the distinct harmony which we have achieved. I invite the. general Public, all Real Estate Brokers and Salesmen to inspect these homes. Servant’s room, with bath, in basement. Separate laundry room, separate cold storage room and separate furnace room, with an automatic stoking furnace which requires literally no attention, giving perfect service to the hot-water heating system— and burning a grade of coal that means a saving of practically half the usual cost of operation.
