NEW MARKET HERE 1S NOW TENANTED More Than Score of Buildings | at Camp Meigs Site Have Been Claimed. Washington’s new wholesale and re- | tail market center in the Patterson tract, | site of the Camp Melgs circus grounds at Florida avenue between Third and | Sixth streets northeast, was tenanted for the first time since its completion | this week, when the Joseph Phillips Co. occupled its $150,000 meat packing and | distributing plant. Located on a tract containing ap- roximately 45 acres, this new Union arkct Terminal represents a modern | development in wholesale and retall | marketing and constitutes a departure | from old methods heretofore employed, the owners believe Of the 42 fireproof buildings. set off in four blocks, all located on Fifth street, more than a score have been leased or sold, according to Hugh E. Phillips, representing the Union Market Terminal Co., an organization of com- mission merchants. Occupany of all of these is not ex- pected before the end of the year, due to the fact that the majoritv of the new tenants still have leases at the old Center Market on B street Demolished Old Market. The opening of the new market brings into_realization plans launched when the Government made known its inten- | tion to demolish the old B street market- | ing place to make way for the gigantic | public buildings project | The accessibility to the new develop- | ment soon will be enhanced with the | commencement of work on the New | York avenue project, which will col tinue that highway through to the Dis- trict line, along the Patterson tract. Traffic conditions are met with streets 100 feet in width and wish 40-foot alleys, and a large parking area is availabl The two-story buildings are of simple design. Extra long canoples project from the front and rear of the buildings, providing greater space for venders' equipment. Each unit is equipped with an elevator. Many New Features. ‘The Phillips plant embodies modern refrigeration principles and introduces many new features in the handling and packing of meats. The refrigeration equipment is of the cold-air type, pro- Jclled into the storage chambers by ans. White tiling lines the interior walls of the plant, which is equipped with modern appliances. While the four blocks thus far com- pleted are to be tenanted as soon as possible, the market development is far from completion. Plans under way call for a farmers’ market, which will be located at the north end of the project, on the opposite side of Pifth street from the present buildings. Of the four blocks ready for occupancy, the one nearest Florida avenue will be devoted to retall marketing. It is planned, however, to develop a much larger market of this type to the south of the | farmers’ market. Excavation work on this latter project has been started. The Union Market Terminal will group each type of business of the pre: ent Center Market, including commis- sion merchants, farmers’ market, poul- try dealers and retail and jobbing ce: ter market, the present Louisiana avi nue retailers, wholesale grocers, candy and tobacco dealers, meat dealers, the developers say. ‘The Charles H.

More and smaller garages, instead of | huge ones widely separated, will be lho‘ | tendency in American cities, according | to experts writing in the American | Architect Magasine. Already agitation is afoot in New | York to Fen‘nn the building of garages beneath large apartment houses. Ben- Jamin F. Betts, editor of the magazine, | points out, observing that the car owner who must walk several blocks to | and from his garage is losing as much | time as he did in the days of slower Sanwportation. N. H. Owens, speaking for the Na- Homal. Assocttion of Building Owners and Managers, advocates one square | foot of parking space for every four feet of office space in the modern of- fice building. “Years ago,” he points out, “we used to drive up to a store and tie our horse to a post front, That was real con- venience. The flood of automobiles made that an impossibility, and in ou haste to do something about it we pro- vided large garages, which are not con- | ven\em because of the time it takes rk the car and then walk three or four blocks to our destination.” Deorene in Building Emmtel According to reports received by the | Bureau of Labor Statistics of the De- partment of Labor from 291 comparable cities, there was a decrease of 16.2 per cent in the estimated cost of the build- ings for which permits were issued in August as compared with July, Total indtcnud expenditures for all buildings for which permits were issued during for these 291 cities was $137,924,792. Residential bulldings decreased 1.6 per cent in this period, while non-residential building decreased 22.5 per cent. George D. Deoudes, Henry J. Klein, George Clagett, George Heider, F.
