REAL ONEFANILY HONE RUSHONIND.C. Sixty for Week Is Only 13 Short of Permit Total for August in 1934, (Continued From First Page.) &s Washington now is experiencing to pull the country out of the depression. “We are moving into a favorable market for small residential proper- ties,” he declared, warning that a dwelling shortage impends unless con- struction picks up throughout the nation. Splurge of Building Seen. Especially hopeful is the local situa- tion, real estate men point out, be- | cause the hot Summer months usually are a period of building lag, indicat- ing that with the coming of Fall the volume of dwelling construction prob- | ably will swell to still larger pro- portions. In addition to the unusual amount ESTATE. of house building, the local realty market has been active lately in the | turnover of existing homes. | An important factor has been the | availability of mortgage money at pri- | vate financial institutions, which now | are allowing more liberal credit than at any time since the depression set in. $72,780 in Permit Group. The largest building authorization of the week was for the erection of 10 dwellings by B. Bornstein, 726 | Jackson place, at a total cost of | $72,780. This includes five houses in the 5400 block of Thirtieth street, and five in the 400 block of Ingraham street. All will be of brick and con- crete block construction.

Opens Midwestern Spe- cial Service Offices. Introducing to the market a new air-conditioning machine designed for & six-room house and sclling for slightly more than half the cost of an electric refrigerator, the American Radiator Co. last week opened special service offices to explain the use of the apparatus in 10 Middle Western and ‘Western cities. - Establishment of the offices followed a presentation of the new unit, which operates with radiator heating, in a national preview before more than 1,000 housing experts at the Stevens Hotel in Chicago on the first of this month. Martin J. Beirn, vice president of the company, explained, because of the reaction received at this preview. As rapidly as conditions warrant and the expansion of manufacturing facilities will permit, the service of- fices will be extended to all parts of | the United States and the new air- conditioning will be marketed nation- ; ally, he said. At the Chicago preview, he declared, builders, particularly those from the | Middle West, where there is a grow- ing volume of construction in the class of $3,000 to $8,000 homes, which the new machines are intended to serve, urged immediate production to per- mit them to expand their programs and offer air-conditioning in the homes. Cities in which the new air-con- ditioning service offices were opened inclided Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleve- land, Detroit, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, St, Louis, San Francisco and Seattle. Dealers are prepared to sell and install the units throughout the entire Middle Western and Western territory and the machine will be sold through all established radiator heating con- tractors, Mr. Beirn declared. Through six years of careful re- Their opening was rushed, | Mrs. Mary E. Harrington, 4440 Con- search and two years of intensive AUGUST 10, 1935. rangement makes it possible to de- liver filtered air into a home con- stantly while the heating is varied according to the needs-of an indi- vidual room or according to outside weather conditions, In si%e, the new unit is only slightly larger than an ordinary suit case. Hooked in at any point on the supply line of a radiator heating system, it will ‘air-condition a whole house from that point and no elaborate system of ducts is required. For the average house it can be installed on the base- ment ceiling, and in its simplest form can be used from there without any ducts. For the present, Mr. Beirn said, the unit will be offered only for new con- struction and for use with properly designed radiator heating systems of either the one-pipe steam, vapor or warm-water type. This precaution is | taken, he explained, to insure proper | operation and careful distribution in the heating arrangements. Operative builders and others build- ing homes at this time wiil, however, be assured that air-conditioning can be added to their equipment if they install the proper type of radiator| heating and they need not add the| air-conditioning immediately unless | they wish to do so, he added. In a| short time, he said, it may be pos-| | sible to offer the new sir-condmonmg‘ | machines for use with radiator heat- | | ing systems now in use, in connection with their modernization.

A lovely fireplace of verde antique marble adorns the living room. All windows are equipped with Venetian blinds, allowing the rooms to be well ventilated without the glare of the sun. Much favorable com- ment has been heard on the selection of washable wall paper for the kitchen and bath room. Here are a few other features of the home's construction: Parquet floors, concealed copper radiators, all exterior walls insulated with alum- inum foil, roof and second-floor ceil- ing insulated with rock wool, and all water and heating pipes of copper. The house has six rooms which were furnished by Woodward & Loth- rop. Selection as the Silver Star Home, the fourth of 1935, was by a committee of experts who function in co-opera- tion with The Star. Members are James S. Taylor of the Federal Hous- ing Administration, Harold E. Doyle, president of the Washington Real Es- tate Board, Edwin H. Rosengarten, builder and member of the firm of Davis, Wick & Rosengarten; Irwin 8.

BALTIMORE GAINS | BALTIMORE, August 10.—Gains in commercial and industrial buildings and in home construction in Balti- more were shown in the first seven months of 1935, as compared to the same period last year. The total of all bui.ding operations for the period however, showed a decrease from last | year, due mainly to the absence of | large municipal and Federal con- | struction projects. The total for the seven months of 1935 was $4,907,580, as compared with $5,745,456 last year. |~ Permits granted since January 1 in- | cluded 11 manufacturing buildings totaling $494,000 and 46 stores total- ing $207,000.
