When tho reclamation of Potomac Park from tho flats and ehnllows'of the Potomac river at Washington had "Bungalow Town" quisition of property Is In Itself con siderable of an innovation In Wash ington, but by far tho most novel feature of tho proposition lies In tha "building restrictions." In a. majority of tho newer suburbs assurance Is given to tha purchaser of each lot that tho character of tho aoctlon will always bo maintained by tho writing of a covenant into his deed that each houso built In tho vicinity shall cost not lesH than a stated number of thousands of dollars. In "Uungalow Town" this proposition will bo exactly revorsed, for It will bo specifically provided that no bungalow shall cost In excess of $1,000. This will reduce tho maximum expenditure of each property holder to (2,000, becnuso It will bo provided In the original subdi vision that each bungalow must be surrounded by ono aero of ground. Subsequently It will bo permissible to further subdlvldo and build additional bungalows, nlthough at no time will the projectors of tho enterprise permit n houso to ntnnd upon lens than one- half ncro of ground.
