Building for June in the principal cities
shows considerable improvement over the
preceding months of the year. There was
a decrease Of i per cent, however, in
comparison with the same month a year
ago. During the month just closed per-
mits were taken out in forty-four cities
according to official reports to Construc-
ton News, for the construction of IL, 515
buildings. involving a total estimated cost
of SOL 1927 ,55S, against 1858 buildings as-
gregating in cost S.. 416.0 s2 for the cor
responding month a year ago, a decrease
of 13S buildings and s9,4SS.5
June year ago was highwater mark
or very close to 1t. A month of moder-
ate quiet, is therefore compared with g.
activity:
1t is interesting to note that New York
city is among the list Of cities showing
a gain. Permits were taken out In that
city in June for buildings involving total
estimated cost Of $1G96S. 100. against ST.
131. 80 for the corresponding month a
year ago, or an increase Of 80 per cent.
Fourteen of the cities in the list show an
widely varying localities. remote from
each other. It may be surprising to note
that building Is so active In the south, IN

PLANS REVOLVING HOUSE.
New York Man to Build on a Turn.
table Run by Electricity.


From the New York Times.
William Reiman has had plans drawn
by Architect Clarence True for a revoiv-
ing house, which he will build at Bay
side. l.. I.
Mr.. Reiman's Bayside home will be the
result Of many years Of thought over the
matter Of genuine home comfort, for he
has often declared that, with the advan-
tages of modern appliances and cleo
tricity, there seemed little reason for the
sunny side of house being in the sun
all summer and the shady side being in
the shade all winter.
Mr.. Reiman would have home the
windows of which may follow the sun
shine in winter or avoid 1t in summer.
Architect True has studied the problem
and has completed plans for such a home.
which will be built at cost OF So, GOO,
exclusive Of the real estate.
AS proposed. the house will be con-
structed on turntabie. which will be
operated by electric power. The owner.
in his library or bedroom, may press a
button, and on the piazzas will sound a
tinkling Of bells to those who are about
to enter or leave the house, warning them
that the Reiman home Is about to ma
neuver by either tho rigflt or left flank.
Allowing family. servants and guests
time to get either in or out Of the house,
Mr.. Reinan will then prees another but
ton. and the house will swing to right or
left. as he may desire.
Sitting in his library window and weary

ing Of the view. he may turn the house
around and get another vista without
leaving his chair. Or II the breeze shifts
and the owner Of the house finds himself
cut off from it. he gives the alarm and
moves his home around and around and
around until he gets the breeze where he
wants 1t. OF course, sunshine and shade
will be his to command, and if he desires
to sleep late and the light is in his win
dow he presses the button near his bed
and swings away from the east.
The house was designed by Mr.. Reiman
himself. and the plans as drawn show
that his scheme Is eminently practical
Mr.. Reiman will have neither front nor
be so laid out that the front entrance
will fit at any point of the compass. The
revolution of the house will be practically
noiseless. and part of the turntable will
be visible
Mr.. Reiman believes that his house will
have a lot OF hygienic advantages.
Il have had this house in my mind for
a number Of years. he said. prior to
the actual decision to build, 1 made some
experiments to test the feasibility of the
plan. I do not look on the matter as
fad. for it is a question OF common sense
There Is no more reason why one should
he roasted or chilled in certain rooms of
q house year after year than there is that
one should live on the outside OF it.
am satisfied with the plans provided me-
and I believe that others will build re-
volving houses, following my plans"
Mr. Reiman will begin building the
house this summer and will have 1t ready
in the late fall.
"I will use the colonial style Of archi-
lecture for the house." he said. 1.-THE
kitchen will be built away from il. There
will be five bedrooms and baths on the
second floor, and on the first large re-
ception hall. dining room. den. library
and pantry. There is only one other
house Of this kind that 1 have heard Of,
and that one is said to be in Switzer-
land.

Beauty of the Most Recent Addi-
ton to the Space of the
Capital City.

Washington is not the only city in the
country where plans for betterment in the
conditions and surroundings of daily life
are being discussed and also being car
ried out. A recent magazine writer esti-
mates there are at least forty cities and
towns where comprehensive schemes for
making more beautiful as well as more
healthful centers Of population are pro-
posed and in some instances being carried
out. In Chicago, for example, an elabo-
rate plan for restoring to the public, as
it is termed. the blue line Of the lake"
is being agita.ed, with good prospects of
realization.
1t is proposed to restore to the public
the beautiful lake front as we'll as to put
an end to the use of the Chicago river as
sewer. The river front OF st. Louis is
also to be made accessible to the public,
with bordering line of a broad avenue
ard provision for parks and open places.
The aim in these and similar plans for
producing the city beautiful is not only to
furnish better surroundings for city life,
but also to introduce the refining inf1u-
ences which are not to be found in the
setting Of the average city.
Practical Phases of Parks.
1t is designed to furnish places where
the people who spend their lives closely
confined to their homes can so for recre-
at ion without the necessity OF taking long
and expensive trips. The provision in all
these schemes for an abundance of open
places is based not alone on the advan-
tase to the health of the surrounding
population. but also includes the idea of
public recreation. There Is also notice
able the element of civic pride. the desire
to have the place where one lives at
least equal. if not superior, in beauty to
other cities.
A notable addition which has been made
of late years to the attractiveness of this
city, not merely from a scenic point of
view but also from the standpoint Of
sanitary betterment and sthe provision Of
