most for his money and as attractive and
convenient a home as possible. 1t includes
all the little family ideas; there is the
oriol window which the daughter wants,
the fireplace which his wife has her heart
set on and the den and study for the son.
He pays the architect for this special serv-
ice, which is. of course, more than
charged for stock plans. After the plans
are complete Mr.. Stock Plan Architect ad-
vertises these plans for sale in a cata-
logue for S., $40 and SIS. This is not right.
1t is not dealing with the man who had
these floor plans made for him and paid
for them, honestly. They are his plans;
they are not the architects plans and he
has no right to sell them again. The only
honest way to conduct q stock plan bust
ness is for the architect to get up his own
stock plans after his own ideas to fill
various requirements. stand the expense of
preparing these plans himself. They are
then his plans; they do not belong to some
previous client. He can then sell the priv
ilege of building from these plans to whom
ever he pleases at any price and as many
times as he pleases, provided that each
man who purchases the right to build from
plans so prepared distinctly understands
that the privilege is reserved to reproduce
them. There is only one way of telling If
an architect is selling the special plans of
his clients: that is to carefully examine the
Illustrations which he publishes and see If
they are actual photographs or reproduced
from water-color sketches. If they are
| actual photographs, then this architect df
he offers the plans for sale) is not dealing
with his clients honestly.
II you intend to build a home which
will cost $4,000 or over be sure and have
specially drawn plans prepared to fill all of
your individual requirements. There Is
but a very remote chance of your being
able TO find a set of ready-made plans that
will fill your requirements in a house OF
this size. For houses costing less than
1000 II is often possible to find a desirable
plan. for the requirements are not so
many, and a desirable, simple arrange
ment can sometimes be found which Will
fill all requirements.
But remember! Do not under any con-
sideration buy a plan because OF its price
or engage an architect simply because or
his price. 1t is not what you pay for plans
but what you get, that is the important
consideration.
You have several thousand dollars whlch
you are going to invest in a home, a home

Special Plans VS. Stock Plans
Arthur @. C1ausen, Architect

There is often a confusion in the mind of
a prospective home builder as to how to
decide upon a plan for the home. Some
will send for all the catalogues Of plans
they know of with the idea of selecting
from one of them va plan suited to their
needs. II the house desired is small, the
plans desired are sometimes found, but it
very seldom occurs in medium sized or
large homes that another Individual in an
other part of the country should happen
to have had arranged for them a plan and
exterior design entirely suited to the fam
lily needs which can be built for exactly
the amount which the prospective home
builder desires to spend. For this reason
the home builders will sometimes select a
certain plan which suits them in part and
expect to cover the various changes desired
in an arrangement with the contractor.
This method invariably leads to mistakes
and MISUNDERSTANDING and the results are
seldom satisfactory. 1t is therefore better
to have the plans entirely redrawn to
meet the requirements, instead of trying
to get along on an inaccurate set of plans.
So far as the number of details is con-
cerned, there is no difference between a

special set Of plans. To answer frequent
inquiries as to what should constitute a
set Of plans the following condensed de-
scription of what complete plans, as fur
nished by all competent architects, consist
of, is given:
Complete plans consist of the basement,
first and second floor plans and a plan of
the roof, when necessary, also elevations
of all four sides Of the house. These all
accurately drawn to a working scale of
one-quarter inch to the foot Always one
and sometimes two to five sheets of
structural details and details of design de-
pending upon the size of the house. These
drawn to a very large scale, with the
most important details and mouldings
drawn full size. 1t is upon these details
that so much depends the proper construc-
ton and artistic design of the house. A
martial list of the details is as follows:
Cornices, porch details, sections through
windows and doors, elevations of doors
ana windows. full size details of door and
window finish, elevations Of fireplaces,
stairs. pantry fixtures and other details,
etc. The floor plans show the proper ar
rangement Of rooms, doors, windows, fire
places, etc, with all necessary measure
ments accurately given, which are many

elevations are accurately drawn, with all
proper dimensions given and materials in

proper places, with glass sizes given. Ele-

The specifications are typewriter and
cover all points regarding the proper con-

a detailed and technical manner, including
heating, plumbing and painting.
The question is often asked, Where dc
stock plans come from; are they some
other mans special plans?" This is a
question which most so-called architects
who conduct q stock plan business would
rather not answer. for as a matter of fact
the writer is the only one in the profes-
sion conducting a stock plan business with
out confiscating for that purpose the spe-
cial plans Of previous clients. The program
is usually this: A man has a special set

In the congressional record Of Jan.
Is, on page lO42, is a notice of the
introduction OF a bill by Senator
Paynter for the relief of SAMUEL F.
johnson and the other commissioned
officers of the Seventeenth Kentucky
Cavalry Volunteers" The bill has
been referred to the Committee on
Claims.
We take it that this bill relates to
Col. Sam Johnson, a Methodist
preacher who became a Federal Of
ficer and his career as blood 'thrs-
ty and cruel hater Of everything
that bore the name of Confederate
made him the most universally de-
tested character in Kentucky's war
history, with possibly one exception.
The very name of "Old Sam john
sou" is still despised by every friend
of the lost cause. If this is indeed
the man for whom relief is sought,
whatever the relief may be. we feel
that Senator Paynter should at least
know of the character of the man
the bill would benefit. Johnson is
long since dead, but before he died
more than one brave Confederate
soldier hunted him up and personally
chastised him for indignities perpe-
ated while he,was Federal officer.
While stationed in this city he had
several men shot without any sort
of trial
One of these was Capt. James
Brewer, whom he accused of que
rilla warfare, and he was murder
ed in October, 1864. At the same
time a man named Bassett, of Hop
kins county, was shot without being
told what he was executed for. At
another time it is said he ordered
single soldier to take a prisoner
named Vass down on the river bank
and shoot him. Vass was shot in
the back of the head while walking
in front of the soldier in path down
the bank. A brave young Kentuck
ian named Massie, of Pembroke, was
murdered in an equally brutal man
ntr and the details of that shocking
crime are still fresh in the memory
of old citizens.
He filled this city with prisoners
on trumped up charges, some of
them ministers of the gospel, and on
one occasion asked to be allowed to
detail men to be shot under Bur
BRIDGES infamous four to-one retail
alton order, taking them from prison
ers arrested for "sympathizing with
the rebellion"
Gen McCook finally arrived here
in time to release the prisoners not
already murdered and to rid Hop
kinsvile of Johnson's hated presence.
Many other Kentucky towns suffer
ed from his crimes and any sort Of
relief extended TO him or to his
memory is altogether undeserved, in
the opinion of men who knew him
best.
