RECEPTION HALLS ARE
SMALL HOME FEATURES
Add Privacy to Rear Of House With
out Sacrifice Of Space or
RoominesA

Styles in home building seem to be
subject to variation and change the
Same as other fashions Desire for
something new and unusual is as
strong among architects and builders
as among other classes: besides which.
efforts to introduce new talking
points" to aid in the sale Of home
properties is an impelling cause In
bringing about changes That these
are often made at the sacrifice OF
points of real excellence and con-
venience Is shown by the reintroduo-
ton in small homes of the reception
hall.
Several years ago builders decided
that reception halls were useless
Injuries in homes Of six or seven
rooms 1t was argued that they used
up space that might be utilized to bet
ter advantage otherwise. and that,
however necessary they might be In
larger residences, there was no real
place for them in the small homes.
Recently a return to the reception
hall plan has been noted in small
modern homes built in several sections
of Washington. Notably is this true In
and Webster streets northwest The
homes are six and eight rooms, each
including in it's frst-f1o plan a roomy
reception hall entered from the front
vestibule.
The reception hall separates the
living room from the dining room. af-
fordins privacy in the latter room
when it is desired. The hall also gives
space for the stairway leading to the
upper floor, concealing this stairway
from the front of the house as we'll as
from the dining room. It affords space
for an additional closet, placed under
the stairway, which may be used for
a coat and umbrella closet and the re-
ception hall is also an ideal place for
the location of the telephone as the
sound of the bell may be heard in
every part of the house, from the
kitchen to the rear bedroom on the
second floor.
The homes referred to are approx
mately forty feet in depth, and the re-
ception hall is included in the floor
arrangement without any sacrifice OF
space or roominesS
Another operation in which receptior
halls are features of six and seven
room homes is in the Park View sec
ton. where small homes thirty-nine
feet deep include apparently spacious
reception halls in the ffrst-foor plan
with colonial arrangement of hall

bedchamber and the bathroom openinp

ut is asserted that with this plan In
effect buyers will no longer call for

ing The experience of contractors
here has no doubt been that Of tho
common lot. They have put in a con-
siderable amount of time and q large
amount of labor in figuring on Jobs,
losing the contracts because they were
few dollars higher than the success
full bidder. Under the new plan It Is
proposed that the contractor shall re-
ceive compensation for all bids sub
mitted.
Must Pay for Competition.
The intent is that the buyer may
have as much fair competition as he
wishes to pay for. After he has chosen
his contra ctors in a fair and unpreju-
diced manner and has further paid a
just and reasonable price for the COM
petition, he shall be under no obliga.

own decision based upon his own opin-
ions of the qualifications of the bidder
or the bidders price. or a comparison
of both.
IF the buyer of the work to be fig-
ured upon Is acting as a private indi-
vidua1. then he may choose his own
method of selecting bidders. He re-
serves the right to select as many or
as few as he may choose or wishes to

the bid upon which the contract is
awarded, or the lowest legitimate bid.
If the contract is not awarded. a sum
equal to the square root of the average
of all bids received, multiplied by Z.
AS an example. if the average of all bids
received shall be 100000. the square root
