WILL ADOPT ENGLISH PLAN
Syndicate Proposes to Construct Large
Number of "Co-operative Homes"
in Pennsylvania City.

Plans are under way to construct at
least 1000 homes in Marcus Hook,
Delaware county, Pennsylvania. One
of the most interesting of the projects
is for the construction of 81 houses on
plan similar to that of the English
village of Chester. This plan is
sponsored by d Philadelphia syndicate,
and the estimated cost is upwards OF
$250.0oO. According to specifications
the village will center at an intersec-
ton of two streets.
The proposed homes will be of the
type known as "co-opcrative homes
similar to those being built at Bourne
vile and Port Sunlight England. The
dwellings will be built of brick and
stucco. with STORING roofs and will be
set well back On lawns. At each of
the four corners of the four principal
residential squares there will be tri-
angular shaped lawn with shrubbery
and flowers.

Damage From Lightning Small.

The damage to property from light
ming is so small that it is almost neg
ligible, in comparison to the damage by
fire of other origin. That modern
building construction makes the dan
ger from lightning much less in the
cities than it is in the country is the
contention of the Electrical Review,
which says that the metallic roofs and
the steel that enters largely into the
construction of buildings in the cities
seem to rob the lightning of most of
it's destructive power, even If build
ingS are struck.
