buys that the house is complete and
ready for occupancy. Some builders
make a practice of erecting a house and
Offering It for sale at a price that APP
pears on its face TO be bargain. Their
object is, however. to realize n large
profit from the extra improvements the
unsuspecting buyer finds he must make
in order to render his house habitable.
Needless 10 say reputable builders frown
on this practice.
One of the first considerations with
which the home buyer must concern
himself is the question OF the legality
OF the title which he Is to acquire. 1t
cannot be too strongly urged that every
purchaser should have the title to the
property he is TO buy searched by n
title guarantee and insurance company.
There may be blanket mortgage cover
| ing the property concerned or a break
! in the legal chain OF which even the
seller may be ignorant.
In this respect it is far better to have
the title search conducted by a company
making this work its speciality than to
rely on the professional advice of an at

10 Aid Those in Search of Homes The
Sur" Will Publish Series of Arti-
cles on the A B C;s of
House Buying

Even before the dawn OF civilization
men felt the desire TO acquire a little
section of the earth that they could
call their own and where they could feel
secure from intrusion. II Is probable
that the prehistoric man would have
been unable TO give articulats express
sion to this desire, but he was capable
OF gratifying It. Homo seeking was a
simple affair In those days II de-
sired cave or lair was tenated there
was no question of offering financial in
ducernents to Its occupant to vacate.
The dexterous use OF a jagged piece of
rock or a rude club was sufficient to
pass title until a more skilful or mus
cular homo seeker appeared to take
possession.
Later in history tho possession Of
property was the mark which distin-
guished the noble from the serf. The
lsndless man was an object of scorn
end contempt. the slave of the land
owner. To-day owing to changing
economic conditions and the growth Of
our cities there has arisen a large class
Of individuals who are content to pass
their lives In homes or apartments
owned by others. Financial reasons
are not the compelling motives which
actuate this class. There are yearly
rents paid in the fashionable residen-
fisl districts OF New York city which
would more than suffice to purchase
outright a handsome home in the sub
urbs. Yet those who prefer to rent
rather than own. claim that they are
free to change their habitation when
ever the whim seizes them and that
they enjoy more comforts and have less
responsibilities than the owners Of
suburban homes. and in addition they
are spared the necessity OF committing.
There are many who are inclined to
agree with them.
On the other hand, however. there
are thousands of men and women Of
moderate means who have always
wanted to own a homo in the suburbs
but who do not know Just how to go
about acquiring one. For the benefit Of
these city dwellers THE SUN proposes
to publish from time a series or arti-
cles dealing with the suburban home
question and explaining the elementary
rules which should govern the home
seeker. This series will he illustrated
with photographs and plans which will
show different types OF homes and give
their cost.
Among the subjects which will be
taken up will be the questions OF trans
portation. location. tnstapnent payments,
mortgages, cost of construction. altera-
tons, architecture and others OF a SINH
lar character. The increasing shortage
Of desirable apartments in the city and
the great increase OF rents will, 1t Is be-
iieved. make these articles particularly
opportune. In connection with this series

wait until this beautiful district took

out our development along lines of ulti-

1T should be understood in the be-

introduced that can stand the test OF

plans had been approved and sent
in or request made by the State

Mr. Wiley. as State Road Com
missioner, promised early last

send in these plans for Federal aid
for the roads in these counties. and

Mr.. Boggs to approve the plans that
had been sent in by these counties

a request for Federal aid for the

but neither Of them answered the

proved or sent in any plans to Wash

TO do so, We have been unable to
