Building I'm this city seems to be on
the increase just at this time. The
majority of the new residences are
being erected in the northwestern
part of the city and from all accounts
the greater majority of the future
building of the city will be located
in that vicinity. Many of the new
houses are being erected in Laurie
street, which it a been claimed Is
one OF the finest residential streets IN
the city at the present time. Tine
houses being built in Laurie street
are erected at a cost of from $1,000
to $4,000.
New Houses In Laurie Street
Chris Nielsen is building three
houses in Laurie street. 1t is expect
ed that they will be ready for occu-
pancy by July L. Mr.. Nielsen has Just
started the cellar for another one OF
these houses.
George woitscheck has contracted
with Paul Jessen for the erection OF
n residence in Laurie street. II is
expected that work will be started on
the property within the immediate
future.

of home building? Did you ever

1t may seem funny but this is a COM
mon question among people, and
when one a answer, why yes, we
purchased this property about a
year ago." Right away the caller
begins to show more interest in you.
II you don't own your home. you
feel rather embarrassed at first and
whether you own the property or
not. and then finally say something
like this. why, no, we don't own the
property, but we expect to purchase
a home sometime in the near flu

To SAFEGUARD
"OWN HOME"
what Local Committees Are
Doing for Those Who Want
to Aid Private Interests

| Local committees engaged in the
Own Your Own Home campaign,
which the U. 8. Department of Labor
has been conducting since the first
of the year, have as one of their
| chief functions the safeguarding of
the interests of builders and investor
against profiteering in land values or
building materials.
Wherever a town or city a I'M
dertaken to stimulate building as part
of the Nations reconstruction pro-
gram, the interests of the committees
have been coordinated in such a way
that spectators in rea estate or con-
tractors willing to exploit the builder
have had little chance. Real estate
exchanges, chambers of commerce.
mortgage investment companies, and
building associations have worked
together for the common good. With
the first idea that shortage of housing
gives an opportunity to start con-
~struction work which provides en-
pIoyment for returning soldiers, the
Own Your Own Home movement was
started in a few enterprising cities.
It quickly spread untfl now more thar

The Own Your Own Home cam
paign has been primarily an effort to
revive building, but naturally 1t has
awakened ambition to buy as well as
to build. Here again 1t has been the
aim Of the Government to protect In
vestors from purchases that are nc
advantageous. 1t has been emphasiz-
ed that local general committees OF
the Own Your Own Home campaign
should appoint various subcommittee
to deal with special branches of home
owning enterprises On such subcom-
mittees It has been stipulated that

Artistic Ideas Observed
in Modern Home Building

In the own your own home cam
paign the United States Department
of Labor has received abundant as
surance of a widespread interest in
the artistic side of building. Wher-
ever cities have conducted organized
work to stimulate the construction of
houses, evidence has been abundant
that interest N beauty as well as
utility governs the work of providing
shelter for growing populations.
While the plan of the American
Federation of Arts to make a tour of
the country for the purpose Of i'm
proving the public taste by the ex-
hibition of pictures and statuary is
praiseworthy, the application of art
to everyday affairs must be made
concrete, 1T Is pointed out, If it Is to
have a speedy effect. For this rea-
son, exhibitions of wall paper, rugs,
curtains, artistic in design. have been
provided in connection with a num-
Der of the local campaigns. Models
showing varieties in architecture and
grouping of houses, with a view to
best general effect, also have been
shown.
Landscape architecture has it's part
in the plans projected in most cities.
The development of the garden as
part of the home idea Is extended to
its community relationship wherever
possible so hat in the wholesale

assured.
