Of White Plains. The cheapest Of the
four is held at $4,000 and $19,50o is
wanted for the best Of the group. These
houses contain eight and nine rooms
and three baths. Eight rooms and
three baths you will get for $4,000
IN the Fischer Avenue development, and
for $19,500 you will get additional
rooms, and perhaps larger rooms all
the way through.
A family with about $4,000 ready for
investment in home might be interest
ed In these dwellings, for they are at
tractive and arranged to meet the best
ideals of American life in the country.
They are erected on terrsced plots,
which imne diately convey the idea of
privacy. The houses are not jammed
together, there being plenty Of space
for air and sunlight to bathe every side.
The dwellings are Of different designs,
and for that reason the interior spac-
Ing and arrangement are not always the

and three baths and the $19,5O0 nine
rooms and three baths.

rooms are on the second floor, and ac-

Modern ideas Of housekeeping have
not been overlooked. In fact. all of
these new houses might wellsbe termed
electrical homes because Of the facili-
ties which the builders have provided d
for the use Of nearly every known an
pllance for labor saving and comfort
Gas ranges are fitted into the kitchen
for tho use Of the cook and In The
cellar are places for hitching up wash
ing machinery.
Built on Hillside
The Fischer Avenue houses are on a
shelf on the north side of the hill. and
from them may be seen the entire
country to the north. At the foot Of
the hill ere the Bronx River and park

Further east are the Sound View

S19,500, another at $4,000 and two st
$4,000 each. These houses have eight
and nine rooms and three baths. II is
not likely that the builders will part
with them for much less than $4,000
cash. 1t is possible that they NAV de-
mend more cash, as their investment in
them is laxge, much larger than build
crs used to put into houses, and for
that reason upward Of 25 per cent Of
the price will be demanded in cash. A
substantial cash payment Is indicative
of the desire Of the buyer to carry
through his contract, and besides It
permits the builder to start new con-
struction.
In the Carhardt section there are not
more than two houses in the market.
AT least, there are possibilities that
two houses under construction there
will be offered for sale. One of them
will be offered for sale at about $13 900.
1t is a seven-room house. If the house
sounds attractive to you do not hesi-
tate to get in touch with one of the
Wnlte flalns brokers, because there is
a likelihood that it can be purchased.
Three New Gedney Farm Houses
There are three houses in Gedney
Farm now awaiting tenants. Two of
them are shown in the accompanying
ILLUSTRATIONS and represent the best
$22,5o0 and 23,500, and have nine
rooms each, and are very attractive
buildings in an attractive section.
A feature of these houses is the
living. room, extending along the en-
tire side Of each building. In this room
is an open fireplace, which gives the
room cheerful appearance. The length
OF the room has the effect Of making
the ceiling seem lower than it is. IN
one house the living room is on the
other side, with swinging doors, on
sockets, leading to the pantry and to
She Kitcnen. "A door in the rear of the
nan isolates the service section from
the living section Of the home. There
are the back stairs leading to the sec
ond floor, where are the master bed
rooms, and the third floor, on which
are two bedrooms and bath for serv-
ants.
On the second floor, besides the bed
rooms, are the baths, one Of which ia
