cetved for permission to wire or re-
wire nearly 5000 San Francisco homes,
which is attributed in a measure 10
the lessons learned from the two SER
vantless houses exhibited on the Lake
shore Highland property of Waiter H
Lelmert Company in Oakland during
the latter part of August Thirty
Following a similar exhibit in Sacra-
mcnto ten servantless houses have
been started. Reports from building
interests Of that city show that the
demand for electrical equipment and
installation has increased 20 per cent
in the last few months.
West Turns to Electricity
The California houses which reached
in cost from $4,000 to 100000 have
been disposed of 50 quickly that build<
ers have decided that the public wants
servantlcss houses and are preparing
to provide the market with a number
of them if not interrupted by labor and
building material conditions.
Tests made in the California houses
show that home for the average size
family may be lighted and operated at
cost CT 81 cents a week. More than
half of that cost, or 45 cents, win 60
for lights. Thirty-six cents will meet
the cost OF five hours Of ironing, five
hours of sewing, six hours of house
cleaning, doing the family wash, clean
ing the dishes for twenty-one meals
and toasting bread for seven break
fasts. AS such facilities mean q great
saving in servant hire and contentment
for the family, builders of suburban
and urban homes also-cannot, put off
much longer forming an alliance with

twenty-five houses have just been
completed on the Lawrence Park prop
critics at Bronxville by the Village In
vesting Company. The houses have
been erected on Pondfeld Road, di-
rectly opposite the new Village Park.
The improvement represents an invest
ment of 100000.
The section has been called Bolton
Gardens. The homes have been erected
in a group of four buildings, contain
ing twenty-five separate and complete
houses. located in a rectangular form
upon tract of about four acres,
which permits the buildings to be ar
tlstically laid out, surrounded by
lawns, shrubbery and trees.
Each unit in the community group
contains seven rooms and two baths,
with laundry in the basement. The
buildings are constructed of hollow
tile, with fire walls between the units,
and artistic slate roofs The houses
have been designed by Bates & How,
architects, of this city.
Hidden from sight and in the rear
of the group, is central heating plant
New-York tribune., 1920-10-24

The first electrical, servantlcss home
known in this country followed this
talk. Mr. Dasey decided to put to the
test the suggestions of Mr. Palmer, and
Mr.. Palmer no doubt was eager to sec
just how efficient electricity could be
in the home which until that time had
been called upon for little assistance
The Malba wonder house is ready 1t
is even a more efficient home than the
builder expected it to be when he set
out to overcome the sovereignty of the
servant and the depressing effect of
endless housekeeping SO satisfactory
is the servantless, electrical home. the
wonder house, that he plans to make
all the new Malba homes servantless,
and may be expected to do everything
to aid those living at Malba to make
their homes servantless.
In the Malba house, which is known
as the Pagoda, electrical fixtures will
do everything from heating the hair
irons on the mistress's dressing table
to washing, drying and ironing the
family wash, and from cooling the food
by frigid air to toasting the bread for

Study City Budget;
It's Your Duty !

1t is the duty of every man and
woman who lives in New York Civ
TO take interest in the budget which
IS made up every fall to carry the
clty through to the following fall.
II you are rent payer, all thc more
reason why you should study care

and such increase will be allowed
by the courts.
Some landlords, Judging from tes-
tlmony given before the Mayors

will ask for increases that will more
than give them the taxes on their
property. The budget, therefore. is
of vital interest to every one, be-
cause every dwellcr in the city, and
particularly the rent payer, will
have to meet it.
In the early days of the city it
was the self-imposcd duty Of every
family man to study the cost OF citv
government, what police and IN
protection were to cost, what the
Board of Education required to
carry on its work. The public no
longer bothers about such things;
in fact, it has come to consider that
budget making is no longer it's
business, forgetting that it has to
pay the bill. Police Commissioner
Enright, for instance, asked for
more than 100000 900 to protect the
city next year. You should interest
yourself and know whether that is
too much, or whether it is a reason

should be made of every depart
ments figures. If the public would
display greater interest in the items
that go into the budget, reduction
would follow and increases in rent
ais would not be SO large

New-York tribune., 1920-10-24

The builder and the electrical expert
have united to solve the great troubles
OF the housewife, and the result has
been what may be termed the wonder
house, for it has returned to the mis-
tress her place as the head of her
home without reposng on her or those
she may select to Operate" her home
any of the trials of the household of
yesterday.
In the wonder house she may once
more ignore the whims of the hired
lady without fear of consequences.
The wonder home which has been
developed is really operated rather
than maintained. The liberal use of
electricity and electrical equipment in
the commercial fields suggested that
they be put to work in the home, as in
the factory in reducing manual labor.
The wonder house. therefore is an cleo
trica home; it is house that is oper-
ated is servant-proof and equal to the
highest ideals of efficiency In domestic
science.
The conspiracy against her majesty
the maid and drudgery, destroyers Of
nerves and happiness, came about in
most casual way Ray Palmer, presi-
dent Of the Queens County Light and
Power Company, man who did big
things in the electrical world of Chi
cago and other great cities of the
country before he came to Queens, was
discussing the purchase of water
front plot Of land at Malba. facing on
Long Island Sound and just beyond
Flushing, with Robert w. Dasey, sales
manager of the estate, which was for
merly the country place of William
Zieg4er, millionaire baking powder
manufacturer. Incidentally Mr.. Pal
mer said that he intended to make lib
eral use of electricity in the home
which he would build in overcoming
the servant problem. which he declared
kept many folks from going into the
country to live. Mr.. Palmer intimated
that he intended to make his family
Independent OF serving help, for he
had resolved to use servants he knew
lot about. servants who would not fail
him morning. noon or night, servants
who would need no humoring to keep
them on the JOB.
Available for Small Homes
Mr. Dasey asked if the same kind of
servants could be put into smaller
homes than that which Mr.. Palmer
planned for himself, and if It vas eco
nomically possible for the family Of
limited income to have such desirable
household help.
With peecil and paper Mr.. Palmer
