TENANT OWNERS
PROBLEM
Indian Hill Becomes Town of
Home Owners Who Pay Com
pany for Building Houses

Worcester. Mass, April 4.-Houses
for workers the problem that is the
bugaboo of every city in the United
States-has been solved here, in part
at least.
In 1915, the Norton Company, then
having 1900 employees, was faced by
the problem of big Labor turnover
because of ina6equate, Insufficient
housing.
The company determined to build
not the usual company houses which
have failed to solve the housing prob
lem anywhere, but a modern indus
trial village. 1t called in one of the
best town planners and architects in
the country.
A 23-acre site, several miles from
the heart of the city, near Indian Lake,
on a lofty ridge, with a beautiful view
over open country, was selected.
Today, it is the industrial village of
Indian Hill one of the most sue
cessful housing developments in the
United States. The workers are all
happy.
The Indian Hill Company, a sub
sidiary of the Norton company. was
formed to carry out the development
with view to individual ownership,
permanency and contentment in en-
ployment, and resultant general eff
cheney.
Indian Hill has no gridiron of
streets. no asphalt paving, no rows
of houses of intolerable sameness. The
streets wind about the natural grades.
The first fifty-eight houses We're
built in two operations during the
summers of 1915 and 1916. The houses
are white frame, and have slate roofs.
In addition to one and family
houses Indian Hill has a dining hall,
the Satucket Inn, a boarding house
for bachelors, embodying the features
of a club, a similar institution for
bachelor girls of the office force, a
chapel and a recreation hall.
There are large parks. small parks
and children's Fairgrounds.
The Indian Hill Company requires
from the purchaser an initial pay
ment of 10 per cent of the purchase
price, whereupon conveyance of the
property is made. For the balance the
purchaser gives two notes, one for
81, 900, payable in twelve years at 3
per cent, and another for the balance
mand, with interest at 5 per cent,
both notes being secured by a pur-
chase money mortgage.
The purchaser gives also a sup
Elementary agreement 10 the effect
that he viii purchase in a CO.
operative bank five shares, and will
continue payments thereupon until his
deposits shall have matured in the sum
of $1,000.
This insures the payment OF the
12-year- note. according TO its terms.
1t gives the purchaser a feeling of in
dependence, inasmuch as he does not
make periodical payments on the
principal to the company. and enables
him to become acquainted with CO.
operative bank methods.
In consideration OF this agreement
the company agrees not to make de-
mand upon the demand note as long
as the purchaser shall continue TO
make monthly payments of interest to
the company and payments to the
bank.
The result is that at the end of
twelve years a sufficient proportion
of the purchase price has been paid
so that the purchaser owns the prop
erty free except a first mortgage for
not over so per cent Of the value of
the property. so that he can go to a
bank for a mortgage. If he wishes. and
he independent OF the company.

PRESIDENT May RETURN TREATY.
TO SENATE If THE HOUSE ADOPTS
RESOLUTION TO TERMINATE War
Question Expected to be Brought
Forward Friday With Bitter
Debate Looked For.
MONDELL URGES THRIFT
Declares Government Is Spend
ing Money Faster Than 1t
Can Be Collected in Taxes

Washington, April 4.-The fight in
Congress over formal termination of
the war will be renewed this week and
leaders of both parties are preparing
for another desperate fight along
strictly partisan lines. With the fail
ure of the Senate to ratify the peace
treaty, after almost a year of debate,
the House will vote on a resolution
put forward by the Republicans, de-
claring the war at an end and defin-
ing the powers of the president in re-
1ation TO the status which the United
States would them assume toward
Germany.
There are indications that this will
lead to further developments in con-
nection with the treaty, possibly its
resubmis sion to the Senate by the
president as the administrations
counter move. Immediately after the
final vote was taken. on which the
treaty definitely rejected. Sen. Lodge
was definitely rejected. Senator Lodge
asked the unanimous consent to a mo-
tion to reconsider, but was refused
should the president resubmit the
treaty there are indications that an
other effort will be made TO reach
compromise and ratify.
The house is due to vote Friday on
the resolution to end the war. De-
bate is expected to be bitter. There
are a variety of opinions as to the
constitutionality of such resolution,
some holding that inasmuch as the
president is authorized to wage war
he must have a hand in ending 1t.
Washington, April 4.-Government
