COUNTRY'S NEED OF HOMES
Apartment House Can Never ReSVL
Take the Place of the In ~
diViduaI Abode.

In helping solve the housing prob
lem of the cities the apartment house
meets a very real demand. There is
need for such houses with sufficient
rooms TO care for families. There is
a place for others with smaller quar-
tiers where bachelor apartments may
be maintained. 1t is well for cities
to have apartment houses in such num-
bers as to help meet the demand for
quarters from those who prefer to
live In rooms without the advantage
of yard and garden.
But it is far better for a city to have
a hundred new separate homes erected
than to have hundred family apart
ment houses constructed. The proper
and natural way of living is for ore
family to have house, with the little
grass plot in the yard. a bit Of garden
in the back part of the lot. with the
freedom and cOnvenienceS and priv
acy that separate homes provide. Co
Iumbus has a housing demand now
that calls for some more apartment
bOuses, those with proper convenient
ces and a rental not too great But
It has greater need for more separate
homes. There are hundreds of vacant
lots, the cost of the building being
suited to the neighbOrhOOd. There is
a great need for the homes that will
care for small families, homes within
the purchasing power of the man Of
limited means, who has saved some
money, is we'll employed and wants
to pay OOt for his home during the
coming years. Every man Is a better
