HOUSING PROBLEM SOLVED.
Greenfield, Mass, Builds Many Attrac-
tive and inexpensive Homes.


GREENFIELD, Mass, Jan. l7.-Some
interesting light was thrown on the hous-
ing problem, and a possible solution
pointed out for the acute condition that
exists here by Frederic T. Wells, who
has had much experience in the building
of attractive but inexpensive houses. Mr..
Wells and his son, F. w. Wells, after
making study of the matter, solved
the problem of manufacturing houses in
quantities instead of building them in
dividually. They built 10 houses in 1917.
They were all built from a standardized
plan drawn and worked out bv the
younger Wells, but were so situated
upon the lots, and so varied in minor
details that the observer, passing through
the street where they stand would never
dream that they were constructed from
the same plan, thus avoiding the deadly
monotony that is so often apparent in
streets Of dwellings, constructed upon a
quantity plan These houses were sub
stantially all six-room houses and most
of them single houses, built so that they
sold at that time for about $500 and
they were all sold to workingmen who
1esired to own their own home, 800 be-
my paid down and a small monthly in.
stalment being paid afterwards.
They were all furnished with a single
pipe hot air furnace and it takes one
ton OF coal per month for heating AND
