New-York tribune., 1921-05-29

There may be sense, along with ssr-
casm and satire, in q letter to the Edi-
tor Of The Tribune received some days
sgo, and signed by John Henry Smith.
Slightly curtailed, the letter reads as
follows:
"'Own your own home!' 1t is on every
sign, every car, every tree, almost every
lip. Millions are spent to advertise it,
magazines are filled with expensive ads
telling you just the right kind of paint
to use, the best heater and what
shingles cost less and the only bath to
buy. Real estate dealers sit on your
front stoop all night, waiting for a
chance to catch you in a weak moment
and sell you lot. After reading tons
of literature and covering miles of ter
rjtory, insulting old friends who offered
contrary advice and wearing out ex-
pensive shoes. decided to own my own
home. That was as far as | got
bought two desirable lots and rushed
joyously to building and loan associ-
stion. | figured a house like the plans
| had could be built i'll month, by
myself for $1,000, and l could be out in
the country for the summer. | would
agree to pay it back at the rate of $50
a month. 1t would take two years and
| was willing to pay high rate of in
terest. I had all my plans, my speciti-
cations, my enthusiasm, my youth, my
job and my lots-in fact, had every
thing but money. But + was to find out
in the bitter end that if I wanted to
build house l would have to put up
she money myself, as none was to be
had. It seems to me instead of telling
people what TO buy and how to build,
and where, il would be more to the
point to lend them the money. 1t would
seem in this great city of wealth and
enterprise, there would be some way for
4 poor person to own his own home. but
| failed to find it. In the meantime,
dandelons are growing on my lots and
| glow angry when | read all the mis-
leading signs"

John Henry Smith. since no address is
given, but as his statements may like
~ express the view of a good many peo-
pie who can't write so well, an answer
to them was solicited from Charles
O'Connor Hennessy, an undoubted au-
thority on the financing of homeseek-
ers. Mr.. Hennessy is president of the

and Savings, of this city. He says:

In planning this house ! assumed
that it wss to cover site with fine
view Of distant hills and woodland to
the rear. AS the most enhancing view
is in a direction other than the road
or street front, have placed the prin-
cipsl rooms facing in this direction.
The arrangement of the entire house is
dependent on this plan.
The kitchen wing, with it's low
broken-up roof effect, is one of the
picturesque features Of the whole ex-
terror composition. There is q piling
up of masses froW the corner that is
impressive. and effective. In connection
with all the other houses Of this series
ornament is kept to minimum and ap-
pears only to decorate some necessary
structural motive. Proportions of fats
and openings give the house its arch
itectural individuality.
Living Room Below Level
The entrance doorway. indicated by
a simple hood and fanking lanterns,
leads to the entrance hall disclosing
through handsome colonnsde the en-
tire living room at lower level. The
main stairway is decorative feature
and the convenient closet for coats is
at hand.
Two steps descend to the general
first floor level. The dining room with
windows al each end is unusual. The
living and dining rooms enjoy practi-
cal tireplaces.
The service end is very well studied

Governor of the Virgin Islands, This is
his first visit to ST, Croix and his first
meeting with the Colonial Council of this
Island. | am sure that | express the
sentiments Of all the Members, when |
say that we are happy to have him with
us. and that we regret that His Excel
l%ency's first visit to our islands has not
been under better and more promising
conditions than at present exists. We
are still suffering from the effects of a
prolonged drought, and rea ing a small
crop with very low prices. The general

very promising. His Excellency IN pri-
vate conversation has informed me that
he hopes to be with US for a few days,
let us hope that during that time, in
spite of the not too favourable outlook
and general conditions now prevailing,
that in his goings to and fro throughout
the island, he will take away with him
when he leaves, such pleasant and con
genial membranes OF his visit, that
he will desire to come back soon, and
often, to be among us.
Governor Kittelle, on behalf Of the
members of this Council, and OF the IN
habitants of this Island, whom they re-
present, | have the pleasure and the
honour to extend to you a hearty well
come, and to express the hope thaS your
administration of the Government OF
these Islands will be successful, and for
the welfare and prosperity of its lnhabl-
tants.
His Excellency Governor Sumner E.
w. Kittelle remarked: Honorable Mem
bers before reading my message to you l
wish to express the deep regret feel
that there is a vacant chair In the Coun
Gil Chamber, due to the death OF Mr..
Svend Jorgensen; for | feel that the is
land and the Council have lost one who
WOQlQ nave D66n all dUIe COuloCllOA' ad0
one whose absence | shall directly miss.
Il is also regrettable to find that your
Chairman is indisposed, and it is my
hope that he will, very shortly and
quickly, regain his health that he may
be restored to his uties.
Preferably | should speak to you ex-
temporaneously, but whenever | speak
hopethere may be no misunderstanding
| wish it to be clearly understood and
without doubt, so ! am going to reduce
nv message to- writing in every case; 1t
is the better way, and because the ex-
ample has been set to me by our splen-
did President of the United States.
When ] shall have been with you long l
shall feel more competent to come before
YOU with something that is worth hearing.
At the present | have very little to say
and with your permission | will read 1t.
His Excellency then read his message
