Home Builders
To Get TurnbulI
Estate i'm Bronx
Another Big Tract at
Throg's Neck Will Be Of
fered to Seekers of Home
Sites at Auction Nov. Z

Throg's Neck and eastern sections of
the Bronx have become the haven of
families who have found it difficult,
if not impossible, to pay the rents
prevailing for apartments in many sec
tions of the city. On lots bought at
various auction sales this year they
have built or are building homes. The
Coster, Bruce, Brown. Brinsmade es-
tates, held intact for many years until
recently, have been transformed into
home colonies, built chiefly with the
hands of those who have bought sites
from the estates.
fact, facing the above proper
ties, is soon to be offered to home
builders who missed the opportunities
offered at previous auction sales in
Throg's Neck. Joseph P. Day, who
found buyers for these other tracts,
has been commissioned to dispose of
the old Turnbull property, which COM
prizes all the land between the Coster
and Bruce Brown estates and Long
Island Sound. This sale, which will be
held on November 12, will provide sites
tor about 225 homes, figuring two lots
for each house.
Inc Iurnbull lots largely are high
land with gradual slope toward the
waterfront overlooking Long Island
Sound, Pelham Bay and the new Rice
Stadium and playAelds in Pelham Bay
Park.
at is another opportunity for the
man in modest circumstances who
wants to get away from high rents,
Mr.. Day said yesterday. ''Its possi-
bilitieS are clearly indicated bv the
four hundred families who have built
their homes in this section in the last
six months.
Il am almost certain concluded Mr..
Day, there will be q scramble for the
lots among such people, and that the
majority OF the buyers will have their
houses up or started before the spring
to obtain the benefit of the tax exemp-
tion''

5000 Cut i'm Cost
Of Small Sized
House Promised
Standardized Methods and
Specifications WorkedOut
by y. S. Housing Bureau
Will Bring Down Price

CHICAGO, Oct. ga cut of 5000 i,,
the construction costs of the avarae,e
small house and a reduction of 20 ner
cent IN practically all bills for plumb
ing equipment are possibilities in con-
nectlon with the work of the new diyi-
sion of building and housing estab-
llshed recently in the Department Of
Commerce, declared F. NJ. Feiker. spe-
cial assistant to Herbert Hoover. in a
speech before the National Editorial
Conference in session at the Congress
Hotel last week.
Mr.. Feiker said that the $500 house
construction saving depended largely
upon the national adoption of standard
lzed code regulations with regard to
fire walls. The reduction in plumbing
costs is also a matter Of standardiza-
ton. Mr.. Feiker said that according
to a special committee which is work
ing on the simplification of plumbing
specifications, the existing rules for
plumbing equipment in different cities
and towns are now as varied and as
unsvstematized as the autumn winds.
Standardization of these local regula-
tions along sound minds will make this
reduction possible, in the opinion of
the committee.
Mr.. Feiker also referred to the lack
of team work between and among the
various trades and industries which
comprise the American commercial
entry in the race forsthe worlds mar
kets. He said that while American
business men individually are probably
the most efficient in the world, they
do not seem to recognize and appre-
ciate the necessity for collective eff
fciency if they are to compete on
equal terms with the business men of
other countries who have already
learned the need and devised methods
for collective action.

There are positive conditions which
should not be overlooked nor passed
on with hurried judgment when it
comes to the installation of fixtures
in your home. This applies to all lines,
as well as plumbing, which of course
interests me more definitely than
others
There is strong tendency to-day to
be led into the error of allowing too
ordinary or common class of material
to be used, believing the cheaper lines
will answer the purpose and prove sat
isfactory.
The high costs of material and the
desire to reduce the cost of construc-
ton is responsible for this attitude.
1t is too true that a great deal of ma
terial is flooding the market, just good
enough, $50 long as it will hold water"
This is a common term and used too
often in the building line with a view
of obtaining unreasonably low prices
To be sure, nobody wants the COM
monplace goods; everybody wants the
best, and if one thoroughly understood
the comparison it is doubtful if the
user would sanction or tolerate the use
of seconds" or thirds" The best does
not always imply the highest price.
1t is really unnecessary to be ex-
travagant in selecting fixtures. II one
will engage the attention of an ex,
perienced salesman in any showroom
where a full line is represented q
selection may be made discriminat-
ingly and with care that should par
ticularly suit spaces and surroundings
for your property.
These could be Of the best quality
and design, yet Of correct sizes and
shapes, and by the elimination of cer-
tain features simplifying though not
sacrificing the practical working parts
the cost would be considerably re-
duced
Massive, ornate and heavy pieces of
exclusive pattern are seldom adapta-
BILE to the average home of one or
two bath rooms. While for the pala-
tal houses Of more extensive proper
tons the massive fixtures are appro-
pirate, it is all matter of the fitness
of things, while the price is governed
accordingly.
Crowding Is Bad
There are so many cases where own
ers have desired a perfect bathroom
and allotted the smallest room in the
house for the purpose, and then have
tried to crowd into it full size bath
tub, mice big lavatory," shower
bath, toilet, and all of the accessories
which if set would overlap and cramp

HISTORY OF PRISON
CHARGES BY GU|NAN

CONTINUED from Page One)

The said II. X. Carpenter has made
the declaration that he is running the
prison and that K. b. Henrichs, war
den thereof. for various reasons. does
not dare to discharge him. :"
Then follows a long list of specific
charges made by Guinan. In one
4place it is alleged:
Il hereby aver that during the
thirty days that AL Sheehan, a pris-
oner. was in the dungeon, he was
only allowed soup three times by Car
penter and was allowed to nearly
starye. :" Here are others:
THAT on the 4th of August, 1920, Car
penter chained Ted Ryan in the yard
for days. Thereafter because of his
personal hatred for Ryan, and for no
other reason, he had Ryan placed in
the dungeon where Ryan attempted
suicide - THAT on the Gath
day of September. 1919. j. Hays at
tempted suicide after being locked in
the dungeon for fighting"
Guinan charges that on or about the
goth of June, 1920. John Slower, in a
very serious physical condition, was
placed in the dungeon by Carpenter
because he had failed to perform GER
tain labors beyond his physical
mower. that Slower was ordered re-
leased by the captain following Gui-
mons protest; that the following day
DIR. Huffaker performed an operation
on Slower and removed large guam
tity of pus from the prisoners lung.
The Esser case comes in for some
attention, Guinan alleging that on
several occasions during the absence
of the warden and captain. Carpenter
permitted woman known to be a
! close friend of Esser's to be with the
prisoner all afternoon in the war
den's office, "affording an opportunity
for the said Esser and the said woman
to plan for the escape of Esser."
Guinan states that most escapes have
been made when Carpenter was In
charge of the prison.
Other charges were made, but not
generally printed, probably for the
reason that the accuser left Carson
City. However. the matter was re-

most accurately. Several persons con-
