One of the sixroom houses which Mr. has plans fo

We owe something ito the next generation and those that come af- ter. The architect and the builder owe it to them to build homes that have some artistic merit and that shall embody the best knowledge of home construction and conveniences available today. l am talking now of small homes and by that I mean homes of six roomS.'
 w. H. Ham, general manager of the Bridgeport Housing Company, was the speaker. A member of the Times staff had dropped into MT. Hams office in the First Bridgeport Nation al Bank building ito ask him about his scheme for making the best ar chitectural ability in the country available to Bridgeporters who want to build small homes.
 One wall of the office was covered with pictures of attractive homes which have been built in various parts of the country. The long ta- ble was heaped high with blue prints, and MT. Ham pointing out and ex- pIaining their good points, radiated schemes, housing information, and enthusiasm from every pore, and by the way, if Bridgeport does not speedily become a city W~sr4th looking at with more fine homes of the six room class than any other town of it's size in the country it will not be MT. Hams fault

to-do Canadian villages in the Prov idence of Quebec. Here both MT. Ham and the architect who adapted the scheme to American needs and uses, got their inspiration for it.
 It is a simple, well arranged house. suitable to New England with a small partially covered front porch built low to the ground which is intended to be paved with brick or cement, and has a built-in sun porch at the rear of the living room. On the first floor is a living room, dining room, and kitchen and on the second floor three chambers and a bath. Two bay windows, one in the dining room aud one in the living room, not only add to the attractiveness of the rooms but help to give the house an air of distinction as well.
 Not only does the plan indicate an open fire in the living room in addd- ton to the hot air system of heat ing the house, but there are many unique ways of saving and utilizing space, enabling every inch to be used to the greatest advantage.
 The scheme calls for a garden at the rear of the house and in this con nection MT. Ham says: "The Frenchman was very careful of his garden and many beautiful examples can be found all over France of won derful gardens at the rear Of the houses Many architects believe that the piazza belongs on the back of the house. If all of the houses were built this way we would have very different back yards for we would not be Will

 Appropriations

Midnight oil will be burned by mem bers of the legislative committee on appropriations in order to complete it's work on time. The regular ses- sion adjourns June 8, and the com mittee must complete it's state budget and allow time for consideration and discussion before adjournment
 Indications point to a sharp fight on the bill, favorably reported by the committee on roads, bridges and rivers, for the abolition of toll charges on all Connecticut bridges after Sep tember, 1922. The toll charges amount to nearly $3o0.000 for the two years for which the budget is prepared and there is a. strong feeling that such source of revenue should not be elim- mated at a time when the Legislature is seeking new sources of revenue to meet the greatly increased expendi- lures of the State

 room house seldom employs an ar
 chitect of any kind, let alone one or
 large experience or ability. Tn @i-
 most every cas> the house which ne
 builds is like the one his bulloer punt
 last.
 'Some weeks ago I set about try
 ing to remedy this condition m so ldI
 as should be able to. I knew thaL during the war almost every import
 ant architect in the country gave
 great deal of thought to the deslsn- ing of small houses of the sN-rooIn type and must have a lot of valuable knowledg ge and plans which were do-
 ing no one any good. With this Tn mind I wrote a large nu1noer o1 them letters which in substance, were nlans for a one best six-room house in their possession which were lay!ng idle: called their attention to the fact that they owed 1t to the country
 and future generations to make Hnese plans and their knowledge available, outlined my plan for doing so and in vited their cooperation
 s"Thev have shown an immediate
 and generous interest and these
 said MT. Ham, pointing to the DIG on the table, 'tare the results whach are beginning to come in-"
 Many of the names on the draw | ings were of men and firms known l the country over. as we'll as those or local architects. and the pictures showed a class of houses seldom thought of in connection with the small home.
 In a nutshell, MT Hams scheme | is this: He has secured a. large as | sortment of plans for small homes which have come from the hands of some of the best architects in the country; practical plans which in
 many cases have been built from, and defects in design discovered and corrected They are on exhibition in
 MT. Hams office and any one wishing to build from them can do so by
 paying the architect $50 for the use | of the plan selected.
 | Through the courtesy of MT. Ham, | The Times is able to print a picture | of one of these designs for a six
 room cottage together with the floor l plans.
 When thing lasts for centuries,
 is repeated over and over, and trav- els far, there must be some intrinsic
 value in it, some artistic quality to account for 1t. That is probably the
 reason why the general scheme of
