On Big Tract

Purchase of the large tract at
the northeast corner of Connecticut

tanning approximately $4,000 square
feet, with the purpose of erecting

ture deveiopment by dwellings,.

lined the work accomplished in which
he indicated that both unionists and
contractors who are refusing to abide
by the Lands rules of working con-
ditions as well as wage scales were
finding things difficult.
''As an indication OF what has been
accomplished so far by the citizens
committee nearly 1900 carpe nters are
working in accordance with the
award and in defiance of their union.
They are protected by 175s guards

Realtor Boards Champion Cause of American
Property Owner, Says National Head

in the public thought today.
Realtors very properly are taking
the lead in the many local cam
paigns to procure such laws. Sec.
retary Hoover recognised the i'm
portance OF the question when he
appointed a coming committee in
his department and he recognized
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards when he appointed
realtor as member of this com-
mittee. This committee has gone
exhaustively into TIE entire sub
ject of city zoning and plans to
prepare coming primer arranged
in short chapters suitable for pub
ilcat'on IN local papers, to pave
the way for community action.
Lack Of proper coming laws has
cost American cities millions of
dollars In property values and has
often cost the loss of health and
Of life itself. through congestion
and its incident evils. The un-
thinking, selhshness, or deliberate te
greed, of a few property owners
may cause the introduction Of
buildings in a given section, whose
character blights the entire dis

or business.

Predicts Decline
In Building Costs,
Values and Rents

Roger w. Babson, of the Babson
Statistical Organization, after an
investigation Of the real estate sit
uation. says that he expects a
further decline in the cost of build
ing during the next year or two, a
dekline in market value of improved
property with buildings and a radi-
cal decline in rents. He believes
that temporarily there may be a
rising tendency in building costs
this spring and summer, due to the
big demand for houses. Ultimately
there will be defiation.
He holds that this applies only
to improved real estate. The mar
ket for vacant building lots he
thinks will strengthen during this
readjustment period. Dwelling
house construction at this stage In
readtustment should be done by
the individual owner. or for quick
sale. Those who build for specula-
tion should aim for quick turn
over on property.

COSTS ON BUILDING
DROP WHEN WASTE
MATERIALS VANISH.
Left Overs Prove Mighty
Expensive Fuel for
Small Builder.

The easiest way to lower home
building costs and make your dollars
buy full value is to eliminate waste.
What is meant by waste?
You have observed homes nearing
and noted unusued lumber
lengths. studs. joists, flooring. bricks.
short ends strewn '.helter skelter"
around the house and lot These "left
overs" usually provide the home
owner with kindling wood for a num-
ber Of years to come. At $40 per
thousand feet this waste makes
mighty expensive fuel. Sometimes
this waste amounts to as mucn as ths
FIRST years interest on your home
building Investment. In nearly all
cases much Of this waste is unjusti-
ned. II the home Is yours. you pay
for It,
Don't Overload Your Home and
Another important source Of waste
is the unnecessary use of elaborate
finish and expensive equipment. par
ticularly in small homes. For ex-
ample. you can spend too much money
for your heating plant. You con
select type Of brick totally out OF
so far as expense Is con-
cerned. with the cost Of your home
You can build an extravagant, COM
plicated roof. you can overload your
home with unnecessary, meaningless
details such as monstrous brackets,
wide. projecting caves. heavy ,cornices
and "frilly" things which have the
appearance Of being filters, or stuck
on" in an attempt to secure archi-
tectural effects.
Much of this has little or no archi-
tectural merit, renders no service. de-
tracts from the beauty OF your home.
and certainly piles up your total
costs to unjustifed amounts. Details
of this character and special equip
ment frequently require special
knives and extra millwork. =,
Stock Materials Lessen Waste.
Extras" are things which many
home builders can do without and in
no way interfere with the beauty.
service or comfort of the home. II
is worth while to remember these
things and see that your home plans
are designs to eliminate waste.
What is a waste saving plan? II
is a plan that utilities every inch OF
available floor space to the best ad
vantage. II utilizes common stock
materials procurable from the average
material dealer. This does not mean
that your home will be commonplace
To the contrary. Common materials
assembled uncommonly we'll, give you

your total cost.
1t is worth while to call your at

paper as examples OF homes designed
to save waste. They have been de.
