Several floors are Of stone although
for the most part the warmer effect
of old oak or ordinary hardwood hoor-
ing has been followed. Panellcd walls
are the feature Of an apartment on
the second floor. Marble shower baths
have been installed in several of these
homes and the Kitchens are a delight
from the feminine point Of view. They
all have windows and are completely
equipped with large gas ranges ice
boxes and kitchen cabinets. The ice
boxes have been made up from archi-
tect's specifications. All their fittings

Every Tenant Is an Owner
The architects who have brought this
novel aggregation of homes together
under one roof are Walker & Gillette.
and the Hegeman- Harris Company have
put them into physical form. The plan
Of Joint ownership as outlined by Fred
eric Culver, president Of the Joint
Ownership Construction Company. is
this:
corporation is formed in which the
title to the property is vested. The
:; ockholdcrs in the corporation are the
occupants of the building. This gives
each tneant owner an interest in toe
entire property and entities him to
ainety-tivc years lease on the apart
nent he selects. The lease. togther
With his stock, gives him virtual own
ership ol his apartment.
Every uOaltmpnt in the h,i jlGirc
sold No space is reserved 10 rent and
therefore. speculation in the renting Of
apartments and carrying vacant ones
iG eliminated. since the individual
c"ncr pays his pro rata share Of the
operating expenses Of the building.
The reduction Of apartment rents 20
what II would cost a landlord ia op-
crate the building. eliminating his
profits is what the Joint Ownership
Construction Company aims for. To
quote Mr.. Culver:
"All that YOU pa% is exactly what it
costs to run the building, and it is
logical fact that twenty-seven peo-
pie can operate ono building more
chcaply than thcy can operate twenty
seven separate dwellings,. Joint
ownership affords a home to pur-
chaser AT less than it can be main
IA alned in any other way. Our record
shows sixteen years OF unbrokcn sue
cNs7 and over s5o,ooooo0 worth Of
successful joint ownership buildings"

si ing to resell or sublct must submit

Legislature to discourage legal

DOCTOR ADMITS
GIVING GIRL DRUG
Testifies He Gave Miss LOgue Two In
iectiOns-FOund Her Dead
Next Morning

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June DIR.
Michael NJ Stevens Of Woburn, charged
with manslaughter because of the death
of Miss Grace Logue, his Office assistant,
whose body was found Christmas morn
ing on couch in the doctors office, testi-
fed today regarding his administration
of a drug to relieve her tOOthache. The
physician said he withstood for some
time her pleading for the second injection
of the drug when she was almost hyster-
ical with pain.
On the day before Christmas, he testi-
fed, she was suffering acutely from an
liberated tooth and about 1880 Christ
mas eve he gave her one-half grain and
later gave her one-fourth of a grain.
Miss Logue said she felt easier and he
said that after getting her a hot water
bottle he went to bed.
DR. Stevens testified further that he
slept until about o'clock Christmas
morning and after breakfast went to his
office to answer a telephone call and dis
covered Miss Logue dead.
