Suggestion for Tribune Readers Who Contemplate Buildn
What Do You Say,
Mr.. Home OiUner?

Our correspondent A. L. X. Is in
the throes Of uncertainty. There
are many in the same state Of
mind. Those who have answered
the question Of home ownership
satisfactorily could help greatly
those who arc contemplating fol-
lowing in their footsteps. By cx-
perience they arc in a position TO
say with authority what income
is necessary for a family TO have
before undertaking the purchase
of a house. They can prevent
the recurrence Of difficulties
which they overcame by pointing
them out to prospective home
buyers. We are depending on
our readers for the answer to A.
l.. KS question, would it be
advisable TO attempt the pur-
chase Of even a $4,000 house on
an income Of S2,5OO?"
New-York tribune., 1922-07-09

below for the same family, buying n
$500 house on the 81 ZOO income.
based on the law evolved by the As
sociation for the Promotion and Pro-
lection OF Savings, Of Boston-"that
the annual expense Of owning house
is about one-tenth OF the cost OF the
house. and for this reason. IT is unwise
TO purchase a home costing more than
twice the annual income"
For shelter, 1895 10 be paid annually.
This includes the interest 10 a build
ing and loan association tthe only
source from which an amount OF this
size could be borrowed under the cir
cumstances), taxes and water rent.
Food, the next essential, requires
approximately $500. In any budget
this should average one-fourth TO one
third Of the total income, depending
on changing market conditions, the To-
cality, size Of family, presence or ab-
sence Of garden and size Of income.
In this instance. with low income
and three persons TO be fed. the figure
rises to one-third or one-half 500 (Sl4

For clothing for three persons. with
a sum of $l25 for the father, the same
II Is understood in this case that the
mother make most Of her own clothes
and all OF the daughters.
Little Things Mount Up
The operating expenses. which cover
gas, coal and electricity bills. laundry,
small repairs, telephone, house-clcan-
ing supplies, garden tools. etc. are
estimated at 800. and the develop
ment allotment, which includes school
ing. health-doctor dentist. druggist
supplies, church, recreation, gifts,
magazines, newspapers. etc, is $3.50.
A saving Of $50 for the year Is
allowed with this budget. Savings
should be present in every budget, but
when buying a home the savings go
into the home, and any small amount
saved should be paid monthly when
the house payment is made. This Is
mere starter for another year when
the salary may be a little larger.
The budget is far from an ideal one,
for the stress of buying house. at
any price, on a salary OF Sl,fOO Is
heavy. II can be done, however. by
watching the scraps" attention TO
every detail and devotion TO the ac-
count books, kept by the day or week,
showing where every penny went
A great help is to decide how much
can be saved and work out the rest OF
the budget from that basis. The Bos-
ton association plan uses graphic
circle, as illustrated by the accom-
panying wheel, for a 81 700 income and
the purchase Of a $500 house.

answered by the Tribune Institute

Conditions Have
Pushed 2-Family
House TO the Front
One-Famliy Dwelling Has
Been Removed Beyond
Reach of Many on Price;
Tenant Needed TO Help

Much has been said and done in the
matter OF constructing "The House
/ Beautiful" The realization Of the de-
sire in this matter has usually found
expression in one-fsmily houses only.
Heretofore little has been actually
done to apply the principle Of beauty
to two-family dwellings. Changing
conditions bring new demands even to
the building industry, and to-day build
ers are confronted with the problem Of
satisfying a strong demand for really
attractive two-family houses.
At pre-war prices the man OF moder-
ate means could rent or buy a compar-
ativc beautiful one-family house. At
present prices he cannot afford 10 do
so, but he can afford 90 buy and carry
a two-famiy home with the help Of
the revenue derived from the rent paid
for the extra floor. But he requires
something better than the tvo-family
house Of few years ago.
To meet this demand has been the
aim OF the Nerdune Improvement Cor
poration, which Is erecting n number
OF two-family tapestry brick houses in
the Norwood Gardens section OF As
toria, and more than 81 10000 for the
development has been loaned By the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.
Much care has been taken in the draw
ing OF plans and construction Of these
houses, and six Of the houses have al
ready been sold, although just COM
pleted.
The paramount idea Of the architect,
Walter Hopkins, Of Warren & Wet
more, has been 10 completely do away
with the conventional construction OF
the city house and to give each house
in Norwood Gardens the atmosphere OF
an individual home. The houses are
situated on terraces enclose by Cali
fornia priyet hedges and separated
from each other by eyergreens and
shrubs. Every advantage has been
taken Of opportunity for landscaping,
not possible in front Of city houses
as usually esigned. Twenty-Five kinds
Of evergreens. many Of them ten 10
twelve feet high, and morethan thirty
kinds OF towering shrubs provides
varietyof foliage.
The houses are set back twenty-five
feet from the street, giving clear
space OF 10 feet between the house
onthe opposite side. As fifty feet Of
this 10 feet has been beautifully land
scaped, park-like effect has been
created that virtually brings the at
mosphere Of the country into the city.
The interior plans, by Paul Lubroth,
10 bring into the house the fresh air,
sunshine and easy housekeeping fea-
lures OF home in the country. Each
house contains a garage for two cars.
Plans for the erection OF a COM
munity hall are already under way,
The new Parish Of the Precious Blood
has recently purchased site at a
cost OF Sl25,60O, on which will be
erected a church edihce at an ad-
ditional cost OF S250,000.

Purchase of $500
Dwelling Too Much
For $l,7OO Year Man
With Wife and 2 Children
to Care for Such Venture
Would Be Enslaving and
Perhaps Unsuccessful

The Tribune Institute has received n
number Of letters asking for help in
budgeting annual incomes TO meet va
rious living conditions and require
ments. The following letter and the
budget plan worked out in answer TO
It will be Of interest to any one con-
sidering the purchase Of a home. es-
peeially II the double problem of low
salary and high-priced houses con-
fronts him:
Dear Institute: Having been helped
by the Institute in other household
problems. we would like some advice
on the following: Our income is
Sl,700 year. for a man, his wife and
seven-year-old daughter. Can
home be bought and carried along on
this amount?
The lot is paid for. we have $500
cash TO pay down, and the cost OF the
house we are considering is $4,000.
will you advise us in this matter
and plan a budget showing us how
such expenditures should be made7
CONFIDENTIAL.
In answer TO the above query. the
first advice to be given is, Don't try
to buy house Of this pricel" On an
income Of this size, house priced at
$4,000 to $1,000 is more within reason
and more likely TO be carried through
to a safe and sane finish some ten
years hence, when you finally say with
pride that the house is your own.
Task IL Too Much
In budgeting a S1,70O income for
three and buying such a house, the
payments per year for shelter, includ-
ing taxes, insurance and water rent,
would average approximately $500.
This would leave an almost impossible
figure for the other living essentials
food. clothing, operating and develop
ment. The food figure is never flexible
and on a small income is proportion
ately large-it automatically lessons
the other working figures.
Three persons cannot be fed for less
than sl4 week, even with care in
marketing and preparation, unless
there is a large vegetable garden on
which 10 depend. The food expendi-
ture automatically takes in this case,
500 n year, and, with the necessary
$500 for the house payment, 81 ,260 is
already spent. Only S440 remains for
clothing for three. laundry, electric,
gas and coal bills, educating the child,
books, magazines, etc.-a figure so low
that il is advisable to consider buying
lower priced home. More comforts
for the family during the years when
the home is being purchased will be
possible and surer sense Of not car
rying an enslaving load.
Cost to Own House
II increased salary in the years 70
come makes a more expensive home
possible, add to il in improvements or
sell and purchase another.
