Will Beauty Highways.

For the purpose Of beauitfying
North Carolina highways. so that the
territory through which the roads
pass may have a pleasing effect upon
motorists, a committee of engineers,
foresters. and landscape gardeners,
drawn from the various state depart
ments has been organized and will
work on plans to plant trees, shrub
berry, etc, and in other ways appeal
to the aesthetic sensibilities of the
motorist. according to statement is
sued here by Leslie r. Ames, assist
ant to Frank Page, chairman OF the
highway commission. Mr.. Ames is
the chairman OF the committee, which
will be known as the landscape com
mittee.
There is great public interest
in the beauty Of North Carolina high
ways" reads the statement in part.
They have become. as it were, the
formal entrance to the commonwealth.
Through the eyes OF the motorists we
are being judged. This comment has
everywhere stimulated an itnerest and
led to active work in the improve
ment of surroundings.
The highway commissions prob.
lem is not building roads. This is
simple, To create = sentiment of in
terest that will provide ample funds
for the upkeep of these roads is a
much more difficult problem.
The public interest in improving
the highways from the aesthetic side
is step in the desired direction. To
stimulate and foster this itnerest a
committee has been appointed to serve
the public without additional burden
to the taxpayers.
ut is impossible at this time to
devote the funds of the commission
to purely ornamental work. Their
problem is to give to North Carolina
the greatest mileage OF good roads at
the least cost possible. This means
rigid economy. Unsightly places have
been left for lack of funds to obliter-
ate them"
The statement declares that com
munities,' Individuals, and associa-
tions are manfesting and interest and
willingness to secure funds for the
EN- bellishment of roadsides and it is to
aid these groups, furnish exeprt ad-
vice. prepare plans, secure planting
material Of the proper kind at reason
able cost and to plant and care for
this material that the committee has
been selected"
Certain sections of the roads will be
taken into hand at once. according to
plans now being formulated, and will
be planted. The committee will des-
ignate the sections for experimental
purposes and endeavor to secure the
cooperation and aid Of the communi-
ties through which the roads pass IN
financing the project with view to
demonstrating the desirability OF
landsca ping the roadways. Accurate
cost figures will be kept and detailed
plans made in order that other COM
munities may be able to determine the
exact amount of money necessary for
the work.
Work which the committee will do
in various sections of the state will Of
course depend upon the aid received
from the various communities Be-
cause there is no appropriation for
any such purpose it will be necessary
to enlist the financial aid of the va
rious cities and towns If the work is

HERE is a straightforward plan that Utilities the
IIspace without waste and provides all desired
conveniences.
1t is a story and one-half type, combining a Co
iionial front with an English roof in a small formal
house.
The house is planned to be erected of wood
frame on masonry foundations, exterior finish wood
shingles, wood siding or stucco for the walls, a
single roof and wood frontispiece and t%rellis.
The house can be placed on a 40 to so foot lot
In width, depending on whether or not the porch
is built. If the gable end is placed towards the
street, 1t can be accommodated on a 80 foot lot in
width, with the stoop at the side.
A feature of the house is the f~exibility of the
porch, which can be omitted or placed to the rear Of
the living room, as desired.
There are five main rooms, with bathroom and
six closets. The living room runs from the front
to the rear, and the stairway is in the center Of
the house.
The house Is planned to face north of west, and
for other facings the plans should be reversed
There is a full basement under the main por-
ton of the house, containing laundry, heating and
fuel bins.

The kitchen will invite the housekeeper's inter-
est. 1t is step saving, light and contains all the

The fireplace in the living room not only is a

ment.
The cubic contents are approximately 17,5O0
cubic feet, and the cost to build this home, includ'
ing heating, plumbing, lighting, painting, ready to
live in, but not including wall decorations, should
range between $4,000 and $500. In certain locali'
ties where costs are high, the highest figure quoted
would be more than sufficient. The range of $1,000
is given to cover differences in the way the house
is built, how thoroughly it is equipped and com
pleted, and in what district it is erected.
