Fads and fancies in house design,
as in most everything else, are but
short lived. Good design is a matter
Of taste and proportion and, rs a rule,
is akin to simplicity. Freak houses,
built just because they are odd, do not
represent the best in home building,
but rather otherwise.
The curious holds ones interest but
a short time, then it becomes loath-
some. This applies with double force
to home building; once up, building
stands for years, monument to good
taste or to bad.
What a community needs is well
designed, attractive homes, planned
along sane rational lines-economica
simple, neat and charming, n credit tn
the owner ond a credit TO the commu-
ity. a home that give one sense of
pride.

opened fifteen subdivisions in San

Mr.. Lyle probably is one of the best
known local real estate men. Prop
erty in the subdivisions opened by
Mr.. Lyle have doubled and even
quadrupled in value since it was
placed on the market. He is prepar-
ing to open a new acreage subdivision
which he says he believes will be one
of the best propositions of its kind
ever placed on the local market.
Streets are being macadamized, water
mains have been lain in front of every
acreage site and gas it right up to
the property. 1t is only two blocks
from the Hot Wells car line and ad-
joins Temple Hill just off South Presa
street. The new acreage subdivision
is said to be at least 200 feet higher
than Alamo Plaza. The opening date
probably will be announced next week
by Mr.. Lyle. One hundred men are
employed to prepare the subdivision
for market.
