prospective owners who are anxious
to erect buildings which may be C.
ficiently operated. 1t is hard to
overcome mistakes which are perma-
nently built into the structures
The building planners mistakes last
throughout the lifetime of the build
, ing. That is the reason why we feel
there is a genuine need for accurate
planning.
1.-The building -pla ming service has
already effected savings in construc-
tion of one of Chicago's finest Office
buildings, in which the rental area
was also increased and the rentA-
bility of the space was. improved.
Construction saving amounted to
s25e,600, while the increase in rental
area will bring an added $1,000,000 in
rent at current rates during the next
80 years.
We are learning to build better so
our city development will be on a
greater and more efficient basis. Ia
the historic flight of the ZR-3 across
the Atlantic we have another hint as
to city development. Aerial transpor-
tation has been proved feasible. Soon
we will find a demand for more cen
trally located terminal facilities with
in our great cities. If the railroads
had their terminals as far from the
center of cities as flying fields are
| now located, much valuable time
| would be lost. In New York the
| railroads enter by way Of tunnels or
subway tracks. Over them the city
| fourishes. With the airplane, the
terminals will have to be placed
| above the cities.
I'm times when men can go from

can take their entertainment from the

would dare deny this possibility in

30 years has seen the introduction and

remarkable as has been the de-
velopment of cities in the past 80 or
40 years, we may expect greater de-
velopment In the future. Buildings

VIII have subway.
We have noted a shifting of the
population from rural to urban dis
tricts. This shifting is speeding the
day to greater development of the cities
One of the causes of the present trend
of populationsto the cities is, as sec
it, an increase in the efficiency of the
farmer. who, with his machinery, can
today do the work of 10 men in wrest-
ing food from the soil. The effect of
machine methods of agriculture is
Just beginning to be felt.
We have witnessed great horizon
tai expansion of cities. Now we are
going up. This is being made pos
sible through new developments of
elevators, which will make 60-story
buildings practical.
This increase in mechanical ef-
ficiency has also its counterpart in
physical efficiency, now made possible
through the building planning serv-
ice of the National Association of
Building Owners and Managers The
development of the skyscraper has
established building management on
firm professional basis. Men whose
daily tasks are devoted to operation
of Office buildings, obviously acquire
knowledge that no one outside of
the profession could hope to acquire.

A One-FlOOr Plan
Built of Wood
A Frame House Always Has
Friendly Atmosphere.

In spite of the fact that metal lath
and stucco houses are becoming in
creasingly popular for small and me-
dunn sized homes. there are many
people who will always prefer wood.
Whenever the wood cottage is spoken
OF a picture comes to mind of small
frame house, covered with vines, sit
ting in the midst of u garden. Wood
has friendly, unpretentious air
about tit takes kindly to almost
any color scheme and, IL properly
cared for, lasts for great many
years.
Although the whole design shown
today is suited to wooden eonstruc-
ton, il could be reproduced in con-
crete or brick and lose none of the
beauty of the design. However, in
the wood construction there is a
simple charm that seems most fitting.
The rooms of this house are all on
one floor. The window shown in the
second floor opens into a store room
The space under the roof is not large
enough for sleeping room. nor does
it offer sufficient ventilation. 1t is
intended for that essential \of all
homes-a good storage room.
This house was designed primarily
for woman who does her own house
work and who does not care to climb
stairs. The kitchen. therefore, is in
the most central position. 1t can be
reached from any part of the house
without having to cross through any
| other room or travel through a long
hall. This kitchen is complete i'll
every way and follows the usual ar
| ransement adopted by kitchen ex-
perts-that is, the sink beneath the
windows, so that the worker can have
full light ard also the pleasure of
glancing out at a beautiful garden
The range is on the inner wall and
| the icebox near the service porch.
The living room receives light from
three directions. 1t is, therefore, per-
fectly ventilated and will always be
cheerful. 1t is also supplied with
fireplace. We believe that even the.
smallest of houses should have an
open fire around which the family can
gather. The hall is large enough to
form a reception room. A back hall
opens from it in such way as to
form convenient artery of travel
from the bedrooms to the Kitchen
There are two bedrooms, with q
bath between and a sewing room con-
veniently located. A feature of the
owners room is the window seat and
two closets on either side. This room
also is assured perfect ventilation
1oT windows open TO the sun and
light from three directions The din
ing room is amply large for a house
of this size, and the windows are
placed in such way that furniture
can be arranged to the best advan-
taEe.
There is a chance for very inter
eStinE terrace or outdoor sitting room
at the back of the house, by having
the angle formed by the dining and
living rooms. This open space could
be rooted over. pergola like, and fur
nished with painted willow furniture.
ard thus, at little expense. a most
attractive room be gained
In these days of standa ardizinE of
materials an architect can, by TAX
ing thought, specialize such items as
windows, doors, sinks, etc, so that
the house can be built at much less
expense than if these had to be made
especially. There are no waste
spaces in this house nor useless walls,
so that altogether it can be built as

Real Estate Board.

Perhaps no branch of the real
estate business has had more scien-
tifc development in recent years
than that of appraisals. There are
more basic principles involved in ap-
Praisin" than in any other branch Of
real estate service. These principles
being fundamental in character are
applicable universally.
An appraisal is an opinion of value
based ON Il careful anal! sis of all
factors that enter into or effect
value. To be IL competent appraiser
one must have sound judgment. be
thoroughly familiar with local con-
ditiunS. trained and experienced in
real estate dealings and capable of
analyzing the important elements
that are presented in a study of
values. The appraisal that is based
ON Il study of the fullest amount OF
Information and data reflects the
most accurate estimate.
There are numerous factors that
effect value and an expert appraiser
must know where to obtain the full
est Information relative to these fac
tors and must also have the ability
tn analyze them in respect to the
particular property appraised. Among
The elements that are more commonly
studied by appraisers in determining =

provements. rental income and actual
sales. These and many other cle-
ments must he taken into considcra-
tion and while all of them do not
apply to every property, the expert
appraiser must know their relative
Importance and he able to scientifi-
cally weigh the advantages and dis
advantages in his effort to establish
value.
Factor of Rental Income.
In considering rental income as a
factor, it is necessary to know wheth-
rr or not the property is being util-
lied to its highest advantage. Prop
erty must be used for its most suit
able purpose in order to secure the
maximum rent. The existence of a
lease and its terms materially effect
value. 1t can be readily seen that a
property suffers a disadvantage in
respect to value when it is leased
Tor a long term of years at a lower
rent than that obtained for similar
properties in the same neighborhood.
The character of the occupancy and
Its probable permanency must be con-
sidered, as it frequently happens that
given occupancy is not suited to d
given property and therefore cannot
he considered permanent. Rental in
come is one of the most important
elements in determining value When
based on fair market return on the
capital invested, rentals are an index
10 value.
AppraiSing properties in sections
that are passing through a change
of character offers some interesting z
features for the appraiser. In the
development and growth of a city
the business section expands and
gradually embraces sections that were
formerly residential and sometimes
these residential properties are of the
expensive type. This. occurs in most
every city and it is worthy of note
that in most cities a rather high
grade residential section at one time
was located relatively near the CEN
tral business district, and as the bus
mess sections grew these residential
sections We're absorbed for business
purposes.

good building. Don't forget that bad
paint is worse than none at all, but
there is a stain on the market that
comes in many beautiful tones, and is
in certain measure fire resisting.
The lot upon which a design OF this
kind should be built ought to be at
least IS feet wide. but as the house
is only 81 feet deep the lot need not
be more than so feet in depth.
If one chooses TO turn the end
toward the street ana approach the
entrance along Il winding path. lot
could he chosen where the narrow
end faces the street Or this house
would be most fitting built on a cor
ner lot. The ideal setting would be a
lot with at least 100 feet frontage an
space enough in the back for splen-
did garden.
