Would Get Advantages
If the town is annexed 1t would
have the advantage OF the free H.
brary system and free kindergarten,
paid for out Of the school fund. The
schools would also become part of
the indianapolis school system,
which is Independent of the State
superintendent of public instruction,
licensing it's own teachers.
OF course, city police and fire pro-
lection would be extended the new
addition. Likewise the park board
would have to provide recreation
centers. parks and Fairgrounds.
The sewer system would be hooked
onto that of the city eventually.
Beech Groves addition to Indian
apolis Would be no additional burden
on the city, or occasion for a tax
rate increase, as 1t Is weather. than

streets paved and improved.
The street car-bus line fight would
not be affected by either annexation
or staying out, as the State public
service commission has the say-so.
In case the city council should an
mex the town, a remonstrance signed
by three-fourths the taxpayers and
filed In Circuit Court within ten days
of such action nullifies the annexa-
ton.

through from the front to the back,
which is like the old New England
houses, with the living room and din
ing room opening out from it. This
arrangement gives a chance for a
very large living room, with fireplace,
many windows, a sunroom (the en-
trance of which can be enlarged, If
desired) and a glass door leading into
the terrace. On the right of the hall
is the dining room and kitchen. At
the back of the main hall is a little
entry which can be done away with,
or inclosed with doors of glass so
that an unobstructed view of the gar
den can be had the moment one steps
into the house.
From the rear of this hall is door
leading into the kitchen and a large
closet where coats may be kept. To
get a symmetrical arrangement of
chimneys, the range was put in the
corner of the kitchen, so that its
chimney balances with that of the
fireplace. The sink is beneath the
window, and the set of shelves extends
from the end of the sink TO the end
of the room, making one long work
ing shelf, with dresser for dishes
above it, There is a large storage
room in which the iceboN is kept. and

A Colonial Design
for Town or
Country.
More Suitable for the North
and East Than the West
and South.

There are many people In the
United States who prefer to keep the
spirit of old New England, so far as
their architecture is concerned rather
than to build In some modern way
To their minds an old colonial house,
simple In line and with a. silhouette
endeared through tradition and his
torical association, is more suitable
for American houses than the bun
galow, primarily designed to meet the
exigencies of India's climate A CO.
lonial house does not rest as artisti-
cally upon the California hills as do
the houses which took their inspira-
tion from the old Spanish builders. or
that have the wide. overhang or porch
of typical bungalow: but a colonial
house is without question suitable for
almost any situation In New England
or the East
While there is a strong suggestion
of the colonial about this design, 1t is
far too simple to be classified under
any heading of style. The whole Idea
in designing such a house IS to help
make real homes for the great home
less American public. If our people
are going to get out into the coun-
try. as we are always advising them
to do, we must make country and
e,
practical and livable as city apart
mentS
There is hint of New England in
this house, with its symmetrical plac-
ing of windows and small doorway,
rectangular silhouette and long. slop-
ing roof, but there are things about
IL that New England never dreamed
OF In those days when she was de-
signing original homes.
The whole house is planned so con-
veniently and practically that wom-
an can do her own work IL she
wishes. If she has a maid 1t is a
home in which any servant would
like to work. One of the innovations
in this design is terrace at the back
of the house. The sunroom is also at
the back of the house. and from both
of these delightfully."- placed details a
view of the garden can be had.
The floor plans of this house are
worth studying carefully. for in them
you will find all the real comforts
which used to be called luxuries, but
which American people are beginning
TO demand as necessities. For in
stance, the good sized living room,
with a wide fireplace; the kitchen, ar
ranged conveniently for the dining
room, with every step considered,
and each room planned to get the
utmost space and comfort out of it.
The hall in the house runs directly

1t is important to bear IN mind
that in buying or building a house a
family is taking q step which will, In
most cases, confine the general fam
fly activity to that spot for a num-
Der of years. The head of a family
should remember that In that home
his wife Will do most of her work
and the family will spend most OF It's
leisure time. On these and other ac-
counts It is well to take the utmost
care in selecting the site. "How to

between a small lot in a more con
Yenient and accessible location,
where land values are higher, or a
larger lot farther away from the center.
where land is not SO expensive.
Often this problem is bound up close
ly with that of a single detached
house, as compared with q double
house, or house in a row. A site
with yard, particularly If there are
children in the family, is highly de-
sirable.
Living near friends or relatives
should not be given too much weight
in selecting the home. However, the
general character OF the neighbor-
hood Is important. particularly for
a family with children.
The answer to the question, how
much should be paid for the lot, de-
pends In large measure on whether
it is improved" If all improve
ments are made, such as gas, side
walks, sewerage and so on, the lot
may cost as much as 20 per cent OF
the whole outlay planned for the
home. Rarely should IT exceed 25
per cent of the entire purchase price
The less expensive the lot, the more
money IS left for the house itself
While house more expensive than
It's neighbors might be hard to sell.
a cheap house on an expensive lot
adds nothing to the sale value of
the land.
Advantage in Ready-BuiIt House.
Buying a house which is already
built has the advantage of showing
all of the points of the prospective
home to the homeseeker, which might
not be readily visuaIized from the
plans and blueprints Of a house to
be built. Even when buying a com
pleted house, it is well worth the
comparatively small fee to consult
disinterested architect. His guidance
will prove valuable
The plan of the home must receive
careful consideration. Not all houses
are designed for the convenience of
the occupants. There are houses. for
instance, where another room. other
