New Homes For Old
Rv William A. Radford.
Editor, American Builder Magazine

Editor, American Builder Magazine
IN many Of the old fashioned
" homes We sec today, there are
towers and balconies; bay win
dows and cupolas, all of which do
not conform 10 the present-day idea
Of home architecture These ha les
are well-built, OF the best ST snGse-
rails, which at the time OF building
did not cost nearly as much as hey
would cost today. However, many
owners of these homes would like
to have them conform to modern
ideas OF attractive exteriors. By IL
tering the homes at a comparativc y
small cost and by decorating them,
both outside and in, they will have
homes that compare favorably with
those recently butt
What can be done with one of
these old type homes is shown in
the two illustrations. The smaller
shows what to our eyes is anything
but an attractive home, while the
larger Illustration shows the same
home after the rebuilding and paint
ing has been completed.
1t will be noted that the balcony
over the entrance porch has been
removed, the roof continued where
the tower over the bay window was
and the gable transformed into a
hip-roof projection at the rear. An
overhanging roof has been extended
from over the entrance to the corner
of the house and to the sun parlor
and sleeping porch that have been
added
By painting the house white and
applying dark green paint to roof.

shade to window trims and facings

inviting dwelling place. The addi-
tional color of ivory-yellow shades at

colors of the draperies just seem to
beckon one with smiles into what
must be real home inside.
The floor plans OF the old home
and the new one show the changes
in the interior arrangement. The
rooms are as they were, with the
exception of a door cut through from
the living room to the sun parior
and another door from the two cor
ner bedrooms into the sleeping porch.
Every room has been painted in
different shades of the same color.
though some walls have been given
a stippled finish and others q paneled
effect by the use of stencils and a
contrasting color of paint
1t is to the exterior of the home,
however, that the greatest changes
have been made, the principal fea-
lures being the changes in the roof
lines and the addition of the sun
parlor and sleeping porch and the
pleasing color scheme achieved by
the application of good paint

GoUe Tint to Water

Opposite Buckingham palace Is to
be found the Victoria memorial. This
beautiful piece of workmanship is
particularly remarkable for the clear,
delicate green of the water in its mar
BILE basins. The secret of its coloring
and translucency was revealed recent
ly when two workmen were observed
solemnly drawing large sack to and
fro through the water. They ex-
planned to an interested onlooker that
the sack was filled with a certain sub
stance which, while preventing the
growth Of weeds, gave the water its
delicate apple-green tint. = London

whether that body was going bach now to change the lines and if 01 what was its purpose?
 ! Mayor Wade explained to Judge Mink that Mir, Andrews that the i lines were wront and thereby prop |erty in the grand list to the extent l of Stb,0O0 or $l6.000 had been cut off from the district and as 1t was mo intention of the council at any lime 10 cut off any of the property, which should be taxed within Inc district, the mayor thought that fur ther consideration would do no harm and might do lots Of good. And so Itf meetings will appease the people. we'll have several" declared the mayor.
 Wait" said City Engineer Carl ton w. Buoll at this point, If We reverse our former decision, the other side will come in to protest" The city engineer was then asked as to his opinion on the correctness of the boundary definitions as offer cd by Mir Norton. He declared that he agreed with Mir Norton that Crown street was the dividing line and stoutly asserted that his lines have the boundary as such, although several of the council were Of the opinion that the line had been placed farther to the east.
 To Right Wrong
 Councilman Homer H. Judd said that the purpose of the council was to establish the lines as correctly as possible and if the council had been wrong, that body wanted to correct it's mistakes City Engineer Buell. then told of his efforts to locate the proper line.
 Councilman Wilbur II. Kelsey agreed with Mayor Wade, Council man Judd and the other members of the council, who seemed to favor re- consideration of the lnesF that if a mistake had been made, 1t was not too late to make q correction. He said that he knew that Mr. Norton was pretty well informed as to the old boundaries.
 May Decide Issue
 Any change in the boundary line .of the district may change the pres ent deadlock status in regard to fu- ture building operations of a school in the district, city officials declare as the placing of the boundary at Grown street will mean about four more votes for the new building fac- ton. Judge Mink intimated last night that the motive of Chairman Andrews in reyiving the matter was not the desire to add to the grand list but to accumulate more votes so that future school meetings may show different results than the past,
 Will Improve Streets
 Decision to advertise for bids for presentation at the meeting of May 19 for improvements to Atkins ave- nue and ConlOn street was made at the council meeting last night. Building lines were established in the Riley and Barnes tracts as no opposition was apparent to the re- quests, which had been presented through the Bristol Realty Co.
 Building lines for Laurel street will be considered at the meeting of the city board on June ?, according 10 vote taken last night,
