Success OF
Spanish Houses
Difficulties Surrounding Use
of Stucco Overcome in
West Atlantic City
REsIsTs THE MOISTURE
BY BENJAMIN r. FOX.

bl bE1NJxAN1lAN ~. L VA
In the last decade small houses
architecture has been veering
somewhat strongly to the Medit-
erranean style, due primarily to
the impetus given this style in
California and Florida. There has
been mistaken idea among many
that the Spanish architecture was
limited to the states boastihg an
equitable temperature, but this is
a fallacy.
This belief was, no doubt, engen-
dered by the manner in which such
homes were constructed in the
states mentioned,
Due to the fact that the tempera-
ture varied but slightly. it has been
possible to erect structures of this
type by an application of some ma
terial to the structure which would
hold the stucco.
There existed no necessity for
walls which would protect from
sudden changes in temperature.
Those hardy souls pioneering in
the Mediterranean architecture in
the northern climates soon found
it necessary to make provision for
base for the stucco which would
prevent the penetration of heat,
cold or moisture. Some material
must be provided which would not
only serve as base from which
the stucco would not crack, peel,
scale or come off, but also should
serve as protective covering for
the structure itself.
These materials are now sue
cessfully used in all West Atlantic
City homes where the type of con
struction prevents the passage Of
moisture to the interior.

FOUR PRINCIPAL POINTS

Legal attack upon the ordinance
recently passed by the Atlantic
City Commission authorizing an
agreement with the Reading Rail-
road Company for building ST.
100000 terminal has been institut-
ed. The opposition. after waiting
quietly during the ten days after
passage and publication of the mes
sage has served notice through
counsel upon the Mayor and City
Commissioners of their intention
to apply for writ of certiorari.
The notice was dated april Is,
and was signed by Cole and Cole

who led organized opposition on
the Northside; and by william Ell
mer Brown, Jr., attorney for Her
man Satinover, Northside mer-
chant. The application Will be
made before Supreme Court JUS
tice Campbell at the opening of the
Cumberland County Supreme Court
in Bridgeton.
Four grounds are oiiered for the
court attack. 1t is stated that the
application is made on behalf of a
general taxpayer and owner of real
estate; on behalf of an owner oi
real estate whose property abuts
the street proposed to be vacated
and for an owner of property which
Immediately adjoins the property
of the Reading railroad.
The grounds for attack are as
follows: Lack of power in the
city to enact; granting special
privilege to the railroad company
without power or legal considera
ton; depriving prosecutors Of THEN
property without due process and
without condemnation; ordinance
is illegal and void.

prominently located show room
with large window space would
prove an attraction that could not
be overlooked by anyone. There
are far more people that see our
new models in the sales room as
they are driving by than could
ever get the same view from any
Atlantic avenue show room
Parking Advantages
We also thought that the
average motorist would prefer
stopping at that point to park his
car and enter the show room for
a closer inspection of the Stude-
baker models than he would in
Atlantic City with parking con-
ditions congested and parking
space at premium Another reason
for our locating at this spot was
that we felt that before long the
Boulevard in West Atlantic City
would be the center of all business
possibilities for the entire Allan
tic County. With the mainland
having built up as fast as it has, it
is easily conceived that West
Atlantic City could easily become
the hub OF Atlantic County
activities.
1.-THE Studebaker franchise gives
the Mathis Motor Company the
exclusive selling privileges in
Atlantic County, We therefore de
sired to place our sales room in
the best location to handle the
sales possibilities. We were also
prompted in choosing West Atlantic
City and the Pleasantville Boule-
ward by the fact that we had an
ideal in building this show room.
We desired to give Atlantic City a
beautiful and distinctive automo-
bile sales room copied from the
type that prevails in California
Had we placed such a type OF show

SUGGEST ALTERATIONS
FOR CONVENTION HALL
Mayor Ruffu Wants ProDi-
sions Made TO House Num-
cipaI and County Offices

Alteration of the convention
hall TO house the municipal offices
is favored by Mayor Anthony NJ.
Ruffu.
Under the Mayors plan the pres
ent City Hall at Tennessee and At
lantie avenues wonld be sold and
the proceeds used to reduce the in
debtedness caused BY the building
OF the convention hall. He express
sed the view that the convention
hall bond issue could be reduced at
least sl,5Oo.o00 in this manner.
He also suggested that provision
in the new building could be made
Tor county Offices. The necessary
changes could be made at little or
no additional expense.
Commissioner Headley also de-
clares that he is in favor Of the
suggestion of Mayor Ruffu.

Earl E. Jeffries estimated this
week that several million dollars
will flow into Atlantic City as a
result Of the mammoth Shrine GER
emonial in June. when the eere-
monial was held in Washington, .
he said, bank deposits over that
period showed gain of more than
S11.000,000. In Los Angeles in 1924
the increase for the period Of the
Shriners visit was s10.00e,O0o. A
good many millions were reported
in Philadelphia last year, and this
time Atlantic City will reap the
benefit Mr.. Jeffries, who is po
tentate Of Crescent Temple, esti
mated that from 100000 to 10000
viii be here for the Shriners' GER
emonial.

the Mystic Shrine during the con-
vocation of the Imperial Shrine in

man is also treasurer of the gen

at Atlantic City in May.
Hotel men freely predict that the
sixth National Spring Hotel expo
sition to be held on the Steel Pier
May 2 to Z, inclusive, will be big
ger and better than ever. The
space reservations already show
that the foremost supply houses Of
the country will stage more costly
and more elaborate exhibits than
ever before.
More than 5000 persons a day
inspected the exposition last year,
and hotel men claim that this at
tendance will be far eclipsed this
year. The exposition is being stag
ed jointly by the New Jersey State
Hotel Association, the Atlantic City
Hotel Mems Association and the
Avenue Hotel Association. The
committee in charge is laboring I'M
ceasingly to make the affair a big
success, and it has the unanimous
backing of the hotel interests.

room on Atlantic avenue. in Allan
tic City, it would have been
entirely incongruous to the rest of
the business houses. In West Attain
tic City it seems to be a natural
addition to the houses in that
locality The Boulevard on the
West Atlantic City tract has been
highly restricted and nearly every
house might be taken as a beauti-
full example of the modern build
ing period. 1t seems that our type
/ of building in the West Atlantic
City show room helps the surround
ing buildings in appearance and the
surrounding buildings in turn
finish out the picture that we have
attempted to create.
Boulevard Values Rising
In so far as land values are
concerned there is no question
that Boulevard property in a year
or SO viii bring higher values than
even the shrewdest investor would
have foreseen a year or SO ago. In
addition to that we feel that the
actual property itself will be at a
premium once the possibilities of
Boulevard show places have been
discovered by many of the
National Industries. By this we do
not mean that we feel the attempt
that we have made to commercial
ize the Boulevard but we do feel
that many a firm will select this
position to erect a national show
room or exposition building for
then. products.
The Mathis Motor Company is
/ just as bullish for West Atlantic
City as we are for Atlantic City
itself.

While Mayor Ruffu has signed
a contract between Atlantic City
and the Reading Railroad Com
pany cmbodying the conditions
under which the new $4,000,000
station is to be built on Arctic
avenue, l venture the opinion
that the Reading Railroad will
not dare to erect station at
Arctic avenue. IL it does, the
Reading will place the commut-
ters' business in the hands Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad,
which will readily take advan-
tage Of the opening left to build
new station near Albany Ave-
nue. Boulevard, which is nearer
the real center of the city, the
real source of commuters busi-
ness, and nearer the beach
sought by excursionists.

RUFFU FIGHTS
BOARDWALK CHANGE
Atlantic City Mayor
Against Suggestion To
Substitute Concrete


In the opinion of Mayor Ruffu
the substitution of concrete for pine
lumber in construction of the board
walk decking, as suggested by Wal
ter ]. Buzby, owner of the Hotel
Dennis, on his return from abroad,
would not be practical for Atlantic
City. He said he thought the eli
matte conditions here were SO diff
ferent from those of Nice. where
Mr.. Buzby saw concrete esplan-
ade. that the change would not be
advisable. The Mayor also said
the cost of maintenance would be
excessive.
1T would be inadvisable to Gre
ate conditions OF perilous charac-
ter for our patrons, he said. But
aside from that objection, there is
a very important point which At
lantic City should never lose sight
OF. Our boardwalk is known
throughout the world by its name,
Boardwalk, which suggests a struc-
ture built of wood. To substitute
some other material and change
the character of the walk would, in
my Judgment, be bad advertising

"Mr. Kenneth w Goldthwaite:
Dear Sir:
"As you will recall we opened
our Studebaker Sales room ON the
Boulevard at Toulon avenue. West
Atlantic City, last August At that
time many people questioned our
having built show room on such
an elaborate scale in that location.
However, we felt that we were
far-sighted enough to understand
the possibilities of display room
at that location,
Exceeded Expectations
1--WE are very glad to report at
this time that the results have far
exceeded our finest expectations,
both in the amount of publicity we
have received and in the actual
business that has been transacted
through. that office
"Our Pleasantville Sales room
was constructed on an investment
of approximately $4,000 and EN-
bodied the latest design and
features of a weil established
automobile sales room. The general
design of this building was plan
ned by the architects OF the
Studebaker Corporation of South
Bend, Indiana, and then slightly
enlarged by one of our prominent
local architects. The Spanish style
of architecture was followed
throughout the entire construction
so as to make il conform with the
prevailing type of buildings in
West Atlantic City.
Why West Atlantic City.
1--WE were encouraged and
prompted 10 put up TINS building
at this location in West Atlantic
City for several reasons. First. we
figured on the advertising pos
sibilities. We realized that the
Albany Avenue Boulevard was the
main artery of traffic for the
residents OF Atlantic County,
coming into and going out from
Atlantic City. Along this Boulevard
of West Atlantic City there is no
congestion of traffic and the
average motorist has a wonderful
opportunity to gaze around, admire
the passing buildings and to take
in whatever scenery meets his
eye. We therefore figured that a
