BUILDS 26 NEW
HOMES IN 1927

The building program of d. w.
Talmadge, builder and contractor,
646 Fairfield Ave-, for this year has
been the heaviest for several years.
A total of twenty-six houses has
been built by him during 1927, he
reported, ranging in prices from
$3.50 to $4,000.
Although Talmadge specializes
in stock type" of modern bunga-
low, which includes five rooms,
bath and breakfast room, he has
undertaken larger building projects.
He is completing six houses for
Shirley's Lake Park Addition on
Eighteenth St., and Shadeland Dr.,
complete in every detail
"The younger married couples are
demanding finer finishing or inter-
Tors than was the case only q few
years ago." said Talmadge.
I'VE find that house will hardly
sell on the market today which does
not have a breakfast room, SO we
have adopted in our stock plan a
breakfast room to fill this demand.
1t really adds another room to the
bungalow home, this breakfast room,
enabling the dining room to be
maintained as show room Of the
home"
Talmadge has a building plan

Plans viii Not Be Held Up
If City Will Act, Says
Elevation Engineer.

Track elevation plans will not be
held up by an inadequate tax levy
OF, cents if council will pass bond
issues to care for the city's part of
the expense, in the opinion of Track
Elevation Engineer M. Bebee.
Bebee had urged the maximum Of
s cents, which he declared was nee
essary.
II always have been somewhat in
doubt as to legality Of a bond issue
If the maximum levy is not provid-
ed" he said.
Failure of the council to pass a
bond issue to dredge and widen
White River between Morris and
Raymond Sts., temporarily is de-
laying the elevation work.
The Belt railroad elevation plans
extend from w. New York st. to
English Ave- The Belt appropri-
ated $6O0,0oO as it's part of the cost
last year. A like sum is to be raised
by city and county. All work is to
be on the south side, the Pennsyl-
vania project extending from Cruise
to State st. and the c., l. 81 w.
the same.
Otis Bartholomew, who intro
duced the amended budget ordi-
nance, said, ut is not our plan to
halt south side track elevation
plans. I live on the south side and
am interested in it, but some of it
can be cared for by bond issue"
The Chamber of Commerce had
recommended .04 levy, although
the controller asked a .03 rate. O.

EXPERTS SEEK
WAY TO AVERT
FIRE IN PLANES
Tests to Be Made in Effort
to Halt Burning of Craft
After Crashes.
BIZ United Press

LONDON, Sept. 7.-Spurred by
the large number of fatalities due to
fire following airplane crashes, not
only in England, but in the United
States and France as well, British
aeronautical experts have renewed
efforts to find method of fire pre-
vention after crashes.
One Of the difficulties Of the in
vestigaiion to date has been the fact
that, since the occupants of these
crashed airplanes almost invariably
lose their lives in the flames that
follow the crash, 1t has been almost
impossible to obtain any exact
knowledge as to the causes which
lead to the ignition of the gasoline
vapors set free by the crash.
To obtain such knowledge, plans
are on foot for a series of expert
ments in dropping airplanes o I
sheer cliffs several hundred feet In
height, which q battery of slow
motion picture cameras located at
the foot of the cliff to record the
exact details of what happens when
the airplane crashes.
BY careful examination OF series
CO such pictures it is haped to De
able to draw conlusions as to Just
what factors caused the ignition of
the gasoline. and what steps can
be taken to remedy the causes of
the explosion.

rests will be made with so-called
"cIasn-proof" tanks.
Patents have been taken out by
inventors of several types of these
tanks, but only one so far has sur

ministry, and all are so heavy as 20

plane constructors.
Interesting as these tests will be,
it is felt here that the ultimate solu-
ton of the fire prevention problem
is airplanes must be found in the
development Of engines which will
burn heavy oil fuels. and some pro-
greSs is being made in this direction

PROGRESS IN TEACHING
is STRESSED BY TIGERT

John ]. Tigert, United States COM
missioner of education, spoke at the
annual city teachers institute Tues
day afternoon on Educational
Strides"
There are, many signs of de-
sided educational progress, not the
least of which is the criticism
directed against the schools" Tigert
declared. This criticism is simply
an indication that in many ways
the schools of today are several
years in advance of the mass of pub
lis opinion"
Great changes in the method of
training teachers and in the general
requisites for teachers have come
about in the last few years, he said.

INSURANCE OF
TITLES VALUED

A contract of title insurance has
been defined as "a contract to in
demnify against loss through de-
fects in the title to real estate or
liens of membranes thereon
Another writer has said: little in
surance is an agreement whereby
the insurer for valuable consid-
GRAFTON agrees to indemnify the in
sured in a specified amount against
loss through defects of title to real
estate wherein the latter has an
interest either as purchaser or
otherwise
This contract, according to Hiram
E. Stonecipher Of the legal staff of
the Union Title Company, while
containing little of a speculative ma
ture, has in it enough of that ele-
ment to make it highly desirable for
those who deal in lands, and who
know little or nothing about the
complicated and intricate laws OF
real estate.
1t relieves the sense of anxiety as
to possible mistakes in the examina-
ton of the public records, gives Sc
curity against errors of judgment
on any legal questions, which may be
involved in the title, and covers the
forgery of instruments in the chain
of title.
1t is used by the public as a safe
guard and protection in dealing
with titles to land, and the expert
ence of the last twenty-five years
and the great development of the
business Of issuing such contracts,
have demonstrated thoroughly the
needs and benefits of title insur-
ance.
