Select The Home
Site Carefully
Many Matters to Consider
When Choosing Site
Fer Future
WEST ATLANTIC
CITY ADVANTAGES


In considering a site for your
own home it is quite necessary
that your lot should be at least
forty feet wide, although some
types of homes can be built on
narrower lots. However, in the
majority Of cases a lot narrower
than this does not permit a proper
distance between buildings, and the
proper amount of light and air are
cut Off A reasonable space is also
necessary in order to prevent and
guard against the spread Of fire
from one building to another A
lot that is too narrow necessitates
a certain type of house-one that
is long and narrow, and this is not
usually the most attractive style.
On the other hand, a lot that is
too wide is often a source of troub-
lie, being difficult to care for and
keep in shape There is a greater
eXpanse of lawn to NOW, and a
longer stretch of sidewalk to build
and keep clean. The assessment for
street Improvements is also esti-
mated from the number of feet of
frontage
A lot should be selected that is
not too shallow for a few out
buildings, a clothesyard and a
small space for Vegetables and
flowers. The buyer of lot should
bear in mind the possibility OF
some day selling and should select
a lot that will appear attractive to
others. If there are no shade trees
on it, set some out at once, but do
not make the mistake of selecting
fast-growing trees that later turn
out to be a nuisance,
Be careful to select a lot on the
most favorable side of the street.
Notice whether the morning or aft
ernoon sun win shine into the
rooms where you desire it, or vice
versa VIII your front porch be
cool in summer afternoons? Will
your sleeping rooms have a good
sweep of air? One important fact
or is the restrictions in the neigh
borhood in which you wish TO
build. A restricted residential sec
ton such as West Atlantic City
should be chosen for a fine home,
for in such a place one can be as
sufed that factories and tenements
will not rise beside his home to
depreciate property values.

Woodwork

The Beautiful Interior Dis
tinguishes Fox Built West
Atlantic City Homes
BACKED BY
THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE

1t has been said that you cannot
make beautiful home with an
ugly house to start with, that all
the beautiful furniture and artis-
tically tinted walls viii not offset
the original house. The exterior
may be ornamented with porches
and additions, the floors may be
refinished, but the woodwork must
remain
This is no longer true. 1t is hard,
but not impossible. New doors and
trim change the entire aspect of
any house, a fact that's been realized
only in recent years. Originally
doors were made for utility alone,
as means for passing from one
room into another Modern doors
serve a twofold purpose for they
add much to the attractveness of
the room; without them no room
can be truly beautiful
With well-chosen doors and trim,
even the bare rooms become a
pleasing and satisfying picture.

Bratten Says
Its Hard Job
This Business of Getting Up
q Budget For a
City
EXPERIENCES
IN VENTNOR

One of the hardest jobs of the
city comptroller, according to
George H. Bratten, comptroller OF
Ventnor city is making out the
yearly budget with it's appropri-
ations covering the whole of the
city's business for the coming year.
Bratten has held this position in
Ventnor for two terms and is seek
ing reelection for the third time in
the spring primaries this year. So
far he is unopposed with the
unanimous support of all the city's
political organizations He is
member however Of only the First
Ward Republican club but takes an
active part in all civic affairs being
secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce and secretary of the Sink
ing Fund commission.
In speaking on the budget Mr..
Bratten stated that it is not only
the few weeks work that some
people think but that he begins
preparing it months in advance.
Some" said Bratten. say that the
comptroller has the help Of all the
councilmen and that his job is only
to write down the amounts that
they ask. This is not so, for the
truth is that the comptroller has
more trouble getting these men to-
gether than in planning the whole
budget"
"The way l have tried out is to
take each councilman separate. Get
all the accounts of his office TO,
gether and then dope out just what
money is needed to meet the
demands of his department. One
night is put aside for the discussion
and fixing up his individual account.
In this we also have to include the
money he win need for new
equipment or building, etc. That
is where the hard part comes in
for at the time the budget is made
the councilman has not complete
idea of just what new is going to
be added TO his department during
the next twelve months We have
to make appropriation for all as
we do not make habit of borrow
ing from another account The
surplus money at the end of the
year is put into one account So
far Yentnor has never exceeded
any appropriation and the city has
ratables far above its debt | do
not think there is a better financed
city in this part Of the country than
Ventnor"

Old Fashioned Homes Solid,
But Modern Styles Have
Appeal
ARCHITECTURAL
FRESHNESS
Exterior Becomes Increasing
ly Important in the West
Atlantic City Section-Ouf-
standing Examples Built by
Fox

'Sty1," is as important in
building as it is in a suit OF
clothes, according to John F. James.
a prominent New York City realtor
and president of Kings County
Real Estate Corporation. He de.
clares that the income-producing
ability Of a building is affected
more severely through lack Of
modernity in appearance than
through actual deterioration.
Many buildings that nave been
standing for ten years are almost
on a par with newer structures in
service, appointments and general
accommodations, but have their
renting troubles because they pre-
sent an exterior appearances of be-
ing old fashioned, . he states.
This situation is probably more
accentuated today than ever be-
fore as architectural designing has
made its greatest strides within
the last decade"
With the huge voIumn of stracs
lures entering the Mainland and
Atlantic City trade, the exterior
appearance of building is becom-
ing continually more important.
While modernity is the note in both
business and apartment buildings,
nevertheless home structures are
forging ahead in this area, especial
ly in West Atlantic City. There an
appeal is set up through fresh and
charming exteriors which are
great asset
A home may have been OF such
sturdy and thorough construction
as to last throughout the years for
a considerable period. And yet the
one may find within a comparative
ly few years that its architectural
design has become obsolete and In
like ratio the building has steadily
lost attractiveness.
One of the most outstanding
examples of modern architectural
designing is the city of West
Atlantic City. which is constantly
referred to as a standard of com-
parison for buildings in this
section.
