stand numerous evergreen and dogwood
trees, which add greatly to the appear
ance of the dwelling.
The house contains many unusual
features of home construction and
decoration and while it may be larger
than would suit the needs of the aver
age person. it contains many ideas of
home development which might be en-
ployed to advantage in homes much
smaller.
Furnished Throughout.
Finishing work on the home was
completed recently and during the past
week the place has been furnished
throughout in keeping with its appeal
ing Colonial style by the firm of Mayer
g. Co.
While the prevailing tone of the
house and its furnishing is conservative,
there is one room which is furnished in
art modern style as an Illustration of
the ultra-modern methods of home
decoration.
The exterior of the house reveals at
once its palatial proportions. All rooms
of the house are large. yet there is a
feeling of homelike atmosphere
The house. which is of brick con-
struction, the bricks in true Colonial
style revealing kiln burns here and
there, is situated well back from the
intersection of the two streets. leaving
a wide eXpanse of lawn at the front
and sides. There is a winding brick
walk, laid in herringbone style, lead
ing to the front entrance from the ex-
IRENE right side of the lot and the
driveway to the garage at the rear of
the building, and constituent part of
the house leads in from Chamberlin
avenue at the far right side of the
property.
The facades of the house, which run
to full three-story height and which
are capped at either side by two great
double Colonial chimneys, are featured
by a great two-story portico at the
front entrance. large solarium finish
ed at the right side and an oriel win
dow at the right. These are finished
in white, which lends interesting con-
trast to the dull red of the Colonial
brick Also adding to the color scheme
are old-fashioned Colonial blinds or
shutters hung on all windows on the
first two floors.
The front portico is crowned by a
circular balustrade in white and the
mottled gray slate roof is pierced by

ASSESSMENTS OPPOSED.
Use of Rental Figures Attacked by
Baltimore Attorney.

Baltimore Attorney.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.
BALI more, October 6.-The use of
rental figures in the downtown shop
ping district to determine assessments
on properties was attacked as "unsound
and unfair" by Attorney Randolph Bar
ton, jr, at hearing this week before
the Appeal Tax Court.
Mr.. Barton represented a number of
individual properties and the Fair Tax
Association, organized by the merchants
to fight the assessment increases which
they term as excessive and unwarrant-
ed. Mr.. Barton declared that most of
the leases we're made some years ago
when business prospects we're brighter,
and added that it was unfair to base
present-day valuations on such figures.
