Con.:der Human Element

If you invite q group Of contractors
to bid on your house and they all
submit proposals, based upon the
same plans and specifications. it is
customary to let the contract to the
lowest bidder. If, however, quite
number of contractors ask the priv.
lege of estimating OH your house, II
is not necessary to follow this custom
in fact, well-prepared set of speci.
fications includes the following
clause: 1.-THE owner reserves the right
to reject any and all bids" Contrac.
tors and builders understand that the
lowest bidder may rot be the one
elected to erect the home. 1t may be
worth while to let the work to the
highest bidder even though the cost is
somewhat increased. The human ele-
ment that enters into home building
is SO important that you should not
permit few dollars to stand in the
way of assuring your home being hon.
csCy built.-Chicago Daily News.

Home Ownership Stirs
Pride of Possession

"Home ownership vs.. rent is not an
argument" says bulletin Of the home
builders and subdividers division Of
the Cleveland Real Estate board. 1.-THE
money difference is not fair basis on
which to approach the subject or ia
arrive at decision. Possession brings
pride, and pride is the mother Of many
virtues-morals, thrift, discipline. self
respect and, in the end, freedom.
"A man or woman experiences
sense of freedom in the ownership Of
home that nothing else gives. And
freedom is the base and the structure
of progress.
"Home ownership correctly means
erecting home when some effort
some sacrifice-has been made to &C.
quire land on which to build and then
building on the land, the two repre-
senting value. To do this inspires
desire, and 1t is desire that builds first
the individual then the family, and
finally the nation"

Home Owners Make City

The growth of city is dependent,
to large extent upon the stability Of
its citizenship. In this respect Cleve-
lands future is assured because of its
high standing among other American
cities In the percentage of homes
owned by their occupants.
Home owning is factor of para
mount Importance In the civic, social
and commercial progress of city.
1t makes for more intelligent and
more substantial citizenry. 1t means
greater loyalty and therefore better
government. In the end 1t means more
prosperity and more contentment Of
the masses.-Jacob Halter, County

Towns Business Areas
Recognized as Problem

Recognized as Problem
The multiplicity Of stores, many OF
which are not needed and sooner or
later join the ranks of the business
failure whose demise is marked by the
ito let" sign, is one of the problems
with which. according to the civic de-
yelopment department of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States,
many cities are now struggling. 1t
arises as a phase of zoning.
.'In several Cities" says the chamber,
'zoning authorities are studying this
problem and coming to tentative con-
illusions as to how large proportion
of the street frontage in given area
should be allocated to business. The
problem is the same as that of the re-
tailers, wholesalers and manufacturers
who are concerned over ignorant com.
petition and business failures. But the
different angle from which 1t Is ap-
preached should provide valuable
means of checking results.
"In one large city of the Northwest,
for example, 1t Is believed that sub
business centers outside the downtown
area, should have not more than 2 per
cent of the street frontage of given
area. Studies made in the Los Angeles
metropolitan district indicate that re-
tail business will occupy only about s
per cent of an area, though from II to
IS per cent has been allocated to it by
the coming regulations.
"The basic question is. IF course,
how many families 1t takes to support
store. The answer, naturally, varies
with the kind of ore."-Today's Bust
