goes to the Job and takes samples Of
all materials to be used. If samples
of cement, sand, gravel and other ma
terials are satisfactory, the contrac-
tor is advised Of the proper mix and
the maximum water allowed in max
ing the concrete. The contractor may
then proceed with the work.
Seven days after the concrete Is
placed, the inspector returns and cuts
cylinders from the finished concrete
to test thickness and crushing
strength. This is repeated at % days,
and three certified copies Of the test
reports. with comments, are then is
sued-the original to the Board OF
Public Works, the others each to the
contractor and property owner.
Obligation Of Owner.
The property owner is then obliged
to pay for exactly what the job Is
worth, with definite allowances de-
Quoted If the work is not in accord
ance with city specifications.
These deductions for violations run
as follows:
For deficiencies from 4 inch up to
1 inch there are graduated reductions
from per cent to Is per cent OF the
total cost of the job. For tested
crushing strengths from $500 pounds
down to 2,lOO pounds there are also
graduated reductions from S per cent
to 25 per cent.
With the possibility that SO per
cent of the total cost Of job may be
exacted in the form Of penalties, no
contractor will risk violation Of any
of the specifications. AS a conse-
quence no bids are offered below cost.
After one month of operation both
property owners and contractors in
Fort Wayne were satisfied that the
new penalty specification plan is the
best solution for a long. troublesome
and vexing problem. The results OF
this program have been elimination
of ruinous competition, better satisfied
customers, uniformly good quality
sidewalks and driveways and higher
regard for the building trades.
The plan is being carried out with
a fine spirit of cooperation, and even
former chiselers have been won over
to the proposition that the best in

when competition is free and above

NEW BATHTUB DESIGN GIVES

design introducing added factors Of

according to the Plumbing and Heat

This new plumbing fixture is really
four fixtures in one. 1t is a tub, a
shower bath, seat bath and child
bath.
This quadruple utility has been
made possible by radical departure
from the traditional design of the
bathtub. In the new fixture the tub

The vital purpose Of this design is
to provide two ample seats-one at

the use of the bather. The bather
may enter the tub by sitting on one
Of the seats and swinging the feet
over the rim into the tub
Slipping or falling while entering or
leaving the bath virtually is impossible
with the use of the neo-angle tub.
In all positions the water controls
for both tub and shower are within

A program with the two-fold pur-
pose of eliminating contractor chisel-
ing and insuring uniform quality Of
sidewalks and driveways throughout
the city is contained in the Fort
Wayne, Ind, plan for applying penalty
specifications to construction work on
such improvements.
This plan amounts to a fight against
the contract chiseler who freezes out
legitimate competition by Offering
below-cost bids and then makes up
for his profit loss by cutting down
specified thickness and weight and
substituting inferior materials and
careless workmanship for good con-
struction. As such, the plan Is in
keeping with President Roosevelt's ma
tional campaign against chiseling as
means of stabilizing prices.
So successful has this Fort Wayne
plan proven itself after less than a
proposed for adoption by cities and
towns all over the country where one
or more unscrupulous contractors have
ruined their competitors, grated on
property owners and glutted towns
with cracked and crumbling side
walks and driveways.
Penalty Specifications.
The plan for penalty specifications
for construction work on private prop
erty similar to that applied to street
paving and other public works was
instigated at a meeting last year be-
tween concrete contractors and the
Fort Wayne city engineer. At this
meeting specifications were drawn up
based on national standards for quality
concrete work To enforce these speci-
hcations the city paving chemist, w. H.
Droege, was placed in charge OF test
ing and inspecting all work.
Before any job can be undertaken
the contractor must take out permit
over the signature of himself and the
property owner. In this permit the
contractor agrees to conduct the work
"in accordance with standard Specifl-
cations for such work on file in the
office of the Board of Public Works.
and subject to the inspection and ap-
proval of the board. If permission Is
granted, he agrees to use all new ma
terials in the construction Of this
work"

ABUSES IN CLAIMS
Applications for Loans Re-
iected If Owners Mis-.
represent Facts.

In the consideration by the Home
Owners Loan Corporation of more
than 1,285,000 loan applications to
date, thousands Of cases have been
rejected where debtors were we'll able
to keep up their present contract pay
ments, or could refinance If necessary
through private sources, but made ap-
plication in the hope Of securing the
benefits Of long-term amortization
and the low interest rate provided
in Federal emergency financing, a
statement issued by the corporation
points out.
In many cases, deliberate default
in payment of interest or principal,
through which the home owners
sought to lead the creditors into ac-
ton that would create the appear
ance of impending foreclosure, have
come to the attention Of Offices of
the corporation. Mortgage holders
have even pressed their debtors for
the obvious purpose Of causing dis
tress and eventually obtaining cor
poration bonds in lieu Of their mort
cages. Instances of attempted collu-

the type of mortgages which the
corporation may reflnance.

present an appearance Of distress in
order to get a per cent long-term
mortgage. The applicant must have
been in involuntary default on June

that subsequent default was due to
lack of work or other conditions be-
yond his control.
