PROPERTY
MANAGEMENT SEEN
Writer Predicts Improve
ment as Result of Cur.
rent Difficulties.

Financial catastrophe in many Amer
ican cities Is due to a false system Of
land valuation and means sharp real
estate competition in the near future
and more skillful property management
than ever before. according to Graham
Adds Of Chicago, who discusses Real
Estate and Taxes" in the February
issue Of Current History.
The real cause Of municipal bank
ruptcy, Mr.. Adds believes lies in the
fact that "the entire urban economic
structure, the whole system of land
utilization and land valuation as 1t has
developed since the turn Of the century
Is out of gear" AS evidence Of this
maladjustment, he cites over-optimistic
real estate developments, liberal
zoning regulations and consequent en-
barrassment by taxing authorities City
tax rolls, as a result. are full Of un-
collectible entries.
Mr.. Adds recalls the terrific" effect
which the skyscraper. whether Office
building. hotel. apartment house or
even garage, had upon the whole con-
ception Of land values. Consequently,
today there is an excess of Offices,
apartments and stores, situation
which will force competition"

window frames are painted deep blue
and the window sash and doors are
light turquoise. The door panels are
outlined in silver. Shower and window
curtains, hung from satin finished
chromium poles. are turquoise. All of
the linens are turquoise with deep blue
monograms.
The Guest Room.
In the guest room two compartments
have been made by means Of partitions
placed diagonally across the corners of
the room. Each compartment has been
fitted with a small window, and there
are mirror panel doors opening back
into the room. In one compartment
there is a pedestal lavatory and in the
other a modern toilet The fixtures are
light yellow, as is the woodwork. Walls
are covered with two-toned rose me-
dallions on a cream yellow ground.
matching that in the bed room proper.
Against the wall space between the
two compartments a shelf has been
built at window sill height. This serves
as a spacious and attractive dressing
table, with a standing mirror and pair
OF lamps placed directly before the
window A deep full flounce Of rose
and yellow plaid finished with plated
rose edging matches the window drap-
cries. This flounce conceals a radiator
and shelves built in at each end for
guest room linens.
The completed plans Of modern baths
and guest room facilities undoubtedly
go far toward bringing the house up to
date, and at the same time they make
i. a more pleasant and comfortable
place in which to live. Through proper
selection of fixtures the bath rooms be-
come an actual part Of the whole dec.
orative scheme of rejuvenation.

heights. Tubular lamps, attached by
means Of brackets at each side Of the
cabinet, assure uniform light at all
times.
A pleasant feature Of the room is
the goodly supply of recessed shelves.
Those flanking the medicine cabinet
hold decorative containers for lotions,
powders and other toilet perquisites.
The long. horizontally recessed shelf
conveniently placed beside the tub
holds soaps, bath salts, a glass cigarette
box and ash tray. A linen closet in
one corner of the room is fitted with
shelves to accommodate all the various
bath room linens.
Walls In Linoleum.
As for decorations, the walls are
finished with light gauge marbleized
linoleum in yellow and deep green.
Deep green inoleum with light yellow
diamond inserts covers the floor. Door
and window frames are painted the
same deep green and the doors and
window sash are light green. exactly
matching the plumbing fixtures.
Shower and window curtains are light
yellow and the linens are pale yellow
with two-toned green monograms The
insides Of all recessed shelves are
painted lustrous green to match the
fixtures.
In the other bath room the same
type of tub, toilet and lavatory have
been installed. but in this case they
are lapis-lazuli blue. All faucets and
other fittings are chromium plated
brass with a dull satin finish. The
lower walls are covered with lapis-
lazuli blue tiles and the upper walls

TIRST in importance in dealing
L with the upstairs rooms Is the
remodeling and decoration Of the
i bath rooms. Nothing dates q
house quite as definitely as do
the bath rooms, and real rejuvenation
can be most satisfactorily accomplished
through the installation Of new plumb
ing fixtures.
Present-day manufacturers, alert to
the demand for more attractive bath
rooms, are producing fixtures and f1t-
tings with noticeable harmony Of line
and color From the ubiquitous pure
white, colors range through the pastel
tints Of deep blues, reds, grays and
black. There Is suitable ensemble
for practically every possible scheme.
Add to these interesting modern
fixtures the many fascinating new wall
treatments, floor coverings and deco
rative accessories especially designed
for bath room use, and you begin to
see the possibilities Of decorative charm
which may be introduced into bath
rooms which were formerly looked upon
as merely utilitarian aids to comfort.
Replacing Old Fixtures.
There are two bath rooms in Mrs.
Smiths house. for example. Modern,
scientifically designed fixtures and fit
tings will replace the ugly old tubs,
clumsy looking wash basins and noisy,
oak-seated water closets. In addition
to new equipment for the existing bath
rooms, plans are being carried out to
install a pedestal lavatory and toilet
in the guest room.
In the masters bath. which adjoins
the main bed room, the tub, lavatory
and toilet are clear, lustrous green.
The ensemble is Of simple, modern lines,
as shown in today's illustration. All
fittings, including the shower, with its
volume regulator, and the octagonal
metal legs supporting the lavatory, are
of chromium plated brass.
Over the lavatory there Is a COM
modious medicine cabinet with a plate
glass mirror door. Three adjustable
glass shelves inside make possible the
accommodation OF bottles OF various
