The installation of modern water
heating equipment Is being encour-
aged in communities where better
housing campaigns are progressing
under the sponsorship of the Federal
Housing Administration.
There are few, if any, improve
ments which will add so much to the
convenience and comfort Of living as
the installation of equipment that
will produce an abundance of hot
water whenever and wherever 1t is
required.
Modern gas water heaters are far
superior in performance, economy, ap-
pearance, flexibility. and safety fea-
| lures to water heaters installed only
few years ago, according to the
Plumbing and Heating Industries
| Bureau.
Many Economy Features.
They will heat more water in less
time with a smaller consumption OF
fuel. These economy features are due
to improvements in combustion, in in
sulation and in the design OF the
heater.
The better types of automatic heat
ers have heat def1ector which breaks
up burned gases as they pass through
the f1ue, thus transferring all avail
able heat into the water.
Heat seal insulation forms COM
plete covering Of thousands OF tiny
dead air spaces around the sides, the
TOP, and the combustion chamber OF
the heater. The outer surface Of the
insulation is covered with galvanized
sheet steel, in the case Of the better
heaters. The steel jacket Is finished
with a beautiful and lasting lacquer
which is easily cleaned with a damp
cloth.
Burners require no adjustment and
cannot backfire. A safety gas control
shuts of the gas supply for the main
burner If the pilot light is extin-
guished.
Operation Flexible.
Some water heaters are so flexible
In their operation that they may be
used as fully automatic heater, as
q semi-automatic heater and as q
manually operated heater.
AS fully automatic heater, the
unit will maintain water at any de-
sired temperature for all needs. No
attention whatever is required.
When operated as semi-automatic
heater, the pilot is permitted to burn
constantly, but the main burner is
turned on only as hot water is de-
sired. If forgotten, the thermostat

REALTY STANDARD
PUBLISHED IN FULL

The standard classification Of &C
counts recommended for all managers
Of real property by the Institute Of
Real Estate Management of the Ma
tional Association Of Real Estate
Boards is published in full in the
current issue of the Institutes quar-
terly, The Journal Of Real Estate
Management" just off the press.
The standard system is decimal
system. That is to say, it uses the
same principle as that on which most
modern Libraries, for example, are
catalogued. and gives key number
to each of eight major items on the
property managers books, just as a
library might to eight sections OF
shelves.
Employment Of the standard clas-
Sification system by realtors general
ly in keeping records of income and
outgo for buildings under their charge
will mean the gradual creation of a

rate and detailed, upon which may be

DIP IN BUILDING
CONTRACTS SHOWN
SIS, ,083, 500 in 81 Eastern
States, Against $9s,773,
900, Is February Figure.

February showed the expected sea-
sonal dip in construction contracts
when compared with the reported
volume for January. The total re-
ported by F. w. Dodge Corp. was
s75,083,5 500 for the 81 Eastern States,
as against 500, ,773, 300 in January, o
decline of about IS per cent. The
contract volume for February, 1894,
totaling $96,716,3 800, was only about
half as great as the January. 1884,
volume.
For the initial two months Of 1885,
construction awards Of all descrtp-
tions in the area east Of the Rocky
Mountains totaled $174,857.400, in
contrast with $283, 180 900 for the cor
responding two months of 1884. A
year ago contract letting under the
P. w. A. program was in full swing;
currently this influence has largely
spent itself
Contract losses in February, as con-
trasted with totals for the previous
month, were shown as follows: AL
most $l2,000,000 in public works, al
most $6,000,000 in residential build
ing; about $4,000, 900 in public utili-
ties and 100000 in non-residential
building types. The sl6,6l6, 800 total
recorded for residential contracts,
however, was about IA per cent larger
than the total Of $l4,520, 800 reported
for this class of construction in Feb
ruary, 1884. Non-residential building
awards in February likewise we're
higher than in February Of last year,
but in this instance the gain over
a year ago was only about 5h per
cent. Large losses we're reported from
last year in the February awards for
public works and public utilities.
In the 10 months that have elapsed
since July, 1888, when the effects of
the P. w. A. program were beginning
to be felt in the contract records, pub
licly -owned construction jobs under
taken in the States east of the Rockies
had a contract total of sl,569, ,120, 400.
During the same period, and for the
same area, construction awards on
private jobs aggregated $889, ,878, 300.
Thus it is seen that almost 81 per
cent of the combined total of $2,458,-
999, 800 for all classes of construction
contracts let in the 81 Eastern States,
beginning with August, 1888, was on
publicly -owned undertakings.
Contemplated construction Of all
types reported by F. w. Dodge Corp.
during February was considerably
heavier than in either the previous
month or February. 1894. Gains over
1884 in new planning were shown In
each important territory over the area
east of the Rockies, except the Gen.
trail Northwest, Southern Michigan,
the st. Louis territory and Texas.

HOME OWNERSHIP
LAUDED BY GREEN
A. F. L. Chief Says 1t Is
Problem of First Import
ance to u. S.

The United States Government
could consider no problem Of greater
importance than home ownership for
the average citizen.
This Is the opinion Of William
Green, president of the American
Federation Of Labor, expressed dur
ing a recent radio talk in connection
with the better housing program Of
the Federal Housing Administration
Each American home serves as an
instrumentality through which the
family reaches its roots down deep
into the soil Of our national life and
thus adds to its vigor and richness, 4"
Green asserted.
Home and family are the chief
assets Of the Nation. In fact, the
American home Is the corner stone of
the republic. In proportion as We Gre
ate opportunities for home ownership
ard the elevation of family life to a
higher, materialistic, cultural, and
artistic plan we create guarantees for
the preservation and perpetuation Of
our free institutions. Democracy with
all its implications will be permanent
ly established on the American conti-
nent II we make America a land of
home owners who are guaranteed an
annual income sufficient to maintain
life and living commensurate with the
requirements of modern civilization
and American life.
THE American Federation of Labor
is endeavoring to achieve this pur-
pose. Its fight for higher standards
Of living, annual wages and annual
incomes sufficient to maintain a
breadwinner's family in decency and
comfort is in the interest Of Ameri-
can home owners, and, in the last
analysis. In the interest Of our ma
tional life and our free, democratic
institutions"

New residential construction and
modernization work continued to mark
substantial gains during February, as

Labor statistics to the Federal Housing
Administration. Both types of build
ing activity are being stimulated by

dental construction, a gain of 99.3
per cent over February, 1884. Addi-
tionS, alterations and repairs totaled
S12954,813. a gain of 30.4 per cent.
Although February is short month
and usually shows decrease in COM
parison with January, reports from IT'S
identical cities showed a gain last

new residential construction and ga
per cent in modernization work.
All Sections Benefit.
Every section of the United States

Director Says.
Continued From First P1ye.)

under the Federal Housing Admins
tration began last Fall, oficials Of the
housing drive said. The banks have
made 836 insured loans, for total
of $3.50, 900, while building and loan
associations reported 934 loans, for a
total of $3.50, 900. Trade finance COM
panies, lending facilities made avail
able by large building supply firms,
have loaned total Of $l25,00o
locally.
Gilchrist said he did not believe
the statistics supplied by the financial
institutions told the complete story
of modernization activities here. He
said from experience 1t has been
proven that for each dollar borrowed
for the work, home and commercial
property owners spend at least an
average OF two dollars in cash, or In
funds obtained from other sources.
Gilchrist announced that he had
approved seven additional mortgages
for insurance during the week, one
Of which was for new construction.
The $3s,300 valuation Of these mort
cages swelled the total, since this
activity was opened in January, to
$374,330. This is represented in So
individual mortgages.
The housing director said only four
applications for insurance have been

RUST is DANGER SIGN
Paint Should Be Applied on
Cleaned Surface.

Just as it's wise to hurry to a
dentist at the first sign of a cavity
in your teeth, so is it wisdom to call
in q painter when rust first appears
on q tin roof. Failure to repaint
when a new coating is needed hastens
deterioration. Leaks will result. If
painting is postponed too long it may
be necessary to replace the entire
roof. When defects appear the roof
should be prepared for repainting by
cleaning the surface with steel wool,
sandpaper or wire brush, then wip-
ing it thoroughly with benzine or
turpentine. The paint should be ap-
piled on the cleaned surface in thin
coats and allowed to dry at least a
week between each coat. Two or
three coats are recommended.
