Bond Issue Carries.

In the local primary election Mon
day the most interesting issue was
likely the vote on the issuing OF
$500 in bonds to reshape and improve
the loop road through the village. The
vote on same was 70 to 35 in favor
of the improvement. Thus with
favorable vote of more than to 1
the council will likely proceed as soon
as possible to make necessary ar

the slum clearance projects and
community development ideas
that are being carried out in
many sections Of the country.
They offer the advantage Of
home owning to a number of
families in the low income groups
for whom the housing cannot be
created on a profitable basis.
The need now is a program
for the wage-earner who has only
been able to save a little, but
who has a full time job, and
who has always dreamed Of the
day when he would be able to
have that dream house.
Offers Hope
Statistics show most Of us in
that last group.
Surveys over the country
brought back the astounding fig
ures that IA per cent of we
Americans earn $4,000 or under.
Living on this income may be
trying at times but it still doesn't
prevent us from wanting "our
own place." This new program
offers home.
Part of the success, of course,
is in the new method Of financ.
ing. Long term mortgages and
payments such as sponsored by
Federal Housing Administration
makes the refinancing of loans
unnecessary and make it possible
each month to make payments
for ownership.
The fact that attractive houses
can be built for a sum within
such budgets is shown by the four
houses pictured on this page to-
day.
New plans are being developed

by architects and builders. Better
use of old materials and the dis
covery Of new materials are mod
ernizing construction.
This means better homes at
lower cost.
Houses built on this low cost
scale are a far cry from the mass

give no chance for expression Of
individual preferences and whims.
They may be small but the
plans can be adapted to the needs
of both the family and the bud
get. They can be built so that
engagements can be made in fu-
ture years.
Builders and architects over the
country are beginning to feature
their construction.
It looks like the square deal for
home lovers has now arrived.
Built to Last
These low-coSt houses all meas
ure UP to certain standards. Just
because they are low cost doesn't
mean that they are inferior in
construction. They are built to
last.
Here are some of the qualifica-
tons:
For the foundation, the walls
and piers must start below the
frost line and must be stable.
Three types Of foundations are
recommended. The first is rein.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1936-11-28

ceilings, caulking of the window
frames, and awnings on the west
elevation.
The cost included a tile bath
and kitchen, an electric range,
sink, and refrigerator.
Exterior Varies
The material that has been used
for the exterior of the house
varies with the locality. The orig.
inal specifications called for
wood frame and brick veneer con-
struction with a concrete base
ment.
Some of these houses have
been constructed in nearby Vir'
GINA and are really very charm
ing. 1t seems that from the
original floor plan, II different
eXteriors are possible and how
different they are. Many of the
plans are worked out to include
a porch and an attached garage.
These are only a few Of the
new possibilities on the market
today for those interested in low
cost houses. Next week will find
on this page of full description
of the plans and details of con-
struction of the houses that are
pictured on this page.
For those interested in the
houses pictured on this page.
the plans and details of con.
structiOn will be given on future

though certain of the houses
specify steam and hot water.
The two-story house without a
basement means that a forced
circulation is necessary If the
warm air system is to be used
and the room temperatures are
uniform.
Subject to Changes
These recommendations are all
subject to change on the advice
Of the contractor and architect
who has studied local conditions.
Provision is made for adequate
plumbing and running water. For
heating the water small cast iron
domestic hot water heaters burn
ing coal or wood have been cal
culated for many homes where
the furnace is not equipped to
heat the water.
A list of specifications have
been worked out in order to in
sure safety and adequate lighting
in these homes.
It is through efficient use of
building materials that these
houses are able to be built at such
low cost.
In some cases, the floor joists
and studs of material come manu-
featured in styles and sizes that
allow flexibility in construction.
These are featured in some Of the
unit houses that come as packages.
One such group of houses ranges
around the $1,000 mark. They

Here, where many thousands Of
people in Civil Service have per-
manent incomes, unaffected by
depressions that are so disastrous
in industrial cities, the owning of
q home is indeed a dream that
does come true.
Financially sound methods Of
making homecoming a reality
have been sponsored by the Gov
eminent during the last few years
and are being used by companies
here in washington today.
The owning of a home is now
becoming a sound investment
like insurance.
High Standards
For some months it has been
realized that the key to a fuller
recovery in this country was in
housing.
New houses are designed eff
GENTLY to take full advantage of
all of the labor-Saving and time
saving gadgets that make living
pleasant and offer a new high in
living standards to both urban
and rural families.
The Importance of such pro-
gram was pointed out by Mr.. Saul
Cohn, the president of the City
Stores Company at the Boston
conference on distribution. He
says:
'"The most important stimulus
we can give distribution lies in
the production of homes for mil
lions of American families with
an income from fifteen hundred
to three thousand dollars"
He thinks the cost of produc-
ing and maintaining a home
should be kept within a sound
relation to the wage income.
Most worthwhile, he says, is

have a wealth of convenience to
offer including year-round com
plete air conditioning.
The scientific methods of re-
search were used in their construc-
ton. The floor plans, size of the
rooms, and the different elevations
were worked out by engineers.
The houses though were planned
for the normal family and the
plans were standardized only in so
far as needed for economical con-
struction.
In this way the houses were
planned from the inside out. The
size of the heating equipment de.
termined the amount of cubic air
space in the rooms. Utility and
convenience were combined.
FIexibiIity
The plans were very successful
and now architestS in various
parts of the country are follow
ing with a variety of individual
exteriors for these standard plans
that give pleasing variety Of
design.
The original plan include a
spacious living room, comfortable
dining room, convenient kitchen,
and breakfast room on the first
floor, three bedrooms and a bath
on the second floor and a full
basement with proper arrange
ments for a recreation room.
A fireplace was included, COM
plete insulation of side walls and

forced brick or concrete slab. The
slab would be vetoed in case heavy
frosts occurred and there was poor
drainage.
The other two types are piers
and foundation walls. Piers are
popular in the South.
In the case Of the chimney,
there are two Of these require
ments. The flue must be lined
with regulation tile flue lining
and have at least four inches of
brickwork or concrete around the
flueS.
Such qualifications are found
in regard to each item in the
house construction.
Choice Of Material
The houses are designed so as
to be adaptable. The material
offers a wide choice. Wood, wood
siding, or shingles can be used.
Stucco, brick, or concrete can also
be used for the walls.
In the last few years economical
use has been made Of concrete
and prefabricated materials in
construction. The choice will rest
with the cost of the house, the
style of architecture chosen, and
the climate.
In finishing the inside walls, the
two-coat sand finish plaster is the
kind usually planned, but inSula-
ton board Of some type can be
used in climates where insulation
