This Is the time Of the year to
give the roof thoroughgoing sur

you much about what you must do

no defects appear you can pat your
self on the back and go back to

there is anything wrong, you should
call in a roofing contractor and get
down to what. how much and when.
l. Remember that the steepness
Of the slope determines the mate
rails you choose. Roofing materials
are Of two types: Waterproof and
non-waterproof. Waterproof ma
terials should be used on low
pitched or fat roofs where drainage
is poor. Non-waterproof materials
depend upon the pitch, or slope, for
their understanding ability. Canvas
and bituminous roofings of the
built-up type. which use layers OF
felt and moppings Of asphalt, or coal

be used on fiat roofs or on slopes as

APARTMENT ENHANCED
BY GARAGE COMPOUND

The desirability and income OF
many existing apartment buildings
may be enhanced by the addition Of
a garage compound Of sufficient Ca
paclty to house the automobiles of
tenants. Such an improvement is not
difficult to make where there Is ample
unused lot space at the rear Of the
plot.
The demand for garage space is
mounting due to the increased num-
Der Of cars and the tendency on the
part of municipalities to ban over
night parking. In many cities park
ing is perplexing problem for apart
ment dWellers.
Garage compounds must be located
and planned with care. so that noise
and headlight glare do not disturb
tenants and neighbors. Screen plant
ing may be employed to improve the
appearance Of the structure.

Drop Over 1886.
special Dispatch to The Star.


MINNEAPOLIS. Sept. 1O.-Wash-
rgton home building in 1887 was down
rs per cent from its 1896 level. C.
J. Ryan. vice president in charge of
the mortgage loan department of In
vestors Syndicate, stated here today.
This was the first decrease registered
in the District since 1888.
An increase of S3l.64 in per-person
building cost last year, the first in
crease since 1888, partially accounted
for the drop in residential construc-
ton in the Nations Capital.
I'm survey of Al States and the
District" Mr.. Ryan explained, wash
ington held fourth place in the Ma
ton, both in number of homes con-
structed and their value"
Mr.. Ryan's report was based on
housing survey made in 80 cities,
comprising more than a third of the
population of the United States.
Drop During 1887.
New residences put up in WASH
ington," Mr.. Ryan said, provided shell
ter in 1887 for 81 ,408 persons, a drop
of 4.108. or Is per cent, from 1896.
During the seven years ended with
1887, homes erected in this city shell
tered $1,000 persons, or about 81 per
cent of the 41,284 estimated popu-
lation increase in seven years"
The Investors Syndicate survey in
dicates that homes built in 1887 rep
resent about one-fourth of those con-
structed in the entire seven-year period
Of this survey-193l to 1897, inclu-
sive. Persons provided with new hous-
ing in 1887 numbered 2l,408 which
was 17278 per cent more than those
newly housed in 1880, the base year
of this survey. This is the largest
gain over 1880 in the entire State list.
Volume Of home building in Washing
ton reached its low point in 1888,
when new homes were constructed for
only 1890 persons.
Costs Increase Here.
Average per-capita new housing
cost in Washington last year was
s9976s. or 3.27 per cent above the
1886 average" Mr.. Ryan stated This
was the first advance in per-person
cost in this city since 1893.
Starting with 1880. when er-capita
cost in Washington was sl.76947, the
average fell to $l363, SO in 1882, rose
to sl,44594 in 1888, and dropped in
each of the three succeeding years
until it reached 96604 in 1886, its
eight-year low.
The per-person average cost in
Washington of $l,76947 in 1880, which
is generally referred to nationally
as the normal building year, was 43.6
