lcves that only the development Of

add to farm svrpluses. 1t would slim

charity rolls and improving the gen.

POOR GRADING
MAY Be CAUSE

Poor grading may be the cause
behind many damp Easements.
The finish grade should slope to
drain water away from the build
ing, and where this does not occur
the home owner should reconstruct
the grade TO accomplish proper
drainage.
All baokfilling adjacent to the
foundation Of a house should be
placed in layers approximately IL
inches in thickness. and each layer
should be puddled and tamped be-
fore additional layers are placed.
Where the ground moisture con-
dition warrants 1t, drain tile with
joints left open and covered with
tar paper or burlap should be laid
next to the footings and sloped to
drain the water to a dry we'll or
sewer or other outlet. The drain
tile should be covered with at
least II inches OF broken stone or
gravel All construction debris
should be removed from the trench
before filling, and the finish grade
should not come within eight
inches of any wood construction.

Q. In our new house we wish to
have a fireplace in one of the bed
rooms on the second floor in addi-
ton to a fireplace In the living
room. How can this be done with
the least expense?
A. Every fireplace requires an
individual flue and suitable founda-
ton. For economy, plan to use
the same chimney for both living
room and bedroom fireplaces.
Both flues can then be built in
the same chimney, and one foun-
dation will provide the necessary
support for both fireplaces. This
will avoid building separate CHM
neys and foundations. 1t also will
be possible to include the flue for
the heating plant in the same
chimney by proper location of the
heating unit.

course, there are leases to be con-

Of good architecture, well-selected
