Four Musts to Satisfy IL
BY WADSWORTH B. WOOD.


The average person has several
ambitions. The first is probably to
get ahead with his job or his bust
ness, and the second will undoubt-
edly be to invest his savings and
earnings in his own home. Now is
the time to plan for the fulfillment
of that ambition, for the very reason
that the house of today, as it is pos
sible to build it, presents undreamed-
OF comfort and convenience.
The sure road to satisfactory
home ownership is the careful plan
ming of the steps that lead up to it.
Cut your steps with care, make each
one solid and you will reach your
goal.
Step No. is the exact calculation
OF the amount which you can afford
to spend on house. BY that we
mean your savings in cash, bonds or
other assets. These will handle your
initial payment. Your income must
be sufficient to carry interest, taxes
and amortization. Don't forget the
furniture 1--WE will have an interest
ing angle on that at later date)
In short, decide beyond a doubt
whether or not you can afford the
grand venture of building your own
home.
Step No. 2 Is to organize yourself
Get your ideas about your new
house together Stop dreaming
about luxuries you know are beyond
you but which will be yours, one
by one, if you plan for them as
future additions. Plan a basic unit
of house and home now-one
that is laid out to incorporate the
luxuries as you can afford them
It is being done every day. Come
to a decision about the style of your
house, the exterior finish, the mum.

it is to face. Have a solid reason
for each decision.
Step 3 is to select the proper
site, remembering that your money
will be tied up there, year after
year, for better or for worse, select
a good architect or secure a good
set of plans which meet your re-
quirements and a builder capable
of carrying them out.
Step No. 4 will be visit tc
your local bank or building ano
loan association, unless you have
the money for an all-cash opera
ton, and few of us have. Tell them
your story and your ambitions ano
don't be one bit bashful about it
You will receive some good advice
because that is their business.
Now is the time to realize that
better standard of living for which
this country is famous. You pay
rent for the privilege of having a
roof over your head. Convert that
into a house which you own. Study
the clever plans of modern homes

CITY DEVELOPMENT
PUSHED BY SOL0NS
Council Authorizes New
Drainage Project And
Opens Up Market

Two steps toward Wilmington :
future as flourishing and clean
city were taken yesterday when
the City council a. threw open
the city produce market TO all COM
ers and (2) authorized a new $780,.
600 storm drainage project.
Tie city market has 1oag been {,
very dead duck. Under the existing
ordinance, only local farmers are
permitted TO sell their produce
there. Further, each farmer is al
lowed to sell only his own produce;
he cannot act as agent for his
neighbor farmer and dispose of his
produce for him.
Wholesalers Barred
Moreover, all wholesalers of
farm produce are barred from the
market.
Under this situation, much local
farm produce is being diverted to
markets in BTgaw, Whitevi1le,
and Wallace, and local consumers
here are eating, not New Hanover
grown food, but food imported from
far sections of the country.
The entire matter was brought
before the council by delegation
from the agricultural committee of
the Wilmington Chamber of Com
merce composed of H. A. Marks,
R. W. Galphin, Kyle Bannerman,
and George Hutaff.
Petitions Submitted
The delegation submitted to the
council two petitions-one signed
by At farmers and one signed by
IS food merchants-asking that the
council rescind its market ordi-
nance and draw up a new one al
lowing not only New Hanover farm
ers and wholesalers, but also farm
ers and wholesalers from other
counties to use the market Sin open

The committee members predict
ed that such action by the council
would create great flow of farm
produce through this city and make
