Owner Builds Home,
Serving as His Own
General Contractor

If you have the experience
behind behind you. there is no
reason why you can't be your own
contractor when you build your
own home.
That, at least, is the opinion of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ores M. Crosby, who
not long ago completed a large
house for their own use in Fairfax
County.
Mr.. Crosby is superintendent OF
concrete construction firm in
Washington, and decided he would
be general contractor, for his owr
home, doing some of the work
himself and letting contracts fol
the rest to subcontractors.
Wife Picked Design.
Mrs. Crosby, however, was the
controlling factor when it came te
design.
"I saw a house in a magazine :
she said. land I came to the con-
clusion This it it,"
That was "it," too, and Mr.. an6
Mrs. Crosby flew out to Lake For
est, Ill, to talk over their plans
with the architect, Jerome Robert
ICerny.
I Mr.. Cerny's plan was carried
Iout to the letter.
MY husband wouldn't let me
come near the job while the house
was under construction, Mrs
Crosby said.
I When you have a plan, you
/ should stick to 1t without toe
many changes, and he was afraid
I would want to make a lot OF
changes as we went along" Mrs
Crosby said. Changes after the
plan is set are what cost you

Yed demands of a declining flow
of business by eliminating those
collecting pay fay for nonproduc

business such a solution would be
automatic, unless management
derived some pleasure from see

found an inexhaustible source for
finding dollars.
! Neither solution could be appli-
ed. In Civil Service there are
many slogans which sound so
plausible that they create the de-

to that as a sound human doct-

distorted and translated into
costly protection of the Civil

Equal pay for equal work"
originally meant that if person
in a lower civil service classified
ton was asked to do the work of
a higher category, his salary
should be increased accordingly.
