IA Blueprint Can Make Fascinating Reading
By Dovid 6. Bureuther

How to judge a house plan
boils down pretty much to an
ability to judge yourself and
your future. Any architect can
tell you there is no such thing
as a perfect house plan. What
may be near perfect for one
family may not suit your re-
QuirementS at all.
The size of your family is
just one of many factors. And so
is the size of your budget. The
way you live and like to live,
your hobbies, pastime. social
ambitions or lack of them-even
your temperament and your
wife's are among the innumera-
BILE keys to the blueprint for
you.
But there are many BOBBY
traps, too. If you walk into a
new house and want to buy it
because of the color of the wall
paper, think twice. Where is the
bathroom in relation to the
youngsters play yard? What
about that front door in a
driving rainstorm? Where will
neighbors' houses be when you
look out of these windows? And
so on.
And it's the same with a floor
plan. Take pencil and trace
your route as you would make
trips through the house-first as
yourself. then as a guest, then as
child coming in from play. Do
the lines cross and recross your
living room to break up conver-
sation groups? mo cross traffic
means no cross people," says a
famous architect il a new book
of house plans.
This book brings up a very
important angle in judging
house plans-economy of con-
struction.
There is no such thing as a
Cheap house today" the author,
Rudolph Matern, says in his in

property on South street to provide free

walk of most business houses Four or five
other smaller parking lots are maintained
by the town for off-street parking. Parking
meters are used ON the main thoroughfares
to control traffic and provide space for
parking Of short duration. More and more
shoppers are learning to use these facilities
by parking in the free parking lots for
periods Of long duration, and using the
parking metered space for short terms or
to pickup purchases from stores.
These parking lots are among the towns
