HEAVY HAULING

Selection of
HE first disappointment which
the average architect receives
upon accepting an order to
plan a home Is, In nine cases
out of ten, the fact that his
client has considered the se
T
lecting of his lot too unimportant a fea
ture to make It necessary to obtain ex
pert advice before buying and has pur
chased a lot either too small, lnap
prlately situated for the house he wants,
or so cheap in price that the house he
desires to put upon it would be utterly
out of harmony with those in the neigh
borhood. - '
The average man looks upon the house
as the home. While it Is the most im
portant part of . a home, Its location
should receive almost aa serious consider
ation as the arrangement of Its rooms, or
the style of the exterior. There are some
things not directly connected with the ap
pearance of a home which should be
taken into consideration when selecting
a lot, such as nearest school, when there
are children, and distance to transporta
tion facilities when the house Is built in
a city.
While the home should be located a rea
sonable distance from school or transpor
tation, a little extra 'walk is healthful In
either case for both children and parents,
and sometimes a needed exercise.
The main point to be considered in this
article is the relation of the house to the
lot. ' East front lot is always preferable
to a lot facing In any other direction, for
two good reasons; first, the porch, which
Is usually on the front of the house,
being located on the east side, Is in the
shade ,ln the afternoon and in the moon
light the for part of 'the evening, and
since it Is used almost entirely In the
afternoon and evening, these are "Im
portant points. The west side of the ,

Upward of 1,000 delegates are expected
to be in atendance at the fifth annual
convention of the National Association
of Real Estate Exchanges, held at Louis

ing special trains for Louisville and pick
ing up real estate men from cities all
along the way.
One of the longest excursion runs will
be from the Canadian northwest, al
though the party will formally start
trom Winnipeg. A special train con
veying them will run through St. Paul
and Minneapolis, picking up a large num
ber of real estate men of those cities.
Chicago's delegation of fifty or seventy
five will probably be joined by those
from Omaha, Milwaukee, and Iowa cities.
Detroit real estate men will go to the
convention accompanied by the represen
tatives from a number of , real estate
boards throughout Michigan.
Ohio real estate boards are planning to
have their delegates reach Louisville in
a body. Delegations from Cleveland,
Columbus, Toledo, Cincinnati, Akron,
Springfield and other Ohio points will
meet In Cincinnati June. 18, 260 or 300
strong, and take a steamboat down the
Ohio river. Plans are on to have the
delegations from Buffalo.'N. Y.j and Erie,
Pa., join the Ohio real estate men and
accompany them fin the boat from Cin

will abound, not only with interesting and
practical addresses dealing with real es

be held In the armory at Louisville, and
it Is expected there will be an unusually
large number ot fine exhibits. Topo
graphical maps will be sent by a num

of real estate forms, which will be on

house, being the rear. It is the natural
location for the kitchen.' When lt can
be located in the northwest corner, the
arrangement Is Idea!- A kitchen Is al
ways warm enough lri winter, and when
located in thf west, especially in the
northwest. It is In the shady part of the
house for the greater part of the day, re
ceiving only the rays of the setting sun,
at this time the heaviest work In : the
kitchen is over. Also, in this location, the
prevailing winds.. through the house from
the south carry the odors out of doors
instead of carrying' the odor through the
house, as they would,. If the kitchen were
on the south. While this fact is equally
true with a kitchen placed on the east, a
kitchen located In the east receives the
morning sun up until high noon, during
which time most of the heavy kitchen
work is performed, with due allowance,
of course, for Individual preferences In
this regard. Most housekeepers prefer
to have the baking and Ironing done In
the morning, so that the afternoon Is

Tovrl Points Oat the War.
In this column last Sunday The Bee
published the first part of a paper read
by Roy N. Towl, a local engineer, on a
new city plan. In it he polnted'out some
of the mistakes made In t'he haphazard
planning of Omaha and showed that some
day Omaha would have to go to an enor
mous i expense In again surveying and
laying out the city. In the following he
points out' some of the steps to be taken
by the cltynpward making a new survey
and emphasizes the needs for them:.
"The actual Veps of technical proced
ure called for, in addition to the present
routine, work of the engineering depart
ment, appear to be about as listed be
low. : I -omit at this point any con
sideration of the method of deciding on
the plans for future Improvements the
city planning proper, which would be
based on the surveys or of' the proced
ure for enforcing any part of a city plan
when adopted and consider onl the
work of recording the mapping
f "The: steps that are mentioned last
are more or less dependent upon those
mentioned first, for any given area of
the 1 city, but the several steps of the
work would be carried on more or less
simultaneously, and some ot ' the re
sults would become available for use at
once.
"i. The establishment : of ; reference
points by frtangulatton and precise tra
versing 'and leveling throughout the dU-:
trlct, and the reduction of , these points
to a w-neral co-ordinate system. '"
'2.' The surveying. In relation to the
new co-ordinute tsylun. to existing street
monuments and reference points, and oi
existing buildings, fences, bound-stones,
and ctber evidences of ownership; and
the Jirv pi ration c general topographical
mapc- . ,
The determination of the correct
practically free of work, but a few house
keepers report, especially in some of tho
larger homes, that the chamber work Is
done In the morning, while baking, pre
serving and Ironing is done in the after
noon. These are all the things which
people seldom think of when purchasing
a lot
The kind of a house to be built should
also Influence the purchasing of the lot
For example, a bungalow never looks ap
propriate' when placed' between two-story
houses. It should be placed either on a
double lot, or on a corner lot, A home
in the English domestlosstyle can be
placed on a hillside with little regard as
to how the hill slopes, but a home In
colonial style should be placed on a lot
cither naturally level or easily made
level by retaining walls or terracing. A
home In the English domestic style being
naturally of a rambling nature, should
be built on a very wide lot. A home In
the craftsman or mission style should be
built on a level lot, while a Swiss chalet
can be built on a hillside. Just "plain
house," or, In other words, the rectangu
lar box, with siding on the side walls
and shingles on the roof, can be placed
most anywhere, and that is why some
people prefer them. '
No lot should be less than fifty feet as
the. lowest minimum. To keep the right
proportion, the average lot should cost
about one-third of the ' amount Intended
for the price of the house. It never pays
to build a good house on a cheap lot, in a
neighborhood of cheap houses and cheap
lots. . If your means will not permit you
to build the home you want in an ap
propriate location, don't sacrifice on the
lot, start right by buying the. right loca
tion, and then wait for a year or two, If
necessary, to build the house. In the long
run you will not regret it.
