CONFER and JAMES H. ANDERSON Architects It was our aim in designing the Style House to create a building 1 expressing the tempo of our modern life. With this in mind, it was evident that the Style House should not be a direct copy of some earlier architectural style- Today in this age of mechanical and Scientific advancement we are not leading "period" lives, nor are we design-" ing automobiles 1o resemble our grandfathers' carriages; and so we reason: "Why. should our dwellings be patterned after an outgrown past?" With this as a basis of our design, we found it necessary to eliminate all impractical and sentimental forms of decoration: overhanging balconies that are windswept and obstruct tire sun, false beams and trusses that have no structural significance; niches, arches and plaster and tile gadgets that arc costly and' quite useless. In short, we determined to substitute reason for sentiment and use only straightforward methods and materials in gaining, an effect.

The plan of the Style House an outgrowth of the conditions of the site and our simplified ideas of living. A scheme -was chosen that would adapt itself to the gently sloping lot with thetftmost economy, and with the mitiimum of hallways and waste space. This scheme. Uses only simpljmateriijls and depends for its Vffect mainly on the use of broadplanes of flat color.

Lundberg, president of ffite Key System and of East Bay Street Railways, is to address the regular bi-weekly luncheon of the Allied Eastbay Realty Boards next Wednesday noon, April 3, at Hotel Leamington, on the subject of "Trans-Bay Bridge Transportation." Since the subject is one of general public interest at this time and the controversy- between advocates of rail lines and those of motor bus service has involved a large number of citizens, the session is to be open to the public. Desirous of hearing leading advocates of both sides of the debate! the real estate operators, at their session of March 20, heard Adrian a pjenfor consideration of motor coaches as the solution of the problem- The session of -next Wednesday has been arranged for the presentation of arguments in favor of rail service. "On the adequacy of the transportation system used on the bridge and its corelation with the street transportation lines on both sides of the Bay, depends in large mear sure the success of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge," said Harold C. Austin, president of the Oakland Real Estate Board, in announcing the" speakers for these two meetings. "The Eastbay will enjoy an enormous development and expansion as a result of the bridge if the service expected of it is not hampered by improper transportation methods.

Intelligent decision of the problem now before those who are directing the construction of the bridge is one of the most important, questions confronting the entire San Francisco Bay metropolitan area. A full understanding of it on the part of all citizens is essential."
