Home owners and others Interested in real estate will view th event with approval, and approve also the choice as his successor of Abner Ferguson, long the able counsel of the organization. land-Use Surveys Hit. Land-use surveys are being made in city after city as a "make-work" project. One recent such survey in one of the country's largest cities cost $700,000. Another is now going forward that will cost $3,000,000.

It is heartbreaking that this hugs expenditure should prove to be too largely useless. Land-use data should be socially and economically very valuable. But a mere wholesale gathering of facts without some plan for using the facts is always a waste. Money for "make-work" surveys is easy too get. But the surveys usually have been made without any definite objective, and th cities do not have adequately financed planning commissions which can collaborate with and use the survey staffs.

For a fraction of the money being spent for poorly conceived surveys, many cities could have had what they need for revised up-to-date operating city plans and new zoning ordinances, and be on their way toward reconstruction. Federal restrictions as to how Works Progress Administration funds shall be used in detail is working out in unfortunate waste in this particular field. MORTGAGE LOANS Direct Reduction or F.II.A.

The generous iving room has a recessed fire place which serves to preserve the uniform width of the room. Upstairs are three good bed rooms, well arranged in their relation to hall and bath. Two of the rooms both adapted to twin beds, are provided with two closets each.

All of the rooms have cross lighting and ventilation, and all have ample unbroken wall space to facili tate arrangement of furniture. Feature of the exterior of Design 6-G-5: Gambrcl roof; simple en trance with loop stoop; shutters; semi-inclosed porch; semi-attached garage (if width of lot permits); small dormers; balanced opening. Feature of the interior: Entrance hall with coat closet, inclosed center stairs; colonial fireplace on inside wall of living room; pantry (breakfast nook nwy be substituted) be tween kitchen and dining room; outside entrance to basemsnt at rear; inside stairway from kitchen; full basement; three bedrooms, bath, six closets on second floor. This six-room house is a fine example cf the Dutch colonial -tyle perennially popular with American home builders. The gable ends show advantage the graceful lines of the roof, with its small, delicately proportioned dormers and close cornice.

Porch and garage wings balance each other at either end of thi- main mass of the house and tend to give it a pleasant rambling effect. If the lot is narrow, one or both may be omitted.

Q. After my floors had been down about two months they began to open up at the ends of the boards, and there were a good many cracks along the sides. I was In structed to turn on the humidifier when the joints would close. They did, but it may not always be pos sible for us to have the humidifier on, and at that time I suppose that these joints will be permanently open. What is the answer? A It is natural for boards to shrink and expand with the hu midity.

Wood is like a sponge, which absorbs whatever vapor there is and expands with it. Naturally, if the air is very dry the wood volume will be reduced. There is nothing to be done about a thing of this kind. It Is usual and to be expected. There Is no such thing as perfect construction.

condensation: Q. -In our new house, when there was a period of cold weather succeeded by one of warm weather, water ran down the side walls from the ceiling. No leaks are to be found in the roof. Could this be caused by humidity in the attic space A Undoubtedly yes. The way to keep down vapor losses into attic spaces is to install vapor stops.

In the absence of these, ventilation of the attic space serves very well. BACKFILL. Q. Our house is built in clay and the foundation wall is waterproofed. Nevertheless water comes under the foundation wall at certain places.

We have been informed that this is caused by settlement of the backfill, which tends to conduct surface drainage down the wall, and that it will end as soon as the backfill is seasoned. Is this true How long will it take? A It is true.

HEATING PROBLEM. Q. When we built our house we instructed the heating contractor to put in an excessive number of radia tors, which he did. The house was thus most of the time too warm. Afterward we took out a large number of these radiators, and since that time the oil burner is on and off very frequently.

Do these facts relate to each other? A.r-Ycs. The volume of water has been reduced, loses heat more rapid ly, and on account of this the thermostat pulls the burner on more often. There should be a way of arriving at a good average condition. We suggest the installation of a few of the radiators that were removed, FLUE LINING. Q.

Is there any way of lining an old brick chimney without tearing down the flues? A. The standard method of doing this is to insert a steel pipe but this kind of construction as sumes that there will be some kind of blower that will increase the velocity of gas movement so that the decrease in flue area will not adversely affect the draft. We know of no way to rcline this old flue without the use of a blower. CONCRETE SURFACE. Q.

We recently purchased a home which is about two years old. It has front and rear porches, with the concrete finished Whenever it rains, or the concrete gets damp, these floors and steps are very slippery. Is there anything that can be applied to them to make them less of a hazard? A. We suggest that a competent cement contractor be asked to in spect this concrete work to see what can be done in the way of applying non-slip surfaces or re surfacing the work. SET-TIC TANK.

Q. The lots that are within our price range in the section of the city in which we must locate have no sewers. Kindly advise us how satisfactory septic tanks are, and what effect they have upon sala- bility of property. A. Septic tanks are used very generally for sewage disposal in first-class rural housing.

They are used also in connection with a large amount of city housing. They work best when there is some means of disposing of the outflow into the ground or sub-strata, particularly into locations where ground water will not be contaminated. The ab sence of a sewer should make a lot cheap to buy. When the property is sold, the selling price will be properly discounted by whatever cost is necessary to pay for the municipal sewer.
