time. Poor storm seweis mean
flooded iKisements and sanitary
problems to solve and It would he
well to inquire Into this phase of
He WaffC.
Most basements are now built
with a drain connected with the
sewage system but In some sec
tions of town Hhallow sewers pre
vent this. If one wants a deep
basement with the majority depth
underground, tills will prove a
handicap.
Must Cmiddei' Sun.
The sun, also, must he consider
ed. A house facing west will usual
ly he warmer In the afternoon until
shade trees are fully developed. In j
the living room, dining nujtn and
f ront bedroom ultltounh .the hack
rooms will be cooler, and vice versa.
A house I'ucing north or soul h
will always have one' side cooler
and the other wanner, i
High paving assessments often
prove burdensome to home ow ti
ers and these too, can be taken
care of. A lot In the renter of the
block will not have as great an mh
secssmen placed against as will n
corner or near-corner lot. although
the latter will usually command n
higher price on re-sah
A little thought on these and sim
ilar problems before purchasing a
lot. will undoubtedly do away with
much adversity ami dlssallsfciet ion
at a later date.

The genernl tendenry nf build

In May the gain was 16 per rent,
so that with the Juno Increase of
.11 per cent there was n overage
monthly gain during the second
quarter of 27 per cent.
The figures during the first quar
ter of the year moreover cannot be
taken at their face value. Inasmuch
as the losses were confined largely
to New York t'lty where compara
tive declines were recorded as the
.result of the excessive filing of
building" plans prior to the expira
