A turn for enrDenterlnr In Ireland aa
a boy st Iwlceman Daniel Murray
on ths path to building- the 20 sum
mer cottage that form his own little
colony at Hlgrsa 'oeach, and the col
ony of 11 all-year-round houaea now
In proceaa of building at Claaon
Point.
The 20 summer cottajres " have all
a-one up in the last two years. Police
man Murray never thought of Koing
Into the building business. Nothing
could have been further from his
mind. But about two years ago he
bought a summer cottage on the
beach for Ma family. Fussing about
the place from day to day he found
features of the establishment that
did not come up to his Ideas of what
a summer cottage should be. Bo said
be to hlmaelf. "X shall build one ac
cording to my own ideas."
In his hours off duty he hammered
and nailed and sawed until he had
the sort of cottage be wanted. His
previous training across the water si
a boy stood him in good stead, and
his cottage was the admiration of the
neighborhood. Sunday visitors came
out from the city and, before long
some of them were saying: "Won't
you build us one?"
He built one, and after he nuiit
that he built another, and another,
and another, until he had achieved
the rows of comfortable little cot
tages that now line the beach, walks
about his own cottage.
Then be decided that there was
better business than building summer
cottages, lie saw people In the city
paying high rents, and where their
salaries did not permit Mgn rents. i
a Joss to find a decent place to live.
C om pas y Organised.
He looked about, spotted a tract of
land on Clason Point! not lar irom
his colony of summer cottages, and
got a lease. Then he buttonholed his
brother. John Murray, and hi
rephew. Patrick O'Connor. This was
early last spring. He confided his
plan to them, and auggested that they
join him In the venture. '
"Sounds good to us," they agreed,
and the three of them formed a com
pany. He fore a great while teams and
shovels and drivers were at work
evening out the ground where the
houses were to be built. In Police
man Murray's spare time he and his
brother and nephew visited the vari
ous army camps where lumber was
for sale, and bought up lumber by
the carload. Although difficulties in
shipping met them, the lumber was
at last unloaded at the Clason Point
tract.
About the middle of July the work
was begun on the houses. John Mur
ray supervised the building' work,
while Daniel Murray was on duty. In
Ma spare time, however. Policeman
Murray keeps a close eye on the
progress of the work, which is the
apple of his eye.
And what Is to be seen now? A
whole settlement of nat shingle cot
tages, some completed, others half
finished. Borne already have occu
rants. One was sold from the plana.
Three others were sold before they
were completed.
Carpenters hustle about the scene,
rules and hammers and saws In hand.
Wagons drive up and unload shingles
snd paint and plumbing supplies.
Laborers are at work ' digging
trenches for ths gas pipes to lead up
to the cottages. Klectrlclans ars busy
putting in wiring for the electrlo
lights that are to add to the comfort
of these houses. Inside the cottages
plumbers are at work setting up the
bath and laundry tubs, fitting up the
neat bathrooms.
Houses Neatly Coaatrneted.
The houses are arranged with one
long room across the front. Behind
this come the dining room and bath,
' then the kitchen and ts? bedrooms.
The whole effect Is ons of cleanliness
and light. The Murrays predict that
the occupants will be ready to testify
to the superiority of these dwellings
to the stuffy apartment, whose rent
for five years would pay for the en
tire coot of these cottages.
Outside the cottages and Inside are
Interested homescekers.
One lady with two small children
approached Mr. Murray.
- "How many rooms are there? Six?
How much are you asking- for the
houses?"
"We're asking 12300 cash, ma'm, or
ISuoO If paid on the installment plan,
11500 down and the pther thousand
In monthly installments."
"The houses look just lovely, said
the lady, "but I've only got $500 cash
and I'm so tired of living In an apart
ment. The children haven't got a
decent place to play and rents ars so
high."
"Yes, ma'am." agreed Mr. Murray,
sympathetically, as ths lady moved
away with a regretful expression on
her face.
"That's our chief trouble," ex
plained Mr. Murray. "People come
out to look at the houses. They are
crasy to buy to get out of the city,
but they don's havs enough laid aside
to pay the first Installment. Ve have
to aet It at 11500 In order to keep on
operating. We want to go right on
building these houses. We are going
to get more land in ths neighborhood
when these are finished and build as
long as the present housing situation
continues.
