V This appears to be the con sensus of two representatives of the federal government's Urban Renewal Administration who are here looking over the com munity this week. The visitors are Norman Wal ters, engineer, and John Bald win, code specialist, both of whom - are based at the San Francisco regional office of the U.S. Housing and Home Fi nance Agency, of which the Ur ban Renewal Administration is a part. .. Make Preliminary Study ' They are here making a pre liminary study in connection with Jacksonville's application for a $41,086 federal grant to fi nance a year-long study of the cost and feasibility of restoring the central area of the city. When interviewed Wednesday, the two seemed intrigued by Jacksonville and its possibili ties, but expressed concern over some basic problems the project faces. The preservation of Jackson ville is a project that is unique in the whole western United States, they indicated. Because of this fact, a somewhat origi nal set of standards may have to be set up for it. Most urban renewal projects involve the demolition of old buildings, Walters explained, while in the case of Jackson ville it is proposed to restore old buildings, many of which fall short of modern building standards, A determination will have to be made as to what building standards in the restor ation project would be realistic. - In Better Condition The two men said the appear ance of the masonry along Cali fornia Street was "dishearten ing" when they first laid eyes on it, but added they had found upon investigation that the foundation structures of many of the building; "are in a much better condition than we had expected." "Many of the buildings will take a little shoring up under neath," Walters said, "but that would be a minor expense." A few of the buildings in the core area, however, "are about as far gone as they could be without collapsing," Baldwin noted. . One problem that concerns both men is what to do about earthquakes. It's something that can't be ignored, they in dicated, but on the other hand it would be difficult to make the buildings earthquake proof. "This will require a policy decision higher up," Baldwin said. Walters and Baldwin expect to remain here through Friday. orwl far .Tanlrfinn.

However, as the width of the lot decreases, it becomes increasingly difficult to include all the features which are most desired by to-' day's builders. This Is especially true when a larger home is re quired. This particular plan can be constructed on a lot of fifty feet or less In width and also offers most of the advantages usually only available in much wider homes. The prime requirement of a well-designed home today is a center hall. There is direct ac cess from the entry to both the living and dining rooms. From the entry, one hall leads to the kitchen and family room while another short hall serves all the rooms in the bedroom wing. Kitchen-Family Room The kitchen-famiiy room is a place where your family and friends can gather for fun in a charming setting, a feature of your home that you will always be proud of and enjoy. A cor ner kitchen nook is surrounded by windows. Note the wide pan try which adds to the already ample storage space. Only a bar separate the kitchen and fam ily room. The fireplace has been located in this room as it will be used and enjoyed more in this informal family living area. Sliding glass doors open to the secluded patio. All bedrooms are generous in size and will accomodate twin beds. The luxurious master bed room suite consists of a large bedroom, a dressing room with wardrobes along two walls plus a dressing table and a private hath. This bath as well as the family bath offers a pullman lavatory and a partially con cealed water closet. A wide view toward the street is available from bo'.h the liv ing and dining rooms through the large corner windows. A distinctive feature of the handsome contemporary exter ior is the roofed porch leading to the Iront entry.
