"O' —— FARM SOUTH OF DECATUR SITE FOR BUILDING (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) the general contour of the land Is best adapted to landscaping and home environment; a main traveled road does not pass the place, giving it the seclusion desired by home owners. Final determination was not made until after the proposed locations were visited and the advice of the landscaper and architects was obtained. The experts pointed out the advantages of the tract and stated that it offered tfie greatest possibilities in the government’s first small homestead experiment. The government is desirous of making the homestead division a place of beauty, with each occupant having an acre or an acre and half of ground for garden purposes. Mr. Middleton looks at the project as a beautiful park, beautified with trees and shubbery and winding roads and a place where husand wife will be happy and content in rearing families and providing at least part of their subsistence from the garden plots. Mr. Hull, the Purdue landscape architect, is a man of wide experience in his line of work. Before going to Purdue he was connected with the city plan commission of Cleveland and assisted in laying out and designing the park system in that city. The architect firm employed by the government division is one of the leading firms in Chicago. The homestead development will be laid out and constructed in accordance with approved planning. While the structures and other facilities must necessarily be moderate in cost, they will conform to standards of convenience and will be designed to avoid monotony. The houses will not appear in checkerboard fashion and although the general plans will be similar, the outside appearance of the buildings will vary. The houses will not look like factory district residences, but on the contrary will express individuality, the architects state. The selection of families or occupants of the. houses will be left up to the local directors. Careful inquiry will be made into character and ability, past record, interest and fitness for agricultural pursuits present employment status and prospects for wage-employ-ment off the homestead and other factors. Sources of cash income are essential in order that interest and amortization payments may regularly be met. It is the plan to sell the houses to factory and industrial workers on a long time payment plan, no down payment being required. Ou a $2,500 house the payments will be sls a month, extended over .3 and one-half years, three dollars each month being set up in a contingent fund. The payments will include interest and principal, the householder agreeing to pay the ;axes. upkeep and insurance on the properly. In the several factories and industries in this city it is believed more than the number of houses to be built Will be signed tor. Many of the factory workers now live outside of Decatur ami with modern small houses offered to them at movierate rental, it Is believed many of them will move to Decatur. Mr IJtterer slated that more than 50 applications have alreadv been filed with him. Many inqunjes have been made and it Is expected that at least 100 applications will be on tile by the time he local corporation begins the selection of occupants.
