Project of Great Magnitude

The United States housing project at Hammond is really a small city in itself. The streets have been laid out according to the latest ideas in subdividing. All pavement, sewer, sidewalk, grading, black dirt and shrubbery improvements have been paid for in full and are of the finest and most permanent character. The fact is generally conceded that Uncle Sam secured a dollar's worth of value for every dollar expended in Hammond. The general public will now be permitted to buy these houses at a liberal discount below cost, in order to make a quick cleanup of all local holdings. The Work of Many Experts In Hammond the Governmement's problem was unusually well thought out. City planners of national renown laid out this miniature city. Then the best architects in the country vied with each other to make plans that would provide the most up-to-date houses that could be built for the money. Every inch of space was utilized. Then landscape gardeners, the best in the West, were then called upon to beautify the grounds. The result: A harmonious whole. Environment of the Subdivision The whole project was set in one of the finest environments in the whole city. Close by is the new 20-acre Miywood Park. Four blocks away is the $350,000 Industrial High School. Two blocks away a Grade School costing $300,000 is to be built at once. The United States Government loaned the local Street Railway Company large sums' of money for the extension of transportation facilities to its houses. Right across the street is Maywood, one of the finest residential districts in the region. The Lyndora Hotel, a $250,000 building with 200 rooms, provides a social and community center in the very midst of the houses, and is a splendid example of Colonial architecture. General Characteristics of Houses All of the houses are built on foundations of solid concrete. Thev arc constructed of brick, frame and stucco. The roofs are of asphalt shingles. The conveniences include MODERN' BATH ROOMS. HEATING PLANTS. HOT WATER TANKS WITH GAS HEATER, LAUNDRY TRAYS, ELECTRIC LIGHTS, COAL BINS. SHADES, WINDOW SCREENS AND SCREEN DOORS. Each kitchen is equipped with a GAS RANGE, and Clothes Poles have been set in the yards.
