VALUABLE DEFINITIONS
Question “What Is a Boarding
House?” However, Finds
No Answer.
What 1* «n apartment hotPl? What
to th«* best definition of an office
btrtlfllng? A dwell In a? A brick
batldtn*? A brick veneer?
The average citlran known a ho
tel, a dwelling and an office building
When he sees It, but can he give an
•ccurnte and satisfactory definition?
What sort of establishment Is "The
Roupo- that-Jack-Bu lit/’ with its
stores on the ground floor and Its
army recruiting offices upstairs? How
about the queer brick-and-shingle
piano on the east aide of Peachtree
PStwtien Baker and Ivy Streets, where
a Chines© laundry was located on the
around floor and apartment a built In
ttte upstairs? Is the vacant Plaza
Hotel still a hotel at tho southern
Junction of tho Poochtrees. or is It n
r, future office building?** what is th©
status of the bootblack who sleeps in
his place of business?
Many such questions leave the
querist In the position of the man who
Mked ‘7b the turtle a fish?’* and Build
ing Inspector EL R. Hays oonstantly
hah it put up to him to answer in re
ply to inquiries which pour Into his
Office at City Hall. Many other things
Are sought, and In self-defense* and for
the good of the city and of building
construction in it Mr. Hays keeps on
hand a little volume known as the
city building code. It is more com
plete In Its line than Noah Webster's
unabridged dictionary ever dared to
t*:
Answers in Building Code.
Enter the building cods, therefore,
to clear up the situation.
What is an apartment hotel?
“Aji apartment hotel shall be taken
to mean and include oYery hotel in
which the apartments are rented or
Are Intended or designed to he rented
In suites, and for terms not leas than
one month, and In which ther© are no
kitchens, dining rooms or serving
rooms within the apartments, but
where a common dining room la pro
vided for the use of the tenants.’'
What la a hotel?
“A hotel shall be taken to menu and
Include every building or purt there
in. Intended, designed or used for sup-
'|jlylng food and shelter to residents
pr guests, and having a general pub
lic dining room or cafe, or both, and
ilso more than fifteen
ipleeplng rooms above the first story.”
("Ah! there are the distinguishing
characteristics—cafe and dining room
tmd fifteen sleeping rooms above th©
first story!)
What Is an office building?
"An office building shall be taken
to mean and Include every building
which shall be divided Into rooms
above the first story, and Intended for
office purposes, and no part of which
■hall be used for living purposes, ex
cepting only for the Janitor and his
family."
(Another mark of distinction—th©
Janitor and his family!)
What 1h o private dwelling?
Th© building code says "a private
dwelling Hlutll be t^iken to mean und
Include every building which shall be
Intended or (Resigned for or used as
the home or residence of not more
than two separate families or house
holds, and in which not more than fif
teen rooms shall bo used for the ac
commodation of boarders, and no part
of w’hich structure is used as a store
or for any business purpose."
r (Alas! ■‘buGinosB purpose"—-mall or*-

Here's the Question!
What is a boarding house?
This is an all-absorbing question
* % w ith a large percentage of the local
' citizenry. It is settled for some and
“decidedly unsettled for many others;
but sine© the building code omits the
definition as unnecessary the curiosity
must go unsatisfied.
Seriously, however, the building
' code is a good thing for builders to
, peruse. It contains more hints to con
tractors and day laborers than any
. other official or unofficial document.
’ It tells them that they must not build
their houses upon the sand, or their
'buildings of shoddy material; their
projections must not project too far
over the sidewalks; and their tile
roofs must-not rest on faulty uprights.
The brick used in buildings shall be
good, hard, well-burnt brick, and old
brick shall be thoroughly cleaned be
fore being used. Sand used for mor
tar shall be clean, sharp grit sand,
free from loam or dirt, and shall not
be finer than the standard samples
kept in the office of the Department
of Buildings. Concrete for founda
tions shall be made of at least on.
part of cement, two parts of sand and
five parts of clean, broken stone, and
cement must be capable of sustaining
without rupture a tensile strain of ut
least 120 pounds per square inch, and
after one day in air and six days in
water shall be capable of sustaining
without rupture a tensile strain of at
least 300 pounds per square inch.
Warning to Beginners!
Wrought iron must be fibrous, tough
and ductile. All structural steel shali
have an ultimate strength of 54,000 to
€4,000 pounds per square Inch.
This is important, Mr. House Ruild-
er: When tearing down an old house
for your new one begin with the top
story’, not with the bottom. Further
more, the material to be removed shall
be properly wet down to lay the dust
Incident to its rsrauvaL
This is also well worth noting; In
sitting on a plank which you want to
cut off at the top of the building, do
not saw between yourself and the
house. You may strike an innocent
•arjeT ander.

home to be built by your own plan

Forty-two Residence Lots April
30 in E. Rivers’ Subdivision.
Many Inquiries Received.
An auction sale of 42 residence lots
will be held by E. Rivers in the
Peachtree Heights subdivision be
ginning at Luke View Avenue, }ust
beyond the city limits, on Wednes
day. April 30.
An unusual amount of home-build
ing has been done here within the
last year, and Peachtree Heights now
has approximately a dozen more
handsome residences than were there
one year ago. Some fifteen or twen
ty new homes are planned to be built
here and In the immediate vicinity
within the next twelve months
Peachtree Heights is on the Buck-
head car line and within twenty min
utes’ ride of the heart of business
Atlanta, and residents reach the city
nearly as quickly as those who live
around Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Streets City water is available, and
Mr. Rivers has put in an effective
system of sewerage which reaches
every lot, with telephones and elec
tric lights available. The lot frontages
vary from 65 feet to 100 feet, and the
depths are considerable. A tract of
four acres has been laid off as a park
and playground for the children.
"We are going to sell every one
of these lots," said Mr. Rivers, "and
Judging from the inquiries w© have
received, there is no question that
the demand this spring will be great
er than the supply." •
j Would Organize
Peachtree Folk
Building Restrictions and Co-opora-
tion Needed, Declares Realty
Dealer.
Plans for enlisting the support of
all the people owning property along
Peachtree Road in a movement to
establish building restrictions and to
beautify the Pea* btree sections after
definite scheme are fairly / under
way, and a prominent local real es
tate dealer asserts that he will push
the project to Its conclusion.
"There has long been a need for a
definite plan for the sections lying
along and close to Peachtree, ’ said
this land broker. "We need build
ing restrictions which will cause
homty to be set back the proper dis
tance from streets and to keep out
of certain section* the little stores
that are so hurtful to fine residences.
Then wa need co-operation in cutting
new streets and roads and a sensible
Jan for making the same.
"While It is desirable to keep in
tact many of th© large tracts in the
county, we can’t shut out the man
who wants to huild his home on a
100x200-foot lot. Let them all com©
ahead with their plans for building,
because Atlanta reeds al! the home
owners she can get. Comparatively
few people- have the money to buy
country estates, and the man of mod
erate moans Is so much In the ma
jority that he count* most after all.
Organization Is the best thing for
everybody, and It will come in th©
near future.”

The custom of owners In design
ing a building le to sacrifice art and

Enhancement Is Seen
In Big Improvements
Advertiser Uses Comparisons to
Show That Whitehall Realty Will
Double With Regrade.
Will lower Whitehall realty valuel
double during the present year?
A number of real estate men are
predicting that they will. An agency
which has been conducting a suc
cessful advertising campaign In this
direction declares that the city will
save millions by anticipating such tnq-
provements as Whitehall is to have,
and preparing years ahead for Ihls
growth.
"A real city no longer tolerates
humps and dips in its business dis
trict," declares this advertiser.
"Pittsburg Just spent two millions
cutting 18 feet In front of Its most
noted building, and Instead of paying
estimated damages actually showed
enhancement ranging from 100 to 500
per cent, Kansas City Is spending
twenty millions arranging grade lev
els to its new flve-million-dollar ter
minal. Los Angeles lowered one of
its principal hotels 48 feet.
"Atlanta will ?ave millions by an
ticipating her growth and acting be
fore genuinely permanent structures
are erected.
"Whitehall values will double when
the hump at Trinity and the ravine
at Brotherton are adjusted.”
Citizens Own Homes
Through Easy Terms
Real Estate Men Offer Places as
Low as $100 Down and $20
a Month.
Home-owning; has been reduced to
a science in Atlanta, and the real
estate^ man has played his part In the
consummation. Easy terms have
made it possible. A local dealer, ad
vertising three homes, put terms on
them that are within the reach of a
very large proportion of the popula
tion.
On East Fair Street he offers a six-
room cottage on a 50 by 150-foot lot
for $2,000, on terms of $100 cash and
$20 a month; in Ansley Park he has
a new eight-room. two-story house on
a 60 by 175-foot lot. at $6,600, on terms
of $300 cash and the balance at $25 a
month, and on Ponce DeLeon Ave
nue. near North Boulevard, he offers
a nine-room house, on a 50 by 232-
foot lot. at $8,600, on terms of $1,200
cash and $35 a month.
There arc many other lists that con
tain propositions similar to the above,
and the home-seeker with a few hun

Wisest Buyers
Are Buying Now
Don’t Let Profits Go to Your Neigh
bor, Is Advice of A. 8.
Hook.
Don’t **it and sulk in your tent,
urges A. S. Hook, speaking of local
realty for the Foster & Robson Real
Estate Agency. Go out and buy some
property and pull down profits like
your neighbors are enjoying. Prices
will never be less, and values will
grow' steadily with the growth of the
city.
Mr. Hook Is one of the best-posted
real estate men .in the city and here
Is what he says about the advisa
bility of investing:
“To buy or not to buy real estate-
that is the question that every At
lantan and almost every Georgian Is
debating.
“What does it profit a ipan to say
*thg prices are too high;’ that ‘the
property uoes not pay an income,’
when he sees his neighbors and his
friends buying and selling at good
profits?
"What does he prove when he ar
gues It out that there are no im
provements that might be put upon
the land that would pay a fair re
turn on the Investment, when his
neighbors and hls friends go ahead
and do build on the land and do re
ceive fair returns upon their invest
ments?
Where Boosters Win.
"The truth Is that he loses profits
that he might easily have made. That
he, so far as hls Influence goes, is
knocking his own town, when he
should be a booster.
"He proves that hls judgment is
poor; that his neighbors and friends
are far sighted and more logical than
he, because they go right along buy
ing, and building, and selling, taking
down their golden profits, while he
sits and sulks in hls tent.
"We believe that the really smart

Lots One-Fourth to One and One-Half Acres Each
50-75-100-150 Ft. Frontage
To meet the demands of homeseekers and investors of Peachtree Road
property for lots of various sizes and prices, Fernwood has been accordingly
platted. Buyers can now make a selection from lots with a frontage of from
fifty to one hundred and fifty feet in width and varying in size from one-
fourth to one and one-half acres each.
Prices commensurate with property and conformable with buyers’ circum
stances. Choice lots, one-fourth acre, $250 each; larger lots in proportion.
All lots appraised at acre prices.
No crowding in Fernwood. Two large parks of several acres each have
been reserved in this property and which so separate the lots as to do away
with crowding and congestion. Fernwood was platted with a view of obtaining
a real country home at lowest prices for city people. To see Fernwood
a great relief will be realized over the usual postage stamp (small lot) propo
sition of the average subdivision.
Fernwood is situated one-fourth mile beyond the present terminus of the
Buckhead-Brookhaven car line,just off Peachtree Road and directly opposite the
grounds of the Brookhaven Club. Oglethorpe University will be erected on
grounds situated only one-half mile beyoad Fernwood The street car line
to Oglethorpe will pass our property.
Fernwood lots have a strong appeal for homeseekers or buyers who wish
to unite city and country life; or who wish to enjoy the club or educational
advantages of either Brookhaven or Oglethorpe University. Many lots have
already been asked for.
