If an individual sees fit to aheat and build his house entirely on of 5 i own ground, not availing himself the ad- vantages of a party wall, he has a right to do so. It seems that the owner of the adjoining lot, although in this way robbed of the party wall privilege, is without re- course. It is true that he can appeal to the courts, but it is stated that there has been no decision on this particular poin' Perhaps one reason why such a case has never been tested is because of the rarity of instances where persons prefer to erect a house having individual wal's. The sys- tem of party walls is much more economi- cal, for the reason that the cost of the walls is divided between the owners of the joining so that in effect builder of the house ts put to the expense of only one side wall, the other wall being paid for by his neighbors. Advantages of Thick Walls. In spite of this monetary consideration, there are now and then a few people who prefer that the sides of their houses should be protected by a full thirteeninch wall located on their own property, the idea being that when the adjoining houses are erected a thickness cf some twenty-six inches of brick and mortar will separate the occupants of house from the neigh- bors on both sides. In cases demonstrative manner partiti this thickness have undoubtediy great vantages. They are also cox yy something in the nature of fre — fore a8 a great protection in the of fire. In the Leiter case above referred to, if fence had not been above the regulation heigit, Commander Dickens would not have been able to make much headway, and Mr. Leiter could have “to. snap his fingers at them. As it is, however, Mr. Leiter loses a strip of ground several inches wide running the depth of his lot, and mander Dickens enjoys that peace of which arises from the fact that he has the rights of any prospective house builder. Some Signs of Spring. It is hardly necessary to consult the ther- mometer in order to be made aware, in this city at least, of the approach of spring, nor are the residents dependent upon that fa- miliar, though annoying, sensation which in the advertisements of patent medicines is called “that tired feeling,” and which seems to permeate the bones. The heralded in the changes which may be ob- served in the parks and in the trees along the streets and by the more practical indi- cations which are found in the efforts made to freshen and brighten the homes and the business places of the city. It is a great ime for minor improvements of various kinds. The lawns front and rear are clean- ed up, and a new coat of paint is put on the fronts of houses. Nowadays, since it is the fashion to paint the entire exterior of build- ings, the painters are seen at work, and ex- teriors all over the city take on a new shade of color. White and various shades of yei- low seem to be the favorites in this revived method of exterior decoration, and it must be said that it gives an additional variety to the scheme of color throughout the city, — tended rather to an excess of dullery The picturesqueness of our streets would be very materially enhanced if the practice* that is more or less common in ocher cities was more general here of having miniature gardens in the windows. It is what is technically known a boxes, which are filled with earth and in the proper seasons glow with the wealth of color that enriches even a commonplace exterior. It is said that the climate is especially favorable to the cultivation of | plants and flowers in window boxes, and as nearly every household has a few flowers which are cherished during the wincer, there seems to be no reason why they should not be, on the advent of the milder weather, transferred to the outer air, and suspended from the windows, where they can delight the eyes of the inmates as well as the stranger who passes along the street, and at the same time add to the artistie beauty of the city, which is now so highly commended.
