The letter from the league points out that electric wiring is & very important factor in the re- modeling of a home and that such wir- ing, like any other portion of the home, can become outmoded by virtue of ad- vancements in the industry. It also points out the importance of having wiring done in the right way, stating that added electrical equipment, without due attention to the wiring, can cre- ate a hazard. Plans for work on the dilapidated house at Fourth street and Pennsyl- vania avenue are advancing rapidly under the direction of Francis Sullivan, chairman of the Operations Committee. Miss Genevieve Hendricks, interior decorator, is working out a special scheme of furnishing that will be in keeping with the new home, and Louis Justemont, chairman of the Design Committee, by reason of winning the recent competition for a design for the house, is ready to co-operate with the contractors as soon as final decisions are made. Interest is being built up among the business men of the city by the appear- ance of speakers before the various Juncheon and civic clubs, as well as before the various citizens' associa- tions.
