I MAg 8 Room {2156 HE only difference between liv- ing in a duplex house or & bungalow Is the fact that in one case you must go to the second story for your bungalow, or if living on the first story, stand bungalow and a duplex flat is identical. The rooms are all on one floor, connected in the same way as In a bungalow and have light and air from all sides. This is the principal point, in which they differ from regular fiat | buildings, since in the latter, light and ai is seldom obtained from more than and never more than three sides The latest thing in the way of bungalow flats is a rather large bullding of four or five stories high, accommodating as many tenants as possible, each floor being a com- plete bungalow flat. When the bullding Is three stories in helght the tenants are made to walk to the third floor, the same as in flat buildings, but when the building fs four stories or more in helght, an elevator 1s provided. Buildings of the latter style are seldom built separately, being bullt in groups of from two to five, with a central heating plant separate from the buildings turnishing the power for the elevator and using the exhaust st two am for the heating. Whether putting up bungalow: In tiers, five or more stories in height, llke the abode of the cliff-dwellers will prove a practical investment in the long run, has nbt been fully determined, since this Is a new stunt in the building line. The experi- ence of llving in bungalows one hundred feet in the air must be a novel one. While it takes a little longer to get to them, it does not matter much when there is ele vator service and there is some advantage whatever nolse or confusion that may be | transmitted through the floor from the second floor tenant.

In the summer time there is al- ways a cool breeze and the outlook is ‘m most cases an interesting one. The average small investor, however, will always look to the two-story du- plex house as about his size for a small profitable investment. A small additional expense and making the bullding three stories high thereby dividing the cost of the roof, foundation and lot between the three flats instead of two would mean to in- | crease the return from the rents to a greater proportion to the amount invested For a building containing three bungalow flats it would not be advisable to have rep- e heating plants since the third floor tenant would object seriously to traveling up and down so many fiights of stairs in Q. . CHITEC CCLAuQiQAf\I{r\ b ! 5 CHAMBLR 12442 SECOAD: TL00R order to take care of his heating plant. | The most profitable way when making an |investment of this kind would be to erect |two bulldings side by side each containing | three flats, each flat being a complete bungalow in its floor plan and heating all &ix flats from one heating plant located in | the basement of one of the buildings. In | this way the cost of operation would be di- | vided among six flats, the same as in & | six flat flat building, but through offering | more attractive homes would mean much | higher rents for each flat than can be ob- | tained from an ordinary six flat buflding. | While a bungalow flat can have any | number of rooms it is advisable to not pro- | vide more than two bedrooms with poseibly | & small servant's room, in addition to the parlor, dinning room, kitchen, pantry and | bathroom. Flat bulldings are not intended | to accommodate large families of children and it is & well known fact among real es- tate men that a five or six room flat will rent as easily and for as much rent as one containing several more rooms. The rent in all cases depending to a large extent upon how convenlently It is arranged, how well finished and especially upon the loca- tion of the building, both as to its being in a desirable neighborhood and its prox- imity to a car line. Flat bufldings half a block from a car line are more desirable than those right on the car line. By all means never bulld a good house or build- ing, elther as a private home or as an in- vestment in a neighborhood of cheap lots. Looked at purely from an investment standpoint It is far better to pay a little more for the lot and a little less for the house or building than to economize on the price of the Iot,_ when it means a sacrifice of desirability as to location. MUCH SAVING IN FIREPROOF CONSTRUCTION IS APPARENT Delusion of Insurance Shown by = Brief Calculation as to Prob ities. With regard to insurance, let us see how it really works. Here is & concrete exam- ple. Three years ago @ man put up a $100,- | 0 store bullding essary to make it fireproof a rate of only $1.60 per $100 of that bullding. Outsl He didn’t think it nec n th * of repairs, ete that were not Insured against, the total c of that by Including the Insurance premiums for th ears, was §104,500. The building burned a while ago, and some of his friends congratulated him upon receiv- Ing virtually the full amount of Insuran There was some little salvage in founda tions, some brick, etc., but let us assume | that ho got back the entire $100,00. H aidn’t get back the premiums. There is a | loss of $4,500. It will be five months before he will have gotten into a temporary build | Ing, with new stock and his business going along normally, so that $10,000 is the he can count upon losing In profits that he should have made during that time, H | counts a still further loss of $2,000 by not | being able to make as good purchases as some of the stock he had. One thousand | dollars more goes In the loss of records of | orders. accounts The rent of quarters he will occupy while rebullding will $3.000 more. Moving into that new bullding | will be at least §1,000 more. So that he fig- | ures a stralght loss of §21 { tlon lorges due to old customer away from him and such incl cannot be well expressed In dollars and cents.
