HOUSES IN THE AMERICAN SECTION. MINING TOWN NEAR JEROME, ARIZONAHerding & Boyd, Architects We regret the necessity of changing these houses from a one family dwellinginto an apartment house, as this arrangement will not provide your employeeswith the best type of housing suitable for their requirements. We firmlybelievethat it would be to your advantage to adhere to the original type of housedesign, and to meet general costs such as policing, refuse collection, streetmaintenance, and other matters indirectly related to housing as an item ofgeneral overhead expense,, rather than to attempt to collect it through increasedrentals or by cutting down the facilities that are offered to your employees.From the standpoint of money -involved, this is a comparatively small outlay. 64 THE ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER
