Please send me reprints so that I may show our clients how the disposal problem is handled elsewhere.

Richard R. Mackay Thomas E. Burden & Assoc. Civil engineers and surveyors Cleveland

SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLANTS

Sirs:

The one-house sewage plant described in your March issue is of great interest.

You are so right about the need for sewage disposal plants. That is one of the reasons for much land not being developed in this part of California.

E. A. Beckman Beckman Construction Co. Inglewood, Calif.

CREDIT IS DUE

Sirs:

The Kronish house shown in your April issue is centered on a garden court which was designed and supervised by this office, as was the landscape development in general.

The oversight in credit was, I'm sure, accidental.

AN INFORMED CLERGY

Sirs:

I was much impressed with the April House & Home.

I am conducting a class in urban sociology and social problems in our seminary. With the growing stress on urban development, I feel that including an up-to-date presentation of the technical developments in the field is a must for the future clergy, especially in the Midwest.

Though we realize that the clergy will not be the builders of housing developments, still they are looked to for opinions and in such cases, informed and intelligent opinions should form their answers.

Rev. Alcuin Greenburg, O.S.B. Dept, of Social Science Conception Abbey Conception, Mo.

UPGRADING NEIGHBORHOODS

Sirs:

The excellent job you are doing to upgrade the standards of neighborhood building is sincerely appreciated.

You have been discriminating in picking a medium path between (1) high costs that builders cannot assume and (2) those bad building practices still engaged in by a few members of the industry.
