Placement of Hot Water Storage Tanks

QUKSTION-About two and one-half years ago a large generator waa installed for year-round hot water supply, as well aa a new 30-gallon galvanized hot water tank. The storage tank was installed hori­zontally. The pipa is braas. The tank is beginning to leak badly. Could this corrosion be due to elec­trolysis? Can I have a copper boiler installed horizontally without this trouble? J. H. H., Whitestone.

ANSWER—The corrosive condi­tion of the tank might have been caused by electrolysis, or it may be due to a poor quality galvanising. Hot water storage tanks smaller than 11 to 20 inches in diameter will give better results when Installed vertically. My preference ia for the hookup shown in diagram number two. . . ,

A N S W E R - C l e a r waterproofing will damp-proof a brick wall by filling up the pores of brick and mortar, but it is not heavy enough to fill up cracks in the mortar. Small cracks might be filled by applying a coat of a cement com position paint. Large cracks will have to be repointed.

Unlike Charles Reis, Builder Wortendyke I, Still Occupied With the Same House,

By RAYMOND T. B. HAND.

William M. Wortendyke, who lives in River Edge k Bergen county, N. J., is one builder who has a big job on his hands. He is building his own house with the asa*. tance of only one helper, John Sperry. Though Worteo. dyke has built several garages, this is the first time he has tackled a house.

This house is being built on Mid land avenue, near the Paramus-River Edge line, and ia directly across the road from the Reis Homes (Brook Park section of Kenwood). Wortendyke got his idea of building hla one house about the same time as Charlea H. Reis, the big developer, got bis. Now Reis has 229 homes standing—Wor­tendyke has bis ready for plaater-ing. The latter hopea to finish his home by July 1, at which time Reis has planned to complete his 325-bome development.

Wortendyke is building his home much as his ancestors in this same

It was not so long ago that tab part of Bergen county was esse*. tlally a farming section. Todt* there is little farming in the tS. mediate vicinity of River Edge. there are a few intensively worked celery farms in the rich low-Uuuii near Ridgewood. Most of the old farms have been subdivided or d*. veloped. Kenwood, the Reis de­velopment, covers an extensive tract. Charlea H.

Sink Drains Can Be Kept Clear of Solids— Water Mixed Paint for Cement.

• By H1LSON MUNSEY.

One of the annoying and ever present troubles in a household is the disposal of garbage. It clogs up the sink and drain pipes or else it has to be thrown into the garbage can with very unpleasant results, especially in the sum­mer time.

Any method of overcoming this serious detriment to the operations. nuisance is well worth an investi­gation. Hera Is something that can be attached to the eaisring plumb­ing without too much effort. It Is applicable to the city aa weU as to the country and the operating coat is trifling.

It can be installed In any sink and it will dispose of any kind of kitchen waste except crockery and metal. This includes banes, cigar­ette and cigar ends, vegetable peel­ings, fruit stones, grapefruit and •range rinds and any other by­products of a meal.

Electrically Operated. The grinder re Installed under the

Sinn e n d ia o ^ i a . c u *// a n e i c c m c motor. The switch that controls the motor ia attached to the unit in such a way that it can be placed in the most convenient position on any sink.

When the garbage disappears into the disposal plant, far that is what it amounts to, it is shredded with knives that work in two di­rections at right angles to one another. The result ia a well-cul-up

ass of refuse than can very easily ua* Into the sewer system without

clogging the drain pipes. To week the disposal plant the

cold water is turned on after the garbage has been thrown into the container, the switch is thrown and that ia all there is to it. The manufacturers claim that there is a certain amount of gritty garbage, spinach, perhaps, that will act as a scouring agent in the pipes and keep them free from grease.

The unit is finished in black with two polished aluminum bands and doss not strike a harsh note In the harmony of the kitchen decora­tions.

IU operation is so simple that even a enlld can work it without danger.

BOOT INSULATION. SSTION—What are the rele-merlts of rock wool and spun to be Used in Insulating the

ency of these two materials i la really no difference. Both icta are highly regarded. All

materials may settle slightly they are first installed, bat

insulation value will not be ted. • * «

tting Walls Damp Cellar ESTION-Due to "clay" earth id the foundation walk, my eel-s continually damp. I know the beat procedure Is to dig

od the outside walls and coat i with asphalt. Is there any iod which is less expensive that to applied from th*. insider A. ., Jamaica. SWER—If the walls do net badly you may be able to

Eome the dampness by brush* on a coat of hydraulic Iron

One gallon will cover from 100 to 250 square feet, depending on the porosity of the s u r f a c e to be painted.

It is available in six colors, oak, green, two grays, maroon and choc­olate brown.

Three pints of water are added to each gallon of this pasta to make a workable paint.

Fir is a wood that Is increasingly used in the building and decorating of houses. It has the advantage of cheapness, but it suffers siao from some disadvantages. It splin­ters easily and when painted the grain insists an showing through. This Is due to the great difference in the seasonal growths. Several coats of paint fall to destrov the grain effect.

To overcome this there Is a prep­aration manufactured that'entirely eliminates these grain marks.

This preparation is applied to the wood before the painting is under­taken.

The wood must first be sand­papered, of course, then the coat­ing Is applied about two hours later. It forms a base for the priming coat. The undercoat for priming should be thinned with 20 per cent of linseed oil with suffi­cient turpentine added to make the mixture workable.

The application of this mixture will also minimise the danger of checking that is such an ever present annoyance in this wood as it is in many others.

CH1CAG0ANS LEASE THE GOTHAM B O T E 5th Ave. Property Acquired

From Metropolitan Life. • 1 - - I " - ' T

The nineteen-story Gotham Hotel at *he southwest corner of Fifth avenue and Fifty-fifth street has been leased for five years by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com­pany to a group of Chlcagoans

operatl vely owned for many years I headed by Arnold S. Klrkeby. The

section built grandfather founded the town of Wortendyke, which ia a few miles northwest of Ridgewood.) Most of the old houses in Bergen county were one-man Jobs, with occasional help. Where they used red sand­stone, the present builder is using cinder block. While the building of the house follows the procedure of a century or two ago, it wiU be equipped with all the modern con­veniences.

About two years ago William Wor­tendyke bought a piece of the old Zabriskie farm. The present boure is being built on the site of the old house which burned down a few years before Wortendyke bought the property. The old house, he thinks, was set afire. The Zabriskie home waa one of the old stone Dutch houses of which there are many still standing In Bergen and Rockland counties. One ef the best known, the Jacobus Demarest homestead, stands not far away on the outskirts of River Edge. The Demarest family were French Hu­guenots who first settled this sec­tion of New Jersey.

His Hardest Job. The hardest, moat tedious Job

which Wortendyke has bad to eepe with was the cleaning out of the old Zabriskie house cellar. It took him two months to clean up and cart away the debris. He first planned to build an authentic Dutch farm­house, as nearly like the original house as possible. He was going to use the same sandstone which came out of the earlier house. He found, however, that most of the good stone had strayed or been stolen; that that which waa left would have to be recut; that more would have to be bought. He decided, therefore to use cinder block. The outside

many of the Dutch farmhouses were plastered over the stone."

First Wortendyke built his gar­age (meet of our ancestors built their barns first) to try his hand at building. The garage bas a Dutch gambrel roof and sweeping eaves. That the house has a single pitch roof is possibly a result of Wortendyke's finding certain prac­tical difficulties in the building of the double pitched garage roof. Al­though he had built small garages before, this house is the first real building Job he has undertaken. It ia moreover the first Job for which be bas drafted complete working drawings.

For the past eight or nine months Wortendyke has devoted bis entire time to building his home. Today the exterior is about finished—ex-

Old Bridge to distinguish it freer New Bridge, a town which u oa the northern outskirts of Hackav sack.

t i o n . The building has been co-

and waa sold to Mr. Yesersky by the co-operative owne j represented by the 425 West 160th Street Cor­poration.

The building Is on a plot, 75x-87x Irregular, and was sold for cash aoove a mortgage of $S3,500. The purchaser intends to make ex­tensive alterations to the building. L. J. Phillips A Co. and J. J. Rogers were the brokers.

INVESTORS TO RECEIVE CASH

Court Approves Sale of Apartment Boose on

Convent Avenue. \ The complete liquidation of « •

of the problem issues in the mort. gage certificated field was aa> nounced this week when Jodg* Frankenthaler approved from tea bench a contract for the sale of tat ten-story apartment house at JM Convent avenue, southwest corner of 141st street. Investors who bavt received no interest for a four-year period will, as a result of the sals arranged by Lee Thompson Smite, the trustee for the issue, get aa s&> cash payment. The trust vffl at terminated. "".'

The issue ef $380,000, origsuSy guaranteed by the Bond and Mart* gage Guarantee Company, eonsitb ed of a mortgage against the prop­erty at 270 Convent avenue. TM mortgage waa foreclosed by tat Mortgage Commission and title ts the ten-story apartment house wu held for the benefit of certificate holders. In 1987, Justice Franken­thaler appointed Lee Thompson Smith as trustee and he assumed control of the property.

ine appucauon oy the trustee te sell the property met with no oppo­sition from any certificate holder and waa enthusiastically indorsed by the attorneys for the largest holders. The hearing on the appli­cation for confirmation of the ssk disclosed that the holders of a mi. Jorlty of the certificates were orign nelly opposed to the designation of a trustee for the issue. All were unanimous this week in their praise of the trustee aad of Harold J. Treanor, bis attorney, upon the successful completion of their work.

The contract of sale, which the court approved, provides for a $150,000 purchase price to be paid entirely In cash. The transaction is a net one and the trustee wUl not be required to pay brokerage

, commissions. On the hearing, cept for the pleeter-the <^ndows, R w Bridgetta of Brown, are in; the roof is on; this week -he was putting m the last of the cellar window wells. The front door has still to be set.

Fireplace Has Matched Stance. The chimney la being built by Jo­

seph Anton Iaxo, Italian stone cutter, who Uvea in River Edge. Izxo is very proud of his share of work in the Wortendyke house. The fireplace, which he has just com­pleted, Is his masterpiece. It is built of various shades of sand­stone, where corresponding stones have been matched for color. A stone on one side of the fireplace has its mats of the earns tint or shade on the other side. Iaso ex­plains that in order te accomplish this he cut stone for both sides from the same block. Joe says he loves stone, lives stone and dreams stone. He went over a hundred pieces before he selected the stone he wanted to place above the key­stone.

Wortendyke hopes to finish the house In three or four months. From now on some of the work will be let out. The plastering, electrical work, plumbing, etc., will be done by contractors in those fields. Otherwise, according to the builder, "I never would get done."
