house you’re getting fairly close

g}to owning because the tenant

takes on some of the operating
expenses that home owners pay. |

The owner family, in addition
to the initial investment, would
have operating costs made up of

tenance and repair and insurance
on the house,

Many people enjoy the Iim-

your landlord and make sure
you have a clear understanding”

Renting is a satisfactory form

of housing for many familles.
Of course, they’re subject to

On the other hand owning a
house seems to be the answer

“NEW HOUSE DESIGN — A ae

cluded courtyard dominates the in-
terior layout of this three bedroom
bungalow designed by architect J.
Bryan Crawley-of Winnipeg,

Full length windows. and a sliding
glass door divide the court from the
main hall while the living room is
also well lighted by large window
areas in the courtyard wall, A
wrought iron gate opening from the
courtyard gives access to the rear
garden area. Other features are the
inclusion of a separate washroom olf
the master bedroom and the pro-
vision ‘of an ‘eating bar between the
kitchen and the family-dining room.
For best lighting, the courtyard wall
should face south.

The floor area is, 1,342 square feet
and the exterior dimensions are 50
feet three inches, including the car-
port, by 43 feet. Working drawings
for this house, known as Design
