Gentlemen: - Herewith I hand you fom^prin^V of employee’s cottages for Las Vegas, designed in my office. Design Ho, 1, Drawing Ho. 15573, is for a four-room cottage, design Ho. 2, Drawing Ho. 15574, is for a five-room cottage and design Ho. 3, Drawing Ho. 15575, is for a four-room cottage. Alternative design Ho. 3, Drawing Ho. 15575 A, is for an alternative front and side elevation only for either the four or five-room cottages, and is intended to he applied without varying from the interior arrangements of the designs 1, 2, and 3. Estimates of the cost of these buildings have been made for different styles of construction, namely: wooden frame, hollow clay-tile, steel-lath and plaster, and concrete-blocks, which estimate is herewith attached as Appendix A. It will be noted that of the permanent types of outer wall construction, namely clay-tile and concrete-blocks, there is but little difference in cost, and also that the clay-tile wall is 3lightly the cheaper* I believe cottages wilh outer walls of this material, neatly plastered, would present a more attractive appearance than that
