Gustave Ring discusses open space and privacy in garden apartment design in Urban Land. He favors off street rear open areas, low density, and limited street space to boost privacy, reduce traffic, and lower costs, citing Cock Village Boston as a model and noting people will walk 250 feet to stay away from traffic.
The author argues that internal street width should allow diagonal parking on both sides to maximize parking with minimal paving. This approach keeps cars close to tenants and preserves open property areas, criticizing plots or colonial village layouts as wasteful. Mr Ring, president of Ring Construction, is noted as a longtime apartment developer who pioneered FHA insured garden apartments in the early thirties.

The resin base coating, brushed on as screens go up, forms a lethal surface and can be used on thresholds, light cords, benches, and picnic areas. Also recommended is ten percent DDT powder or spray for lawns and foliage. emulsion concentrate at five percent strength provides long lasting protection. 6-13-48
