16 REAL ESTATE ) . | JURY SOON READY WITHPEACE AWARD Policy Committee in Charge Announces - Arrangement Expected in Near Future. 22.~The Amerlcan NEW YORK, December Policy committee of the Peace Award. announced today that the jury of award, which is now! bolding its sessions, is expected to agree upon the winning plan In the i very near future. Meanwhile, the! arrangements for the “referendum' by which the winning plan is to be | submitted to the people of the coun- try for & vote are being rapidly com- leted. The committee sald that the ‘referendum” will represent a Vast | operative effort to secure &l thorough-going expression of opinion | from the American people. In addi-! tion to the ninety-three national or- . ganizations on the co-operating coun- | el of the award, which will circu- | larize their members, and 5000 daily and weekly newspapers that have announced ‘that they will carry the Lallot, and thus give their readers an opportunity to vote, hundreds”of organizations of all kinds are rapidly sending in their orders for coples of the plan and ballot. Ofce to Supply Copies. The ofiice of the award at 342 Madison avenue is prepared to fur-( nish coples of the winning plan and the ballot in any number requested. | The plan_will be printed in a smail booklet, designed to fit into an ordi- nary business-size envelope. With every plan there will be a simple but competent digest. The ballot will be & part of the booklet so that the whole thing will be in a compact and convenient form Unless requested to do so, the peace award ce will not send the plan and ballot directly to any groups or | lists. Tha policy committee’s con- ception of its function is not to do direct clrcularization, but to present the matter to groups likely to be interested and then meet any re- quests for the plan and the ballot that are made i Governors in many states have either appointed special committees or taken other measures to co-opergte in securing the fullest possible re- turns in their states in the nation- wide “referendum’ in Junuary on whatever plan is selected by the jury of the American Deace Award. The governors have very generally ex- Hr their interest in the result of this wide: d effort to secure a genuine cxpression of popular opin- jon as to what is the propér relation of the United States to any interna- tonal action looking toward the pre- vention of war.

When a garage is located beneath a dwelling all outside doors and win- dows, with their frames and sash, shall be of standard fireproof con- struction and glazed with wired glass. Openings from a dwelling into a garage shall be restrieted to a single doorway. This opening shall be pro- tected by a standard swinging, self- closing fire door, with approved fire resisting frame and hardware. No gluss shall be permitted in such a door. When a doorway connects directly with a cellar or basement on the same or lower level on which there is any heating device or gas fixture, the door shall be raised at least one foot above the garage floor level, or the doorway shall lead into a vesti- bule which nnects with the cellar or basement by a second door, The last precaution to prevent fumes from gusoline which may leak or be spilled upon the floor from reaching a furnace fire or gas light that may located in any lower portion of the bullding.
