Mr.. Freehof's plans have to do with
an IL" shaped building on n tentative
plot next to and around the Hotel

an auditorium, restaurant, grill room
and small rooms for clubs and families
on the third are women's and mems
hotel family apartments OF one. two

Not n Nero Dream
! That Mr.. Stocktons plan has no re-
lation to schemes which are sometimes
known as dreams" is further indi-
Gated by the fact that authority was
given at the meeting at AZ University
place for the appoi ointment OF commit
tees TO represent the groups through
whose agencies the Stockton idea is
to be carried out. DR.. Slattery will
appoint the committee representing re-
ligious bodies. The Rev. Frederick B.

the press. The American Federation
OF Labor will select the committee on
wage earners. The women's commit
tee will be picked by representatives
OF women's clubs. The Rev. DR.. Alex
ander will act as chairman Of the joint

problems OF Washington Square and
its environs until tho financial phase
of the entire enterprise shall be ap-
proved by a committee OF men Of in
