the roof from passing engines. IT also
helps to prevent fires spreading from

and burning embers.
Where fires have started in other parts
Of the building, Certam-teed Roofs tend
to smother them and thereby prevent
serious damage to other property.
This type OF protection Is appreciated by
all property owners and particularly by
those who are outside of the zone OF

.1O-CENT CARFARE
BLOCKED IN JERSEY
Utilities Commission Deni e s
Public Service Railway Plea,
but Grants Hearing
REFUSAL IS NOT FINAL

A ten cent fare. the New Years
gift desired in Camden and elsewhere
in New Jersey by the Public Service
Railway Co., has been halted by the
Public Utilities Commission.
In AN order issued at Trenton. the
commission refused the company per-
mission to increase the fare from seven
to ten cents January I. and set Jan
uary 13 as the date for a hearing on
the petition.
The proposed rate was ordered sus-
pended until April I. the full three
month period allowed by law for the
suspension of n rate.
L. G.. G.. Bleakley. city counsel Of
Camden, who has led legal battles in
the past against fare increases and zone
systems in Camden. expressed gratifi =
cation today over the commission $
order.
Mr. Bloaklev said the city had no
official knowledge that fare boost was
desired and no official preparations had
been made TO fight the trolley com .
pany's effort.
Az present. with the seven cent fare,
cents is the fare for school children.
The rev tariff desired by the company
calls for free transfers with tho ten.
cent fare and five cent fare for school
children.
When the company's petition was
filed several days ago at Trenton, Mayor
Ellis. of Camden. denounced tho move
and said his administration and civic
bodies Of Camden would fight to the
last ditch.
Mayor Ellis is in Washington at n
rivers and harbors conference. II is
believed he will consult early next week
with other officials on the fare hearing
set for January l3.

Po1ish-Soviet Farley
May Open in Few Weeks
Bolshevik Peace Offer Being
Considered by President Pill
sudski and Premier

WARSAW, March 10.-The Soviet gov
crnment at Moscow Monday sent sec
ond wireless peace note to the Polish
Foreign Office The communication,
which is signed by George Tchitcherin,
the Bolshevk Foreign Minister, ex-
presses desire for peace, not only
with Poland but with the other border
states.
The Soviet government declares in
the note that the previous proposals
of the Bolsheviki hold good and asks
where and when the peace delegates of
all the interested countries may meet.
Poland is asked in the note to re-
frain from an offensive, the Soviet
government explaining that its own
operations on the Lithuanian and
White Ruthenian fronts were inspired
by fear that the Poles intended to
make drive against the Ukraine.
The Bolshevik message came On the
heels of the announcement of tie VIC
terry of the Polish troops at Mozir. The
Warsaw press expresses the belief
that the Polish government. will be
ready to enter into negotiations with
the Soviet government toward the end
of the month, at time and place not
yet fixed. President Pilsudski and
Foreign Minister Patek have been in
conference regarding the Bclshevik
offer.
