the demand for small apartments with
the accompanying service features pos.

Though the fittings have not all been
installed as yet. the owner of the new

intcrcommunicating telephones from
their own suite and the door may be

of North Carolina hard pine in natural
finish. and all floors are of hardwood.
The lighting system, both in the serv-
