LOFT LEASE FORMS
BEING DISTRIBUTED
Issued After Two Year Investiga-
ton of "Fairest and Most
Satisfactory" Agreement.

Tenants and landlords, as well as
realtors, are receiving the standard loft
lease form prepared by the property
management division of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards. This
is a standard lease form which has just
been issued following two years of in
vestigation into just what constitutes
"the fairest and most satisfactory
agreement between the lessor and lessee
of loft property.
The new standard lease form has
been sent to all members of the prop
erty MANAGEMENT division. 1t was pre-
pared by committee of which Carlton
Schultz, Cleveland Ohio was chairman.
Other members of the committee were:
Mai j. F. Douglas. Seattle. Wash;
Carl Wells, Detroit; George Klein,
Indianapolis, and Vincent Mead, San
Francisco.
The form covers all the phases of the
agreement between owner and renter.
including provisions on services, claim
bankruptcy, removal of the lesSee's
property and approximately 80 other
matters on which experience has DEM
onstrated that the tenant and owner
should have definite agreements and
understanding before they enter into
a lease
The standard loft lease form is the
third standard lease form to be issued
within the year by the property man
agement division Earlier standard
forms are the apartment house lease
form and the standard extension lease
form.

CONTRACT DISPUTE
BOARD IS PUSHED
Joint Group Would Settle
Controversies Which Cause
Building Strikes.

Creation of a joint board, represent
ing both union building tradesmen and
their employees, having as its purpose
settlement of jurisdictional disputes be-
tween competing labor organizations
over the right to do certain construc-
ton work, appears nearer
Leaders representing the building
trades department of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and the National As
ISOLATION of Building Trades Employers
at a meeting at Atlantic City recently
approved plan drafted by joint sub
committe providing for the creation OF
a national board Of trade claims to
this end.
This board. if and when established,
would have as its function adjustment
of claims of two or more organizations
of building tradesmen which may enter
into a contest over their right to do
particular phases of the construction of
a building similar to disputes in the
past which have caused strikes, causing
loss to contractors, labor and building
owners because of the awarding of
work to one union or another
Would Replace I'D Board.
The proposed new board would take
dictional disputes, which was dis
the effect of its rulings.
The plan approved by the recent
joint meeting of representatives OF or
ganized labor all organized building
trades employers is subject to ratifica-
ton by the building trades department
of the American Federation of Labor
and the organization of the employers.
While details of the proposed new
adjustment plan have not been an
nounced here, it is understood it pro-
VideS for creation of board to consist
of representatives of the building trades
department of the labor federation and
an equal number representing the Ma
tional Association of Building Trades
Employers. 1t is reported that local
boards would be established in various
cities t. make temporary decisions to be
passed up to the national board for
final decision.
Aid to Industry Seen.
The purpose of the national board
would be to maintain peace and har-
mony in the building industry in the
public interest, and to foster economic
welfare it is said
1t would be recommended to archi-
tects, engineers, builders and others
concerned with the construction indus
try that the decisions of the national
board be observed in the drafting of
specifications and in the making of
contracts Proponents of the plan be-
heve that strict observance of this
recommendation would contribute much
TO the wholesome advancement of the
building industry.

1O4 Rosemary Street, Chevy Chase Md.

Built on plans designed for its particu-
lar site, prepared by Mr.. Louis Juste-
ment, recent president of the local chap
ter of the American Institute of Arts,
and following special specifications for
material and construction.
A point that will be appreciated is
the ingenious placing of the important
living rooms to the rear, where they
get the maximum Of fresh air and sun
shine from the south, and are removed
from exposure to the street. This also
has given the porch privacy, and renders
it accessible alike to home and garden.
The garden is most attractive fea-
ture, both as to its size and landscaping
such as only a home built-to-order
could have-and its artistic picket fence
enclosure gives the children protection.
