Ceiling Heights
Affect Heating

Ceiling heights in houses are not
solely matters Of taste but also
involve the important factors Of
heating and ventilating.
Homes built during the Victorian
period usually had elevations of
10 of II feet. These heights were
thought to be of aid in keeping the
rooms cool during hot weather.
Actually, unless the warm air was
carried off properly it only served
to increase the temperatures by
storing up masses of warm air.
Any sensation OF GOODNESS noted
was due mainly to the mental re-
action of the residents. it Is be-
lieved. Most experts now agree
that any space more than II inches
above the heads Of windows. un-
less ventilated thoroughly, is Of nc
value in cooling the room.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1940-12-22

on the basis Of both security and
income.
Third, the Industrial activity
m this area from armament or
ders has resulted in many fami-
lies moving into the city from
other points around the country,
and this, of course, Is an unusual
addition to the normal demands
for homes. One of our branches
reports that close to 80 per cent
of sales made In recent months
Is to persons who have just
moved to Detroit. ""
IAN encouraging aspect OF the
sales Increase we have made this
year" concluded Stevens, "1s the
fact that II has grown steadily
better as the year progressed.
and there has been no tapering
off with the ling Of cold
weather. Whereas, Jan usry
showed 81 per cent increase over
January OF 1899, the last 80 days
have shown a 95 per cent in
crease over a comparable period
In 1889"

Movement
To Lower
Taxes

A New Jersey Conference oil
Real Estate Taxpayers, Mime
sofa Conference Of Real Estate
Taxpayers, a Utah Conference OF
Real Estate Taxpayers. and like
organizations in North Carolina
Indiana and Arkansas, have been
formed in recent weeks for action
in those states on the general plan
of the new National Conference OF
Real Estate Taxpayers.
Real estate tax reform Is &C
lively under discussion also In
Pennsylvania, Illinois and Michi-
gan-where the State Real Estate
Association has just placed Its
recommendations before state Of
ficials and legislators - and In
Wisconsin, Iowa, Alabama. Geor-
gia, Florida, Louisiana, Nebraska,
Texas, Colorado, Oregon and Cali
| fornia.
Property, according to recent
study Of the Public Administration
Clearing House. pays twice as big
a proportion of the total costs OF
government, national, state and
local, as does any other tax
source.
The placing of an overall limit
on the rate of tax which may be
levied upon real estate has been
taken as the first objective OF the
newly formed state conferences OF
real estate taxpayers in New Jer-
sey. North Carolina, Minnesota
Arkansas and Utah.
In Indiana, where this initia'
measure already has been achieved
a rewriting of the assessment Law
to fit modern conditions is next
proposed. A bill is expected to be
introduced at the coming legisla'
tive session that would outline
assessment procedure upon the
principle that capacity to produce
income is basic element of the
value of a property for tax pur'
poses.
| In Michigan, another Of the nine
states which have put ceiling or
the real estate tax, the state real
estate association asks for legis-
lative study of assessment meth.
ods looking to similar action.

Storm Sash Aid
To Reduce Frost

The installation OF storm saxh.

aid in combating the formation Of
Winter frost on window panes.
Frost is formed by the con-
densation and freezing of moisture
from the inside air upon the cold
surfaces of the window panes.
Obstruction of vision is the least
OF the important trouble caused by
frost. More serious is the possible
damage and annoyance that can be
caused by melting frost.

Low-Rent Dwellings
Would Create CITY

If the $4,000 Americans who
now live in the low-rent housing
projects could be collected in one

Suggest Color Contrast

While built-in bookshelves may
be painted to match the walls OF a

trast to the outside.

Avoid Endless Rows

It Is granted that books are
ornamental and necessary to the
creation of a honey room, but
endless rows and rows Of books,
unless they are all similarly bound
and in harmonizing colors, will
prove dulling, cold and lifeless.
Such an extreme use OF book
shelves detracts from the color
treatment and in many cases pre-
vents varied furniture arrange
ments.
One interesting modern trend
is toward keeping most Of a book
collection in concealed bookcases
instead of open bookshelyes.

Book Arranging
Requires Study
For Home Plan
Bookshelf Decorative
if Properly Placed;
Use Mellow Colors

The arrangement Of books Is
now called a decorative art. The
need for bookcases is constantly
emphasized in articles offering ad-
vice on the planning Of new homes
or the modernization Of old homes.
Various treatments are sug-
gested. Some advise the use OF one
whole wall of a room for book
shelves, while others suggest lining
both sides OF a fireplace with
shelves.
A number Of decorators advise
the use of mellow deep-toned colors
in rooms where there are to be
many bookshelves. Then for wall
finishes brightly covered book
bindings will not overpower or
eliminate a delicate or dainty color
scheme.
