arrange plans and secure a suitable site
Tor the contemplated Odd Fellows
Orphanags for the State of New Jersey,
assembled at the Avenue House last
evening and selected a plot. The ground
is situated in I%rvington. about three
miles from Newark aud twenty-eighr
minutes ride from the Market street
st alton of the Pennsylvania railroad.
The location IL on Clifton avenue. and is
of easy access by the electric cars.
Abont forty members were vt last nights
meeting, and over seventy cities We're
proposed. None seemed to meet with
such general approval as the Irvington
one, and after Il prolonged discussion it
was finally decide ! to accept it, at the
price Of $4,000. The plot consists of
thirty-four building lots, ~unimproyed. A
building large enough 10 accommodate all
the Old Fellows In the Atlantic states
can be erected, and have room enough
lett to put III a few other lodges. That
gives an idea of the ground.
