Extensive Alterations in
His Residence.

First National Bank, is spending $4,000
in beautifying his home and property.
Mr.. Young's home fronts on Glenwood
avenue. The exterior of the building is
plain but beautiful. 1t is three stories
in height, exceptionally wide and I'M
usually deep. The interior was as beau
tiful as money and taste could make it.
He has two lots. and in the rear of the
house stands the barn. Being a lover of
chickens, Mr.. Young's workmen raised
some fine fowl. These were permitted
to roam at will on lots fronting on Mont
gomery street, in the rear of the house
owned by Mrs. John Roman and Mr..
George Mclaughlin, the owner of Cooper
Hall. When the Freeholders finally de-
clded to lay out the county Road, for
tunately for Mr.. Young, he was left on
the corner of the road and Glenwood
avenue The road, of a necessity, en-
HANGED the value of his property. Then
followed the extension of the trolley line
to West Side avenue Montgomery
street, west Of Bergen avenue, began to
build up rapidly, ana for a time it looked
as though it might soon be lined with
apartment houses. Not relishing the
idea of having that class of houses in
the rear of him, and incidentally with a
view to improving his own property, he
entered into negotiations will Mrs. Ro-
mains lawyer, n finally succeeded in

mains; so that now he has a frontage
OF 100 feet on Montgomery street, from
high and no finer building locality is to
be found in the city. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Young proposes making his old
home larger and moving it around in the
