The above offer is good for three months from
date Respectfully.
Newark, n. j.. May 10, 1896.
The location Of the lots offered Is not thought to
be suitable for the society's purposes, and it is
doubtful therefore, If the offer will be accepted.
The society needs money for building purposes
and what II most desires Is to get possession Of
the present Free Library Building on West Park
St, which Is owned by the old Newark Library
Association. 1t Is valued a 100000. This build
Ing first erected for the Park Church and
there was a mortgage on 1t Of $4,000. The mort
gage was foreclosed and the building became the
property of the late DR.. Abraham Coles the
father Of DR.. ]. Alderman Coles. II was trans
formed into the Park Theatre, and was afterward
altered for public library.
The Free Library will vacate the building next
year to occupy new building about to be erected.
and the aim Of the Historical Society has been TO
get possession of the West Park-s building
which Is well located and especially adapted for
the society's purposes.
Dr. Coles has some old masters and other fine
pantinga on free exhibition In one of his build
ings in Market-st., and he was showing the col
lection TO friends yesterday, when the matter Of
his offer 10 the Historical Society was referred to.
DR.. Coles intlmated that he might do still better.
He is deeply Interested In the objects OF the So
ciety and in all educational matters and his offer
to the society was entirely voluntary.
