When the new reservoir from which Jersey

which the Rockaway River will be restrained
and diverted will create a mountain lake cover
ing an area OF nearly one thousand acres from
which Jersey City will be enabled to draw fifty
million gallons of water a day. The ground
which will be covered by water, in some places
to the depth of one hundred feet, is now farm
land. and among the houses which will have to
be torn down are some in which heroes OF the
Revolutionary War found shelter.
These places will he wiped out" SAID a resi-
dent of the place regretfully, and the fact that
many feet of water will cover them will make
it impossible to mark the historic sites with
commemorative tablets
one of the most interesting of the buildings
doomed to destruction is the old Fitzgibbons
homestead. This house was built in Colonial
times and although II was improved and en-
larged at various times, it still has the generai
features-the broad central hallway. the hand
some rooms with deep fireplaces, and the dainty
pre- Revolutionary carvings-that made it an at
tractiye home when the Continental army was
encamped near Boonton In those days Wash
ington often occupied the house, and on several
occasions Lafayette was his guest there. The
officers of Washngtons staff and those who ac-
companied Lafayette used to make their head
quarters in a little stone house which stood
down the road short distance from the FltZ-
gibbons house. This little stone house is still
standing but ii will have to be torn down, for,
according to the plans, about one hundred feet

Rqueduct twenty three miles long. This water
way passes under the Iassaic River twice and
under the Hackensack River once and cuts
through long distances of solid rock Around
the reservoir there Will be sixty foot road,
which will be about ten miles long.

homestead contained beautiful mantclpiece
which had been brought from England when
