A MODERN OFFICE
FOR MODERN PLANT

When visiting the Perth Amboy
Dry Dock Companys' plant, one seldom
fails to visit the new office. The
company occupies it for the first time
today.
Upon entering the main door one
is impressed with the completeness of
the Office equipment. There is a room
for the captains and vessel owners to
write letters and look over the oaily
papers with retiring room attached.
Charles D. Snedeker, the secretary,
has an office separated from the book
keepers room by a small railing.
Here there is a telephone exchange
connecting with stations in the
machine shop, saw mill, store room
and at the ends of the several piers.
There is also a telephone booth with
doors opening into all four rooms.
The president of the company, W.
Parker Runyon, has a private office
with telephone connection. The sup
erlntendent's room is fitted up with
draughtsmen's tables and supplies.
A dark room is attached. The base
ment is used for storeroom for perish
abe timber and the various pneumatic
tools with which the plant is we'll
equipped.
The building is lighted with cleo
tricity and heated with steam. The
metallic ceilings are twenty feet high
and the building is ventilated with
the most modern appliance. George
K. Parsell is the architect and Emil
Koyen had the contract for construct
ion.
