BANK ROOM
TO BE IN OLD NEW YORK
CUSTOM HOUSE.
Great Standard Oil Financial Institu-
ton, Which Owns Building, to Make
Some Extensive Alterations.

NEW YORK. Oct. 1S.-The plans of
the National City Bank, the Standard
OIL institution. for ~remodelling the old
Custom House at Wall and William
streets, in the heart of the financial
district. into a gigantic banking struc-
ture, have been outlined by Vice
President Frank A. Vanderlip.
The bank expects to gain possession
from the government not later than
November /, and the work of remodel
ling will begin Immediately. thereafter.
The building, ready for occupancy. will
probably be turned over to it's new
soWners early in the fall of 1908.
The architects drawings. now in en-
bryonic form, provide for a main en-
trance of imposing proportions. The
great columns of granite that have
given tone to the street for more than
half a century are to tbe kept intact,
ard no other changes are to be made III
the exterior which would in any way
change the general architectural fen
tures Of tho structure.
However. the top story. which is twenty
years Younger than the other parts of the
stories added In its place. These will be
constructed in exact conformity with the
plans. of the original architect.
The distinctive feature of the new home
OF the National City is to be the man
banking room, occupying the centre space
formerly used by custom house clerks and
brokers for the entry of merchandise. and
In addition practically all of the block
wide remodeled ground floor of the build
ing. No ornate fixtures are to be installed
but instead every detail Is to be worked out
in marble in harmony with the tone of the
building. When completed no other bank
ing room in the world will approach this
one In size and in convenience and Local

SEE GAIN TO CITY
BILL ON WATER
FRONT IMPROVEMENT.
Regarded as Good Thing by Works
Commissioners-Correct Potable
Act Impression.

The new dock bill enabling Newark
tent of a million dollars was heartily
Endorsed yesterday afternoon by Com
missioner Augustus Eggers at the
meeting of the Board of Works. He
said that the bill would materially
benefit Newark. He considered it one
of the best. bits of legislation enacted
during the entire session.
The commissioner then took up the
potable water bill, and said that the
board lad nothing to do with its pas
sage.
President Denman supplemented Mr..
Eggers's remarks by stating that he
had worked earnestly to nave the po-
table water bill defeated, and that he
was of the opinion that Mr.. Eggers
had done the same thing.
The city engineer was instructed to
advertise for sealed proposals for the
paving OF Lentz avenue with brick
from Ferry street to Plum Point lane,
under chapter 210, OF the laws of 1905,
known as the Newark paving act.
The money for paving purposes, I'M
der this act, was exhausted some time
ago and since then $780, 900 worth of
street paving has been contracted for
under chapter PIT of the laws of the
same year., known as the Jersey City
paving act, the money for which is
raised by the issuance of a special
temporary loan bond.
In the Newark act the Common
Council appropriates a certain sum fol
the year, and the board is allowed tc
issue temporary loan bonds. not to e
coed the amount appropriated by more
than three times the sum appropriated,

The old fight against the condition of
the Roseville avenue station of the
D., L. and w. Railroad was resumed
when a petition was received from COM
muters stating that, as was the case
last year, there is ne heat in the sta
ton and no supervision, undesirable
characters making the station their
lounging place.
AS a result of the trip of the commits
sioners to Detroit to attend the conven-
ton Of the Municipal Improvement So

in vogue in that city, will be tried here
The. scheme Is to throw water on thu

also a facto,. but after the first few
minutes the market eased off to a lit
