is second to zone in the United States
as those who have attempted to intro
luce new files and other time-sayine
methods will testify.
On account of the inclement weather
this week building operations hav'
been almost at a %standstill. Yet a triI
among the architects of Newark
Bloomfield, Montclair and the Oranges
proves that the majority of them arr
busily engaged drawing plans fol
dwellings, that will positively be erected
in the near future.
Building inspectors are overrun TO
permits for alterations on old dwelling
and stores. The general opinion o.
those connected with the building de
partment is that as soon as this dis
agreeable weather has passed and sun
shine gladdens our eyes, the long de
layed work will commence in earnest
and with a rush.
To supply the present demand fol
Lwo-family houses in the suburbs WORT
must start very soon. 1t must be takei
into consideration that so many WHIT
