BUILDING TRADE NOTES..

The Ward-Gehin Company has con.
eluded a lease on the plot No. Z Banl
street, opposite the Prudential build
ing, n will break ground today fol-
the erection of a building which they
will occupy for their general insurance
agency and as managers for the Fidel-
ity and Deposit Company, of Maryland
removing from their present offices In
the Prudential building.
The use of this piece of ground marks
the passing of one of the last reminders
of the old days when 1t was consid-
cred necessary to leave at least a part
of ones holding unimproved except for
a bed of old-fashioned flowers or a
patch of grass, and many of our older
citizens will doubtless remember this
little garden in the rear of the "Old
Newark Bank" when Bank street har-
bored the gas office, the original Wiss
establishment, the town time-keeper,
Dennis's bookstore and other land
marks once located where the Pruden-
tial building now stands.
Work on the new school of st. Rose
of Lima is progressing very rapidly.
During the past few days conditions
in the building lines showed quite some
improvement, and now that we will
have much more settled weather the
prospects for more new buildings and
increased work in all ines can be looked
for.
The American Concrete Steel Com
pany is pushing the 10000 warehouse
in Montclair for E. E. Leach to early
completion.
The Oranges are taking the lead in
erecting two and three family homes.
It's the rule, and not the exception,
there, to erect from four to six dwell
ings at one time, at a cost of five to
six thousand dollars per house. It's
booming in the Oranges, all right.
August Bevensee, painter and deco
rator, is finishing up two large CON
tracts, one on Clinton avenue and the
other on Springfield avenue, this city.
The building inspector at Montclair
is overworked granting permits for al
t%erations on old dwellings,. Building
is on the increase and work will be "a
| plenty.
Excavation on the Cedar street and
| Watching avenue schools has begun.
Laying the foundations will be in or
der within a week.
Braun & Chamberlain, decorators,
of East Orange, are rushing the work
on the State Normal School at Upper
Montclair.
Glen Ridge. N. j., is without a build
ing inspector, and should you decide
to build there no objection or r~estric-
tions shall be placed on you. While 1t
is strange that such is the case, as
Glen Ridge is known to be a very Sc
lect little hamlet, yet it's true that
some very u~nsightly buildings have
been erected there lately. to the detri-
ment of Glen Ridge and it's property
owners.
The Parker Building and Construc-
ton Company is nov fairly settled in
their new quarters, 40 Lafayette street,
! this city.

movement TO prevent further
spread of tuberculosis and to
spread the knowledge of meth

several weeks ago at the sugges-

tary of the State Board of
Health.
AT the meeting a permanent or
ganization was effected to be
known as the Kansas branch of
the national organization and
of which most of the leading
health officials in the state will
take part. It had been predicted
by both Governor Hoch and Sec
rotary Crumbine that there would
be a heavy attendance at this
meeting, but nothing like the
crowd that appeared when the
meeting was called to order, was

COUNTS ON
UNCLE SAM
IN STRUGGLE FOR
PACIFIC

Melbourne, Sept. 17.-Pro-Ameri-
canism is the. dominant note In the
Australian federal session, which
opened here yesterday.
The entire country is convinced
that the United States fleets recent
visit inaugurated a kind of unofficial
alliance between Australia and the
great American republic. In the
white and yellow struggle which so
many Australians deem invitable for
the control Of the Pacific. It is the
general conviction that Americans
and Australians will fight side by
side.
Dissat!cfeH IS the majority of the
lawmakers are with the Angle-Japa-
nese alliance, there is every indica-
tion in fact, that their deliberations
will be distinctly unfriendly In tone to
the home government.
Many OF the members are under
stood to be prepared to argue that 1t
was practically useless for the col
ony to prepare FOR war, alone, but
that. with American assistance as
sured. they maintain, there is every
rea1on to count of the maintenance
Of white domination in Oceanica, pro-
v,ded the white men are ready and
armed to fight In their own defense.
The cabinet is doing its utmost to
keep unfrlendly references to the
mikado out OF the debates, but that
such references can be prevented
when the time comes to discuss tho
discretion of an independent Aus
trallan navy and the strengthening
OF the country's land force, Is more
than doubtful.
In the face OF these considerations
and the war OF oratory. the ques-
tlons OF selecting a site for the fed
eral capital and legallzlng the new
protective duties. have shriveled into
lnsignlilance.
Ever since the great welcome given
the Yankee sailor here aud the OK
chrnge % eyY~e-s'n-s between the
officials OF this country and the off,
GERS OF the fleet. as well as the cor
dial messages sent TO Australia by
President Roosevelt. there has been
n constant discussion of prospective
Observation-Disclosures alliance for the
maintenance OF the white Pacific"
