 Of the group of buildings the round house is the most westerly and the most nearly completed be- ing now about .05 9d finished. With in few weeks it will be done en- tirely and ready for use.
 Eastward from the round house a short distance is located a struc- ture 50 X 120 feet in ground di- mensions that will be divided into four shops-copper working, pipe, carpenter and electrical shops. The walls of this structure are we'll advanced, and the steel that will go into construction is all upon the ground.
 Directly north from the four shop building will be the power house, on the site of which the pile driver is sinking now the piles that will support the tall smoke stack which will rear aloft to a height of 125 feet. The method of sinking the concrete piles is we'll worth attention. A great tube four teen inches inside diameter, made from finch steel is fitted with a heavy conical iron shoe, that crowds aside the earth as the tube is driven the depth needed, the tube itself being in joints which permit varying it's length to suit the requirements. When the depth desired is reached the tube Is filled with concrete, which hardens with l in a short time, when the tube is withdrawn, to be fitted with shoe for another sinking; and the pile Is completed, solid column of stone imbedded firmly in the earth to any depth less than twenty-four feet. The dimensions of the power house will be S7x105 feet. When completed there will be installed therein a full and complete equip ment for generation of electric power that will be transmitted to all parts of the plant, wherever re- quired.
 South of the four.shop building and abreast of it, as is the power house on the north, will be located small structure 40x70 feet in dimensions, which will be devoted to office purposes and storage of stationery.
 Northward from the power house are to be erected foundry, a structure 7Ox1O0 feet; a pattern storage building 45x55 feet; and a train dispatchers' office building, 45x75 feet. All of those are yet to be commenced.
 Eastward from the four-shop building is the machine and erect ing shop, which will be 12Sx264 feet. The foundations for this structure are finished and the steel joists, girders, etc., are upon the l ground ready for assembling. The contractors for its erection are ex- pected to come at any time to carry forward it's construction Not far away, resting upon strong platform, and awaiting completion of the building are the great lathes, drill presses and other ponderous and powerful machines that are to be installed and operated therein.
 Directly south of the machine shop and abreast herewith is the store house and oil house, a struc- ture 42x61 feet. This building is the most advanced of any, and will

Ing lad.
 Eastward from the mac hine shop will be the blacksmith and boiler shop, a structure of the same di- mensions (128x264 feet). The foundations are ready for the steel erection. Next eastward from the blacksmith and boiler house will be erected long building, 50x200 feet, that will be for storage of material for that shop.
 The building next ad djacent will be the paint shop, a square build ing 160x160 feet on the ground plan. Between that and the car shop, the next building in the series, will be located the transfer table. for the transfer of the com pleted cars to the paint shop, where they will receive the finish ing touches.
 The next structure in the series, the car shop, a building 220x155 feet, will be three-shop structure, viz: cabinet and pattern shop, car repair shop and car wheel shop. It will be building 220x155 feet over all.
 The mill building, in which will be installed the planers and other wood working machinery, is the next building eastward, and the last in the series. The structure is 624x1564 feet in dimensions. It is now about half completed. The station buildings, plans for which have not been received as yet, will be located near the bay shore about 1900 feet west of the roundhouse.
 Northwest from the roundhouse are located half dozen commodi- ous cottages for the homes of off cials and employees, to :, hich there will be added shortly a dozen others, that will flank the shops on the north. Each building is square, surrounded upon all sides by a broad porch, and the interior em- braces four large, well lighted rooms and a bath room, closets, etc. The half dozen completed now were built of adobe, plastered. Those yet to be built will be of concrete, but will follow the sane general plan.
 Upon the south side of the town, over toward the bay shore, are located the quarters for the use of the day laborers, of which there are and will be employed constantly a large force. At present they are occupying temporary quarters Cat least in part, for the most of them are in the new ouildings), made of ties. Of the new buildings three are completed, two others are approaching completion, and two more are to be built. They are long buildings, built of adobes, with flat roofs and projecting porches, each having quarters for a number of families. Between the building and the track are being constructed five washing houses, with cement floors, where laundry work is to be done and permitted nowhere else A faucet supplies each with water and the concrete floor slopes to the edge of long concrete gutter which conducts the water that has been used to a sunk ken cess pool about a thousand feet away-an arrange ment that will be appreciated by all who have ever observed the filthy condition of the surroundings oI many such quarters owing simply l T I

MARSHAL AND HIS GUN
IN NORTH ARLINGTON ROW
Reipe Has to Pull Weapon to
Keep Infuriated Man from
Breaking in House.

Marshal Frederick Reipe, of North
Arlington. had to draw his revolver on
Thomas Mullen, a resident of the Dor
ough, yesterday before the latter would
submit to arrest. Mullen, who is said
TO have been intoxicated, and inciden-
tally the first one to be in that condi-
ton in the North Arlington Borough In
-four years, threatened to kill Council
man Daniel Mccarthy, SO it is said.
Mullen. who vas employed by. Will
lam Meyer, Il farmer. led one of his
employers horses to the watering
trough yesterday, and, because the
animal did not leave the trough q o
enough, Mullen, it is said, procured a
large club and proceeded to belabor
the beast.
Councilman Mccarthy, whose proper
ty is near the Meyer farm, saw Mullen
beating the equine and hurried out to
stop him. Mullen, it Is charged, turned
on the official and told him. he would
cave his head in with the club. Nc
earthly, knowing that Mullen is a dam
gerous man when under the influence of
liquor, started for home with Mullen in
pursuit.
The councilman won and slammed
the door in Mullen's face. The latter
became enrased at this and proceeded
to batter his way in. McCarthy's aged
parents, who a little over a week ago
were injured when an automobile
struck their carriage and have since
been confined to their beds, heard the
noise and became badly, frightened
Their son told them what was going
on and Mrs. Mccarthy almost col
lapsed.
The councilman stole out of The
house by another door and rode a
bicycle in all haste to the home IF
Marshal Reipe. Reipe hailed a passing
automobile and rode with all haste 10
the Mccarthy home, where he found
Mullen still hainmering' atsthe door.
Throw up your hands, commanded
the marshal, but Mullen refused, and
with the rush of an experienced foot
ball player charged upon North Ar
lington's police force which side
stepped and pushed his u under the
nose or the aggressor. The WEAPON
was too much for Mullen and he gate
in. Reipe put the gun hack in his
pocket and Mullen began to fight. but
he was quickly handcuffed and taken
to the borough lookup. ,~bt.
Recorder Bayliss today sent Mullen
to the county Jail at Hackensack fof
thirty days. =.
