HALL PLAN ADVANCED.
Councilmen Say Municipal Build
ing MAY Be Erected Soon.

Councilman George H. White, of the
East Newark Borough Council, last
night complained at a meeting that
the building and grounds committee
was allowing too much time to be
wasted in the erection of a new mu-
nicipal building in the borough. Coun-
Gilman White contended that such an
edifice was sorely needed and that no
more time should be lost.
Councilman Owen Gillen, chairman
of the committee on buildings and
grounds, although admitting that the
matter had been in the lands of his
committee for the last year, stated that
it had never been taken seriously until
the firemen petitioned for new head
quarters four months ago.

no action was taken; in fact we have
not been able TO decide upon a site for
a new building said Mr.. Gillen.
However, the matter will receive L.
serious consideration at once and at
the January meeting / hope to be able
to make a good report"
