PUSHING WORK.

Work is being pushed rapidly on the
foundations of the new Commercial
League Cooperation building on At
lantic street. A large gang of men are
working on the excavations ard filling
in the concrete for the fou undations of
the walls.
The building will be an immense
structure, extending from Atlantic
street entirely across the lot to the
wharf. A heavy, broad and deep con-
crete bed is being laid for the founda-
tion walls TO rest upon, which will
give ample stability to the structure.
The purpose is to rush the building to
completion as speedily as possible.

COUNTY BUILDING
NEARLY COMPLETE
Little Work for Contractor
Hankins Now.
FINISHING TOUCHES.
The Decorations to Be Done Will
Finish the Handsome County
Structure.

There is scare a week of active
work is left to be done upon the Coun-
ty Building by Contractor Harry
Hankins. With the exception of some
finishing touches here and there about
the structure, the hanging of the OUT
side doors and the placing of some of
the hardware, the contract of Harry
H. Hankins is practically complete.
Within the past five days all of the
floors have been planed down, the
painters are finishing rubbing down
the painting upon the woodwork, and
there is nothing to be accomplished
beyond the decoration of the walls
and ceilings, and the furnishing of the
various rooms.
1t is quite likely that within cou-
pie of weeks painting contractor B.
B. Ware will begin his work. 1t will
require probably six weeks for him to
complete his contract. Then the
building will be thoroughly cleaned
and the carpets and furnishings put
in, and the building will be ready for
occupancy.
The September term of Cumberland
Courts will not be held in the new
County building. That is assured.
1t is quite certain that the structure
will be ready for use about the mid
die of October. 1t is understood that
the Board of Chosen Freeholders will
arrange to have the County Offices oc-
cupied as soon as possible, and the
building will be in general use long
before there will be a regular term
of Court held there.
With the building occupied as
planned, there will be a combination
of all the county officials under a
single roof. The sheriff will move
from the jail office, which is wholly
inadequate for the purpose of sher-
iff. The County Clerk will have the
first floor of the East Commerce street
building, and the Surrogate will give
up the second floor quarters of the
Commerce street structure. The
County School Superintendent will
give up his desk room in the law
Offices of County Solicitor Roscoe C..
Ward, and County Collector Ed. P.
Bacon will change his Office from the
rear of the hardware store of D.
Bacon & Son. The County Tax Board
office will be changed from the Sec
ond floor of the Pioneer building and
the County Prosecutor will have a
splendid apartment in the new struc-
ture.
AS soon as civil engineer Walter M.
Sharp completes plans and specifica-
tions, advertisements will be made
for proposals for the concrete walks
and curbing about the County proper
ty. Then will be shown the practical
finishing touches of the enterprise.
