WORK NORMAL
ON BUILDINGS
Brighter Prospects for Flu
tura--PIanS Under Way.

Building work continues normal
with brighter prospects for the i'm
mediate future. Arhcitects and
builders have little new work to re-
port this week, but that reported
the past few weeks is keeping near
ly all hands busy. Plans are being
completed every now and then, and
as fast as produced they are for
warded to contractors for estimates
that the work be rushed.
Ground at the southeast corner
OF State and Centre streets has been
broken for the erection of a modern
store and Office structure, to be con-
structed of brick. The old frame
structure which formerly occupied
the premises, has been removed to
Commerce street.
Bids were received Thursday for
a ned residence to be erected in this
city for Mrs. G. T. Benton, in ac-
cordance with plans and speciica-
lions prepared by J. n. Pierson &
Son. Bids were received yesterday
for a new residence, to be erected
for Cortlandt r. Carrier, in Sewaren,
in accordance with plans and specif-
cations prepared by the same archi-
tects. The contracts will probably
be awarded today.
Estimates are being received to-
day for the new residence to be
erected by G. Hh Davidson at
Hightstown. There are several local
bidders. The plans and specifca-
tons were made by J. N. Pierson &

WILL AFFECT
REAL ESTATE
New Central Trade Body
VIII Cause Activity.

With the present movement for
the forming of a central board OF
trade body for the promotion Of this
section of the state, the factory site
proposition will form more or less
OF a prominent figure. One of the
main objects of the organization will
be to locate new industries in this
vicinity and the real estate brokers
of the county will be asked to join
IN the proposition and assist in the
movement.
1t Is proposed to get out a sort OF
q booklet showing the different local
tiles in the county adapted to manu-
f~acturers, showing the different
sites, prices, location, etc, with data
as to water, transportation and
other facilities. Advertisements are
contemplated showing the advan-
tages of this section for manufactur-
ing purposes.
A central secretary will probably
handle all inquiries and mail copies
Of the booklet to those seeking in
formation. This information will be
secured mainly from the real estate
brokers who in turn are to be com
2ensated when sales are made, The
proposition is in embryo form at the
present time and will be perfected
upon the formation of the trade
board central organization.

At Montpelier, Vermont, Mr.. M. s..

At Hartford, Conn, the State
Parliament Is now considering a law
concerning the Introduction of Es-
peranto into the public schools. In
relation to this, the Committee of In
struction spent an hour in hearing
about the language. Nothing def

opinion concerning Esperanto was
most favorable.
Mrs. G. s. Valentine gave a talk
at Ridgewood, N. j., which was at
