BUILDING SLOW
FOR THE WEEK
Only One Architectural Firm
Has Anything to Report.

Architects and builders are inter-
ested in erection Of a proposed Y. NJ.
c. A. building in this city. They
want all the work to remain in this
city and desire that it be awarded to
the lowest bidders on their merits.
There is a general belief hat stock
plans and specifications, such as are
used for most Y. M. G.. A. structures,
will be used here.
Architects John H. Dayton and c..
Howard Smith have plans under way
for additions to the Phoenix Ceramic
Company's plant on the line of the
Lehigh Valley railroad between
Fords and Metuchen. They will give
details In a few days.
The same architectural firm has
prepared plans and specifications for
a store and dwelling house for John
Ziayka and for a one-family addition
to a house for John A. Miller. The
former proposes to erect a two-story
building Of brick construction with
terra Gotta trimmings to match. 1t
will be 24x40 feet in size and will
be erected at Penn and Meredith
streets. The structure will | be
equipped with electric and gas light
ing systems and a steam heating ap-
paratus. John A. Miller intends to
double the size of his one-family
frame house at 1877 Kearny avenue.
The addition will be 21x42 feet in
size and will be equipped with most
modern improvements. The contract
will probably be awarded the early

party. He frankly intrusts the move
ment to the best white men Of the

He attributes the recent split in the
Republican party to the dominance Of
negroes over the party in the southern
stateA He says II would be "criminal'
for the Progressive party to try to
build itself up in those states by the
same methods which. continued for
forty-fve years, have made the Repub-
ican party worse than impotent."
GAN that could possibly result from
such action says the colonel. would
be to create another little corrupt fac

had to be paid and whose votes some

He hopes the negro will get justice
eventually, but says justice is impossi.

that negro delegates from northern

ton and says that in those states the

REAL ESTATE
ACTIVE WEEK
Quick Sales Noted in Bust
ness Section of City.

Another active week has been re-
ported in the real estate world and
many are wondering when the quick
sales will ever cease. The agents
have found a ready market during
the past few days, and have disposed
of a number of attractive bargains
at almost fancy prices. The i'm
proved property in the heart OF the
city moved with equal speed to the
choice building lots in the suburbs,
which are rapidly becoming the feat
ure of every weeks news in the local
real estate world. Handlers of this
kind of property are more than elat-
ed over the showing during the past
six months.
There has been much favorable
comment on the increase in taxable
ratables in Perth Amboy, when the
$19,O00,0O0 was passed without
even an "adieu." The dealers assert
that it not only indicates the growth
Of the city in the outlying districts,
, but the assessors realization OF the
jump in property values in the heart
of the business section. AS generally
accepted, these figures do not indi-
cate the rock bottom wealth OF the
local land values, as the assessments
have been made with a view to fair
ness and not to inHict burdens.
Much speculation can be heard on
the final disposition of the Wonder
land beach tract In the southwestern
section of the city, as it is n of the
few remaining tracts, centrally locat-
ed, which is u~ndeveloped. The Cath
Ollie hospital idea appears to be fav-
orable to many, although the agents
have not forgotten hat 1t would be
a wonderful" site for an industry.
