BREAK GROUND FOR
MONTCLA|R'S HALL.
Site for 500, 900 Municipal
Building Was Selected 20
Years Ago.

Ground was broken yesterday att
ernoon for the $1,000 municipal
building to be erected on the north
east corner of Bloomfield avenue and
Valley road, Montclair. e. NJ. Wal
dron & Co, of this city. are the con-
tractors, and o. F. Semsch, of 1873
Montclair avenue, Montelair, is the
architect.
The plot of ground on which the
building is to be erected was pur-
chased by the old Township Commit
tee of Montclair, for the purpose for
which it is now to be used, more than
twenty years ago. The action of the
committee in it's choice of a site vas
condemned on all sides, the claim be-
ing that it was too far out of town.
The objections we're so strong that
the committee abandoned the prof.
ect.
Every year since Montclair was in
corporated as a town the matter of
a site for a municipal building has
been considered. Many sites were
proposed. to all of which objections
were made. In the meantime the
business section has grown to the
north, and the site that twenty years
ago was considered out of town has
become the true centre of the town.
The Council decided to wait no
longer and it utilizing the site that
the far-seeing members of the old
Committee had chosen.

CLUBS SUPPORT
MAY CAUSE ROW
Arlington G. 0. P. Organization
Endorses Councilman Bryan
for Reelection.

With three of its members seeking
the Republican nomination for coun-
Gilman the Third Ward Republican
Club, of Arlington, last night de-
cided to centre it's support on Coun-
Gilman Daniel d. Bryan, who seeks
to be returned to the council. The
contention made was that it is good
custom TO recognize a mar who has
already given faithful service and
who sought another term.
Health Commissioner Frank Oden-
dahl and John Cameron, who are also
affiliated with the club. are the other
candidates for the nomination.
Friends of both are actively engaged
in their behalf and promise a rat
ting time in the G. o. P. ranks in
the Third ward on election day. IT
limited today that the action of
the club last night in indorsing Mr..
Bryan may cause some friction.
The club took no action regarding
an annual outing of the town Repub-
lioan clubs. To the split in the ma
tional ticket was ascribed the cause
for lukewarmness in the matter of
the outing. The committee appointed
to make arrangements was discharged
with thanks.
1t was decided to hold a eucllre
party some time in November. Eight
new members were elected.

ences with East Orange which nave
proven costly to him. Last night he
complained to the water board of that
city thai the operations of the city
near his farm resulted in the water
level in the well on his property
going far below the standard and he
asked that the board dig a new we'll
for him to replenish the supply. En-
gineer Arthur A. Reimer : was in
structed to investigate.
Today Faulkner was a prisoner be-
fore Recorder Francis A. Mott, jr.,
on a complaint that he had worked
a horse which needed the attention
of a veterinary. He was arrested by
Chief Agent Lewis c. Teed, of the
s. p. C. A., and was fined $25 and
costs of 1850.
The farmer sighed as he thought

city and after getting a check
