ESSEX FEELS HALL
WELL UNDER WAY
Enterprising Borough to Have
a Fine Municipal
Building.

Work is now well under way for
the construction of the municipal
building in Essex Fells 1t is just
twenty-five years since the land on
which the building is TO be located
was secured for development. 1t is
expected the building will be COM
pleted in September.
The building will be Elizabethan in
style, with a frontage of forty-two
feet on Roseland avenue, and a depth
of twenty-seven feet. There will be
quarters for the fire department and
| it will afford greater facilities for
borough purposes. The first floor will
be arranged to accommodate the police
station and recorders court. the
mayors office and an additional room
for the collector. assessor and other
| municipal officers.
The entire space on the second floor
will be used as a council room, with
small committee room in the tower,
! separated by folding doors which can
be thrown open to constitute one
large room. 1t will have an old
fashioned fireplace. rough hewn
beamed ceiling and lighted by dormer
windows and a large triple window
on the north.
The trim on all interior work will
be of the simplest old English design
of Southern chestnut stained a dull
brown, with lighting fixtures of oxi-
died iron.
In considering the location of the
site for a borough hall, the Council
was not compelled to consider the cost
,, of land, as it was given for the pur-
pose by the trustees of the estate or
Anthony j. Drexel. who was largely
interested in Essex Fells property and
its developments.
The plot selected has been used for
many years as public park and is
one of the attractive features of the
locality A brook which flows through
| the plot is crossed by rustic bridge
Under the terms of the deed the plot
is to be maintained for a park and
one municipal building.

John M. Rhodabeck, erstwhile Will

Mr.. Rhodabeck said he was going
