IS
HIT BY BOOMLET
Ten Buildings Being Erected on
Myrtle Avenue--Municipal
Structure Proposed.

Building Inspector Charles A. Ven
ner, of Bloomfield, sees a busy sum-
mer ahead in the building line Real
estate men claim that there is a
dearth in two-family houses; that
such buildings are rented as fast as
completed.
The Improvement of Myrtle avenue,
in the northern section of town, by
the Board of Freeholders has caused
boom in that section. Ten build
ings are now in the course of erec-
ton there, and it is expected that
twenty more will be erected on that
thoroughfare before the end of the
year.
Mayor William Hauser is advocat-
ing the erection of a new municipal
building, to cost about 100000 on
the plot of ground at the corner of
Broad and Liberty streets, which the
town recently purchased at cost of
81 900. The several departments of
the town government are now located
in the Bloomfield National Bank
building, which is inadequate for the
increased business of the town.
Mayor Hauser is having plans pre-
pared for a new dwelling on Franklin
street, which he intends to occupy
A few dwellings are being erected on
Llewellyn avenue and Evergreen ave-
nue., in the southern section of the
town. During the past twelve months
buildings costing s642, 600 were erected
in Bloomfield, and it is thought that
the building operations during the
present year will be larger.
| In Glen Ridge building has fallen
off considerably. A few lots have
| recently been sold for improvement
and builders generally speak hope
fully of an increase in the number of
| buildings this year
