Memorial Buildings

The War Camp Community Service,
which has won for itself SO large a
place in the hearts of the nations
fighters, is already entering upon h
task of carrying forward into peace
times the splendid spirit of fellow
ship 1engendered in the War Camp
cities. AS a definite part of this en-
larged program, there has been Gre
ated a Bureau of Memorial Buildings
to AXE over and expand the work of
the National Committee on Memorial
Buildings. This National Committee,
composed of one hundred repreSen-
tative men and women from all parts
of the country and all walks of life,
now becomes the Advisory Commit
tee on Memorial Buildings of the War
Camp Community Service cooperating
with the new Bureau.
The movement for the erection OF
living tributes, as exemplifed in me-
mortal community houses, is now
firmly established throughout the
country. From reports already re-
ceived, there is evidence thai nearly
two hundred communities have def
nitely decided that their war memoir
ials shall take this new form. Hun
dreds of other cities and towns are
| seriously considering the community
| house in formulating their plans for
commemorating the service of theii
| soldiers and sailors. Through this
| new bureau the Wal Camp Commun-
| ity Service Is publishing a series of
bulletins dealing with the various
phases of memorial community
| buildings. It is laying plans for a ma
tion-wide campaign of publicity
! through the newspapers and maya
zines, and the Bureau serves rs a
clearinghouse of information.
The Wal Camp Community Service
will not assist financially in the &C
tual erection of any of these memoir
ial buildings.

start SURVEY
ON BRIDGE HERE
No Inkling Given AS to Where
the New Span will Be Lo-
Gated Here

Engineers and surveyors OF the
State Highway Department are now
working on a survey in this city,
Woodbridge township and South Am
boy prior to drawing up tentative
plans for the relocation of the South
Amboy-Perth Amboy bridge.
The announcement that the state
is working on the site to be chosen for
the proposed $1,000, 900 structure was
made today by Charles A. Mead, Chief
Engineer of the Division of Bridges
and Grade Crossings of the New Jer-
sey State Public Utility Commission.
Mr.. Mead is in personal charge of
the work here. He stated that 1T was
not possible to say at this time when
actual work of construction on
bridge would begin, the survey being
| entirely of O. preliminary nature. The
bridge when completed will form the
| most imposing link in the new state
| highway quite Number Four.
Route Number -Four will be design
ed to take care of all of the automo-
bile traffic from Newark southwark
along the shore. There are lndlea-
tons tina the approach to he bridge
may be made over the new bridge
over the Lehigh Valley Railroad
tracks at Conyery place. The new
state canal will also enter into the
reckonings of the surveyors on the
other side Of the Raritan River.
The report on the survey now be-
ing conducted here will be used as a
basis for action by the various govern
mental authorities interested. So far
there has been no appropriation by
the state for a new bridge principally
because the county has not coded its
rights to the state, it is said. 1t is
not probable that the bridge will have
any connection with the steam rail-
road system although the trolley COM
pany's rights will have to be taken
into cor liberation. 1t might be that
the present structure would be left
entirely as a trolley trestle and the
new bridge devoted solely to automo-
bile traffic.
1t is understood that the Federal
Government will be interested in the
new bridge principally in order to safe
guard the water rights on the Raritan
river. 1T is at least certain that the
Department will nsu adequate
water ways to and from the ammuni-
ton docks at the arsenal, and 1t Is
probable that the draw in the bridge
win be made Of sufficient capacity to
permit of the increased shipping that
Is expected to come with a widened
and deepened channel proposed.

The real estate situation, as far as
can be ascertained in connection with
sales and transfers, for the past Few
days, has been in a sleepy condition.
Nothing startling nor property of ex-
ceptional value changed hands, al
though the sale of lots on the cor
ner of Madison avenue and Market
street, along with a three story
dwelling on Washington street and a
frame, two story house, on the cor
ner of Rector and Lewis streets,
caused a ripple on the smooth water
of real estate doings.
Big Plot Sold
The plot of land on the corner of
Market street and Madison avenue
was secured through the Hans Niei-
sen Company. Mr.. Nielsen, when
interviewed, refused to disclose the
name of the purchaser or the amount
of money paid, until a later date.
Several other sales have been trans
acted through this company. A three
story dwelling situated at 329 Wash
ington street changed hands. Edwin
Nelson, the former owner, sold the
building to Joseph Ladgak, for a
price, the exact amount of which
would not be stated, but is known to
be up in the five figures.

BUILDING WORK
IN 0THERPLACES
Considerable Activity is Shown
In PiaInheld, Newark and
Other Cities in New Jersey
Newark

NEWARK, July 166Resumption
of business in this construction field,
on a normal scale, in Newark and
surrounding municipalities, is indi-
Gated in the pronounced activity in
affiliated lines. as revealed In a sur
vey OF the architectural and build
ing trades yesterday.
Contrary to the general belief that
the high level of prices reached dur
ing the war were caused by the ex-
t~raordinary demand, prices continue
to maintain their wartime level. Nor
are they likely to experience a drop.
Confronted with these facts n a
realization that h rise in prices
during the raj was not merely the
result of a great demand for goods
and OF a consequent scarcity in GER
tain lines, but brought about more by
the imitation of currency by govern
ments at war buyers, although show
Ing a desire to wait for lower prices
have been compelled to buy to meet
their daily needs. Another factor
that has stimulated building activity
IS that armies of unemployed in the
United States at least, have not ma
terialized and an actual labor short
age is in prospect. Wages are conse-
ouentlv not likely to be lowered and
builders are proceeding on this as
sumption. Even If the production
capacity of industry should be great,
~ Increased, lower prices would moi
necessarily follow.
The present conditions in the build
ing field of Newark. summed up, is
that the business man should proceed
at once on a policy based on an i'm
mediate period of business prosper
1ty. No period of depression need bs
feared.

Build Dock at Newport

By Special CORRESPONDENCE.
KEYPORT, July 17.-The Keyport
Dry Docks company is having a dock
built from their property at the foot
of Prospect street many feet out into
the water. The dock is being built
by placing of scows together and
holding them by piling which has
been driven into place by a large pile
driver which has been at work on
the dock for some weeks past.
The company overhauls and re-
builds many boats and needs the
dock for it's work. Prior to the
building of the above the water front
| was comparatively clear of obstruc-
ton from the yacht club pier to East
Point, the old railroad dock having
