r. l.. Kilby, general sales manager of

Gated at Mountain Lakes near Boonton.
y. j., said last week that the majority
or the homes to be erected this year will
contain from seven to eleven rooms. the
former costing about 5000 and the latter
sl5,0OO. These houses are in various styles
OF architecture, typical examples of which
are printed herewith.
"All Of the houses will be built of the
best materials" said Mr.. Kilby. "They
VIII be constructed in a workmanlke
manner and there will be no 'skimping,'
so that construction costs may be shaded.

at least 100 feet frontage in the street

the case of the small estate section, the

the case may be.
The company maintains it's own build

constantly about six hundred men on the
