From all indications it will take
many, many years for the builder to
erect sufficient homes to make it pos
sible, for each family in the larger
cities to have the proper housing ia
cilities, and &ith the exception of the
apartment houses the operators do not
rent their new properties. There is
very little encouragement to offer
those who are waiting to rent one
family houses in this section.
Real estate brokers of the Oranges
and Maplewood have very efficient
board of realtors. Each member is
bound by strict code of ethics to deal
fairly with both buyer and seller. The
spirit of cooperation is of the highest
order, which means that person de-
string to locate 4home is given the
benefit of list of all the available
properties, thereby saving him much
time and guaranteeing the utmost sat
isfaction.
The board has given the benefit of
the expert knowledge of it's members
TO the various committees in establish
ing zoning ordinances, which regula-
tlons are enforced for the benefit and
protection of the property owners, as
sur'ng him against the evils of unde-
sirable developments.

labor extortioners and completed the
structure in quicker time than has
ever been recorded before on build

Mr. Weller applied banking methods

Modern Home Paradise in New Jersey Hills
known to Comparatively Few New Workers
By Raymond Connolly
resident, Board Of the Oranges and
MnnIeVooH

f0oNSht, A1V"tu VI tHe ofuiGyco uHu
MdpleW0od
In the hills Of Essex County, about
twelve miles from New York City Hall,
is located a group of highly developed
suburbs known as the Oranges and CON
I-sisting of East Orange, West Orange,
Orange, South Orange and Maplewood.
While these communities have always
enjoyed fine regulations many New
Workers never have had this section
called to their attention, because these
municipalities never have been ex-
plotted or doomed by developing COM
panies nor advertised extensively by
the real estate men.
1t is true many homes have been
erected by building operators, but not
on anything like the large scale which
has been the rule in the Long Island
and Westchester suburbs, nor have
there been any extensive land devel-'
opment schemes. The various munich
palities have always taken the initiative
in improving new sections, with the
specifications by the local engineers, so
that nothing but the best in the way
of type and quality Of sewers, road
paving, sidewalks, etc, was installed.
Many years ago the dirtAstreets dis
appeared, and to-day you will not find
zone single foot OF the many hundreds
of miles of streets unpaved. In fact,
YOU will find every Improvement such
as water, gas, electric light, sewer,
street paving, sidewalk and curb in
stalled in every street throughout the
entire section. You will find every
desired requirement for the health,
~ f,,v nj. nd I'D, nf
the adult and child thoroughly pro-
vided for. You will find handsome
churches of every denominations; you
will find modern schools which stand
high from the structural and educa-
tional standpoint; numerous play
grounds with every attraction, includ-
ing swimming pools, skating ponds,
tennis courts, complete athletic fields
as we'll as the appliances for the
amusement of the real young children.
Golf and country clubs of national
reputation are here, such as the Essex
County Country Club, Baltusrol Golf
South Orange Field Club, having golf
courses ranging from nine to thirty six
holes, with other. country club features.
There are also several county parks,
all being highly developed with the
exception of South Mountain Reserva-
ton, which contains about 5000 acres,
left mostly in it's natural stage except
for many miles of splendid automobile
roads, bride paths and rustic walks.
The whole section is under the care of
highly developed and efficient fire and
police departments.
At the present time the various mu
inequalities have established or are
working on zoning ordinances which
have been compiled by nationally known
zoning specialists. These ordinances
primarily provide protection for the
individual home, as the one-family
house is the predominatng type of
dwelling.
'The City of East Orange has a popu-
lation of $4,000 and contains many two
family and multi-family apartment
houses, having from six to eighty
eight apartments. Some of the newer
buildings are on par with the finest
in New York City, running in value
up to $1,500,000.
