attracted a large crowd of interested
spectators, who listened to three in
teresting addresses by State Senator
William B. Mackay, J. w. Binder, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Mackay Hud-
son River Bridge Association, and
Mayor Edward A. White of Fort Lee.
1t is estimated that during the after
noon and evening over 5000 persons
inspected the beautiful new home.
Many local people were among those
present, and hundreds of New York
and Hudson county cars were parked
in the vicinity while the occupants
were making a tour of inspection.
The ceremonies started promptly
at 8 p. m. with most appropriate
address of welcome by Mayor White,
whose talk was followed by an ad-
dress by J. w. Binder. Mr. Binder
told of the real meaning of home in
all countries among all people and
then devoted the balance of his dis
course to the Hudson river bridge.
Senator Mackay was the main
speaker, and after paying tribute to
the Jersey Observer and the Eypper
e Beckmann organization for their
enterprise in erecting a fine home
like the one in question spoke briefly
of his work in connection with the
Hudson river bridge. He expressed
the opinion that the bridge would
very soon be a reality and the real
construction work would be started.
Following his address the senator
was presented with the key to the
front door by G. j. Redmond, an il
Illuminating engineer from the Public
Service Electric Company, with which
he opened the door and bade the
waiting throng to enter. Thousands
many pleasant things to say about the
home.
In the evening flood lights played
upon the building, and it was very

of Sunday night motorists passing
along the busy avenue.
