Each passing day secs the new Jaffa mosque, Broad a.venue and -second street, nearer completion.

The grounds, originally filled to aL considerable depth when used as A public park and playground when loaned to the city and civic associations by the Lloyd estate, former owners, were badly cut up when the bullding program was in progress.

The landscape architects who laid out the grounds planned the arrangement to be. when completed, a model of beauty and already one can gain some idea. what it will look like when completed.

Of course it has been too dry to get gruss slarted but this will come fast once the rains begin to fall and it will be no time until the greensward will make a setting for the building that will enhance the looks to very considerable degree. The sidewalk on the Broad avenue side, laid double the width of the old walk, is completed except at the corners of Twenty-second and Twentythird streets where 8 delay was occasioned by some difference of thought concerning the probable widening of the thoroughfares. Now, however, it has been decided to let the streets be as they arc. The corners of the streets are being rounded off, new curbs installed and when that is finished the walks will be completed. It was finally decided that it would not be necessary to widen the thoroughfares for the reason that all parkling in connection the mosque wIll be done on the space provided for that purpose at rear of the mosque.

There is a wide driveway entering the grounds at the front of the structure, splitting as approaches the plaza and each driveway continuing 011 around building to the parking space at the rear. Within the building, the frescoers have been working steadily until now that feature of the work is well under way. The auditorium where 3,200 seats are to be installed and where 1,100 chairs can be placed to occommodate the crowds, 'is nearly finished. The steps are now being installed. Everything will be entirely completed when Sept.
