MAY 29, 1936. HOUSING SCEfiE; Building Boom Is Controlled In Metuchen EDITOR'S NOTE: This it tht third in a series of stories con coming the construction of new homes in the twin-county area. METUCHEN Almost every vacant lot in the 2.8 square mile area of the borough of Metuchen is now occupied by residents. The growing pains of housing developments have been felt by the borough but to a much lesser degree than its neighboring communities. Reason for this is that the growth area of Metuchen was small to start with, and the type of development that did take place in the borough was for higher priced homes.

Where developments in a neighboring township may run to 500 or 1,000 homes, those in Metuchen will have approximately 80 homes to a building project. The first multiple-unit postwar building in Metuchen was Victory Court at the north end of Main Street. The homes were row type housing. I Needed by Veterans Permission was given to put up the homes because of the tremendous need for housing for veterans immediately after World War II. But after that the borough's governing body gave no further permission for this type of construction.

The next development in Metuchen was 20th Century Homes, constructed in 1946 at the end of Wood-bridge Avenue. "Metuchen was fortunate to have a reputable builder who developed this section," said Walter C.

In 1954 the land subdivision ordinance was passed. These two laws gave the Borough Council the final word on all new building. Thus with the Planning Board as advisor, the council has had complete control over all developments since then. Under this control developments such as Clive Hills, North View, Acres, Beacon Hills, Nancy Village and Turner Village have been con-! structed. I The demand for housing in Metuchen has grown so that where the vacant land areas were too small for developments, individual homes have gone up.

These are controlled by the land subdivision ordinance. Duplexes Banned In 1948 the twin house, or duplex, Baby Doll Pajamas, a It length and shortie gowns. Solids and prints. 34-40. Street Floor All Steel COCKTAIL TABLES 1 cc Ladies' Broadcloth Cotton BLOUSES Reg.
