Scope and ContentThis collection item is a single-page 1908 3-year lease between the First National Bank of Millburn and the Township of Millburn, for three rooms on the second floor of the 'bank building' on the southeast corner of the intersection of Millburn Avenue and Main Street, at 340 Millburn Avenue. The document specifies the lease of rooms five, six, and seven on the second floor. The rent agreed to was $375 per year, starting on January 1, 1909 and payable quarterly. The lessee agreed to build a "plat-form and railing in room No. 7" and to furnish heat, janitor service, use of the toilet and water therein, fixtures for electric lighting, and screens for windows "during the summer months." The document is signed by John B. Bunnell (cashier), Milton R. Silance (township clerk), Henry S. Acken (township committee chairman) and William Flemer (president of First National Bank of Millburn). According to an April 17, 1925 (Bridgewater) Courier-News obit for Mr. Flemer, he was "one of the founders and only president of the First National Bank of Millburn and a nurseryman for his entire business life." The lease has two metal staples attaching it to a larger, blue, support paper (all sprayed with deacidification spray) and came in a manila envelope labeled with the following inked handwritten note: "Lease between The First National Bank of Millburn Township and The Township of Millburn, N.J." There is a red "95" stamped on the right top corner of the front of the envelope. There is overall soiling on both sides of the envelope, which has also been sprayed with Bookkeeper deacidification spray. The lease has four evenly-spaced horizontal fold lines and a raised embossed seal in the lower left corner. There is a 1/8" rusty-looking round mark at the far right, under the word "in" in the first line of text.
