Special Correspondence of Gazette and journal
NEWARK, Aug. 30.-Since the Knautf
organ works have become an assured GER
tainty for Newark every one has awak-
ened to the fact that Newark is at present
too small place TO accommodate such q
large industry, together with it's attaches,
40. In other words, there is not SUIT
ficient empty houses in the town TO
domicile one-elghth of the number OF
men which il is contemplated the factory
will require in its work. This future ex-
iSency presented itself to your CORE
spondent and search was At cnce insti-
tuted for vacant houses available to rent
to the small army OF people which the
new factory will bring to the town.
A casual examination Of the town
shows not more than half dozen houses
for rent within the limits of Newark.
This will BIS astounding to most
people here, for it Yves the general
Impression that the town was half
full OF vacant houses since the
wooden mill fire OF 1886. Soon after this
event such was the case and probably
theirs were more than 40 untensnted
honses. A reaction came later and ever
siuce the population has been slowly in
creasing until nov it seems to have fully
recovered its full quota of inhabitants.
This pGucity OF houses becomes quite
alarming when it is understood thai prob
ably two hundred more people will have
to be provided with homes, and there
seems at present to be no capitalist who
ia willing to start building boom N
Newark. Sueh contingency was never
locked for by NewarkeTs six months ago,
but the last two months have wrought
great prospective changes in the town,
that time having elapsed since Mr.. knauf
answered the advertisements of the Board
of Trade OF Newark, which held ont
such inducements TO new enterprises to
! locate in the town.
A very charming impromptu enter,
tainment was arranged lnst evening
among the summer guests It Linden
Hall, near the old p, W. Il b.
station. It consisted o. masic and
singing by Edward Ilmmermsn Of
