The glorious Fourth of July has come
and gone with its usual chapter of acct
dents from small cannon, toy pistols and
blank cartridges. The emergency corps
were kept busy all day and many victims
were cared for. There were several sad
cases; these in which two boys may lose
their eyes were the worst. Still, with
these lessons nearly every year, it is i'm
possible to stop the small boy from run
ming into the same danger every year.
The manufacture and sale of these dan
gerous playthings should be abolished.
True to their promise, the new park
commissioners had the new flag pole
erected at Seaside Park ON Fourth of July

addition to Seaside Park and vessels in
our vicinity.

81 do not think there are too many
buildings going up on Main street, said
business man in response to a question
from BEE reporter. 'sThere are stores
galore now on Main street, it is true; but
there are few really good ones. The gen.
eral cry among the larger merchants,
those who do business on Main street, is
for larger, finer and better lighted and
more conveniently arranged stores. How
many new buildings are going up on
Main street? The Sanford building I'M
questionably the finest; that is occupied.
The Y. NJ. c. A. and Scientific buildings
are far down Main street. The blocks of
Sanford on Main street at Golden Hill
and of Nichols & Sterling at Chapel and
Congress are good locations. The stores
will be in accordance with modern ideas
and will rent readily. All along Main
street are blocks of stores which are not
in accordance with the wants of the day
and which are inconvenient and ill-ar-
ranged. AS to the offices in some of
these new buildings, possibly they may
not be rented at once; but what of that?
After you buy the land and pay Main
street prices per front foot, you may as
we'll put it up four or six or eight stories;
the air doesn't cost anything, no matter
how high you 60"
