BAYONNE'S NEW PARK
Strip of the Cadmus Estate
On Newark Bay
Values Doomed.

The officials of the City of Bayonne
have bright eye open for the best inter-
ests of their city. They have watched
the rapid but healthy growth of Bergen
Point as place Of residence for 9
wealthy class of people and business men
of New York, and have now determined,
by adding TO the beauty of their city, and
Offering inducements to Weather class,
to catch some of the overflow of New
York.
Bayonne is building up rapidly and
valuable tracts of property, whic b have
for years been unimproved, have been
sold to spectators, and with the opening
of spring it is highly probable that Say
onne will experience lively bullc1ng
boom. The city is near New York. Ii
has several depots on the Central Raj +
road. The carriage drives through and
about the city are passable, but pubic
buildings and grounds are scarcity.
Believing that the establishment OF
public park would be beneficial to the
city and enhance the value of real estate.
the officials have purchased plot of
ground and intend converting IL into
public pleasure ground.
