THE WOMANS MUNIC; PAL IMPROVE
MENT ASSOCIATION.

A NEW ORGANIZATION TO PROMOTE THE CLhAN-
Illness OF THE sTREETs-oPENING OF THE
EMMANUEL REFORMED CHURCH TO-DAY
The Womans Municipal Improvement Associa-
ton has been organized in Newark on the plan OF
the successful womans organization In Montclar.
to make a crusade upon street nusances and dis
fgurements The associations territory has for its
centre Court and High SITS. but it is expected that
similar societies will be started in all sections OF
the city to make the work of improving the condi-
ton of the streets general in Newark
There was special for the new movement
in the condition Of Court-st one OF the broadest
thoroughfares in the CITY, The street has only been
visited once in the last year by the city sweepers.
Then there is the careless overlooking OF garbage,
cans and boxes with kitchen refuse. coal. ashes,
paper and every kind OF waste. which finds Its way
10 the sidewalk gutter. Complaint Is also made
of servants and housekeepers who deliberately
throw paper, fruit parlngs and other waste upon
the sidewalk and into the little parks in the centre
of the street AS means of reform. n number of
the residents got together and fixed upon fences
and telegraph poles notices calling attention 10 ex-
tracts from city ordinances. One of these notices
reads
| Your attention is called to the fact that many
| persons in violation of law sweep the dust, dirt
and refuse OF their stores and dwellings into the
refuse upon the sidewalks and the street, or open
packages of merchandise on the sidewalk, or snake
| carpets, rugs or mats, that the dust from the
| same falls into the street. So long as these prac-
tees continue Il Is impossible to secure the proper
cleanliness of the streets
These efforts failed and it was then decided to
call a meeting of women living in that section OF
the city. The meeting was held last Tuesday after
roon the leading city officials having been invited
to attend. Mayor-elect Seymour and Commissioner
Joralemon who is chairman OF the Committee on
Streets and Highways of the Board OF Works, were
present as well as many women residents Of Court
and adjoining streets among whom were Mrs IL.
+. Osborne. Mrs w II. Everett. Mrs Charles d.
Williams Mrs Frederick Reynolds Miss Isabelle
Coo, Miss Anna Dunning. Mrs. John r. Weeks.
Mrs. Charles Weeks. Mrs. Wallheiser and Mrs. l..
X. Dyott
The whole situation discussed Commissioner
Joralemon making suggestions which he said the
| city authorities could carry out. These included
| the watering OF the streets trimming the park
grass and keeping the sidewalks In better repair
| 1t was unanimously voted to organize perma-
nent association. Mrs. w. II. Everett Of No. lT
| Court-st. elected president: Mrs III. f. Os-
borne. OF No. So Court-st.. was elected secretary,
and Mrs. Gottfred Kruger. OF Highest, treasurer
and a committee. comprising Mrs. c. {. Hine and
the officers. appointed to draft constitution
and bylaws 1t was suggested that the committee
confer with representatives. OF other societies. Many
OF the people interested in the movement volun-
| teercd financial aid. including Gottfried Kruger
whose home In High-st. overlooks the entire length
of Court-st
The following plan OF campaign decided upon
FIrst-The distribution OF a circular. and the plac-
ing OF cars and barrels the curb at various In
teryas as recoptaces for the waste and refuse that
would otherwise be deposited on the sidewalks
