AFTER THE NORTH HUDSON.
Property Owners Want 1t to Pave
Central Avenue Property.

The property owners along Central ave-
nue., from Congress street to Paterson
Plank Road. which is being paved. have
sent a remonstrance to the Street and
Water Commissioners complaining against
the North Hudson County Railroad Com
pany for using small paving blocks in
paving between the car tracks. Accord
ing to law the company is obliged to
pave that part of the street with the
same kind of blocks which is used in
paving the rest of the street. Unless the
company uses the same material and
does the paving in as good a manner as
the city does, there is likely to be a fight
between the residents, the railroad COM
pany and the Street and Water Commits

magnificent production of Slaves of

the test of two seasons, and is now an
established success.
1t is described as a play of heart inter
est" The story is one that appeals to
fathers, mothers, children, sweethearts
and wives. Tt abounds in Startling situa-
tons and thrilling cfimaxes. One of its
many features is where the heroine in or
der TO save her fathers life and escape
from the plotting villains, bursts through
a solid glass bay window and leaps to the
branch, Of a tree. swings thirty feet
through space to the ground. Another is
the bursting of the water tank in the
mine. where the father and child are en-
tombed, and the terrific battle for life in
the Hood between the hero and villain.

enough to a stately grand opera, to APP
peal to the average man and the cultured
taste. 1t is not necessary either to enjoy
the opera thoroughly that the auditor be

much in evidence. It is an attractive and
sprightly production, elegantly mounted,
