That eyesore Of Bethel village, the park ]
fence, is soon to be replaced by a new 4
fence v it'll iron posts, furnished by the /
generosity of NJ. Sylvester, upon which /
will be placed a neat iron structure,
bought by the town. The title to this 4
land stands in the railroad, but several 4
years ago the railroad company offered 4

park purposes if the town would erect 4
and maintain the fence. At that time
few enterprising citizens put up the
wooden fence that has done service until
lately.
