NEW BOULEVARDS,
Mr.. Harrison's Estimates
of Distance and Cost
Before the FreeholderS.
THE GREAT CROSS COUNTY ROAD
Yiaduct for the Hoboken Exten-
slon-Over 100000 Need
ed for All.
E GREAT CROSS COUNTY ROAD

The proposed cross country boulevard
and the Hoboken extension, with the re-
ports made thereon by Chief Engineer
Edlow w. Harrison, occupied a large share
of the Freeholders' attention at their
meeting yesterday evening. The Chief
Engineer submitted his estimate of the
approximate cost of both Improvements.
In his calculation he makes the length Of
the cross country road from this city to
Harrison and Kearny 1922 miles. From
the starting point in this city to the east
bank of the Hackensackj River will be
l. Is miles. From the Hackensack to Belle
vile Bridge is 6s3 miles, and from the
river road to Harrison, to the East New
ark line, is 2.S7 miles. In East Newark
the road will occupy 1.21 miles, to the ter
minus at Davis and Hamilton avenues.
The road will run through 1853 miles Of
streets and thoroughfares already opened
and dedicated to public use. mile and
a half of this stretch will need widen
ing to the extent of fifty feet. Four miles.
and a. half are graded and 3.59 miles
curbed, and about two-thirds of a mile
is provided with CUTTERS The chief adj
vises that the section of the road across
the meadows be made one hundred feet
wide, and suggests that it be not macad-
amized for more than half of the width.
Reads in Essex county and Staten Island
are constructed in that way and give en-
tire satisfaction.
Mr.. Harrison says that as the land on
the meadows is unfmproved it would be
waste of money to macadamize the en-
tire width of the driveway. The Chief
Engineer gives these figures as his esti-
mate of the cost

excellent portrayal last night at the

those of his wife and children. whose
lives are made harder by having to ap-

When an Ohio man comes to Will

THE POWER OF BEER

II Is now the opinion Of MANY rail
road men in this community that n
was a bottle Of beer and not a red lam
tern which stopped the Royal Blue
Baltimore and Ohio express train near
Elsmere on Saturday. An Italian was
arrested for flashing the light and
stopping the train, but as nothing was
found on him but a dinner kettle and
bottle OF beer, and as no red lantern
could be found in the neigh borhood.
he was released. Several railroad men
who have given the matter consider
able thought and attention express the
belief that what the engineer of the
Royal Blue took for red light was
merely the reflection Of the headlight Of
the engine upon the bottle OF beer
which the POOR italian was carrying. II

were once opposed to missions, though l
do not see how any one could honestly
and consistently claim to believe in God
and the universal fatherhood of God with
out doing something to help the work Of
missions. If God is, indeed, our Father,
he is the Father of not a few, not one or
two thousand, but of all men. If He were
not that His fatherhood would not be uni
versal Christ came not to baptiZe only a
small number, but to shed the blessings of
light upon all that His mission could reach,
and when He said Go ye unto all the
world He expressed the idea which has
been the handspring OF all mission work.
The fatherhood of God thus consistently
interpreted means the readiness, the will
ingness, the active realization Of helping
all.
unfortunately, there have been a great
many Christian people, who thought, and
perhaps some who still think, very little
of mission work. while the clergy also have
hesitated to bring the subject before their
congregations. But with progress, with
the development of ideas, with the true
discernment of the nature and the mean
ing of mission work, there has come also
in this line of religious work progress, a
growth, an expansion, a wider life. To-
day no church can be a. live Christian in
stitution without doing its mission work in
some form or other.
Needs of the West.
After the choir had sung Bishop Mills
paugh earnestly spoke upon the needs of
the west in the way of mission work. He
made particular reference to the labors in
his own diocese in Kansas, and said that
many more preachers and enlarged reli-
gious facilities are required. He went on
to say:
THE Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel helped to build this church. Two
hundred years ago this society sent mis-
sionaries into the colonies and paid nearly
all their salaries until the time of the revo-
luton. The missionaries labored along the
Atlantic coast and established the Protest
ant Episcopal Church in this land. If the
people of England had been opposed to
missions, how could this church ever have
been established SO firmly in this country?
1t would never have been the church
that it Is today, so that we are indebted
to the past for the benefits Of today.
