THEY WOULD HARDLY SERVE.
Parks and Trees Commissioners Not
Likely to Play Subordinates.

Parks and Trees Commissioners Not
Likely to Play Subordinates.
A prominent member of the Park and
Tree Commission, absent from the city,
writes to another member of the board as
follows:
81 very much fear that political ami
mostly and prejudice will reduce the COM
mission to mere committees of Council
subject them to all the political changes,
and shear them of all the individuality
and Independence If this occurs 1 do
not see how 1 can consent TO serve"
1t is understood that this represents the
sentiments of majority of the members
of this important commission, and that if
the commission is placed under the entire
control of Council and made subordinate
to it in its management of the depart
mental work they will probably decline
any reappontments TO the positions they
now fill.
THE Park and Tree Commission" said
a member of it yesterday, "has never even
been accused of being political agency
or of using any of its authority for poit-
cal purposes. II has administered its
office for the sole purpose of beautifying
Savannah, of preserving and improving

The commission is to have a meeting ear

able that there viii be some discussion of
the proposed legislation affecting the
board.
There have been some intimations in
business circles of a business mems tick
ct for Mayor and aldermen in the event
that the factional spirit as aroused again,
and there seems to be an opportunity to
nut through an Independent ticket. Referr-
ing TO the matter yesterday a business
man said that the Park and Tree Comm:s-

from which to take mayoralty or alder

without first getting divorce?
@ II she does marry again and has chill
dren are they legitimate in the eyes OF

g. We should say that the children born
10 this unlawful union were Legitimate.
But II, meanwhile. the first consort were

dren by woman, shall afterwards inter-
marry with her, such child or children, or
their descendants. If recognized by him

was. for awhile. a serious blow TO The
college. but only a few years witnessed
the dawning OF a new era. which has
steadily continued with an almost phe-
nomenal prosperity. Very few colleges
have, since the war, been the recipients
OF more munificent contributions from
wealthy alumni and friends.
Although the Institution bore the cor
porate name of the College Of New Jersey,
II was never a pensioner of the State,
and In ante bellum days was very poor
ly endowed. The princeiy gifts of mil
lions which It has since received have
been wisely utilized. and our author well
says: 'The old boy OF the forties and
fifties. returning. sees a city Of imposing
and spacious buildings. scattered grace
fully over a shady campus. whose area
and beauty challenge comparison. He
sees pleasure grounds for the students
in profusion. and artificial facilities for
swimming only equalled. IL at all, in great
cities. And he feels his heart burn with
happy pride as he reflects that there is
not square foot OF beautiful lawn or
cubic yard of monumental stone that
does not represent corresponding progress
In the inside development Of the uni
versity."
The sesqui centennial OF this vene-
rable institution was celebrated with
great eclat In the fall OF 1896, when the
old name of College Of New Jersey was
abandoned, and the more appropriate
title OF Princeton University was legally
assumed. That her old-time career OF
usefulness and honor may be continued
and enlared as the coming years roll on
Is the fervent wish and prayer not less
of her large body Of alumni than of every
enlightened friend Of education, and
votary of letters. throughout all the
States.
