PEOPLES PALACE ON VIEW
Building to Be Thrown Open
to the Public Next We'd
nesday Evening.

There will be a closing reception at the
Peoples Palace on the evening of Wednes-
day, June IA, when the entire building is
to be thrown open for public inspection.
1t has long been the custom with the
PEOPLES Palace to hold two receptions a
year outside of the New Year and other
fete day receptions. One is held when the
Palace opens its doors early in the fall
and the other when it closes those same
doors for the summer as will be the case
next Wednesday, though, practically
speaking, the Palace does not close at all
during the summer. The baths are, of
course. more greatly used during the not
months and often a game of billiards or
pool is enjoyed. but the gymnasium ana
assembly hall are usually closed because
they are practically useless in hot Weatnef
and to admit of repairs. Then, too, all
the classes are closed. The day nursery,o OF
course. keeps open the year round.
The annual receptions are usually very
largely attended and keep a reception
committee of about thirty pretty busy
showing round the guests and seeing
that all are served with refreshments,
which are in charge of the Ladies Aux
Hilary. There are usually some gym
nastjc exercises, while the bowling al
levs and pool tables are in constant use,
giving the public not only a chaitce to
see the institution in full operation, but
to participate in it's sports, If they 50
desire.
The officers of the Palace are the Rev.
John L. Scudder, president; Mr.. ,Charles
H. Cooper, secretary, and Mr.. Frank II.
Hall. treasurer.

He told Mr.. Thompson that he was
making a great mistake in keeping up the

the county over to the Democrats. Mr..
Thompson need expect no help from hirn

Republican party and at the same time

Tho Plank Road Raid.

The action of Acknowledgement Sam
Grey, the unpaid hero of the Noonan-
Simpson trial, in lending the name of the
State to the Newarkers' attempted Plank
Road grab is quite What might be ex-
pected. 1t is an instance of Hudson-bait-
ing. and Hudson seems to be fair game
for any sort of persecution hat a G. Q. T.
official car discover.
The Plank Road is of Nc conceivable
use to Hudson. There is no improved
property along its line, it affords no
artery of communication between diner
ent sections of the county. 1t affords
Hudson County 40 trade or traffic advan-
tages. 1t brings no buyers to n part
of Hudson County. To all intents n
purposes, both of its termini are foreign
to us. the one being Newark and the
other New York. The beneficiary of the
road is Newark, which uses it to ship its
products to New York and which receives
in return a great quantity of material
shipped on cheap terms from New York.
There is no exaggeration about these
statements. They stand for the mere dry
facts. They are not disputed even by
Newark herself. Under the present sys-
tenn, Newark has to pay for the ac-
c~ommodation she gets. Under the form
of tolls, her shippers and carriers have
to contribute to the maintenance of the
road. This surely is fair. But 1t does not
suit Newark. In the true hog spirit
which characterizes her, she wants to
have the use of the road without paying
for 1t. She wants to force Hudson TO
maintain it for her advantage. This is
the purpose of the proceeding which
Attorney-Genera Grey authorizes, and If
the suit should be won by the petitioners,
that is to say, by Newark, an additional
burden, which, we believe, would not be
less than $780, 900 a year in the long run,
would be laid upon Hudson's taxpayers,
without the smallest return.
It should be remembered that we main
tain one road to Newark already at the
cost of this c~ounty-the turnpike, and, in
doing so, we do our full duty in providing
an artery of travel across our territory.
