The bows said they had found the bot
Ties of gin on the pier where the boat was
tied up and had taken them with the IN
tention of concealing them so that uhe
members of the crew could get them when

mony to prove that the boys had smug-

ENLARGE COLUMBIA PARK
Greenville People Want It
Made a Public
Blessing.

For some time past the residents OF the
west side of the Greenviile section nave
been agitating the extension of Columpia
Park to the Boulevard. A petition was
circulated and after being signed by
large number of citizens was presented 10
the Street and Water Board, which Board
approved the proposed extension. The
subject was then referred to the Com
mittee on Public Parks for action, but
until recently nothing more was heard OF
the matter. The property lying between
the western end of the park and the
Boulevard is owned by Finance Commits
sioner Henry Lembeck. 1t was previously
supposed that inasmuch as this land was
extremely valuable for building purposes
Mr.. Lembeck did not favor the park ex-
tension project. He recently stated, how
ever, that he favored all possible public
improvements and that if the people
desired the extension of the park, ne
would not oppose the project.
The people now feel that with the ap-
proval of the Street and Water Board and
the Board of Finance, their desires will
be speedily realized The desired plot
extends north and south from Bartholdi
west from the park to the Boulevard. 1t
is about 25Ox20O feet 1t is understood that
should the city desire to purchase, Mr..
Lembeck would sell on reasonable terms.
If this plot is not purchased 1t will
mean that in time the park will be en-
closed on two ends. East of the park Is
a plot of land which at any time may
be built up. The same conditions prevail
at the western end of the park. The resi-
dents of this section who are proud of
the park feel that park walled off on
two sides by buildings would not amount
to much Should the western end be
enclosed the view of Newark Bay would
be obstructed and incidentally the western
breezes so welcome in hot weather would
be shut Off
The park has become very popular with
residents of that section and by many Is
considered a necessity. The trees are
thriving and are already capable of pro-
viding some shade.
Half of the park site was donated to the
city by Commissioner Henry Lembeck.
The other half was purchased by the
city, At one time the North Jersey Trac-
ton Company has planned to extend its
jackson avenue line through. the property
adjoining the park on the west. This
plan it is understood has been abandoned.
Greenville residents are now an2iously
awaiting the action of the city authori-
ties.
