NEWARK'S CITY HALL SITE.
DIRECTIONS TO THE ONE CHOSEN BY THE COM
MISSION

There is much diversity OF sentiment in Newark
regarding the site for City Hall, 1t is
derstood that the City Hall Commission, composed
of Judge Andrew kirkpatrick, Judge Gottfried
Kruger and James E. Howell. after exhaustive
study of the subject has substantially agreed
locating the building in Military Park. The Com
missions decision Will be final.
The park is very little used for park purposes
and is mere feature of the city'S landscape The
Essex Park Commission has established Branch
Brook Park. and the East and West Side parks
bill has acQIired land for large park at Wavery.
so that the argument is that the use of Military
Park a site will not really reduce the park
area, and will in fact give interest to the
park, which will still be open breathing space.
The economic point is also presented that If the
city is obliged buy site the will greatly
reduce the amount for building that the Commits
sion will have to put UP smaller structure.
One end of Military Park is now occupied by
Trinity Episcopal Church. and the most insiStent
opposition to city hall in the park comes from
persons identified with the church
