Adolph Holder and others declared the
site at present a nuisance and a disgrace.
Commissioner Midlige called attention
to the fact that the site might be used
in connection with the new water plant
about two years from now.
"Well, then" said Mr.. Muir, 'let us
have it improved in some manner, and
grant an appropriation as soon as possi-
BILE so that we may have the benefit of the
improvement as long as possible during
the two years.
Commissioner Nolan said he told the
clel gyman and the association some time
ago that If they'd get the $1,000 the Street
and Water Board would do the rest.
President Hoehl of the Twelfth Ward
Improvement Association was spokesman
for a delegation composed of the new
station house committee and members of
the association. Mr.. Hoehl, after allud-
ing to the fact that the Legislature had
passed a law authorizing the city to is
sue bonds for S35,000 for the erection of
the new station house in Hudson City,
said his association, which introduced the
measure, and all people in that section of
the city, would like to see the matter
hurried along He asked that the Police
Commissioners be given the money as
soon as possible SO that the work could
be proceeded with.
Mayor Hoos, who had listened attentive
ly to the speakers of the delegation, arose
and made a short speech. He said he did
not think he was extravagant, but he
favored the improvement Of the reservoir
site. Three or five thousand dollars ex-
pended on it for even two years, he said
would be we'll spent. He said he knew
that it at present was a disgrace. As
to the necessity of hurrying along the new
station house, he said the sooner the
money was raised the better. He said
he expressed his views of the condition
of the present station house in that Sec
ton a few weeks ago on the occasion of
the annual inspection of the station
houses. 1t was not fit to house either
man or beast In. He asked the Commis-
sioners to go and see for themselves

traced out her trip to and from Florida
giving number of pretty little incidents
en- route. Miss Bradford, it will be re-
membered, returned Saturday, March %,
from a two weeks tour in Florida.
whittier the Auxiliary Board of Whittier
House had sent her for recuperation from
overwork. Though from this fact the

st. Augustine. where she found much
not only to interest her, but through the
process Of passing it on, to interest
others upon her return.
At the conclusion of the programme re-
freshments were served during half
hour social.

RESERVOIR SITE,
Park Committee Urges Its
improvement Before
Finance Board.
MAYOR HOOs JOINS IN
Says Its Present Condition is
a Disgrace to the
City.

After the hearing of citizens interested
IN the improvement of the foot of Dun
can avenue and the Hackensack River
front, at yesterdays meeting of the FL
nance Board, the joint park site commit
tee of the Hudson City and the Twelfth
Ward Improvement Associations was
heard in relation to an appropriation to
convert the old abandoned reservoir site
at Central, Manhattan and Summit ave-
nues, into recreation ground
Robert Muir was the first to speak He
asked that something be done with the
property, even il only to level it off for a
playground and provide it with few
seats for women and children He called
attention to the fact that some time ago
the Street and Water Board asked for
$1,000 to convert it into a park or play
ground. He asked If the Finance Board
could not grant such an appropriation to
grant $4,000, even $1,000, anything to rem
edy the present nuisance.
Secretary Frederick Bugasch, of the
Twelfth Ward Association, read the fol-
lowing letter from the Rev. Father Wey-
land, OF st. Nicholas parish, whose
church and rectory overlooxs the site:-
Jersey City, April 2, 1901.
To the Park Committee of the Twelfth
Ward and Hudson City Improve
ment Associations
Dear Gentlemen--Being unable to
respond to your kind invitation to i've
present at your meeting, l would,
however, beg of you to accept the fol-
lowing statement
st. Nicholas's congregation fully ap-
proves of your. Iaudable endeovor to
turn the unused portion of the reser-
yoir into playground, or a park if
possible; or, in fact, into any kind
of place that will be a credit and not
a discredit to the city. In its present
Is simply and really public nuisance,
and by knowing persons is even neld
to be an incentive to indecency and
on st. Nicholas parish for the i'm
provement of Ferry street, and this
sum will be paid most willingly, al
he Ry sSoud is not tsa only y
government be equally desirous of en-
hancing the value of city property or,
at least prevent it from being
menace to respectable citizens? More
over, it is very palpable fact that a
useless wall of a useless reservoir
sewers all business connections be-
that part of Jersey City Heights. A
site more favorable for a park can
hardly be found in the city, and the
expenses entailed in the. laying out
ed by greatly increased tax valua-
tions, as was ably debated by your
association short time ago.
But If from reasons which, by the
way, are hard to understand we may
not have a park. we would certainly
welcome improvement of the site in
question, which would render It less
IA disgrace to a thriving American
city than 1t is now. Let me conclude
by wishing the Park Committee every
success. The association has been so
active and persistent in an obviously
just cause that a failure can hardly
be conceived.
Most respectfully yours,
REV. T. WEYLAND,

Broadway Theatre.

Despite the fact that it is Holy Week,
'"Fhe Price of Peace the big Drury Lane
melodrama now running at the Broadway
Theatre, New York, is playing to very
large business. Considering the week,
the management of the theatre naturally
looked for drop in business and they
were most pleasantly disappointed to find
that the house was full on the first even
ing of the week, but that all the indica-
tions point to continuance of capacity
business. There is a great deal in 1.-The
Price of Peace" to please the theatre
goer. In the first place it is agreed on all
sides that it is the biggest melodramatic
production that has ever been brought to
this country from the Theatre Royal,
Drury Lane, which is the home of the
largest English productions The scenery
is most elaborate and the various scenes
pass before the eye so quickly as to make
the effect almost Kaleidoscope The
fayorite scenes with the audiences appear
to be convent scene, showing the children
at recreation in the playground-severa
dozen bright little tots-watched over by
the Sisters. with a touch of deep pathos
at the end in the parting of little Mary
Vine from her schoolmates; the inter-
rupted wedding which takes place in
Westminster Abbey, a magnificent set
ting showing one of the naves of this
famous cathedral, with its stained glass
windows and statuary; the imposing
wedding procession, the surpliced male
choir. the impressive marriage ceremony
of the Church of England, conducted by
the Dean of Westminster until the dra-
matte interruption; the reception at the
Earl of Derwent's house, Carlton House
Terrace-a magnificent set; the library in
Lord Derwent's house, where the Prime
Minister of England, that he may save
the lives of $4,000 innocent soldiers, kills
a Russian spy; the interior of the House
OF Commons in full session, where the
Prime Minister dies of heart failure at
the climax of his mastery speech, and
the final picture, realistic sinking of a
steam yacht by an ocean liner The story
of the play is also interesting and is less
unreal than that told in most melo
dramas. A feature of the production
which is especially interesting to the
ladies in the audience is the magnificent
gowns worn by the women in the COM
pany. Probably no production staged in
New York in years has had such an array
OF handsome dresses. 1.-THE Price of
Peace is on at the Broadway for an in
definite run.

story in a manner that rivets the closest
attention of audiences for every minute
of the three hours. The plot of way
Down East revolves about the wrongs
of Anna Moore, its heroine, and each act
of the play shows the skill with which
the playwrights wrought. The same set
