plain chart that he had prepared.
was introduced at the conclusion of
the program. The chart had been
gotten up to set forth plan evolved
by the author for the elaborate i'm
prCvement of the Watch Tower and
The adjacent grounds. Mr.. Newberg
stated that the Tower is visited year
~ by great numbers of people who
enjoy the natural beauty of the place
to the full, but who, from lack of ac-
cOmmodatiCns,. cannot remain as long
as they desire. He pointed out thar
the place is an ideal one upon which
to prepare a resort that shall prove
not only source of greater pleasure
TO the people of the tri-cities than it
now is. but that it may easily be
made attractive enough to bring peo-
pie here residing at a distance to re-
main weeks during the summer
months.
The chart showed the Tower and
river to the south with n large tract
of land lying north, all laid out i'm the
manner in which Mr.. Newberg be-
lieyes it ought to be and can be with
the cooperation of the people of the
tri-cities. On the hillside facing Rock
river was shown place where nat
ural amphitheatre ready for the seats
to be installed and capable of seating
10000 people, is to be found. Mr.
Newberg expressed the opinion that
by putting on high class entertain
ments and selling the tickets in cOu-
pom form such an amphitheatre could
be made not only to pay for itself but
IA source of revenue from which the
other improvements could be built up.
Artificial Lake.
South of the Tower a large lake was
shown, and Mr.. Newberg pointed out
how a dam could be made across the
ravine with very little labor that
would give an artificial body of Wa
ter over a mile in length. The water
could be supplied from the river by
means of a pump operated by the
current North of the lake was laid
out golf links and grounds for all
other kinds of outdoor sports, while
room for large number of summer
cottages was included.
After Mr.. Newberg had finished the
club took the matter up, but owing TO
the lateness of the hour and the de-
sire of the majority of the members
Ito give the subject a broader consid-
Iefation than was possible then, it was
vdted to lay the plan over till an
|otRer meeting. Before adjourning
vOfe of thanks was given to the re
firing officers for their efficient serv-
ices and to Mr.. Newberg for the very
important part he had played in max
ing the occasion an enjoyable one.

valuable merchandise arriving by
trains that cannot be promptly re-
moved and that must bo kept secure

Riparian Rights fof Joint Sewer.

Among the deeds filed with the
county clerk of Union County was
that of the Riparian Commission of
the State of New Jersey to the city of
Elizabeth. The grant comprises eighty
feet under water lands along the
shore line at the foot of Bayway.
This riparian property is to be used
to construct upon it the outlet for the
sewer of the Essex county joint
municipalities, and also a public
dock. Owing to the fact that the pro-
perty is TO be applied to public uses,
the riparian commissioners reduced
tho selling price to $500, which is on
ly third Of the value of the lands.

1907 Libraries in State.

The report of tho New Jersey Pub
lie Library Commission gives an ac-
count of the work of the commission
for the past year, together with some
interesting observations as to the con-
ditioDs among the libraries of the
state and observations as to their fu-
ture management and control,
Besides the 102 libraries named, the
Commission has been informed at the
offices of the Superintendent of
Public Instruction, that there are l, 495
free school libraries i'll the State, pur-
chased under the provision Of the
school law, which grants financial aid
for the purpose in cases where the
schools have raised certain amount
of money. There arc also about
twenty-five teachers libraries created
under q similar provision.
The work OF the past year shows a
growing interest in the subject of
Libraries and in commenting upon what
has been accomplished the report
says:
During the past year the new
public librariesa at Jersey City, New
ark and Hackensack have been finish
ed and occupied; large addition has
been made to that at Paterson; in
Tr4nton new public library is being
erected at q cost Of over 100000 for
the building and site. and it will be
ready for use early in the new year
with nearly 10000 volumes.
The total number CT books and
pamphlets in all of the public and
semi public libraries in tho State will
probably reach 1900, Geo. Sunday
School Libraries are not included in
this estimate. Fifty-two of the 102
libraries reporting are free and thir-
ty-eight subscription, and Of the
eighty eight cities and towns in
which libraries are located 76 have
libraries in the public schools also.
