TITLE TO PARK MAY
BE ISSUE IN COURT.
The Claimants To Valuable
Land Here.
ANXIOUS TO RECLAIM ESTATE.
KEGS Park IN Heart of Residence Sec
ton the Land at issue-Heirs OF Or
ieinaI Donor Desire the Land to RE-
vert Back to Them Now.

The right and title to Rees Park, in
the heart Of one of the residence dis.
tr'cts of Americas and for perhaps Q
nail century controlled by the city, may
become lively subject of inter estlng
discussion between the city council
and heirs of the original owner.
The subject will come mp at the
meeting of the city council tonight.
though where it will end is matter of
interesting conjecture.
To whom does Rees Park belong, ia
the question to be determined.
Since the time when "the mind of
man runneth not the contrary" this
little park, embracing perhaps two
acres, has been at the disposal OF the
city for park purposes by virtue of gift
from the original owner, DIR. Rees, q
pioneer citizen OF Americus.
Away back in the ''early fifties" per-
haps half century ago, this public
spirited gentleman gave the land to the
city for park purposes.
A condition Of the gift, it is under
STOOD, was that should the property
ever cease to be SO utilized it should
then revert to his estate, And this
provision is the one upon which pos
sible contest may hinge, unless the
matter is adjusted in some way.
The claim will be made, it is under
stood, that the property has been aban-
doned to greater or less degree by the
city; that 1t is not properly park, and
therefore, under the terms of the gift,
it should revert to the heirs of DIR.
Rees, who are contending therefor.
Upon the other hand, the city Will
maintain that it has, since 1888 or 1889
at least, been improved at considerable
expense as park, The land was at
that time Enclosed. lakes constructed
and various other improvements made
in the park.
For several years past not a great
deal of work of this kind has been done.
The fence is out of repair, while the
lakes were cut IN order to prevent sick
ness in the locality.
Still the property is regarded as
public park blythe council and citizens
generally, and any attempt by heirs or
others to secure possession would be
resisted. In the opinion of a real es-
tate dealer the land is worth $4,000,
perhaps, for building lots.
AT other times in years past this same
question has arisen, but nothing came
of it as an answer.

STEEL SPAN
FOR BRIDGE.
Legislature Passed Bill Allowing
Counties TO Issue $4,000
Bonds for Bridges.

The county bridge over the Rari-
tan. which has now ceased TO be
new will in all probability UNDER
90 considerable more changes before
it is ever opened for public traffic.
During the recent session OF the legis-
lature Assemblyman Henry fathered
a bill which went through in the rush
and which permits second class coun-
ties to issue bonds to the amount of
s7j, 900 for the construction of public
bridges. 4he purpose of the bill is to
permit this county issuing bonds to
that amount so that steel span can
be placed in the bridge to meet the
demands of the War Department who
opposed the bridge because Of its i'm
pending navigation as some of the
manufacturers along the Raritan river
near the bridge claimed. The span
viii be placed on the South Amboy
side of the bridge adjoining the draw.
