TO IMPROVE PARK
ELMWOOD SECTION. E. o.. TO
BE benefited.
Fairgrounds. Commission Seeks to Gain
Control of Plot from Shade
Tree Commission.

The East orange Fairgrounds Com
mission decided last night to work Tor
the Improvement of Elmwood Park.
situated In the southerly section of the
city, owing to the rumored statement
that the Shade Tree Commission, which
was instructed to place the property in
good condition. intended only to plant
trees there. The commission decided
TO ask that the care and custody of the
park be turned over to il, and will hold
a conference with the committee on
parks and parkways of the City Coun-
ell and members of the Shade Tree
Commission.
Councilman Harry S. Burr, who has
also been working for the Improvement
of the park, stated to a reporter today,
however, that 1t would probably not be
legal to turn over the park to the
commission, owing to the property hav-
ing been decided to the city under eer-
tain provisions Mr.. Burr announced
that the officials had decided to have
something done, and with this object
Reimer has been instructed to prepare
a plan for making improvements. The
place has been left In a bad condition
long period, and residents In the Sec
tion where 1t is located have been maxi
ing vigorous complaints.
The commission also acted favorably
Lincoln =. Rowley, who recommended
that small pieces of property be se-
cured In various parts of the city, not
occupied by buildings at present. If
the owners will consent. and converted
into breathing spots for children. If
small tracts can be secured In this way
IT is the intention of the. commission
to place swings and sand boxes and
other necessary articles In them.
Speaking on the Elmwood Park mat
ter, II was stated that the whole idea
of the donaters of the ground would be
carried out If the park was turned
over to the commission, and II was
only small legal technicality that was
holding the matter up now.
IF the Shade Tree Commission does
not care for it," said Commissioner
Bomeisler, "it should be turned over to
this commission, and we will be able to
make 1t a benefit to the community. 1t
Is certainly a shame to leave the park
in the condition It is at present.
1t was then decided to have Mr..
Rowley, who is secretary of the COM
mission, confer with the city officials
regarding the Improvement. Commis-
sloners Creede and Bonnel also agreed
to the proposition.

EAST ORANGE HAS
WATER TO BURN

The water committee of the East orange
City Council authorized Water Superin-
tendent Arthur A. Reimer to have the
municipal street sprinkling work start
Monday morning, for the city has plenty
OF water on hand, being more fortunate
than her sister city. Orange. Thomas J.
Hicks, of East Orange, who was the sue
cessful bidder on the work, has not as
yet received his complete equipment, and
the city Is also awaiting the arrival of
several fittings. but with the wagons he
has on hand Hicks Will begin work. Ac-
cording to the temporary plans, one-third
of the city streets viii be sprinkled by
the contractor. and the water wagon will
start out early Monday morning. unless
the weather Is inclement. Fire hydrants
will be utilized to provide the necessary
work for the present. 1t was expected that
the first sprinkling would be done on Main
street, but 1t has been deemed best not to
use the hydrants on that thoroughfare for
this purpose, and side streets will be first
visited.
Mr.. Reimer announced that the city will
have an abundance of water for the street
sprinkling of the entire city. The second
group of wells, situated at the western
section of the grounds in White Oak
Ridge, has been connected up under Mr..
Reimer's direction, and will be for use in
case of any emergency. The flow shows
that there is an unlimited supply on the
valuable reservation. and the city has a
supply that could meet the demands of
many larger municipalities and still have
plenty to spare.
The large compartments in the equaliz-
ing reservoir on the mountain in South
Orange have lately been cleaned out. Each
compartment contains two and one-half
million gallons of water. The work on
the northerly side is complete, and the
southerly compartment will be finished in
a few days. Both have been made water
proof
The business of the department Is in
ereasing rapidly, and Mr.. Reimer will
need another motor bicycle. The need of
the machine was pointed out last night
authority to purchase another machine.
