NEWARK OPTIMISTIC.
Proposed Ship Canal U'W Bring
Ne7c Industries.

There is among real estate owners and brokers
in Newark a unannity of opinion regarding the
realty outlook in that city. They agree that the
situation is encouraging.
Although there have been transactions in
large central properties, the exchanges have been
light in the last two three months There seems
to be. however, good for the optimism dis
played and for the predictions of "a bright future.
Principal among these is the proposed ship canal
available for large steamers
Some of the benefits that will accrue to Newa rk
by the completion of the ship canal
/ Increased value OF waterfronts-the city receiv-
ing larger income.
2 Reclaiming meadow lands, which would help
from sanitary point of view.
g. Increased business to the citys merchants and
manufacturers.
l. Increased population providing larger
building operations and employment of a larger
force of mechanics
3 Maritime and produce exchanges would eventrl-
ally open up, well offices of houses interested
in the shipping trade.
g. Newark would be no longer inland city but
entry.
l. Manufacturers would be able to import their
material at less cost than
s. There would be increased business with West
eIn States, due to marine shipping facilities.
Another encouraging sign is the great influx of
population from surrounding cities to Newark and
It's suburbs This migration has been encouraged
by the increased individual activity, creating a
greater amount of employment. There is as re-
suit active demand for homes both for sale and

The real estate auction and sales markets both
reflected the general midsummer lethargy during
the last week
There were fewer safes at auction than for
the same period of time IN some months. Tech
nicay. however, the market is in better condition
at the present time than it has been for several
years. There ere fewer instances of people buying
property without the to hold it. The mort
cages obtained by them were often OFT of proper
ton. and when the time came for renewing them
difficulty found, and the result was foreclosure
proceedings
The private sales market was also dull There
few transactions but there not more
than two three that would attaet attention in
any other season of the year. But with the near
closing of the summer and the return of the vaca-
tionists the city sharp reaction is to set
in. The conditions just about the same
those that usually exist August in the real
market.

Miss Mueller Gives Christmas Tree
for Benefit Of Her Glasses.
On Tuesday morning, December
%, from to $3.50 there were no
Rotations in progress at Trinity
University. To teachers and stu
dents who have been In the school
for sometime this was no great sur
prise as Miss Mueller always has q
Christmas celebration with her class
es. Each exercise is always 80 good
and SO unique that one would expect
Miss Mueller soon to exhaust her
supply Of initiation and the exer-
cises become commonplace. But
this Is far from true. The fact is.
her power of initiation seems to
grow and expand, and she finds the
delight of her life in working and
planning for those she loves. In ad-
vancing the interests of her depart
ment and indeed the entire school
in which she labors.
The Christmas tree was carefully
arranged and tastefully decorated
as was the room in which the exer-
cises were held. The program con-
sisted of German recitations and
songs and was rendered principally
by students who had spent but little
more than three months in the
study Of this language. Their ac-
cent and pronunciation showed care
FIJI training and occasioned very
favorable comment especially from
those who have not long known Miss
Mueller and her work. The others
knew what to expect from practical
observation. Each member OF the
faculty was furnished with copy
OF the songs used and there was
attached to each copy Christmas
bell bearing the inscription, "Ihre
sci Colt In der Hoehe
Many expressions Of good viii and
appreciation were given Miss Muel-
Ter at the close OF the exercises and
all joined In the hope that she may
spend many Christmases as teacher
of the modern languages In Trinity
University. J. N. g.
