from south to east to north and then tack

between the two cities, Despite this natural
barrier the interests Of Harrison and Newark

depot is a few blocks north Of Market street
In the heart Of tho business district, At
this point are the banks and office buildings
theatres and department stores for which
Newark Is noted. The shopping district
centres at the corner Of Market and Broad
streets, where practically all the important
trolley lines intersect, Surface cars radiate
from this point in all directions and bring
the city proper within easy reach OF the
residence district, the important centres
OF Elizabeth and Paterson and the out
living suburbs to the westward. The Rose
Vile avenue station is in a rapidly growing
section that is being built up by people OF
modest means. A great many " family
houses and inexpensive frame dwellings
have been ereote1 there and the %neighbor-

summer homes there. The town has a
