5. L~eschziner Explains Why
Newark Will Grow With

Apropos the building boom in the city

many letters recently which treat thess
subjects in a f~ar-sighted way. $.
Leschziner, one of the foremost real
estate operators of this city. speaking
of the city and its prospects today, said
"Of the past | have little to say, The
Anticipated horse car has given place to
the trolley and suburban train service.
which is now Inadequate and also fast
becoming out of date.
Modern buildings (far too few by the
way have taken the place of the older
structures which once stood an eye
sore to sincere wishers of a better city.
and a Jest and joke to visitors. There
has been an improvenlent-slow and
hardly noticeable.
Now for the present, the time to act,
the time for the Newarker to throw
off his ultra conservatism invest in
Newark and its immediate vicinity, for
the time is coming, very, very soon,
when the city of Newark will have to
meet he responsibilities of a great
city
why are you so sure that. Newark is
to become. a great city? % was asked.
Leschziner, New York city, the first
city of the country, is of most limited

large for the benefits they give, and
transportation TO and from business is
wholly inadequate.
In addition every day brings thou

the population. The result is what? A
natural overflow through the easiest

Now. then, Newarkers must wake up
to these toming conditions; the city

on ex-President Theodore Roosevelt was made to-
day by Ormsby McHarg. Assistant secretary or

statement he is said to have made that Roosevelt
has acted as II he the Lord around mere.
That these statements should have appeared IN

the Forest Service Bureau for the conservation OF
natural resources.
Mr. McHarg was especially desrous to-day tnat
his opinion on the forestry question be not mis-
taken as reflection OF the attitude OF the present
administration. but his own belief
His resignation will not become effective until
his successor is chosen. Secretary Nagel-informed
Mr. MeHarg oven the telephone that his resignation
had been accepted. and IL the President Is taxing
any cognizance OF Mr.. McHarss rankness. MI
Nagel made no mention of IL. The general BELIEF
in Washington is that Secretary Nagel went 10
Beverly with Mr.. McHargs resignation In his
pocket
In the Department Of Commerce and Labor there
is a strong conviction that Theodore Weed the
present chief clerk. will succeed Mr. McHars
