WASHTNGTON'S CROSS
INC AS PARK

landmarks of the American Revolution that belong to a State
which has been fifty termed the revolutionary battlefield. 1t was
only the other day that Red Bank was formally dedicated as a
national memorial. When Washington crossed the Delaware on
a bitter night in winter with his lily clad troops to fight the battle
of Trenton and turn the tide of the war at its lowest ebb for the
patriot cause, he immortalized his place of crossing in history.
But Washington's Crossing has received no other recognition from
posterity. There is nothing to distinguish it on either side of the
Delaware. 1T was a gOodly recommendation, therefore, that was
adopted at the Columbian celebration at Trenton yesterday for the
States of New Jersey and Pennsylvania and the Federal govern
ment to cooperate in acquiring the land on both sides of the Della
ware and dedicate it as a national public park There is no
place of more historic and patriotic interest than Washington's
Crossing, and it would be a reproach to two States and to the
nation if this landmark, so eloquent of memories of the Revolu-
ton, should be put to any other uses.

a great thrush Of water, filling the tube

According to the monthly report OF In

resents an expenditure Of 81. 1.43S.O96
Comparing. these figures with those OF

is shown. this decrease being accounted
for by the fact that the new schedule OF
