TRIBUTE TO SECTION

on the Job.

Mayor Jacob Haussiing and several
other city officials were the guests OF
the Clinton Hill Improvement Associa-
ton at its annual banquet last night
In the Kruger Auditorium. Every
speaker, and there we're many, praised
the association and the work it has
been doing, and urged that 1t be con-
tinued not only In the Clinton Hill sec.
ton, but all over the city.
The opening address was made by Dr..
William BuermaIln. president of h as
ISOLATION. He spoke of the progress
that the association had made during
his three years administration, and Of
the growth of the organization, which
has reached the five hundred mark
since he has been president. He said
that the watchword was and always
would be Progress" and that there
would be nc cessation in the efforts to
make Clinton Hill the best residential
section in Newark II Newark the best
city in the country.
Mayor Haussling, who was introduced
by DR.. Buermann, declared that he
knew from experience that the Clinton
Hill Association was always wide
awake. He knew. he said, a de-
mand to be made by the body that was
not reasonable, and he always tried to
give what was asked for on that ac-
count.
He was followed by Howard Mac
Sherry, who prefaced his more serious
remarks by a few stories of how he had
made light of Newark when he was a
resident of New Brunswick several
years ago.. He went on to say that in
his opinion Newark had the greatest
future of any city in the country, and
that he expected some day to see it
stretching from Elizabeth to the Hud,
son river. and from the Orange Noun
tains to Newark Bay. He declared that
the fact that New York capitalists were
putting millions into the town was evil
dence enough of their faith in its
future. fxf.f,

chanic street, and the abandonment of

The Rev. Charles Everett Granger,
