To CLEAR WET
DOCK PROPERTY

Street Commissioner George Adair
Is unable to cop with the PROPOSE
ton of removing hundreds of tons
of asphalt block. stone curbing. etc,
from the recently sold wet dock
property. For fifteen years the
bricks and blocks have been aceuni-
ulating there, placed on the property
by the street department for want OF
a better location.
The street commissioner has re-
ceived an order from the Roessler &
Hasslacher Chemical Company, pur-
chasers of the property. to remove
the stone, inasmuch as they intend
shortly to build there. To remove
the stone will occupy not less than
three weeks, and will involve an ex-
penditure of about $500.
Where to locate the brick Is the
problem that is confronting the
street commissioner. There Is little
or no available room for the matefi-
al. At present he has removed a
quantity of Belgian block to a city
lot, occupied by a bandstand, at New
Brunswick a and Fayette
street.
The removal of the stone will
necessitate the employment there OF
many of the men now engaged on
| the streets. The cost will be taken
| from the fund allowed the street
commissioner to keep the streets
| clean and in repair. That is none
too much in excess, he says, and the
loss of $500 will make quite a defic.
feney.
Lots owned by the city near the
| almshouse will be pressed into ser.
vice to accommodate the brick
Adair does not believe it can all be
placed there. Moreover, he says, its
distant location will make it ineon.
venient to secure blocks and bricks
when needed.

The Polka,

The polka is the natural dance for
the feet of the people. Take In evil
dence Its origin. A Bohemian peasant
girl was seen dancing out of her own
head" extemporizing from the sheer
JOY Of her heart song. tune and steps.
This she did on a Sunday afternoon In
Elbelelnitz, and an artist, one Josef
Neruda, who spied her. made a note of
all he saw. The people of the town
adopted the dance and called 1t the
pulka. half step. In 1885 it reached
Prague and Vienna in 1870; thence 1t
spread rapidly through Europe. When
NJ. Ceilarius introduced it to the Pari-
SLAMS we hear that all else gave way
before "the all absorbing pursuit. the
polka, which embraces in its qualities

vacity of the Irish JIG ."-Cassells Mag
