WERE
DISCUSSED
FOR THE 4TA.
General Committee Meet in
City Hall Last Night and
Ideas Expressed.
MAYOR NAME EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE

Plans we're set afoot last night, at
a meeting in the council chamber at
city hall, for the proposed public
celebration of independence Day.
Various ideas were proposed and
talked over, but no definite arrange
ments were made Mayor Bollsch-
weller, on motion of Rev. James L.
Lancaster, was elected chairman Of
an executive committee which he
will name today, and stated, as the
meeting started, that he had re-
ceived assurance from Alderman-at-
Large Voorhees, of an appropriation
from the council and he asked the
committee members to aid in rails
ing additional money for the cele-
bration.
Various ideas as to the nature of
the celebration were submitted last
night. 1t was proposed that fire.
works and band concerts be given
simultaneously in three different
sections of the city. 1t was suggest
ed that barges be anchored off
Washington street, Fayette street
and Bayard's beach and that the dis
play of fireworks be given from the
barges so there would be less danger
of fire.
Henry w. Kehoe said that mas
much as the celebration was for the
children, and youngsters generally
thought more of eating than of
watching Roman candle, he favor
ed having luncheon served to the
children throughout the day. II a
small amount were expended for
music and sweetmeats, he said, the
children would be better pleased.
Another suggestion made was
that outings for the children be held
in the afternoon at three different
points in the city. Theodore Blood
good, 1t was announced, has offered
the use of Wonderland Park.
The mayor said, in short address
delivered before the close of the
meeting, that he wished to make In
dependence Day day for the chill
dren and he hoped, with the aid of
the 260 or more local men who have
announced their intentions of serv-
ing on the general committee, to
accomplish his purpose. He realizes,
he said, that in depriving the chill
dren of their fireworks ne is taking
away from them something to which
they have looked forward since last
July, and he wishes to substitute in
place of the firecrackers and bombs
something less harmful but equally
as enjoyable.
Rev. ]. L. Lancaster's suggestion
of purchasing the stock of the local
dealers in pyrotechnics and using
them in connection with the public
display at night, met with his ap-
proval the mayor said. He stated
that he had been in Newark yester-
day to CLEAN ideas as to how the
Newark celebration is to be conduct
ed. Newark is to have monster
celebration. The council has appro-
priated $500 and subscription is
now being raised.
The mayor will today appoint a
committee of about twenty-five to
make definite arrangements for the
affair, and meeting will shortly be
held to arrange for securing finances.
The committee will be sub-divided
into other committees.
