adopted by a number of States in this
country.
In order to actually raise the stand
ard or the common life of Glen Ridge
above that OF other places, 1t may also
be necessary for q time to increase
slightly the tax rate. l believe that
this will be found to be justified by
both direct and indirect results and
that no other expenditure will be so
profitable. Glen Ridge has a population
of over 3,00O-a threefold increase in
fifteen years. While the size of the
borough protects it from a large popu-
lation it may reasonably expect to
double its present number.
Action now, therefore, will prevent
many of the mistakes. both of omission
and commission, that other larger resi-
dence towns have made, and the pur-
pose of this report is to advocate a
more swkilIful method OF town-making.
a more confident belief in the future.
a larger early public investment in
land, and even greater regard for
beauty and recreation, and in particu-
lar a wider application of sound bust
ness principles to public affairs. The
of money. time and effort
involved in this program will be justi-
fed in a better borough to live in. the
avoidance of waste and the legitimate
and unfaiiing returns of enterprise,
wisdom and public spirit.
Glen Ridge Is already unlike any
other town; it has its own character,
it's own claims to distinction. Wisely
has it reflected its topography in its
streets and other public places, and de-
veloped it's public ideals with a rare
regard to essential public needs. Con-
sistently following what is best in the
past, the present plan is intended TO
promote an even clearer consciousness
on the part of the citizens generally of
what the borough life should be, to
avoid the oversights m mistakes Of
merely drifting, and secure the we'll
defined results of a carefully considered
program for the future.
