The only restriction DR.. Strittmatter
indicated in his letter was that if he
disposes of the property to the COM
mission it shall be held perpetually for

poses and is in complete sympathy with
the project inaugurated to have this
land set aside for park purposes.
This information from the owner of
land which is the key to the situation
greatly pleased the executive committee
and Chairman Charles j. Fisk, mayor
of Plainfield, said that half of the
work incident to preliminary negotia-
tions to acquire land for the park has
been completed by Mr.. Strittmatter's
attitude.
In order to interest Pennsylvania in
the park project. the committee has
passed a resolution requesting Cover
TOR Fort officially to communicate with

AN AWFUL STREET.

The west end OF Front Street in
South Milford, from Walnut Street to
the bridge over the river, is q mass Of
loblolly mud six inches deep, and has
been all this winter, when not frozen.
There is as much hauling on this par.
ticular street as any other in town, and
the amount Of business transacted on
it iustifys that it should he either
macadamized, or paved with brick.
We most respectfully suggest to Town
Council that this street, and the inter
section Of Walnut Street and Causey
Avenue be paved with vitrified brick.
Both are disgrace to the town.
