HARD Times PARTY.

THE STUDENTS OF THE TRI-
City Business college last evening held
hard times party in the school room
and the evening proved a merry one
for the 80 or more young people who
attended. The young men came dress
ed in overalls and a fine was impos-
ed for the wearing Of neckties or stif
collars and one young man was COM
PEELED to pay forfeit by proposing to
a young lady present. The young man
was extremely bashful and was COM
PEELED to ask the advice of a lady teach
er how to proceed, the result causing
much merriment. The young la
dies wore Bingham aprons and
calico dresses and for any violation
of the rule were assessed a fine.
A program of songs and instrumental
numbers was given and games of var
ious kinds were played and dancing
enjoyed. When supper time drew near
each young man drew a number, by
which means he selected his partner.
Each couple was given a small pie which
they had to share. A comedy sketch
of a young lady getting ready to re-
ceive her gentleman company was put
on by two of the young men and was
cleverly done. The evening was thor
oughly enjoyed.t

BOARD APPROVES PLAN
FOR IVY HILL ALMSHOUSE.
Property-Owners in Vicinity
Protest in Vain.

Notwithstanding objections of prop
erty owners in the V%ailsburg section
and Others interested the finance COM
mittee of the Board of Works yester-
day approved the plan of building the
proposed new almshouse on Ivy Hill.
AS an incentive to abandon the site
John ]. Caullet, one of the principal
DIRECTORS, told the members that the
city could sell the land for 100000 and
another site could be procured for
$50, 900, saving the city $4,000. An offer
of 500, 600 for the Ivy Hill site was
made by Mr.. Auerbach, who accom-
panied Mr.. Caullet, but the offer was
not accepted.
Objections to building the almshouse
on Ivy Hill were made chiefly by those
who contended that the adjoining
property would depreciate in value.
Frederick w. Smith. counsel for South
orange, was present and requested the
board to consider the residents of the
township before a decision was made.
Further delay In building the aims
house was opposed by Alderman Con
gleton, who declared that the land ad-
jacent to the site was vacant and
building values would not be affected
He added that a large part of the
property would be retained for seser-
voir purposes and the city did not pro
pose to put it on sale.

CONTINUE HEARING
ON MEADOW LANDS
Expert Says Property Sought
by City Is Worth $1,000
an Acre.

Condemnation proceedings brought
by the city to determine the value of
meadow land owned by former United
States Senator James Smith, jr., which
the Board Of Works wishes to acquire
to build a ship canal and to develop
into factory sites, will be continued
Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. This
was decided yesterday when the com
lnissioners adjourned.
Alfred T. Beckwith, a real estate
broker of 1928 Broad street, and former
ly in the employ of the Lehigh Valley
railroad, a witness called by Frederick
j. Faulks, counsel for Mr.. Smith. tes-
titled hat the land in question is
worth at least 81, 900 an acre, and h a
as soon as streets are cut through the
meadows the price will go up higher.
Mr.. Beckwith declared that he had
made two sales in the meadow dis
trict, one tract of % acres and the
other of Is acres at s., 900 an acre.
This testimony was in contradiction
TO that given by Harrison Van Duyne,
who made the a~ppraisals for the city,
and judged the LAND to be worth from
$175 to 5000 per acre.
Mr.. Beckwith stated that the Lehigh
Vale yrailroad had paid $500 an acre
for 100 acres where the Oak Island
yards are now located. Witness de-
clared that in giving values he had
in mind the meadows as a whole and
not isolated spots.
Nathaniel May, employed by the
Pennsylvania Railroad for forty years,
gave testimony showing the price paid
by the railroad along its main line.
Mr.. May had charge of the accounting
n the custody of deeds.
Mr.. May stated that on August 5.
1890. the Manor Real Estate and Trust
Company, a holding company of the
Pennsylvania, paid to John c. Wilson,
who was purchasing the lam for the
S27, 2t9.54 for 51.477 acres of
land. This is about 1928 an acre. This
