of Avis Linnell, when told this even

the following statement:

opinion that the evidence submitted
to Governor ross was more than am
DIV sufficient to warrant commuta-
ton of RicheSon's sentence.
while he may not be insane IN
the strict legal acceptance of the word
he is certainly in such mental condi-
ton that he should not be held in the
same degree of responsibility as the
average or normal man. A life SEN

ment. have answered the requirements

Newark, in that II makes Newark part OF
New York Ohe distance being only eish-
teen minutes ride, and in this way IN
creases the population and raises the
values of real estate.
THE real estate affairs of Newark are
booming, and several millions OF collars
are being spent in new buildings such as
new office buildings, hotels, etc.
"The outlook of the real estate market
is excellent, and / believe that the real
estate all over the city will increase
greatly and rapidly"
Edgar Percy Ward, president OF the
Ward-Gehin Company, says:
1T is difficult to attribute to any one
cause the phenomenal growth of Newark
during the last ten years. il is certain
that Newark has never been dependent
upon New York City for it's development
but rather has this been due to its own
ideal location for manufactures and its
possibilities for comfortable homes for its
laboring population.
Its proximity to New York has al
ways been decided disadvantage, in that
IL
nesses from starting here, business men
feeling that they could hardly compete
with the variety of goods offered in New
York. This condition is however, rapidly
passing away, and the fear among many
that the McAdoo tubes would increase 1t
has proved to be without foundation.
'These tubes are doing much 10 bring
New Workers out to the Oranges, and
this population is drifting into Newark to
do much Of its buying. The feeling is
strong that there will be even more OF
this as people come to know what New
ark has 10 offer Men who are in touch
with Newark real estate conditions feel
that this development is just starting,
especially away from the centre of the
city This is shown by the wonderful
development OF Central avenue, which Is
the logical artery of traffic between New
ark and the Oranges and will be. perhaps
the street Of greater Newark when the
inevitable consolidation comes in the not
very distant future"
