DISPUTED LAND IS
OFFERED FOR SALE
Hyde Park Residents Wonder
Why Civic Association Is
Asked to Buy.

Residents of the Hyde Park section
of East Orange are trying to ascer-
tain the reason for the efforts being
made to have the Hyde Park CIVIC
Association purchase for $1,000 the
vacant lot at the corner of Whittle-
sey avenue and Garfield place. where
1t has been claimed a ecent pur-
chaser intends to build an apartment
house, the first in the section, al
though mmbers of the association say
the ground is not large enough to per-
NIT the erection of a satisfactory
apartment.
The agitation follows the receipt of
a letter by Chairman Frederick w.
Saxelby, of the City Counsel, a resi-
dent of the park. from the real estate
firm of Reiss & Reiss, of 400 Central
avenue, who state they are trying to
assist the residents of the section,
having ascertained there is a strong
sentiment against the building of an
apartment house there. Their letter
to Mr.. SaXelby states:
We have sold to a client of ours
the vacant lot at Whittlesey avenue
oih odiiitio PioNCs III party pul
chased this for the purpos of erect
ing an apartment house, and after
doing SO it has come to our atten-
ton that this is Objectionable to the
neighbors. / have interviewed some
of them, and they have requested
that we write you in the interests
of the Civic Society. l think we ran
persuade our client to turn this
property over at the price he paid
for it, $1,000. If the Civic Society or
anyone cares to purchase the above
named property in order to stop any
tenement house, kindly communicate
with us at once and we shall be glad,
I assure you, to cooperate with you
in any way to preserve the neighbour
hood. Some of the neighbors in
sisted this property has been re-
stricted, but it has been searched
twice, and no restrictions have been
shown as yet.
"REISS & REISS,
Per C. E. Way"
After securing the letter President
Samuel H. Libby had Lorenzo H. Alb
hey. another member OF the Civic
Association, bring the letter to the
attention of the Real Estate Brokers'
Association to ask for an investiga-
ton, and this was done by Mr.. Abb
hey, and the Hyde Park residents are
awaiting with interest the outcome.
Property next to the lot is owned
by Mrs. Robert L. Slusser, and she
has been asked to sell part of her
property, which the Hyde Park peo-
pie believe is being asked so that suf-
ficient room will be offered for erect
ing an apartment house. but Mrs.
Slusser has refused to sell to the
persons making the request.
The tract at the corner which is
the cause of the agitation is now
owned by Herman e Company, of
219 Washington street, Newark. Ne
gotiations in the deal were carried on
between Louis Herman of the firm
and Mr.. Way of the Reiss firm. The
latter concern state hat they have
been acting in the interest of Hyde
Park residents after learning an
apartment house was to be construct
ed on the site.

WAR DECLARED AGAINST
UNKNOWN SPECIES OF ANT

There is a war going on in East
Orange. The citizens are up in arms
against an unknown species of brown
ant, which is Fostering homes and
even public buildings. The entomolo-
gists are trying to figure out to just
what species the little pests belong.
East Orange folk are not so particu-
ar about the family tree of the pests,
but they do want to get rid of them.
The war is on in earnest, and al
though the officials of the War De
partment at Washington have not re-
ceived notification of the presence of
the enemy, the battle is nevertheless
progressive as well as aggressive In
