KNOW YOUR CITY"
AUTO RUN PLANNED
Real Estate Board Is Arranging
for inspection
Tour.

Following the inactive period due
to the season the leaders of the New
ark Real Estate Board are beginning
to bestir themselves for the fall cam
Ipaign of real estate selling. Leading
up to this a plan has been preached
by announcing a Know Your City,
automobile inspection tour. to be r
ticipated in by all the real estate
men and as many Others as choose to
join / n the parade.
AS explained by one of the promi-
.nent members of the board, the OBJ
ject would be- to direct attention to
the remarkable development of the
city and to enable those who were
interested to learn for themselves the
scope and range of this development.
Continuing, the same member said:
"The fact is that the majority of
our real estate people have but a
faint idea of the wonderful changes
that have taken place in the visible
aspect of Newark during the past
ten years. Few realize the extent of
these changes. o how they have
influenced practically every Section
of our city.
A n automobile inspection tour COW
ering every development in the city
will, in my opinion, furnish some
surprises to even the better informed
among our W fraternity, and there
can be no doubtf that anyone who
hopes to own a homeso or desires to
make a real estate investment will
reap benefit by joining in a Know
Your city tour, such as has peer
suggested"
III this plan meets with general
favor it is thought that the time to
hold the event would be on a SAT-
urday afternoon about the middle Of
next month. The member above
quoted believes that one OF two hun
dred automobiles could be gotten in
line downtown and an imposing pro-
cession formed. A feature of the
plan would be the appointment by
the Real Estate Board of a certain
number of members whose duty 1t
would be to announce briefly at each
point the salient points COW
ering the particular development I'M
der inspection.
Frank j. Book, president of the
board, is heartily in sympathy with
the movement and will further ii TO
the best of his ability. If the mat
ter meets with proper D from
the real estate interests, outside the
board as well as inside. the plan
tentatively outlined ought to prove
not alone an assured fact, but a
practical and complete success.

NEW HOTEL FOR
MULBERRY ST.
Building Erected Regardless OF
Its Cost Is Being
Remodeled.

After vicissitudes extending over a
very long period, the imposing and
handsome twin three-story and Eng
fish basement houses at 226 and 22s
Mulberry street are being remodeled
into an ultra.modern hotel for men.
The property was acquired recently
by the Exchange Realty Company,
of 10 Clinton street. and the, owners,
having accepted an offer made by
Mrs. L. Livermore. formerly of Sc
West Kinney street. a lease for a
ffve-year period was duly executed
and the alteration work Immediately
begun.
This will cost in the ~neighborhood
Of $4,000, as entirely new plumbing
will be required throughout, mainly
because most of the original plumb
Ing, including costly chandeliers. had
been stolen or ruined. The entire in
terror will be redecorated and sew
eral changes made In the chamber
arrangement.
Tne W houses occupy the full
width of a f1fty-foot plot, which has
a total depth Of It's feet. 1t is re-
ported that the property was bought
by the realty company for approx
mately $4,000. although no verifca-
ton of this has been obtained.
1t Is said also that a few weeks
prior the property was offered at a
price several thousand dollars below
the figure here stated. According to
those who have some knowledge of
the conditions under which. the
houses were erected, their original
cost could not likely have been less
than $4,000. The houses were built.
according to report, about forty wears
ago by a Mr.. Meyer and a Mr.. Mar
tin, who. as partners, operated a
stoneyard in Newark. They were
wealthy, and as money was really
no object with them at the time
they built these two houses in the
highest style of the building art OF
the period.
Solid black walnut predominated in
h Interior trim. After the lapse
of forty ear the massive doors and
other woodwork show scarcely a sin
gle mark of usage. A feature is the
black walnut storm-door.
with carvings. The ceilings In both
parlor and second floors are fully ff-
teen feet high.
Prior to 1870 Mulberry street, in the
indicated, was among the
best Of Newark's residential neigh
borhoods. The en~croachment of busi-
ness has gradually changed its char
acter, until nov but few evidences
of its original exclusiveness as a res
idential section remain.

THE DUTIES OF A GOOD CITIZEN

Edmonton, Alta. July What
are some of the most important du-
les of a good citizen 3 was ques-
tion asked of Harold Mason, a l3
years old pupil in the sixth grade at
Yhe Alexander Taylor public school
of Edmonton. His answer. which won
the coveted promotion at the examin-
alton, a few days ago. follows:
"A good citizen should never vote
fo~ a man who is a CRATER bccause
he will put all the money in his
pocket, neglect his duties and not try
to make the city prosper.
"He should yc'e against the IL
quor traffic and never touch II. He
SHOULD never use profane language,
and he will always willingly help
the poor and needy.
"He should vote toward paving
streets and try to make his city a
good place to live in. He should have
good schools and send his children
to them.
"He would try to stop the armies
from having money to spend op ships
of war. and not have war. but turn
il over to the cities 20 make them
beautiful.
"Then there would be sewers, wa
