lars by the company, relief from the
terrible congestion of traffic so long
suffered in the centre of the city,
heavy increases of property values in
the business section, and an indirect
but appreciable benefit to every sec
ton of the city and to many of the
surrounding municipalities. Other
measures for the improvement of the
trolley service In the interest of the
public are pending, to which I prom
Use my cordial support.
THE great scheme of meadow
reclamation and improvement of ship
ping facilities by rail and water still
awaits realization. BY reason of the
condition of the financial market dur
ing the present year it has been inn
possible to begin actual work, It Is
the purpose of the board, in which I
concur. to adopt formally such plans
for the Improvement as promise the
largest public benefit and to inaugu-
rate the work as early as may be.
Recent Investigations have con-
firmed previous studies showing that
Newark might with advantage estab-
lish an electric plant for the lighting
of the streets and possibly for the
sale of current to the private con-
sumers also. Power which is now
running to waste in the watershed
could be utilized in conjunction with
power developed through the incinera-
ton of garbage and other waste to
the great benefit of the city. The
repaving of Broad street, our prin-
cipal thoroughfare, has engaged pub
lie attention and caused great agita-
ton for a number of years. This
work should be delayed no longer, but
am unalterably opposed to the use
wood block on this street. / be-
lieve that material to be highly un-
suitable to such a highway as Broad
street. as 1t would, in my opinion, be
dangerous, insanitary and expensive
besides having other positive disad-
vantages. 1 believe the only pave
ment suitable for the street is the
modern form of granite block, close
iointed and grouted with cement
which offers smooth surface and al
the same time foothold for horses
and outlasts any other form of pave
ment known. / would commend the
public messages on this subject OF
his honor. Mayor Haussling, to the
consideration of those who may be
interested. A perusal of these papers
would convince the unprecedented
reader that the case against wood
block is complete and final.
1.-THE further development of New
ark's splendid water supply has re-
ceived particular attention at the
hands of the board Many hundreds
of acres of land have been purchased
for the purpose of wiping out present
or possible sources of pollution and
providing additional opportunities fol-
storage. BY forestration of large
areas and by other methods the ca
pacity of the watershed is being grad
ually but appreciably increased"

Newark Women's Congress
Refuses to Debate Suffrage

Because it may be thought that
the Newark Congress was formed to
antagonize woman suffrage, the or
ganization will not accept an invita-
ton from the Women's Political
Union to engage in debate. The
union suggested that several MEM
bers of the newly-formed congress
take the negative side of the suf-
frage question against the affirmative
by the union members.
In declining the invitation, the let
ter sent by the congress says that
the organization was formed to pro-
mote public speaking generally
among the organizers and that a
number of the members are neutral
on the suffrage question.
