DEOPLE'S
I ROSTRUM
hawthorne Avenue trolley,

Hawthorne Avenue Trolley.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-Among the burning ques-
lions of today is one which should re-
ceive attention at once. This is the
proposed Hawthorne avenue trolley
line
We have been told that nothing in
this direction can be done until The
matter of terminal franchise and
other trolley franchises could be dis
posed of. This is certainly erroneous.
1t is somewhat over two years that
the franchise agent, Mr.. Muchmore,
of the Public Service Corporation sue
ceeded in obtaining the consent Of
property owners to lay tracks, erect
poles and string wires. Nothing has
been done since but talk, talk, talk.
In the meanwhile the property
owner who is so unfortunate as TO
possess real estate in this section IS
grooming under the burden of taxa
ton and under the burden of asses
ments for improvements. If he could
occasionally sell lot or a house it
would not be so bad, but people will
not buy.
If you make an offer which even
means a great sacrifice the pros
pective buyer says ooh, 1t is too
far from any trolley"
A relation of your humble servant
is the owner of a one-family house
in the above section. The cost of
erection of the building was $S,46O;
value of lot $3.50, or a total expendi-
ture of $4010. The property should
bring $50 month, but being so far
out and eighteen minutes from the
nearest trolley line Clinton avenue)
he offered it for a rental of $22 per
month. He could not even rent 1t at
this figure. The only objection was the
great distance from trolley.
Now taking into consideration the
taxes water bills. insurance, little
repair. interest on a small mortgage
of $1,000, and the property being va
cant five months out of the year,
where does the owner of above-named
property derive any profit on his
investment? He could not!
This is only one instance.
1t is estimated that the establish
ment of trolley line through Haw-
thorne avenue would bring $500 va
cant building lots within a walking
distance of from one to ten minutes.
If only 200 houses will be erected a
year in the affected district, this
would mean an extra income to the
city treasury of about $4,000 annually.
Many other benefits to the public
in general would be bestowed.
nf the
healthiest in the city of Newark,
would what we call "boom" and fine
residences would sprout out of the
ground like mushrooms after rain
One more point showing how urgent
1t is to push this work. Hawthorne
avenue must be paved. Yes, paved
this year, in order to prevent about
one-sixth of the street shifting from
Osborne terrace down into the bay.
Conditions of this avenue at pres
ent are unspeakable and dangerous
and the only remedy is immediate ac-
ton by our Board of Street and Water
Commissioners. Get the trolley cars
running and the street paved. gen.
tlemen, and you will have thankful
public, and what perhaps would in
terest you more, voters who would
cast their ballots for you at the next
election. Respectfully,

he was boarding a boat for Liverpool.
During the excitement woman dressed
for the opera had appeared in the
crowd about the house and, forcing her

objective.
"Casino-Central ParlS-go FAST"
she said. During the drive she
stared straight ahead and talked in
low undertones to herself. This
was an old habit, born of her half

in her days of active practise. In
these later days she was still wont
to argue out in soft phrases of her

health are the rewards. There are
long tramps by day, or canoe trips

rE& HERE are so many attractions
about camping as a means of
enjoying ones vacation that it
is almost in a class by itself. es-
pecially in the comparatively newer
parts of the country, and in the older
parts also there are many thousands
who enjoy this form of recreation.
Its greatest advantage over the sum
mer resort Is that one can go into
the wilder and less frequented coun-
try, and need not be tied to the
neighborhood of settled communities.
1t is true there are some disadvan-
tages; but to the experienced camper
these do not count. There is a lot
of work to be done, there are some
discomforts to be met with; but these
are outweighed by the pleasure and
the freedom experienced.
One thing is absolutely essential
to the successful camp-water. There
must be a stream nearby or a lake
at the tent door, and spring for
drinking water is necessary. And
there should be woods, for shade and
privacy that adds so much to the
pleasure of camp life. After the first
experience one has pretty good
idea of the necessities of this form
of outing--a good tent, with fly to
keep off rain and sun, bedding, pro-
visions, cooking equipment, boat or
canoe to explore the neighboring wa
ter. First of all. after the start, is
the choosing of the camp site, which
should be open enough and high
enough to keep 1t from dampness.
An ideal site is a level knoll top,
sloping at the back to the woods and
in front toward the lake shore. When
once the tent is pitched, bedding OF
green pine boughs installed, and the
