Hope Cottage, In Elizabeth avenue,
near Long Fill, was the first home of
the society in Newark, being or
ganized April i. 1901. The aim of the
society at that time was to provide a
home for hayward girls Of New York,
removed from the evil influences of
city life. In December, 1903. the So
Getty became known as the Newark
Florence Crittenton League.
Hope Cottage soon became made
quate, so far as accommodations were
concerned. it only having room for
eight inmates, while the needs of the
society called for the accommodation
of at least ten or twelve grown people
and five or six children. Some of the
! inmates at this time were compelled
to sleep on the floors.

that the road be called "Owen Boule-
ward" In honor of the builder.
With the completion of the 1OO-foot
roadway the question OF an outlet
into Newark becames once more a
paramount question. AT present all
the heavy trucking, and that amounts
to thousands OF wagon loads daily,
comes in and out OF Newark over a
route leading over Market street and
Bowery street and Ferry street. Ihese
streets are badly congested at Tunes
Engineer owen recently revived a
plan that has been talked of many
times, but never got any further than
the talk stage. That was for the city
of Newark to improve Passaic ave-
nue.. which connects with the Plank
road at its western end at Blanchard
street.
Passaic avenue would make a di-
rect route from Blanchard street 10
Market street at Madison street, and
would greatly relieve the present con-
Eestion on Ferry, Bowery and Maj
ket streets. and would also reduce the
hauling distance between Market ana
Broad streets and Jersey City by a
half mile or more. 1t is an actual tact
that 1t now takes heavily loaded
wagons a longer length OF time TO
traverse the heavily congeSted Mar
ket and Bowery and Ferry streets, a
distance of about one mile, than 1t
does 10 travel the entire two and one
NTH miles on the new granite block
roadway from Blanchard street, New
ark. to Marcy street, Jersey CITY:
Ihe oId Plank road naS mad a
rather interesting history. Back

some Newark men, reaiiZing that
there was a possibility OF making
money by improving the road anu
charging toll for its use, went to the
Legislature and got an act through
creating the Plank road.
The act gave the Plank road cor
poration a life of fifty years and as
soon as 1t was granted the road was
planked and the charging OF toll
commenced. The Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, seeing the big revenue
that was being made by the Plank
Road Company, as well az the result
ant loss of freight revenue to itself.
gradually commenced to buy up the
Plank road stock. until the railroad
company virtually owned all of 1t.
Then the toll rates were Increased
to such a price that for years Ii cost
a Newark merchant $3.50 toll on a
team of horses and a wagon that
made the round trip to New York
after merchandise. The merchants
finally organized to force this rate
down and at that time. about twenty
years ago, the fifty-year franchise
for the Plank road ran out.
Efforts to renew 1t failed through
fights made against it by the Newark
Board of Trade and merchants and
the road reverted to the counties of
Essex and Hudson, where the title
lies today. In the last few years

LONGS SUCCESSOR
|SPOL|CE PUZZLE.
Three Eligibles Working Hard
for Advancement as Official
Circles Speculate.

Speculation is rife in police circles
as to who win be named as captain
to I'LL the vacancy caused by the ele-
to the position Of chief OF the de-
partment.
For the first time in the history
of the Civil Service Commission a
list of three eligibles for the posi-
ton was forwarded to the Board Of
Police Commissioners without the
former body being requested to do SO.
This list is headed by Lieutenant
Frank w. Tuite. followed by Joseph
Cordano with Thomas ]. CORDIALLY
third, according to the mental and
physical tests taken at the last ex-
animation.
Lieutenant Tuite is Republican,
and the other two on the list are
Democrats. The question has arisen
will the board of commissioners be
governed by precedent and name the
first on the list.
Among prominent members of the
Democratic party It is contended that
the Civil Service Commissioners sim
ply have to submit list of three
eligibles for the position and that 1t
lies to the discretion Of the board to
make It's choice.
The contention OF the Democrats
is that the vacancy in the department
Is a Democratic one. and that, there
fore, Lieutenant Tuite will be passed
over and one of the others be ele-
waited. Followers of Cordano and
CORDIALLY are working etrenuously for
their respective man to be promoted,
but II is not probable that any action
will be taken In the matter until after
election.
Mayor Haussling believes that pre-
cedent should he followed and the
man heading the certified list be
named first The intent of the law
should be respected.
However, by that time it is
thought that the new sub-station in
vailsburg will be completed, and it
Is also believed that captain will
be fade to command that precinct.
Formerly there was a captain in
command of police headquarters al
night, but this position has been va
cant for several years. 1t is believed
that a lieutenant will be profated to
fill this vacancy, and in that event
all three lieutenants ON the eligible
list will be elevated.
The creation of the Office of inspec-
tor has been under consideration b5
the board members for some time
but no action has been taken to date

cause she is deaf.
The two children are students of

grief.

Mrs. H. A. Burger. at 400 Grter ave-
nue.. and returning home, searched
for his parents when they failed to
answer his call. In the attic room
he found his mother seated on the
floor against his bed, her hands over
her face and blood trickling from g
wound in her heart. His father
body was stretched out on the floor

his mouth. and nearby lay new 81

had made to save her life.
