Newarll's street system is essen
tally rectangular. The various
streets run perpendicular to each
other and at regular intervals. Su-
perimposed upon this more or less
regular plan are number of dag
onal thoroughfares leading to the
many adjacent communities. These
diagonal thoroughfares are the ar
teries of the physical city through
which the flow of travel takes its
course. These radials converge di-
reetly or indirectly to the -Four
Corners" via. Broad street and
Market street. Hence the great con-
gestion at that point.
The radial thoroughfares should
not converge at q single point, or
points, but rather should be made to
spread their traffic over quite large
area and thus avoid concentration.
Such an area might be impossible in
many instances, but the physical
makeup of Newark is such as to
lend itself naturally TO this solution.
From High street to the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad and from the Lacka
wanna Railroad to Clinton avenue
lies the area which will some day be
Newarl's business, commercial and
traffic centre. 1t will be to Newark
what Manhattan Island, south of
Canal street. is to New York
Broad street will be the north and

by abandonment of the canal Tbs
second defect-the jog at Market
street-should be relieved by con-
demning and opening for street pur-
poses the southeast corner, as in tiis
diagram. The last defect-insuff1cieD
width and directness, could be appre-
ciably remedied by the Judicious es-
tabIishment of building lines and 2
time limit fixed for all abutting own
ers to reconstruct their buildings in
conformity Herewith.
The most necessary and expensive
project in the development of Wash
ington street is the Strengthening at
Market street. Property values are
high here and the Improvement
would not produce immediate tangi
BILE results, yet the benefit to the city
at large would be inestimable within
a very short period. By reason Of
this Improvement Washington street
would develop sufficiently in ten
years, because of increased vehicular
and trolley traffic, to entirely recon
pense the city in increased property
values throughout it's entire length
1t is estimated that the improve
ment would cost considerably less
than $2,000,000. Real estate within
the zone of Improvement is assessed
at 100000.

south axis and Market street VIII be
the east and west axis. Through
streets within this area, parallel to
the axes, will absorb surplus travel
and surplus business. Not all OF
these streets can be equipped with
transit facilities, for some must be
reserved for vehicular travel. 1t
therefore remains only to determine
which of these through parallel
streets can be used.
Washington street is that which
first suggested itself as Broad street S
natural subsidiary. It's location is
strategic. 1t is substantially parallel
to Broad street, crosses the entire
length of this future central business
section, and has it's origin at Bridge
street, where through traffic enters
Newark from the east and northeast.
Washington street is also just far
enough from Broad street to de-
velop as an independent business
thoroughfare Washington street,
however, has q few serious defects
which have retarded it's progress
The grade at the canal crossing is
very Objectionable. The jog at the
junction of Market street is very bad
and Washington street not sufficient
ly wide or straight to meet the re-
quirements of a good business thor

The board in question has very re-
Gently published q new plan for
meadow development. 1t follows the
lines of the canal scheme. 1t pro-
poses to build crib and fill in an
area of about 100 acres on the bay
front, Immediately north of the canal,
with pumpings of government dredges
now working in Newark Bay, and to
dig a channel 200 feet wide. from
deep water in Newark Bay to this
plot, and along the south side of it,
as shown on the map. From the
pumpings of this channel it proposes
to ill another plot of about 100 acres
just west of the first plot. Thus will
be created bit of dry land to which
additions can be made as called for.
Docks loo feet long are to be built
out from the first plot. Extensions
of Bay avenue and Avenue r are to
form connections between this area
and the city proper.
This plan can be adapted TO the
original canal scheme If desirable,
the latter. however, being postponed
for the present. The board wishes to
develop as quickly as possible the
land now in the city's possession.
An obvious objection to this scheme |
is it's great distance-two miles-from |
present day Newark, with no resi-
dence sites nearby and no transit ia |
cilities by which workers can go to
and from their homes. Moreover, 1t |

This proposed new thoroughfare
extends from the intersection Of

Park place, south to the Pennsylvania
Railroad station on Market street. Ut
Is one of the most urgent of all I'M
provemeDts. It's completion will pro-
duce many long desired results. First
and foremost, it will help to solve the
street car problem as can no other
single improvement. Cars from the
north can reach their destination
without approaching the now con-
gested -Four Corners" and give great
relief at that point.
1t will furnish another much needed
east and west thoroughfare via Mar
ket street and Diagonal street and
Central avenue, serving both vehicles
and trolleys. 1t will give direct COM
munication between the "Ironbound
District" and the north end Of town.
and immediate access to the former
by all pedestrians entering Newark
by the McAdoo tubes.
1t will open a new business thor

adjacent property values by giving
q natural incentive for expansion TO

Newark's Present Plans
In contrast to the suggestions here
tofore made there follows a brief
statement Of the plans laid down by
the Board of Street and Water Com
mlssioners OF Newark for an indie
pendent development, for Newark
only, OF a portion of the meadows
and of the bay shore, and of the
progress thus far made therein.
Some seven years ago the Board of
Street and Water Commissioners of
the city of Newark engaged the SER
vices of q Board of Consulting En-
gineers to report upon a plan for
meadow and harbor development.
This board reported in favor Of the
now well-known inland canal scheme.
1t suggested that the city purchase
a tract of meadow land, having
frontage of 1000 feet on Newark Bay
and extending inland very nearly to
the main line of the Pennsylvania
railroad The Peddie street ditch runs
through the centre of this tract.
The proposed canal, 700 feet wide
and 1000 feet long, was to be built
through the centre of this tract,
opening at it's inner end into a large
basin 1000 feet wide and about 5000
feet long. The excavated material
from canal and basin, 1t was esti-
mated, would serve as fill for the
entire tract TO be purchased. A de-
tailed plan was submitted. which
showed a street system, railroad sid
ings, public wharves, bulkheads, etc.
Estimates on costs for excavation
and fill and bulkhead construction
were also included in the general
plan.
Although the board In question has
never undertaken the execution OF
this scheme as 81 whole, 1t has, from
time to time, acquired property with
in this area, known as the canal zone
1t now owns probably so per
cent of the entire zone. A
large portion of the purchased

Elizabeth avenue and Frelinghuy
sen avenue are the only connecting
streets between Newark and Eliza
beth The grades and curves of the
former restrict it to local uses almost
exclusively. Frelinghuysen avenue is
broad, direct and very serviceable
highway, upon which a very consid-
cradle amount of traffic is always to
be found Its one great evil feature
is that 1t has absolutely no connection
at its northern extremity with any of
the prominent large local thorough
fares.
A glance at the map Of the city will
show that if Frelinghuysen avenue
We're continued to Clinton avenue IL
would very nearly meet the southern
extremity of Washington street. Such
a condition would be a highly desir-
able feature for many reasons. II
would create complete north and
south crosstown thoroughfare which
we do not now possess If Washing
