No, this picture was not taken In
Perth Amboy. 1t shows a small
triangular park that has just been
opened in the Greenville section of
Jersey City and the cut has been
kindly loaned to us by the Jersey
City Journal. We desired to run 1t
SO as to show the people of Perth
Amboy what other cities are doing
with small plots OF ground in differr
ent sections, affording not only a
breathing place for the people living
in the vicinity, but liking an attrac-
tive spot tnat cannot help but en-
hance property values and make the
city as whole better place to live
in.
Look at this picture of what has
been done with a small tract of land
in Jersey City and then go to New
Brunswick avenue and Fayette street,
IN our own city. and view that open
lot on the southwest corner that be-
longs to the city. The contrast Is
most. striking. 1t might be well to
carry this picture along with you so
as to make the comparison the more
complete Just try to picture TO
yourself what the section of the city

were made.
Panic stricken when every exit
was blocked by flames and smoke

Fayette street would look like II
fixed up similar to the way Jersey
City has fixed up this triangle In the
Greenville section. Just imagine the
impression 1t would make on the
hundreds Of strangers who pass along
New Brunswick avenue every day.
But most important of all, think of
the enjoyment and benefit 1t would
be to the hundreds OF people who
are crowded into the tenements in
this section of the city.
1t would not cost Perth Amboy
much to Ak up Its property at New
Brunswick avenue and Fayette
street in manner similar to the
picture shown here. A more central
spot for a park such as this could
not be found. A path or two, few
benches, some trees and grass would
be all that would be necessary.
But, at least, the site in question
can be cleaned up so as to be made
far more slightly than 1t is at present.
Perth Amboy cannot afford to let this
eyesore remain as II is, The Jersey
City idea Is much better Look at
the picture again, then seeS the plot
at New Brunswick avenue and
Fayette street and think it over.

City Is Ready to Observe Inde-
psnds|pes Day fltilng|y,
PEOPLE TO HAAG OUT FLAGS

Independence Day will be cele-
brated in this city tomorrow with
such pomp and splendor as Will rival
celebrations of a similar nature held
heretofore, il the elaborate plans
made by workers in charge count
for anything Beginning at $3.50
o'clock tomorrow morning and con-
tinuing until midnight, there will
not be a quiet minute, except for
feasting, and all the mirth and gay
ETY. that can be aroused will be In
stilled In the demonstration. The
glorious Fourth will be celebrated in
most glorious manner" iS the way
Mayor Ferd Garretson, chairman of
the general committee In charge,
puts it. He and his assemblage of
workers have exerted themselves to
outdo previous performances, and
the general predicNons are that to-
morrow's celebration will please q
larger number of people and to .
greater extent than has any other of
It's kind In the history of this old
Jersey town.
Many Big Features.
1t Is difficult to pick out any feat.
ment Each item of the program
will be a feature in itself, 1t is
claimed The events will be present
ed at the time and place given in the
accompanying list. The closing
event for the majority of celebants
will be the fireworks displays at
North Amboy and at the bluff along
Water street, near Lewis street, but
the real closing number will be dane
ing to the strains of the latest pop
luar airs on King street, between
Smith and Market streets This Is
new feature and 1t is the belief
of those in charge that 1t will please
to great extent.
All of the necessary arrangements
for the demonstration have been
completed, annouce the corps Of
workers They promise that there
will not be dull moment during
the celebration and that this years
production will demonstrate to a
greater extent than ever that 1t Is
far better in every way to celebrate
In safe and sane manner, than by
the old and dangerous method They
will endeavor to prove that the. pub
lie can be better satisfied with this
sort of demonstration than by the
old one OF shooting off frecrackers,
pistols and the like.
There is more than $1,700 on
hand and ready for furnishing the
demonstration, announced Mayor
Garretson today He stated that so
much money was coming in that the
committe found it necessary to give
further consideration to expending II
to the best advantage of all concern
ed. He estimated that there would
be at least 500 more than was need
ed, according to the program design
ed recently. He has suggested that
this be used to give treat to prize
winners In athletic events.

day proved powerless to break the
iron ranks of distinction of the
Austrian court. The royal birth OF
