dinero que la desazonan, el, que la ofre-

madre. Juana Dore, con dulzura. pero
resuelta, Sc los MEGA. Jacobo, triste-

-Bueno. Sc los ire 4 pedir al padri-

town to get an idea of the magni-
tude of the undertaking. AS soon as
the terminal Is completed I have no
doubt there will be a decided i'm
provement in all of the lines operat-
ing near the center of the city and
facilities will be provided for the
handling of interurban service to far
outlying points.
This phase of the development
alone will mean a great deal to the
merchants of Newark, for with bet
ter service more people will be
brought here to shop from such
places as far north as Ridgewood,
and as far south as Trenton, taking
in many of the intervening centres of
population.
"Of just as great Importance is the
fact that the additional lines and the
improvements will give our own people
just about twice the facilities they
have at the present time for getting
to and from their work. their places
of business and the shopping districts.
Transportation Facilities Up-to-d date.
mo city can thrive unless it's trans
portation facilities keep pace with it's
development. Newark is going ahead
rapidly and 1t was absolutely neces-
sary that we should get out of the rut
| which kept our street railway facili-
| ties at a standstill for twenty years
| and make provisions for bringing
them up to date.
THE Improvement already noted
justifies the action of the board in
making the grants and when the work
is completed and the terminal in oper-
alton, feel certain that the people of
Newark will say that no greater boom
has come to the city since the days
when a previous Democratic admins
tration had the wisdom and the over
sight to provide Newark with a water
supply. than which no city in the
country has q better one
THE renewal of car operation over
the Clay street bridge, after eighteen
months of idleness, has restored to
Newark business people patronage
that was fast finding it's way to other
places.
Transfer System Benefits.
"Since the adoption of the transfer
on transfer system, many thousands
of people are saving time in transpor-
tation by taking the shortest route to
their destination, instead of being
compelled to Journey to Broad and
Market and, despite the feeling that
the system would be cumbersome, but

since September /.

PRAISES C|TY'S
DEMOCRAT|CR RULE
Tax Commissioned Reichman
Would Publish Speeches Of
HaussIing and Nugent.

Tax Commissioner Moses Reichman
said last night that, under the present
city administration, property in Rose
vile has increased enormously in
value-in some instances $50 per cent.
in seven years. The declaration was
made in the course of speech at the
Eleventh Ward Democratic Club at
SO Roseville avenue. The tax commits
sioner also suggested that the Elev-
enth Ward Democratic Executive
committee should publish in pamphlet
form the recent speeches of Mayor
Haussling and City Counsel James
r. Nugent as for general circulation
as comprehensive expositions OF the
benefits of Democratic rule in New
ark.
1t was decided to hold a number of
open air meetings, as follows Octo-
Der 10, Orange street and Hedden
place; October 10. Central avenue and
Thirteenth street; October 81. SPRING
dale avenue and Thirteenth street
On October 20 a mass meeting will be
held at Orange and North Seventh
streets, to be preceded by a ward
parade.
Besides Mr.. Reichman James s..
Coghlan.. the aldermanic candidate,
and Thomas A. Blaney made ad-
dresses. william J. Mooney was Sc
lected as delegate to the First Voters
Club.

Schools Hold Exercises
OF Appropriate Nature in
Columbus Day Observance

Appropriate exercises commemorate
ing Columbus Day were held in all
the public and parochial schools in
the city yesterday, and the pupils
were invited. In the name of the Conn
mon Council, to join in the choruses
at Branch Brook Park on Monday.
At the Barringer High School the
pupils opened and closed the exer-.
clses with songs. Five recitations on
the Career OF Columbus were given.
Stewart Hedden recited Ills Dream:
Katherine Berry, His Struggles for
Recognition; Josephine Rathbone,
His Courage and Persistence:
Ethel Schaeffer, His Success and
Ephraim Eisenberg, His Achieves
ment, His Memorial"
In the Central High School there
was choral singing by the pupils
The voice culture class sang my
Heart at Thy Dear Voice." THE Con-
quest of the Air." "a Serenade'' and
the HUM arian Dance" The orches4
ira rendered several overtures. Jacob

Plan Commission, q body appointed
especially to study the future needs
of the city and make recommends
tons.
Experts Approve City Plans.
The City Plan Commission, at the
advice of an expert engineer and the
members, gave their approval of the
general plan. The Board of Works
as a future means of safeguarding the
interests of the city invited and re-
ceived the assistance of q committee
of engineers including e, P. Good
rich, of the City Pfdn Commission,
and Philander Belts, engineer of the
State Board of Public Utility Commits
sioners, to go over the plans with
them and point out how they might
be improved.
These engineers unanimously
agreed that the plans before the
board were the vefy best available;
that the grants asked for would re-
lieve congestion and improve the rail-
way service to the lasting benefit of
the city and its. citizens.
Engineer Belts declared that the
loop method of operating cars in the
centre of the city had been consid-
cred good practice all over the coun-
try for more than ten years, and thai
Public Service railway in offering tc
erect a terminal was supplying neces-
sary loops on its own property In
stead of on the public streets.
Months passed before any of the
grants We're made. When the neces-
sary permission had been given and
the State Board of Public Utility
Commissioners had approved the or
dinances the company showed It's
good faith by starting work prompt
ly within three months; had enough
lines rerouted to absolutely relieve the
congestion at Broad and Market
streets as was said would be done.
Bergen street Extension.
THE Berger street extension was
also put in operation and l wonder
If any resident down in that section
would feel like going back to former
conditions when they found they had
no cars within ten minutes walk.
Service was also put on the Haw-
thorne line, but the through opera
ton of these cars can't be started
until Front street is Strengthened and
the Passaic Valley Commission gets
through with its work on Ogden
street.
Work on the terminal and Its sub
way approach is SO far under way
that it would be worth any mans
while to stop at Park Place for @
moment some time when he Is down.

IN CONGRESS RACE
Harrison Man Files Petition for
Honor In the Eighth
District.

What is looked upon by West Hud-
son Democrats as an attempt to
weaken the chances of Gerald e. #.
Mcdonald, of Harrison, Democratic
candidate for Congress in the Eighth
c:strict, Is the action of Thomas j.
Duffy, of East Newark, in filing a pc
tition as a congress candidate. Prom
inent Democrats declare Republicans
are responsible for Duffy's entry into
the race.
When 1t became known today that
the petition had been filed, there was
considerable CONSERVATION in the
Democratic ranks. Open charges of
Republican interference were made
and names were mentioned. 1t was
even charged that those who engi-
neered the deal were particularly
happy to get Duffy because of the
fact hts name would be the first Dem
ocratic one to appear on the ticket
and as a result he would stand a
chance of getting many votes that
should go to Mcdonald.
1t is understood that Mr.. Mcdonald
knew yesterday of the move. There
are many Democrats who intend to
take more than a passing interest in
the political battle in behalf of Mr..
