Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-07-29
R THAT ARE ARK

Not a summer goes by without the EVENING NEWS re-
ceiving two or three postal cards from Perth Amboyans who
are spending their vacation in different parts of the country,
showing views Of parks in different cities. A postal card re-
ceived Yesterday is from Chicago and reads as follows: "See-
ing YOU were interested in parks I send you this. Chicago has
it on all of Them
Perth Amboy people travel about the country seeing the
excellent parks that other places have, but they seem to think
that such things are not intended for Perth Amboy. That IS
where they are mistaken. We can have anything the people
want here. All that is necessary is to insist upon having it.
Perth Amboy, of course, does not expect a park system
like Chicago's or New York's or Newark's, but we can make a
beginning and unless we do make a real beginning pretty soon
we will find ourselves as big as Newark or Chicago without any
adequate park system whatever.
The beautiful picture on the reverse side of the postal
card received from Chicago yesterday shows a scene in Gar
field park, Chicago. The description states that it consists of
1873 acres.
Parks we must have if the city is to be a progressive city
and one worth living in. Where are these parks to be located?
One thing we must insist on---that at least a certain portion OF
our waterfront be set aside for the use of the people. DOCKS
and terminals we have got to have and the waterfront is the
only place that they can be placed, but just as New York guards
religiously her Battery Park in spite of the congestion of ship
ping in the harbor, SO Perth Amboy must have a certain section
of the beach set aside where the people can go to battle and
enjoy the cooling breezes off the water The Hayes tract east
ward, including Caledonia park and around the Bluff, seems to
be the logical place for this site, but a comprehensive city plan
would show Just what is feasible in this regard.
But these parks are small compared with such parks as
the city must have to be a real city, just as Battery Park is
small compared with Central Park or Bronx Park. Perth Am
boy needs q city plan in order to locate the site of these parks
although they may not be developed for some years to come.
But knowing that parks are eventually to be located in q GER
tain section the development of the surrounding property can
go on accefategly. Industries can be kept away and the streets
as they are laid outean be made wide like boulevards.
That the people are interested in development Of this kind
is evident from the postal cards which frequently come to the
EVENING NEWS giving views of parks elsewhere. There is
no reason why Perth Amboy cannot have things just as nice.
Let us get a city plan and then start the development along the
right lines.
