KEEPING STREETS REPAIRED.

Newark had adopted q system of
patrol for keeping the street pave
ments in repair. The city is divided
into seven districts each with its
corps of inspectors and repair gangs.
The inspectors will patrol the streets,
observe where repairs are needed and
get the repair gang at work without
loss of time. An agreement has been
made with the Public Service Railway
Company whereby the city's repair
gang will fix up between the trolley
tracks. the cost being charged to the
Public Service. 1t is well known that
once disintegration sets in 1t extends
rapidly under the wear and tear of the
heavy traffic. With the new plan in
effect Newark officials feel that the de-
Ifects in the pavement should be cured
before they have time to spread.
There certainly is much merit in
such a system as this. 1t is the method
used by the railroad companies in
keeping up their road bed and IL is
just such a system as has been urged
upon the county for the upkeep of the
county highways.
Incidentally. 1t is interesting to note
that this efficiency on the part of New
ark is the result of commission form
of government which was adopted
there a few years ago. Commissioner
Raymond has direct charge of this
particular branch of the municipal
government. He is alone responsible
for the condition of the streets in New
ark and he is taking such steps as
will give the people real service and
also uphold his own reputation.

The Story of Sixteen
G.. o. p. Conventions
Thirteenth Convention
BY A. II.

Thirteenth Convention
The thirteenth Republican National
| Convention met at Chicago June 81,
1904. Mark Hanna-chairman of the
National Committee. n perhaps the
most ~cartooned man in American pub
lie life-had died February 15 pre-
Vious. and the gathering was called
10 order by Vice Chairman Henry c.
Payne. Elihu Root of New York was
Temporary chairman, and Uncle joe
Cannon was permanent chairman.
So thoroughly ~pre-ordained was the
Conventions routine. that about the
only contest stirred up in the three
days sitting was over a motion to
cut Hawaii to two delegates-a mo-
ton which carried by the close di-
vision of 495 to 400.
The assassination of Mckinley and
Ithe eminently successful and popular
succession of Theodore Roosevelt,
made it inevitable that his name alone
should be considered for first place
on the ticket. He received 994 votes
the Convention total.
Possibility of argument over the
Vice-Presidency was foreclosed by ad-
vance agreement that the place should
go to Charles w. Fairbanks OF Indi-
ana. Speaker Cannon had at first
been considered but fatty refused to
allow his name to be used. Fairbanks
likewise postponed decision until the
eleventh hour. But when his consent
was obtained, no other candidates
were ever considered.
The platform again made tariff pro-
lection a paramount issue; renewed
allegiance to the gold standard; fav-
ored legislation to build up the
American merchant marine and a
powerful avy declared for the peace
full settlement of international differ
ences by arbitration; declared for the
vigorous protection Of American citi-
zens in foreign lands: condemned un-
lawful combinations of Capital or Of
and vigorously approved Roose-
velt's foreign policy, as particularly
emphasized in the Venezuela case, in
the Orient, along the Alaskan boun-
dairy. and in the acquisition of the
Panama Canal.

A BEAUTY SPOT.

Have you visited Caledonia park
this season? Located at the foot of
High street overlooking the bay and
river, 1t is one of the prettiest and
most delightful spots to be found any
where hereabouts. Park Superinten-
dent Tooker has worked wonders with
the grass. the flower beds n the
winding paths. 1t is not a very large
park, to be sure, but such as 1t is,
1t is a decided credit to'the city.It only
goes to show what can De done If we
really set out to have a park.
What Il pity this beautiful spot
should be marred by the gas works
Immediately adjoining. 1t only needs
the purchase of this gas works prop
ther west to link Caledonia park with
the Hayes tract which the city already
owns and where there is a sandy beach
suitable for a municipal bathing
beach once the sewer are removed.
One would hardly believe that such
q Transformation as has taken place at
h foot of High street were possible
when we recall The old emery mills
that were located there only a few
years ago. 1t is an illustration of
what could be done with the gas works
removed to a more suitable location.
The people are entitled to this water
front pleasure ground. Negotiations
with the gas company for the purchase
of its site ought not to be dropped.
There are some things hat are abso-
lutely essential to a city of this size
and character. One of them Is ade-
quate parks. Caledonia park shows
what can be lone In this direction on
the waterfront.
