TWO IMPORTANT PROJECTS

The two projects for civic betterment that the Rotary Club has
decided to back during the coming year are worthy OF that lntlu-
entail organization. Fairgrounds have ceased to be a fad. With
the constantly increasing automobile traffic on the streets OF the
city some provision must be made for the children to play. 1t il
lust IS natural for the children to play as til for the vehicles to
Isl the streets. But the streets are intended for traffic, and some
other provision ought 10 be made for the children.
In developing Fairgrounds something more than two or three
general Fairgrounds is needed. There are numerous vacant lots IN
different parts of the city where it is possible for the children to
81 lots owe something to the city in return for helping to make them
rich without them doing anything to earh the increased wealth.
The land lies there idle increasing in value all the time, and the
taxes are nominal because it is classed as unimproved property.
land S Fairgrounds for the children of the immediate nelghbor-
hood. A score of such Fairgrounds equipped with a few swings
and slides scattered all over the city would mean a lot to the
drivers Of vehicles as well as to the children.
AS for the bridge to Tottenvile, it is something that IS bound
to come. and the more agitation that is carried on IN its behalf the
sooner it will be realized. 1t is a big project worthy OF a big or
aanization. There is no doubt that Rotary can help a great deal
ain getting the bridge erected.
BY getting behind these two projects and making them their
special work for the year in civic matters, the Rotarians are build
ing for Perth Amboy. They are both worth while, and whatever
Rotary does to bring them about will carry much weight. With
xrIhe Rotary Club leading in these movements citizens who want to
see Perth Amboy advance can lend their support also and by all
working together success is assured.
