ideal SPOT FOR CAMP
CLAIM AT INSPECTION
CONTINUED from page y

the Middlesex County tuberculosis
League.
The party arrived at the site.
which is about five miles from this
city and about six miles from New
Brunswick about half past ;wo and
a thorough inspection of the 2S0
acres, which comprise the land, was
made, and without exception every
one of the party declared the loea,-
ton to be an ideal spot for IL sum-
mer camp for organizations and
childrcn's gatherings.
AS explained by w. B. Pratt, who
formerly owned the site, the iaad
was at spots $50 feet in elevation,
and that on a clear day a good view
OF the Orange mountains and of
Princeton could be gotten. as well as
other cities and places many miles
away. About $50 acres of this high
land is situated on the site.
One of the objections of the State
Board of Health was that there was
present on the land many little
brooks n ponds, containing stag
nant water. These. it was said YES
tefday' could be drained with little
expense.
~ Nip tOoh HIS HfSI llnlDS
OF the land yesterday would describe
II as being a landscape dotted here
n there with beautiful silverv-
water running brooks glistening in
the Il and enclosed with banks of
bright green moss. Scattered with
big shady trees. burdened and hang
ing with the first blossoms of the
early summer, that Sent forth into
the air odors of luscious perfumes.
Hills terraces covered with high
grass here and there, and a great
abundance of vioIets tinting the
green grass with a bright purple.
These in addition to a spring empty
ing from it thousands and thou
sands of gallons of fresh cool water
a day, are few of the many sights
that created the concrete sentiment
of the land being an ideal spot for
a summer camp, by those who in
spected the location yesterday.
Following the inspection Miss Jane
Packard, secretary of the Middlesex
Tuberculosis League, asked that
each head of the various organiza-
tons create the same sentiment into
their organization, in order that a
concrete plan might be made to
present to the Board of Freeholders,
sometime in the near future, in an
effort to have the board discard the
thoughts of selling the site, and to
convert it into a summe camp for
county children.
