SCOUT CRUISER 0NE0F FINEST
 SHIPS AFL0A1
U. s. s. Omaha Declared Best of Vessels
 in World

TACOMA, March 20.-The scout cruiser Omaha, the first of ten s1m- liar vessels which will form part of the United States Navy, is pro- nounced by naval experts who have seen her to be one of the finest ships afloat.
 The Omaha and her sister ships will have the speed of torpedo boat destroyers and the armament of light cruisers, and they constitute a new class in the American Navy.
 The Omaha, which is now being given her finishing touches at the Puget Sound Navy Yard, at Bremen ton, has a horsepower development larger than any other ship afloat except vessels of the Hood class in the British Navy. Her boilers are designed to produce 105,000 horse power, or several times as much as the municipal plant which serves this city with electricity. Her boilers, if connected up, would supply all the electrical energy required for a city of quarter of million people, it has been estimated.
 With a speed of 34 knots or 40 miles an hour, the Omaha and her sister vessels are designed to serve as scouts for the fighting ships of the Navy. They will carry anti-air- craft guns, small rapid-fire rifles, machine guns and torpedo tubes for their own defense, but their main reliance will be their tremendous speed
 Tests thus far conducted with the Omaha have gratified naval officers. These tests were conducted on Puget Sound, and when the Omaha is all fitted out she will be headed for the Pacific and given opportunity to show just what she can do in a race against time in the ocean.
 The Omaha was built by the Todd Drydock and Construction Company here, which is also building her sis ter ships, the Milwaukee and the Cincinnati. The other seven vessels of this class are being constructed in eastern yards. The Milwaukee and the Cincinnati will be ready for their first trials later this year.

MENLO PARK RECREATION
SITE MOVE PUSHED

That the Middlesex County Recre-
alton Council will do it's utmost to
have the site at Menlo Park opened
by the spring of next year was de-
cided yesterday afternoon at a meet
ing of a committee appointed at a
recent meeting of the council to COL
lect data to present to the Board of
Freeholders.
The chief topic talked on yester-
day was the appointment of a COM
mittee of three to investigate a legal
plan whereby the council may OBJ
tain the property from the freehold
ers. This committee will be appoint
ed in a short time and they will in
turn gather the necessary Informal
ton as to the deed of the property.
When this step is completed and
all the necessary data, including that
to be received from an engineer as
to the drainage and a survey of the
site, another meeting will be called.
During the course of the meeting
the matter of just what children
were to be taken care of on the
property when it is converted into a
r~ecreational and camping center was
also talked over. Following a short
discussion it was moved, in addition
TO sending under-nourished children
to the camp during the summer
months, that provided ample provi-
sions can be secured at the site, and
the organization feels to extend it's
activities, arrangements could be
made for all the children of the
county and probably adults as we'll.
The erection of buildings and
equipment could be taken care of by
enlisting the services of the various
trade unions and the manufacturers
of material, it was pointed out, while
the maintenance of the camp could
be arranged by enrolling every or
ganization in the county and by in
dividual subscription.
Those present yesterday were: DR..
Charles 1. Silk, who presided, Fred
w. DeVoe, DIR. Charles w. Naulty,
Harry Medinets, L. E. Molineux,
Miss Jane Packard, secretary of the
Middlesex County tuberculosis
League, and Emil Stremlau.

it was la;er learned, met Comr2iss-
Toner Jelin and the commissioners
proceeded to Cleveland venue where
they studied conditions. Suggestions
have been made and sketches drawn
for the paving of Cleveland avenue
and Krochmally avenue with the in
tention of making a new route for
the heavy Amboy avenue through
shore traffic. Suggestions also have
been made that a new road be cut
as a continuation Of Cleveland ave-
nue. through the Maurer tract to AM
bog avoaue at a point near the city
line.
The laying of the concrete base on
Amboy avenue has proceeded as far
as possible until some arrangement
is made to afford suitable drainage
along the stretch which still remains
to be laid through the clay banks
it is learned. According to City En-
gineer Booz one of the state high
way engineers has already recon-
mended the use of cinders to afford
this necessary drainage and the APP
prevail of the commission is awaited
before the additional work is done.
The use of cinders will entail an add
ed expense to the work but the city
engineer told the commissioners this
morning that the road cannot come
up to the states standards unless
this extra work is done.
A short detour has been made
necessary for several days while the
part of Amboy avenue at the top of
the hill is being surfaced. This work
should be finished today or tomor-
row and the new road as far as In
slice street will again be open al
though parts of it will be closed
while the remaining ~surfacing mater
ial is laid. 1t is likely that n
half Of the remainder of this part of
the road will be resureaced at a
time SO that the other half will be
open to traffic thus making q de-
tour unnecessary.
The AIDE men look ed over con-
ditions at Amboy avenue and Inslee
street this morning and it was de-
cided to take steps at once to connect
up the new road and the old one at
his point.
At present cars must turn off the
new road into Inslee street, swing
sharply around a hydrant go up
over the sidewalk close to Hoffman's
building and then proceed over a
narrow, bunny, and dangerous part
of the old road for a distance of
about 200 feet. The aldermen in
tend to have constructed a temper
AIRY crossing which will do away with
this bad condition and make it pos
sible for cars to continue from the
new road to that part of the old
road which is full width. without
making any "hairpin" turns or pass
ing along a dangerous stretch of
road.
