CITY PLAN FOR NEW BRUNSWICK

a city plan commission has been appointed in New Brunswick.
That city has already had a coming commission, but the idea of a
city plan for the future systematic development of the municipality
was not taken up until the recent election for city commissioners.
Several Of the candidates made an issue of the city plan idea and as
the popularity of the idea grew commissioners then in office took
steps toward having a city plan without waiting for the election.
The mayor has just appointed the member of the zoning commits
sion to be the city plan commissioners, also. Experts are to be en-
gagged and they are going to have a real plan for New Brunswick.
Perth Amboy has a city plan commission at work for several
years. 1t was only last year, however, that it began to show re-
suits. The preliminary report submitted to the Board of Aldermen.
together with the special report on the Fayette street DEVELOPMENT.
proved the worth of the commission. But the city has got to take
the city plan idea more seriously than it has in the past if some
thing worth while is to be accomplished. New Brunswick ought
not to be allowed to beat us in adopting a city plan. Perth Amboy
must bestr herself.

Twain and Harte. To Be
Honored

Honored
Mark Twain and Bret Harte are
to. be honored in the celebration that
will be formally opened when the
modern Pony Express rider COM
pletes the last lap and dashes into
San Francisco in September. Both
these famous writer's lived in the
far West in the days of romance
and adventure and have given us WV
id pictures of their events and char
acters. In his "Roughing 1t" Twain
says OF the pony rider:
HE rode a splendid horse that
was born for a racer and fed and
lodged like a gentleman: kept him
at utmost speed for ten miles, and
then, as he came crashing up to the
station where stood two men hold
ing a fresh, impatient steed, the
transfer of rider and mailbag was
made in the twinkling of as eye, and
away flew the eager pair and were
out of sight before the spectator
could get the ghost Of a look"
The Pony Express did not live
long and 1t is sad but true that 1t
was not a financial success. When
the Civil War opened, the Govern
ment saw the necessity of telegraph
ic communication with the Coast
and offered a substantial subsidy to
the company that would first link
up Salt Lake City. Two groups of
enterprising men undertook this, one
starting from st. Joseph, and the
other from Los Angeles, and they
reached Salt Lake City just one week
apart. The first message was sent
through by wire oil October "a, 1861
and it sounded the doom of the Pony
Express which had then been in
existence but a little over sixteen
months.
The service was continued for
some little time after the telegraph
line was opened. but the volume of
business gradually dropped off and
1t was seen that 1t could never be
made profitable. Rates were cut to
meet the new competition, but that
was of no avail. People who had
important messages to be rushed
used the telegraph and others were
satisfied with the slower methods
I communication. The Union Pacif-
ic Railway was under construction

II is said that Mr.. Majors and his

IN establishing and operating the

tai receipts were barely a half mil.

stirring constantly until the nuts aTe

Sailed whole pistachio nuts are
more commonly known than the
sailed pistachio meats. They are
prepared by boiling the entire nut,

about 5 minutes. Drain and when
cold they will be found to be cover
ed with salty crystals.
