of a little cheap notoriety betray
their ignorance of our country and
its institutions. A. Kringlebach's ig-
norance of our channels of informa-

would criticize our method of max
ing intelligent citizens.
There is a certain amount of adj
miration due to anyone whether

speaks straight from the shoulder

public men, but to the ambiguous,
the low, mean, narrow mind that

PUBLIC OPINION
CAMP SITE NEAR METUCHEN
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:

-
There has been some criticism of
the plan of utilizing the tuberculosis
site at Metuchen as a camp site or
recreation grounds, those opposed to
the plan .contending, that the coun-
ty budget is sufficiently burdened
without adding any extraneous
charges to it," I am heartily in &C
cord with this statement, but as the
ORIGINATOR Of the idea l hasten to
sta,e, that ] entertained the
thought Of either the county or any
Vi the municipalities bearing any
expense whatever, nor was it sug-
gested by anyone else of the group
who endorsed the plan.
While nothing definite has been
decided on, the general plan pro-
posed is that the various organiza-
tions such as The American Red
Cross, Woman's Clubs, Rotary and
KiWannis Clubs, Parent Teachers
Associations. City Improvement AS
%soeiations, Day Nurseries, Boy Scout
Associations. etc., VINO + interested
in this site as a camping ground
will hold themselves responsible for
all expenditures incurred in improv-
ing same for the erection of build
ings, drainage. planting trees or any
other expenditures that in their
Judgment they may deem advisable
to incur. SO that instead of being
a liability as the site is in its pres
ent state, it will become a great as
set to the county without a penny's
worth of outlay-all this provided
the freeholders will grant permission
for a period of years for the use of
the site as a. recreation or camping
ground.
You will readily appreciate the
benefit derived from such a plan,
