ton as follows:
I'm the interesting procession Of his
work, Booth Harrington has. pretty
well paralleled the somewhat vacillat-
ing development of popular literary
taste in his country. This, there Is
every reason to believe, has resulted
from no conscious intention. The
fashion, in considering Mr.. Tarking-
ton, has usually been to contrast what
are called his two natures-the ro-
manifest who wrate Monsieur Beau
caire and the realist (mere or less)
who wrote The Gentleman From In
diana and The Turmoil Very sensi-
bly, has it been pointed out that the
two strains are manifest side by side
In a number of his novels, such as
The Conquest of Canaan where the
realism of character is sadly impaled
on the rocks of plot"

commissioners three of Wilmington's
most prominent business men. Be-
cause they were big and successful
business men they were broad mind
ed enough to say frankly that they
knew nothing about he niceties or
the exact requirements of port plan
ming, but they did know enough to
call to their assistance as advisors
men who did. These men headed by
the late Calvin Tomkins advised with
the harbor commissioners with the
result thai today | believe Whining
ION has one of the best planned
ports in America. They are studying
each phase and step of the great
question of port planning so that
they may serve the needs n
growth of Wilmington and surround
ing communities not only for the
present but for the long distant
future.
1.-THE great hue and cry through
out the land today, in fact through
out the world is-reduced taxation.
There is no factor that l know OIL
that will do more to bring this con-
dition about than to improve trans
portation facilities so that business
can be carried on at a lower cost,
thereby increasing the value of the
property taxed and by seeing to 1t
hat every dollar of capital expendi-
ture will be so wisely invested that
it will soon amortize itself through
the saving effected.
IF the welfare of a community
is to be properly served, thought
must be given to the aesthetical and
recreational side of life. There Is
probably nothing that furnishes a
prettier setting Tor a park than a
body of water, whether it be a lake,
river or ocean. In laying out and
planning a port development, this
TACT must never be lost sight of. AT
very little additional cost and IN
conjunction with the Improvement
of any waterfront, an area can be
set aside which will provide enjoy
ment and health for thousands.
Consider if you will that the
mass oil people never know or real
ize the value of a properly organized
port. The benefits to them are SO
Indirect and remote that it makes
no appeal to them. On the other
hand give them a place where they
can witness what is going on, can
see the ships plying back and forth.
If the cleanliness of the water will
permit one can revel in the delight,
of plunging into it on a hot day or
taking part in aquatic sports, then
a different picture is unfolded to
them. Waterfront development be-
comes to them a reality, a thing of
life and being, a subject for discus
sion around the supper table when
the davis labor is over.
we must not forget that our
rivers and waterways belong to all,
that they know M class distinction,
That they must be made, as | firmly
believe they were intended to be, to
serve all classes and conditions OF
mankind. Happily they can. If the
proper vision is employed, these
priceless heritages of ours can furth-
err the materialistic ambitions of the
commercial minded, no matter how
high they set their mark and stimuli
taneously they al enable those who
are striving to bring sunshine and
happiness into the lives of the multi
tudes to accomplish their purpose
by bringing to their very doors the
| gifts of nature.
1.-THE science of port planning is
n profession of service-service to
humanity in the truest and broadest
sense of the word.

WILL ASK
WIDER BRIDGE
MetuChen Council and State
Highway Commission viii
Seek Court Order Soon

METUCHEN, Dec. 11-Within the
next few months the members of the
borough council working in conjunc-
ton with the State Highway Com
mission expect to apply to the Pub
lie Utilities Commission for an order
directing the rebuilding and widen
ing OF the Lake street bridge over
the Lehigh Valley railroad tracks
to conform to the width of the state
and county roads forming the
bridge approaches.
che existing structure is consider
ed a serious menace to traffic and on
numerous occasions has caused a tie
up III traffic due to accidents in that
vicinity. Both approaches were
widened to the curb lines when the
new roads were built but the road
a of the bridge was permitted to
remain barely wide enough for two
ears to pass
Considerable work has been done
on the structure to insure sufficient
strength to accommodate the heavy
vehicles that now use the road, but
the bridge, being so narrow and sit
uated as it is at a sharp curve has
proven to be a danger spot.
AT the time the new state highway
was built efforts were made to have
a new bridge erected, but it is I'M
derstood that the railroad company
was unwilling to bear half of the
expense as suggested by the state
highway commission. though they
did expires a willingness to contrib
ute $4,000 for that purpose.
1t has been estimated that $4,000
will be required to replace the pres
ent structure and an effort will be
made to obtain an order directing
the railroad company to pay half oil
the expense, as it is understood the
highway commission will willingly
contribute a like amount in order to
complete this section of the state
highway system.
