Commander Points Out That
Newton Serves as Athletic
and Civic Center to Many

Commander Walter W. Wigman,
of the Third Battalion Naval Militia,
has written to the mayor and Board
of Aldermen asking permission for
the construction of dock from the
city bulkhead at the foot OF Market
street to the L. s. S. Newton which
at present is moored about $50 feet
off shore. This written request will
likely be received and considered by
the aldermen at their regular meet
ing next Monday night.
The mayor and aldermen are in
formed in this petition that state aid
in the proposed dock project depends
entirely upon the decision of the
board and the ESQ men and 20 off,
GERS attached to the battalion are
of one accord in asking the city's
permission to construct the dock.
"The appearance of the ship in
this location would be greatly i'm
proved by the construction of a dock
with a guardrail painted white" the
letter states. 1T is also planned to
paint this ship black with the spars
and stack painted straw-color and
the rails and trim painted white. In
this condition this vessel would not
only present an attractive appear
ance but would lend an added inter-
est to the locality"
The letter states that a requisition
for driving sufficient piling to hold
the Newton in place and to COM
mence construction of a pier has al
ready been approved by the Navy
Department. through the command
ant of the third naval district The
communication declares that the
Newton servesas an athletic and So
cial center. making it possible for
many of the men who are attached
to the organization to avail them
selves without any cost whatsoever
of advantages afforded by such or
ganizations as the Y. NJ. c. A. Y. NJ.
