THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDING OF
NEWARK, NEW JERSEY

May to October, 1916

By HENRY WELLINGTON WACK

Executive iVdviser, Committee of One Hundred

The intent of Newark's finely-conceived celebration from May to October,
1916, was even more significant than its forms and ceremonies. Newark be-
gan to realize herself, as youth merging into maturity. As the life of American
cities is measured, Newark was not very young. Yet she had gone forward
rather slowly and conservatively for two hundred years before the impulse
to greater attainment and more virile attributes impelled her onward toward
the meridian of her present physical stature of 400,000 citizens and a pro-
gressive government.

During the summer of 1914, when the city was within sight of her 250th
birthday, her Mayor, Hon. Jacob Haussling, a man of acute prevision and
active political loyalty to the city's welfare, appointed a committee of its lead-
ing citizens to undertake the collection of a celebration fund of $250,000.00 by
voluntary subscription from the citizens of Newark, of whom 6,000 responded
with an astonishing spirit of patriotism.

This committee is known as the Committee of One Hundred. Its sub-
committees were Executive and Finance; Memorial Building; Manufactures
and Trade; Schools and Philanthropy; Monuments and Tablets; Parades
and Decorations; Publicity; Historical and Literary; Transportation;
Pageantry; Reception and Entertainment; Exhibitions and Athletics;
Legislation; Municipal Participation and Church Participation.

The membership of the general committee and its sub-committees is in-
dicated elsewhere in this manual. The very magnitude of the anniversary
plans, their wide scope and variety, is somewhat implied by this array of
subsidiary bodies.

The inspiration of Newark's celebration has been stated in many graceful
essays published in the Newarker since October, 1915, a journal dedicated to
its advancement, and published by the Committee of One Hundred under
the Editorship of the writer. As succinct as any and as happy as all, is the
leader of welcome written by Hon. Franklin Murphy, Former Governor of
New Jersey, in the first page of the premier edition of the celebrant Newarker
— November, 1915. Governor Murphy wrote:

"With this issue. The Newarker occupies, in part at least a new field.
It does not entirely desert the old, but its larger part will be devoted to an-
other purpose. It will describe as fully and as clearly as it can the work
which the Committee of One Hundred is doing to celebrate, in an extensive
and elaborate manner, the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the day
that Robert Treat and his little band of sturdy men and women from

250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey

Connecticut landed on tlie banks of the Passaic River and founded the
City of Newark.

The use of the paper has been borrowed for th's purpose and when this
purpose has been accomplished it will be returned to the Library and its gifted
Librarian. In the mean time, Mr. Dana will have something to say to his
old friends in each issue, and if they miss his gentle touch and his kindly
counsel on every page they can feel that the sacrifice they make is for a cause
that has his earnest and cordial support.

The Newarker then, for a few months, will tell you about Newark and its
coming celebration. It will remind you that for two centuries it was content
to live its own quiet life, recognizing that its nearness to New York must
always keep it more or less provincial and that the interests of the greater
city would consign it more or less to the background. It will tell you that
a half a century ago it began to have ambitions of its own and started to move
from under the shadow of its great neighbor. So far it has done very well.

It has now most of the adornment of a great city. Its streets are well
paved and well sewered. Its schools greatly enlarged and improved, are
among the best. Its beautiful churches are sufficient to give attractive seats
to all who would attend. Its superb water supply is not surpassed in quality.
It has a public service in light and transportation that is unexcelled. Its
public buildings are important and beautiful and if to some its debt may seem
small for so great a city, it may be said with confidence that the projects
now in sight may be relied upon to remove that cause for criticism. In the
variety and extent of its industries it is among the first and its enterprising
salesmen make its wares known in every hamlet throughout the land.

Newark, thank fortune, is still more or less an old-fashioned city with old-
fashioned ways. It has no idle rich. It looks askance at extravagant living.
It sneers at ostentation. It goes to church — not as much as it should, but it
remembers that it was founded by religious men for religious reasons. And
it stands for the moralities in its private and public life.

This is the dear old city in which we live and this is the city that will be
two hundred and fifty years old next May and that thinks it is entitled to a
birthday party. The people have provided the means, not by an appropri-
ation from the public treasury, but out of their own pockets, an act that was
generous and public spirited, and Mayor Haussling has appointed a com-
mittee of one hundred to see the right thing done. The sub-committees have
been at work now for many months and the entire program, in its general
features, has been decided upon. They are spoken of with more or less full-
ness in other columns of this issue. I know the work that has been done and
that is being done and I am confident the result will be worthy of the great
occasion."

Some Facts About Newark

The Town of Newark was settled in May, 1666, by Puritans from Con-
necticut. The concessions of the Lord Proprietors of New Jersey, dated
February 10th, 1664, offered great inducements to settlers upon the land
granted to them by Charles II. The recent union of the rival colonies of
Connecticut and New Haven in one province had caused much dissatisfaction
in many of the towns of the New Haven Colony. Accordingly, agents were
dispatched from the Towns of Guilford, Branford and Milford to view the
lands in New Jersey and ascertain the terms of purchase and settlement.
Captain Robert Treat, John Curtiss, Jasper Crane and John Treat were the
agents appointed for the purpose, and upon their favorable report to the
inhabitants of the aforesaid towns, they were sent back to New Jersey and
empowered to purchase a tract of land for a township. They selected a tract
of land on the Passaic River, described as "lying beyond the marshes, to the
north of Elizabethtown."

In 1666, they purchased directly from the Indians, with the consent of the
Hon. Philip Carteret, governor of the Province, the land which extended to
the foot of Watchung Mountain, about seven or eight miles from Pesayak
Towne, for 50 double hands of powder, 100 bars of lead, 20 axes, 20 coats,
10 guns, 20 pistols, 10 swords, 10 kettles, 4 blankets, 4 barrels of beer, 2 pairs
of breeathes, 50 knives, 20 hoes, 850 fathoms of wampum, 2 ankers of liquor
(say 32 gallons) or something equivalent, and 3 troopers' coates, estimated to
be of the value of 130 pounds, or $750.00 in United States money. The
deed from the Indians, however, was not regularly executed until July
11th, 1667. Eleven years later a second purchase was made, the two purchases
covering a tract corresponding very nearly with the present County of Essex.

There were about thirty families in the party that made the settlement,
and it was agreed that six acres should be allotted to each and that the re-
spective locations should be fixed by lot. One exception only was made to
this arrangement in favor of Captain Robert Treat, who was to have eight
acres to his lot, and be allowed to chose for himself the ground it should occupy.

The town was called Milford, as many of the first settlers had come from
the Towne of Milford, Conn., but a short time after, upon a formal organi-
zation of the town government the name Milford was dropped and Newark
was substituted in honor of Rev. Abraham Pierson, the first pastor, who came
with the people of Branford and who was ordained in Newark-on-Trent,
England. It was originally spelled "New Work" or "New Worke."

The money and goods in the company were valued at about $64,000, an
average for each of the thirty families of approximately $2,000.

The community continued under the township form of government until
1836, but during that time had twice been granted charters of incorporation.

In 1713 Queen Anne granted a charter of incorporation, by which Newark
was constituted a body politic, and corporate in law. The population at this
time was about 300.

In 1798 an Act of the Legislature was passed incorporating the inhabitants
of the townships throughout the State. By virtue of that act, the people of
the township of Newark received a new charter, which took place of the patent
granted by Queen Anne in 1713.

Official Guide and Manual

The population in 1798 was about 2,500. In 1836 Newark was incorporated
as a City, in the name of "The Mayor and Common Council of the City of
Newark." The City Census, at this time, showed a population of 19,732.

In 1857 a new charter was drawn up by a joint committee of citizens and
members of the Common Council.

This Charter was granted by the Legislature and is the one under which
the City still exists.

The Memorial Building

That something in a permanent form should be erected or established to
remind future generations of Newark's 250th anniversary had been a frequent
suggestion from the time the thought of the celebration was broached. Mayor
Haussling presented the idea of a memorial building to the Committee of One
Hundred at its organization meeting. The Committee itself took up the
matter at the first opportunity and referred to a special committee of twenty-
five the question of recommending what form the permanent memorial
should take. The special committee appointed five of its members to analyse
and formulate the suggestions that might be received. Each member of the
Committee of One Hundred was particularly invited to submit views and the
general public was asked through the press to make its sentiments known.

Of the many replies received 90 per cent, favored a building as a permanent
memorial. The Committee of Five so reported to the Committee of Twenty-
five, which in turn reported to the full Committee of One Hundred. That body
adopted the report as its own, and instructed a special committee of seven.

250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 11

headed by Chairman Franklin Murphy, to take the necessary steps to carry
out the project. The latter committee prepared a bill, which after amendment
was passed at the legislature of 1915 and submitted to the voters of the city
November 2, 1915.

The law, as adopted by the voters, permits the city to sell bonds to the
amount of $1,500,000 to purchase a site and pay for the erection of the per-
manent memorial building. No more than $500,000 in bonds can be issued
in any one year. The memorial building, it is proposed, shall provide quarters
for the Newark Miiseum, whose valuable and rapidly growing collections are
crowding the Public Library, shall contain a spacious auditorium for music
festivals, conventions and other great public gatherings, shall provide facilities
for other public bodies and shall generally serve public uses.

Some features that have been proposed by citizens embrace a city uni-
versity; public baths and gymnasium, and other features for the free use of all
the people.

During December the Memorial Building Committee selected a site on the
southeast corner of Broad and Camp Streets, opposite Lincoln Park. This
committee was composed of ex-Governor Franklin Murphy, chairman; Christian
W. Feigenspan, John Cotton Dana, Forrest F. Dryden, Uzal H. McCarter
and James R. Nugent.

Referring to the decision of the committee, Mr. Murphy, Chairman of the
Committee of One Hundred, and of the Memorial Building Committee, said:

"The center of the city's population is at the corner of Kinney and Wash-
ington streets; the growth of the city is southward and westward. The site is
one of great beauty. Its low cost, undoubtedly, had a favorable effect on the
Committee, and the construction of a great building on Lincoln Park will
hasten the development of all property north to Market Street, and thus

increase the revenues of the city I think the

matters of convenience and accessibility were perhaps most influential with the
committee. If you put a pair of dividers on the map, you will see that the site
is as far south of Market Street as the Library is north. It can be reached by
all the trolley lines of the city, either directly or with a single transfer."

On Friday, Dec. 17th, the action of the committee was unanimously ratified
by the Common Council of the city, and this was immediately approved by
the Mayor.

Of the $1,500,000 of 4>2% bonds authorized for the purchase of a site and
erection of a Memorial Building, $500,000 were promptly sold at $107,573,
the highest price for which a 4K% municipal bond has been sold hereabout for
many years. The entire issue was taken by Remick, Hodges & Co., of New
York.

The Memorial Building Committee has engaged Warren Powers Laird,
professor of architecture at the University of Pennsylvania, as consulting
architect respecting the designs of the building. Referring to this, Mr.
Murphy says:

"There will be a preliminary competition confined exclusively to Newark
architects. The two most successful in this preliminary work will be invited
to present plans in the final competition, which will be participated in by
perhaps seven of the chief architects of this country."

12 Official Guide and Manual

Work on the design and the building will begin immediately. While it
cannot be completed during the year of the celebration, such progress may be
made as to indicate to citizens and visitors the substantial character and beauty
of this splendid monument of the city's anniversary.

The belief that the Committee of One Hundred, in charge of the city's
anniversary festivities, is also in charge of the plans for the erection of a
Memorial Building, is erroneous. The Committee of One Hundred was
appointed by Mayor Jacob Haussling and its official functions cease at the
end of the anniversary celebration next autumn. The Memorial Building
Committee was appointed by the Common Council of the City of Newark
and its work will continue during a period of several years, until the Memorial
Building has been erected and dedicated. That the gentlemen on the latter
committee are also members of the former has created no legal relationship
whatever between them.

THE FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY

No. 5 Washington Street, at head of Washington Park. Incorporated
1888. Original home at 14 West Park Street. Opened Oct. 17, 1889. Site
of present building purchased 1897 for $153,750. Cornerstone laid Jan. 26,
1899; building opened to public March 14, 1901. Cost, including furnishings,
heating and lighting, $315,000. Librarian and secretary, John Cotton Dana.
Hours, daily 9 A. M. to 9:30 P. M. Sundays and holidays, reading and
technical rooms open 2 to 9 P. M.; all other departments closed. Volumes
in main library, 227,000; loan circulation in 1915, 1,195,000 volumes.

The exterior of the building resembles the Public Library, Boston. The
interior is strikingly beautiful. The vestibule in white Italian marble and
mosaic, opens into the central rectangular court, with wainscoting of marble,
plaster frieze and ceiling decorated in color. The court is open to the sky-
light roof, with hall-ways at each floor in the form of arcades surrounding
the open centre space. An imposing broad marble stairway rises through the
middle of the court.

The equipment of the building embraces, in addition to the usual depart-
ments and the Museum, a children's room, school department, lecture rooms,
art gallery, and science museum. The book stacks are in a detached fire-
proof building.

The Newark Library is a splendid lesson to everyone who enters its doors.
The beautiful marble in the inner court, the woodwork of quartered oak,
simply treated, the right use of color, the pottery, bronzes, marbles, and
paintings make the interior dignified and artistic. The Library keeps before
the people the truest and best in art as a permanent object lesson.

The Library has a prominent position in the educational life of the city,
with its various lecture rooms for meetings of classes, clubs, educational and
philanthropic societies.

THE CELEBRATION IN POSTER ART

The Newark Poster as depicted on the front cover of the Manual is the
work of Adolph Treidler, of 152 East 36th Street, New York City, winner
of the first prize in the competition opened by the Committee of One Hundred
to all residents of the United States. The judges who awarded the first
and second prizes of $1,000 and $500 respectively were John Cotton Dana,
J. H. Bacheller and Frederick J. Keer, of Newark, and Charles Matlack
Price and Arthur W. Wiener, of New York City. The special prize of $300
was decided by the vote of visitors to the public exhibition of the designs.

The competitors numbered 166, and the designs over 200; and 64 won
places in the traveling exhibit. The second prize was won by Helen Dryden,
46 Washington Square, New York City, and the special prize by A. E. Foringer,
Grantwood, N. J.

The Newark Poster Exhibit closed in the Public Library October 31st and
opened at the Anderson Galleries, 40th Street and Madison Avenue, New York
City, November 12th, for a private view to editors and art critics. It was
opened to the public November 15th and closed, after day and evening sessions,
November 21st. Thence it went to Providence, Boston, Paterson, New
Brunswick, Trenton, Passaic, Rochester, Buffalo, Cleveland, Philadelphia and
Chicago, where it was on view when the Mamtal went to press. Its further
schedule includes large cities all the way to the Pacific Coast.

In a critical review of the prize-winning designs, C. Matlack Price, au-
thor of "Posters" and one of the judges of the contest, says:

"From purely academic points of drawing, the design which won the special
prize by public vote would have won the first prize awarded by the judges, if
this competition had been one of draughtsmanship rather than poster design.
There is too much beautiful allegorical imagery in the stately figure, carrying
attributes of industry and standing on a winged wheel of progress. It is a
painting in character with such superb murals as the work by E. H. Blashfield in
the Essex County Court House — and far more suited to mural decoration than
to use as a poster. Its color scheme is as subdued and refined as its drawings —

Official Guide and Manual

but it is a thing to be seen at close range, as on a program cover. Reduced to
the dimensions of a poster stamp, it would fail to attract the necessary amount
of attention. As a window "hanger," which is intended for inspection at
fairly close range, this design would have made up for its lack of qualities de-
sirable in a poster by its strong values of dignity, refinement and beautiful
drawing.

"The poster which won the first prize might hardly be classed as unequal
to the first in this question of drawing and in addition it is rendered in unde-
niably admirable poster technique— a drawing as forceful as a poster stamp
as it would be if it were reproduced fifty feet high. It is appropriate in two
particulars — that it graphically suggests an anniversary, and is confined in its
historical reference to the founding of the city of Newark. The masses are
splendidly bold, the composition striking and the coloring is brilliant without
lack of harmony. Above all it is a poster of dignity — -the figure of Robert
Treat looming up in strong and impressive profile against the sky. It is a
design which could not fail to arrest attention, and, having done so, to hold it
until the story is conveyed. For these reasons it is a good poster — nor could
the artist have incorporated in this design any suggestion of the carnival phase
of celebration without destroying the dignity of the phase he selected as the
keynote.

"The design which won the second prize is bright and colorful, with a dis-
tinct note of cheerfulness. In it the costumes may be accepted as distinctly
those of a masquerade — in fact, as symbolic of the idea of carnival and fes-
tivity. The scale of the figures is dangreously small, but the whole design
might be analyzed as of an essentially decorative nature — the figures being not
a feature, but merely a decorative motive, of symbolic value, and no more a
part of the whole design than the lettering."

PRIZE HISTORICAL ESSAY CONTEST

An interesting feature of the celebration will be the prize essay contest
among the pupils of the public and parochial schools on the founding and
history of the city. For this contest, the New York Times, hoping to stimu-
late in the future citizens an interest equally as keen as that moving their
elders, will award approximately five hundred Tiffany silver medals and five
hundred engraved certificates of merit to the pupils in the public and parochial
schools who shall write the best compositions on the subject, based upon a
series of articles which were published in the New York Times April 24-30
from the pen of J. Wilmer Kennedy, Assistant Superintendent of the Newark
City Schools, who has made a special study of the history of the city.

The competition has the endorsement of the Newark Board of Education
and of the authorities of the parochial schools. Dr. A. B. Poland, City
School Superintendent, is arranging to have the preparation of the essays
made a part of the regular school work in English composition. The Reverend
Father Dillon, Superintendent of the parochial schools, has also warmly
endorsed the idea.

Full information and details of the competition will appear in The New
York Times in due course.

WOMEN'S PART IN THE CELEBRATION
The Committee of Fifty

Mayor Thomas L. Raymond, with his characteristic enthusiasm for
Newark's anniversary celebration, adopted the suggestion made to him by
Chairman Franklin Murphy of the Committee of One Hundred, and appointed
fifty representative women of Newark as a committee to participate in and
enliven the social phases of the celebration.

This was a wise appointment. The women of Newark can do much
to enhance the casual as well as the permanent interest in the anniversary
year. They can give tone and color and impart vivacity to its social and
ethical aspects. Newark has been socially dormant since the death of that
charming chatelaine whose home of a thousand memories is about to be razed
to make room for the new Memorial Building. But this is the year of its
rejuvenation, and the Committee of Fifty, guided by the rare tact and effective
energies of its chairman, Mrs. George Barker, will see to it that Newark,
society, in its most democratic sense, will become an animate, a spirited ele-
ment in our significant anniversary events.

There will be numerous parties at the Music Festival, at the Industrial Ex-
position, the Pageant, the Athletic Events, Horse Races, and the world-famed
Amateur Athletic Union Championships on September 8th and 9th.

Privately every family in the city can enhance the social spirit by enter-
taining its friends and going beyond that charmed circle and including its
enemies; for is this not a year of bigger and broader social philosophy, of a
sounder civic life, a nobler ideal of our city, state and country, and of the
flag that dignifies their well-being.''

(The names of the members of the Committee of Fifty will be found else-
where, in the official list of committees of the Celebration.)

Mrs. Henry H. Dawson thus aptly discusses:

Newark Women and the Celebration Spirit

When an old colored preacher was asked the secret of the success of his
sermons he replied, "First I 'splains, den I 'spounds, and den I puts in de
rousements." The Newarker may explain and expound the anniversary pro-
gram, but Newark women may arouse enthusiasm so that our celebration
will be not a mere succession of events, but a thing of life, aglow with joy and
happiness, spontaneously fruitful.

To overcome a possible indifference, or a mere passing interest in the
event, an inspiration as to its real value will come by attending the Pageant.
Let every Newark woman, whether a descendant of the founders or a recent
arrival from foreign shores, or an ordinary resident, allow nothing to prevent
her from seeing this Play. As the history of our city passes before us in song
and pantomine, a strange weird feeling arises and diffuses itself; the sense
of individuality is lost for a time, and one becomes absorbed in the com-
munity spirit; a civic consciousness awakens; the meaning of the word
"Newark" dawns upon one. If thoroughly awakened, the individual realizes
a race responsibility, which becomes a permanent possession, sometimes a
ruling passion.

250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 19

After inspiration, what? The training of this desire to help, by proper
education. At this point our celebration is teeming with opportunity. Ex-
hibits of the various phases of the city's life will crowd around us.

We pause, on our 250th birthday, to look up from our regular daily rou-
tine, to gaze around about us, and to have our horizons widened.

The ordinary woman is interested in her family life, her "charities," her
"church work," perhaps her club, or the amusements of a small circle of
friends. May she not realize now, that city life is a larger family life, and
that she belongs to it?

If so, then we must know who are the members of this family. What
money is spent in rearing and caring for it? Are the houses sanitary, the
streets clean and beautiful? Are Newark's babies properly cared for? What
playgrounds are given to the children? What sports and "shows" to the
juniors? What art, music, drama, lectures and books are obtainable by the
grown-ups? What opportunities offered to the foreign born, to the stranger,
to the unfortunate in mind, body or estate? How are private and public in-
stitutions co-operating along these lines?

What are Newark's products? What should be its next step as a commer-
cial city? What is the state of trade and manufacture?

How is our school system organized for business, and for teaching? What
are the varied activities in our schools? What religious influences are at
work in Newark? What moral safe-guarding of youth?

The answers to these questions and to many more may ge found in the
exhibits. Women should study them, talk about them, take notes and bring
reports to their organizations for future discussions.

Opportunity is like a revolving door. Let us be careful to slip in at the
right moment. Why should not women's church societies choose some phase
of city life, and work for its betterment? Revise constitution and by-laws
to admit such work if need be. The spirit of the celebration will find a lasting
home in such a society, and the civic effort of that society will date from the
anniversary year, 1916, a fitting time to add new life.

Best of all, the auditorium of the Memorial Building may become not only
a Hall for Conventions or for Concerts, but a gathering place for the city
family in various groups, where best methods of producing desired results
may be considered, and unification of effort be attained, so that we may
grow symmetrically. What possibilities lie just ahead of us?

There is an old saying, "A chain is no stronger than its weakest link."
May we not also say, "A city cannot rise higher than its home life?" If
through an enthusiastic participation in the celebration, all Newark women
realize the vital connection between the homes of the city and the various
phases of city life, the spirit of the celebration will have done its work, and
with the effort to give normal home-life to all classes, there will arise a new
Newark, full of glorious April promise. "It is not raining rain today, it's
raining violets."

20 Official Guide and Manual

Helpful aspects of women's club life in Newark are described by Mary
Depue Ogden under the head:

Women's Activities

Improvements in modern life have brought much leisure to women.
They no longer are called on to "bake, brew and sew" in addition to rearing
large families of children. Though relieved of one line of cares, their hands
and brains are no less active.

Mental and artistic development, and participation in charitable and
sociological work occupy the spare time of the women of Newark, as exem-
plified in the activities of their many clubs and social organizations, some of
which have been performing their quiet but efficient duties for twenty years
or more.

The Saturday Club is one of the earliest of these organizations. Its
objects are literary and philanthropic, and its members are among the very
progressive and intellectual women of the city. This club has given special
attention to the George Junior Republic and to welfare work in the Pine Belt
of New Jersey. Mrs. James A. Solandt is president of the Saturday Club.

The Travelers Club has a history of 25 years, and its membership is con-
fined to the Roseville section, where the bi-weekly meetings are held in homes
of members. The Club makes detailed study of all parts of the world and
its motto is: "Earn thy reward; the gods give naught to sloth."

Miss EUastine Seitz is president of the Curtomis Club, which devotes its
attention to the study of art, habits and customs in the cities of Europe. In
1916 its theme is South America.

The New Jersey Historical Society has a Woman's Branch which takes
charge of all social affairs of the Society and collects historical data.

The Salamagundi devotes itself to history, book reviews, and higher
literary studies. Mrs. William H. Warner is president.

Philitscipoma is the name of a club which makes a study of music, litera-
ture, and drama. Its president is Mrs. James M. Seymour.

One of the most important and enterprising of the women's clubs of
Newark is the Contemporary of which Miss Frances Hays is president.
This body of women is taking an especially active interest in all phases of
Newark's great Celebration.

The Forest Hill Reading Club makes a study of the modern drama.

There are many other literary and social clubs among women, all of
which are doing some specific civic work, and exercising an influence for good
in the community.

Musical clubs are also numerous.

The Lyric Club gives two concerts each season, conducted by Arthur D.
Woodruff. The club has a discriminating membership, devoted to the higher
musical art. Its president is Mrs. Jay Ten Eyck. The membership is about
1400. The club was organized in 1900.

The College Woman's Club, of which Miss Marie Wolfs is president,
maintains seven scholarships at Women's Colleges, the money for which is
raised by the Club's dramatic and musical entertainments.

250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 21

The Council of Jewish Women is a branch of the National order of that
name. Mrs. Mason Weinburg is president of the local society, which sup-
ports a Jewish Neighborhood House with paid workers to look after immi-
grant girls. The Society discusses all phases of the Sociological problem,
with a view to finding useful and workable solutions.

The Personal Service Club aims to help anyone needing aid, whether in
its workroom, at No. 159 Kinney Street, or in their homes.

The Municipal Art League, of which Mrs. Frances Pell is president, de-
votes its attention to all branches of civic betterment. This society is now
in process of reorganization on broader and more comprehensive lines.

Mrs. James Howard is president of the Ray Palmer Club, which began
as the "Chatauqua" in 1888. This Club has a large membership, and is
accomplishing much good in civic affairs.

The Essex County Teachers' Guild has a membership of over 600, and
concerns itself with the general welfare and uplift of the teachers' profession.

Another large club is the Irving, which gives special attention to Women's
Colleges, registration of births, and public welfare.

THE BOY SCOUTS OF NEWARK

In the early days of April there was an active campaign for the purpose
of putting the Boy Scout movement in Newark on a permanent and busi-
nesslike basis, by establishing executive offices in the city and securing the
services of a paid executive who will give all his time to the work.

If President Wilson, Roosevelt, Taft, David Starr Jordan, Judge Ben
Lindsey, Wm. Fellowes Morgan, Major-General Wood, General George W.
Wingate, Luther Burbank, Dr. Luther H. Gulick, Dr. G. Ward Crampton,
Dr. D. L. Sargent, Mortimer L. Schiff, George W. Perkins, John Finley and
dozens of other such men emphatically indorse a thing it must be worth
while looking into.

What, then, is this thing Boy Scouting.' The Handbook says it is a
movement for developing character and eflaciency among adolescent boys.
Those who are interested in it like to think it is more than that — that it is a
spirit abroad in our nation for the welfare of our boys — a spirit with many man-
ifestations. A spirit of service, by clean, manly men for boys who need that
service; a spirit of patriotism, for a country which needs to be stirred to
patriotism now and again; a spirit of civic help, teaching boys that they
are citizens of the Nation, the State, and of no mean city, from their youth
up; a spirit of clean living, of health, of the out-of-doors, dowering our boys
with that priceless dowry, a love of the fresh, crisp air, of hardihood, of good
sportsmanship, of daring, all of which work together to fit our boys for their
parts as citizens. Scouting is a jewel of many facets; you can do anything
good you please, and call it Scouting, thus attaching to that thing the prestige
among boys and men, of the name, the sign and the brown uniform.

Both the school and the church can learn valuable lessons from the Boy
Scout movement in the matter of teaching. Scoutcraft teaching is practical
and useful. It helps one to live, to be happy and to make others happy, and
to make one's country "a better place to live in." That is, it makes the
boy a good citizen. Here is a list of a few of the things they are taught: —

Official Guide and Manual

Kinney Building, Broad and INIarket Strecls
Headquarters Committee of One Hundred

The Prudential Insurance Building — Example of
Newark's Industrial Architectural Beauty

250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 23

Agriculture, gardening, blacksmithing, carpentry, masonry, business, civics,
conservation, cooking, dairying, "first aid," life saving, music, machinery,
personal and public health, physical development, swimming, seamanship
and pathfinding.

There are many other things of the same practical use taught in Scoutcraft,
and these things are in the line of real education. They are taught reverence
for the good, the true and the beautiful, duty to one's self and others, fidelity
to the right and to conscience, loyalty to parents, friends, government and
country, courtesy and kindness to everything and everybody, fraternity
and love to the whole human family, courage to do right, to face trouble and
danger with a smile and a will, and cleanliness of body, mind and soul.

PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPETITION AND EXHIBITION

The Newark Camera Club, Inc., which is the second oldest Camera Club
in the United States, being organized in 1888 and whose object is to promote
and cultivate the science of photography, proposes to conduct a Photographic
Competition and Exhibition for amateurs who take photographs of the decora-
tions of the Celebration.

All amateur photographers who visit our city, as well as all amateur
photographers residing in Newark are eligible and are cordially invited to
enter pictures. The Club believes that during this celebration that among
the thousands of people from Newark and those who visit our city there will
be many who will record with the camera the Street Parade and Decorations,
the Night Illuminations, the beautiful Feigenspan Statue, etc., all of which
will be taken from many varying points of vantage, at different times, with
different atmospheric conditions. The pictures will be exhibited to the public
in the Free Public Library, if available, or some other public building; date
to be announced later.

The pictures will be judged by a jury of selection which will consist of
three competent and disinterested persons, one each to be selected by the
Newark Evening News, Sitndai/ Call and Newark Star-Eagle.

The club will offer seven beautiful solid gold, silver and bronze medals
suitably engraved for the best pictures to be classified as follows:

A Gold Medal will be awarded to the best print in the Exhibition.

Silver and Bronze Medals will be awarded to the two best prints in each
of the following classes:

Class A — Street decorations.

Class B — Night illuminations.

Class C — Feigenspan Statue.

Honorable mention in the various classes may be also given at the discre-
tion of the Jury of Selection. The awarding of all prizes and honorable men-
tions are with the understanding that the winning prints are to become the
property of the Club, and may be reproduced for publication and that the club
may have the loan of the negatives if necessary for reproduction purposes.

Rules for Competition

To win a prize a picture must have been exposed by the exhibitor though
the developing, printing or enlarging may have been done by others. Small

24 Official Guide and Manual

pictures are often more effective if enlarged. Pictures may be of any size;
8 by 10 inches or larger are preferred. They must be mounted, but not
framed and have plainly written on back:

Title of picture.

Name and address of maker.

Class to be entered into.

The opening date of the competition will be the opening date of the Cele-
bration and the closing date will be the closing date of the Celebration. All
pictures to be entered in the Competition and Exhibition must be in the hands
of the Committee not later than twenty days after the Celebration closes.
Not more than five pictures will be accepted from any one exhibitor. No
person can win more than one prize in any one class.

THE CELEBRATION DECORATIVE SCHEME

To a Newark architect, Mr. Jordan Green, was awarded the prize of
$500 offered by the Parades and Decoration Committee for the best plan for
street decoration for the celebration. The committee unanimously endorsed
the selection made by Henry Baechlin and Gilbert C. Higby, the two archi-
tects who had been appointed to examine and advise upon the plans sub-
mitted. The official Anniversary colors, adopted by the Executive and Fi-
nance and the Parades and Decorations Committees, are the orange and
black of the University of Princeton, whose first home and inspiration was in
Newark. At the intersection of Broad and Market Streets, four ornamental

plaster pylons are placed, one at each of the four corners. These pylons are
six feet square and twenty-six feet high, and surmounted by a figure seven
feet high symbolizing commerce and industry. At the important centers
of interest throughout the central part of the city, namely, Washington,
Military, and Lincoln Parks, Essex County Court House, Pennsylvania Rail-
road Station, etc., forty-eight additional pylons are placed. These pylons
are similar to those at the corner of Broad and Market Streets, and are six
feet square and twenty-two feet high. The lighting poles along the two main
Streets are decorated with bunting, flags, and festoons. The official colors of
the celebration, orange and black, give the dominating effects to the color
scheme. Electrical streamers and festoons suspended between the lighting
poles provide brilliant illumination, completing the decorative scheme and
making possible a continuous display.

The Architect's Interpretation

Mr. Green gives the following interpretation of the decorative scheme:
"The general scheme for the decoration of the city provides for the em-
bellishment of the two principal streets. Broad and Market Streets, and the
buildings fronting thereon. These streets, which are in plan in the form of
a cross, intersect at the commercial heart of the city and terminate at their
end at points of interest, namely city parks. County House and rail-
road stations. At the P. R. R. Station a Court of Welcome is provided, com-
prised of an imposing historical monument surrounded by a covered colon-
nade. At Lincoln Park a Monumental Court of Honor is planned and the

250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 25

intersection of Broad and Market Streets is covered by an impressive dome
executed in various colors. The intersecting streets are spanned by appro-
priate arches, columns, etc. The street lighting poles along the front are
decorated and covered with historical, industrial and commercial flags and
banners which are connected by festoons to illuminate at night. Reviewing
stands are provided for all needs. Symbolical scuplture is employed and at
night the whole decorative scheme is brilliantly illuminated."

The Poster Catalogue

Owing to their great merit, and the wide attention given to the Newark
Anniversary Posters, the Committee of One Hundred has issued an illustrated
catalogue of these posters for the benefit of art and print collectors, artists
and students in all parts of the country.

The catalogue contains a large number of half-tone reproductions, and
portraits of the prize winning artists, while the three posters which won the
$1,000, $500 and $300 prizes are exquisitely printed in colors.

The edition is limited, and copies of it will be in demand by collectors
within a short time. Applications for it, if accompanied by payment, will be
filled in the order in which they are received. Price, postage paid, in the
United States, 25 cents.

250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 33

THE PAGEANT AND THE CELEBRATION

In making a festival for the two hundred and fifty years of Newark's
achievement, it is most reasonable that Newark should take one clear look at
the life of these years as they passed by. It is lo make this glimpse the
clearer that the pageant is to be produced. After all, the city is not celebrating
its mere duration; it is celebrating the growth through that duration, of its
community life.

The pageant given at Weequahic Park will set forth in broad, graphic
action the successive phases of the city's experiences. To the younger
generation the study of history in books, especially of local his-
tory, is likely to have but a limited significance. Events must
b^ seen, historical words must be heard, and the whole must bt
suffused with the dramatic feeling which accompanies the crises of the strug-
gle, in order that these years may live again in our imaginations.

This problem — the problem of making the past speak of itself, potently, in
ringing tones, is the problem which the pageant attacks. It goes about this
work directly. Have we in the history a time when the Puritan spirit was
driven by its own sense of righteousness to this place; when the founders
moored their boats and made their bargains . This the time pageant sets
before our eyes. The founders, in their character and habit as they lived
move and speak, and have their being; the establishment of the town, its
consistencies, its prejudices, its ideals — all these things reach the audience
of the pageant easily and dii-ectly. The growing feeling of insubordination
to the exactions of the proprietors and that greater discontent which followed
and which culminated in the stirring scenes of the revolution can be readily
portrayed.

The growth of the modern city through the less isolated but frequently
very important events of the first halt of the Nineteenth Century furnish us,
roughly speaking, another act in the drama, and after all it is this sequence
of events — this cumulative common experience — that gives motive and mean-
ing to our celebration as a whole.

So it is most fitting that the pageant should be the first phasi of the cele-
bration; and having looked back over its two and a half centuries of life,
the city may then turn its attention to its living present and its festival year.

Beautiful Scenes of Newark's Pageant

{From The NewarJcer)
When you come to the pageant you arrive at a hilltop and look down upon
a great amphitheatre. It is after sunset and from the hill you catch faint
glimpses of the city in the after-glow. Below you in the great natural bowl
of the pageant ground you see a ribbon of quiet water reflecting the tops of
great trees beyond an open space. This space is the stage proper and the
woods constitute the back drop. The lagoon lies where you might expect
the footlights to be. On the near side of the water is the orchestra pit and
the seating for the chorus, and behind these the great sloping fan-shaped
grandstand — a theatre without galleries, open to the sky, where forty thous-
and spectators may be easily accommodated, where the ventilation is perfect
and barring actual matters of distance, where one seat is about as good as
another.

34 Official Guide and Manual

You take your seat as the overture begins and as it progresses a mist arises
and Veils the stage. It is growing dark. You are conscious of th'.^ great
breathing crowd around you but bc-yond the waters, nothing is clearly dis-
cernible. Then a moving light on the water catches your eye. It is a lantern
carried high aloft and for a moment the darkness is pierced by a ray of light.
The lantern is at the masthead of a 16th century caravel which seems to pick
its way through the mist. As it passes another light flickers up on shore — a
fire, and around it you see vaguely at first a great group of Indians dancing.
As the fire grows higher the shadows s.-em to dance above them — tremendous
distorted shadows on the wall of mist. The caravel passes. As the music
changes the Indian dance changes to a pantomime representing through war
and savage heraldry the great legend of the Leni Lenape, the aboriginal In-
dians of East Jersey. A second ship passes, and then a third — the Half
Moon, and with this and a sudden note of tragedy, the Prologue, a work of
action, music and pantomime, is completed. \'ou have seen in a swift pano-
rama, the ships of the three great explorers, Cabot, Verrazzano and Hudson;
the first fatal encounter between the white man and the Indian on this coast;
and the most notable legend of the Indians themselves.

At this point the pageant proper begins.

The mists have disappeared and the stage lies dark. Another ship appears
and on its deck you see a number of figures. As the ship approaches the
center of the lagoon the light upon the deck brightens until this group of
figures is clearly illuminated, and you see them to be men in the dress of 1666,
Puritans. They are holding a conference and now for the first time you
hear spoken words, the wonderfully eloquent and characteristic words of the
Newark fundamental agreement. Robert Treat, Samuel Swain, and others
of the first group of settlers become known to you. The light which had been
concentrated upon the deck of the ship now broadens and brightens and the
whole stage is seen. The founders make their landing and are met by an
angry group of Indians. Their negotiations with the natives promising no
result, Robert Treat and some of the others go off with the Indians to consult
with Chief Oraton. When they return, Perro and his chiefs come with them.
A council is held. With the interpreters the purchase of the site of Newark
is definitely arranged. And in this scene of the play you have found out
what manner of men the founders were; how they looked and spoke and felt
about their settlement and its relations to the Indians and Lord Proprietors.
With the coming of the second group of settlers, the men of Branford, begins
a scene of a town meeting. You now see Pastor Abraham Pierson, and the
venerable Jasper Crane and hear the words of the four texts which were set
at the head of the Branford agreement. You see the naming of the new
town and the drawing for the home lots and this after, in rapidly succeeding
dramatic scenes, the conference on Divident Hill; the surrender and oath of
allegiance to the Dutch; the return of the English governor; the demand of
Governor Andros and the town's splendid defiant reply; all these quickly
moving scenes give place at the end of the first movement of the pageant to a
scene within the church, showing more vividly what the precceding scenes
have all indicated; that the town and the congregation, the church and the
community, were identical.

250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 35

The pageant now passes over a period of more than sixty years and when
the second movement begins you find yourself in the middle of the 18th
century. You see the Reverend Aaron Burr and his pupils, the entire student
body of the college which was the forerunner of Princeton University. You
see these students surrounded by a life of political violence and discontenti
flaming out in sudden riot against the exactions of a distant and tyrannica
government. You see the most distinguished soldier and citizen of Newark,
Colonel Peter Schuyler, gathering round him the Jersey Blues to lead them
to the French and Indian War. The general impression of the first scene
of the second movement of the pageant is the growing attitude in favor of
revolt against injustice culminating in revolution. And now the stage seems
to grow deeper and broader as you discern, coming up from a great distance,
Washington and his fugitive army in the retreat through Jersey, and following
him, the British under Lord Cornwallis. This part of the history is more
familiar but not less dramatic and in the third movement we come to matters
still nearer to the present day and are concerned with events which accom-
panied the growth of Newark from a colonial village to a great manufacturing
and commercial city.

THE CHORAL PRIZE AWARD

The five hundred dollar prize offered by the New Jersey Tri-City Music
Festivals — Paterson, Newark and Jersey City — for the best choral work for
mixed chorus and orchestra, written by an American citizen on an American
subject, was awarded to Franz Carl Bornschein, of Baltimore, Maryland,
whose composition "Onowa," entered under the nom-de-plume of "Honos

36 Official Guide and Manual

Alit Artes," was judged the best. Dr. Carl Busch, conductor of the Kansas
City Symphony Orchestra, who submitted a composition "America," won
second choice, and W. Franke Harling, of Boston, won third place with his
work, "The Miracle of Time."

Franz Carl Bornscheim a violinist, teacher in the preparatory department
of the Peabody Institute of Music, director of the students' orchestra at
that institution, conductor of the Orchestra Music Settlement of Baltimore,
and the composer of a violin concerto in G minor, "The Dijinns," "Zorha,"
etc. He was formerly music critic on the Baltimore Evening Sun.

Dr. Carl Busch is the conductor of the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra,
and composer of "King Olaf," "The Four Winds," "American Flag," or-
chestral works, Indian songs, etc. He has won many competition prizes
in the past.

Mr. Harling is well known as a composer and through his connections
with the Boston Music Company.

The judges of the contest were: Josef Stransky, conductor of the New-
York Philharmonic Orchestra; Louis Koemmenich, conductor of the New
York Oratorio Society, and C. Mortimer Wiske, conductor of the three New
Jersey Festivals. All three decided upon the same winners.

NEWARK'S INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION

As the plans for the Industrial Exposition are developed, it becomes clear
that Newark will have an exhibit of its processes and products which will
surprise its own people, and be a revelation to the Celebration visitor.

The worry is not that Newark will not fill up the exposition, but rather
that the exposition space is too small to adequately represent the city. If
but a single manufacturer in each line were to exhibit his products properly,
there would not be a building in the city large enough to contain the wonder-
ful display. It will be necessary to condense many of the leading industries
into collective exhibits. From the standpoint of the spectator, this is a gain.
The city has over 240 different lines of industry.

The architects, Guilbert & Betelle, have conceived a decorative plan,
with simplicity for its keynote, that will completely transform the armory,
clothing the structure's severity in a fashion splendidly consistent with the
nature of the exposition and superbly beautiful. Illusion will enter into the
plan, for a dark blue material is to form the ceiling, with the result that by
day, with transmitted light, the effect of limitless vertical distance, topped by
a cloudy sky, will be secured; and by night, with the electric lights beneath
the canopy, the illusion will be even more striking.

The internal construction of the armory will be masked with cases of a
design in harmony with the general scheme. The supports will be treated
to change them into columns of the true exposition type. A simple color
scheme of French-gray, white and gold, will form an unobtrusive, and, at
the same time, enhancing background for the display of the varied wares
Newark has to show. The matter of lighting is to be taken care of by 5,000
40-watt- lights and thirty-two 500-watt lights. The lighting system will be

250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey

indirect. The glare of the lights, equalling the brilliance of midday, will be
toned down to a soft glow that will reveal the exhibits at their best.

There are three angles from which to view the organization of an expo-
sition: the commercial, the decorative or artistic and that of the public.
The layout of the armory space is frankly cold. Yet it must be made to satisfy
all three requirements. The public needs certain provisions for its safety

Seth Boyden Monument, Washington Park, Newark

and comfort and it has been possible to make this provision and, at the same
time, secure a total available exhibit area 6,000 square feet greater than was
ever possible in Madison Square Garden. What will do for Mars won't do
for Industry. The platforms and seats as they are seen when Mars holds
forth in the l)uilding will have disappeared.

38 Official Guide and Manual

The main Hoor will be divided into eiglit Ijlocks, cac-li 100 feet long, with
decorative columns, with cornice construction and pergolas, dressed with
vines and flowers. The exhibits w'ill in many cases, be machinery in actual
operation. Processes the public has perhaps but the slightest knowledge of
will be on view. Finished products will be turned out and the management
has stated it will permit exhibitors to sell to spectators any products that are
in the concern's usual line made in the building. One of the exhibits that
will be in actual operation will be an elevator, erected at the Sussex Avenue
end. It will be decorative as well as useful, with a handsome ornamental
bronze housing.

THE NEWARK MUSICIANS' CLUB

The musical program, a part of the opening exercises of the Celebration at
Proctor's Theatre on the afternoon of May 1st, is furnished by the Newark
Musicians' Club. A vocal ensemble of sixteen voices, representing sixteen of
Newark's best known singers and just as many of Newark's best known choirs,
is under the direction of Frank C. Mindnich, organist and choir director. The
singers are: (Sopranos) Ottilie Macdonald, Mrs. Herbert H. Smith, Mrs.
George J. Kirwan, Mrs. Inez Allen Potter; (Contraltos) Mary V. Potter,
Mrs. George W. Baney, Mrs. Mollie C. Ely, Mrs. Belle T. Sutherland; (Ten-
ors) Harry M. Biggin, Ernest H. Burkhardt, Henry Merker, John A. Campbell;
(Basses) Millard Roubaud, Elmer E. Ross, Nicholas J. Tynan, Malcolm
Corlies.

The club is also organizing an orchestra, which will be composed of from
fifteen to twenty pieces, under the direction of C. Mortimer Wiske, conduitor
of the Newark Music Festival, who is an honorary member of the club.

The Newark Musicians' Club, which now has a membership of nearly
two hundred, including the most prominent musicians of the city and sub-
urbs, since its organization tw-o years ago, has accomplished a great deal in its
effort to cultivate a greater desire for good music in Newark. The Newark
Music Festival was organized by one of its members and has had the club's
entire support from the beginning. The idea of a Municipal Organ Fund also
originated in the club, which has already approj)riated over $500 for this pur-
pose. The club has also been the means of bringing the local musicians into
closer relationship with each other, thus making many worthy enterprises
possible. The club is to Ijc congratulated upon the work it is doing on behalf
of the city.

HOW NEWARK GOT ITS SEAL

Newark became a city in 1836, and the Council on June !27 of that year
adopted a seal described in a special committee report as follows: "On
the right hand is a female figure seated; her right arm resting on the hilt of a
sword, her left supporting a scale in equal balance. On tlie left is a female
figure in a standing posture sustaining with her right hand the standard and
cap of liberty, and her left arm resting on a bundle of rods, holding the olive
branch. Between these figures is a shield, on which three ploughs are repre-
sented; above is the dexter arm suspending a hammer. Encircling the
whole are the letters and figures following: 'Newark City seal. Incorpora-
ted 1836.' "

The name of the designer is not known, but he borrowed his design largely
from that of the seal of the State of New Jersey, made by Pierre Eugene du
Simitiere, of Philadelphia, the original of which is in the office of the Secre-
tary of State at Trenton. The original committee report on the State seal
describes the arms as "three Ploughs in an Escutcheon, the Supporters,
Liberty and Ceres, and the Crest, a Horse's Head, these words to be engraved
in large letters around the Arms, viz.; 'The Great Seal of the State of New
Jersey.' "

Comparison of this seal with that of Newark shows in both the figure of
Liberty, but in the city emblem, instead of Ceres carrying the horn of plenty
it is on the ground at the feet of the figure of Liberty. The three ploughs
are in both seals.

PORT NEWARK TERMINAL

Through the development of its vast waterfront Newark Is now enabled to
offer factory sites bordering on the best-equipped waterrail terminal on the
Atlantic coast: an ideal industrial center combining the finest service in
ocean and domestic transportation. Eighty per cent, of all transcontinental
freights now pass through the zone of this immense betterment, for which
bond issues to the amount of $2,250,000 have thus far been authorized, and
$1,670,000 expended upon its initial unit alone. It means in the near future
the establishment of one of the world's greatest seaports. The plans call for a
series of water channels from the main ship channel and running back into
the marsh lands one-half mile to one mile. The piers with the proposed
length of 1,200 feet will be the longest on the Eastern seaboard and will
accommodate the largest ocean liners now afloat or designed.

Newark Department of Docks and Meadows created Jan. 1, 1914.

First dredging contract for Port Newark Terminal awarded Feb., 1914,
and work begun March 21 the same year.

THE FAMOUS COLLEONI STATUE

Presented to the City of Newark by Christian W. Feigenspan
Illustration on pages 48 and 49

June, the second month of the Celebration, will witness the installation
of another monumental work of art to adorn the city. It was a proud day
for Newark when Mr. Christian W. Feigenspan announced that he would give
the city a bronze replica of the greatest equestrian statue in the world, that
of the General Bartolomeo CoUeoni in Venice, by Andrea Verrocchio, the
famous Florentine artist. The CoUeoni statue will be placed in Clinton Park,
the triangle at Lincoln Park, and now occupied by a fountain.

There is only one copy of the statue in bronze, and that is in Paris. Mr.
J. Massey Rhind, the sculptor, has been chosen to prepare the work; he also
made the equestrian statue of Washington, which stands in Washington Park.

Verrocchio died after completing the model of the CoUeoni statue, and
left word that his pupil Lorenzo di Credi should cast it in bronze. The Vene-
tian authorities, however, determined that one of their own citizens should have
the work. Alessandro Leopardi, who had made the sockets for the flagstaff s
on the Piazza of San Marco, but who had been expelled from Venice on
account of forgery, was recalled and given the casting of the statue. He
designed the pedestal which bears his name, and had the effrontery to put
his name on the saddle of the horse.

Leopardi would never have conceived the statue, and only the ignorant
would have given him credit. To Verrocchio alone belongs the honor of this
magnificent work.

The only other statue in the world that can compare with the CoUeoni is
that of Gattamelata by Donatello, which was the first great equestrian mon-
ument in bronze, cast in Italy after the Renaissance.

Verrocchio was the pupil of Donatello, but he surpassed his master in his
study of nature, and as the teacher of Leonardo da Vinci had a strong in-
fluence upon the development of Italian art.

There has never been an adverse criticism of this magnificent work of art,
from the time of its erection in 1493 to the present day.

The poise of the statue is perfect, the horse standing firmly tmsupported
while his anatomy shows the sculptor's knowledge of his subject. Ruskin
wrote of the CoUeoni: "I do not believe there is a more glorious work of
sculpture existing in the world than the equestrian statue of Bartolomeo
CoUeoni."

ORIGIN OF THE CELEBRATION

N'jwark's "Big Birtliday Party" liail its inception in tlie early part of
191S, when Jacob Haiissling, the Mayor, in his annual message suggested the
celebration. The proposal was received favorably and the necessary bill was
.submitted to the Legislature. It was not until the following year, however,
that the Legislature passed the Act, known as Chapter 8, Laws of 1914,
enabling cities of the state to appropriate money for the purpose of celebrat-
ing the 250th anniversary of their settlement. TJnder this Act, the Common
Council of the City of Newark, adopted a resolution on April 3rd, authorizing
the Mayor to appoint a committee of one hundred residents to prepare the
plans and conduct the cele))ration. Mayor Haussling, in July, notified one
hundred citizens of their selection to serve on the committee.

Newark Municipal Parks

Newark as a municipality has under the care of the Shade Tree Commis-
sion 27 parks with a total arei of about 22 acres and valued at $9,250,000.
The principal ones are:

Military Park, 6.45 acres, valuation $6,000,000. Dates back to the fir.st
settlement in 1066, when it was "The Training Ground," where the Puritan
fathers drilled to resist possible attacks by hostile Indians. About 1800
it was enclosed with a post and rail fence and the town shepherd herded his
flocks there. During the Civil War it was a recruiting and drill ground for
Union volunteers.

W^ashington Park, 3.40 acres, valuation $1,700,000, is notable for the
Washington Monument. At the southern end stood the old stone Academy,
burned by the British in 1780. This park also comprises ground dedicated
to public use by the original settlers.

Lincoln Park, 4.37 acres, valuation $1,200,000, is the best shaded of the
municipal parks, the worth of its 205 trees being estimated at $31,500.

mission, and marks, as its name indicates, the spot where Robert Treat and
his companion settlers came ashore from their boats.

Parkways

Newark has in addition 15 handsomely laid out parkways with an aggre-
gate length of 3.41 miles and area of 8.58 acres. The largest. Forest Hill
Parkway, reached by Mount Prospect trolley, has some beautiful landscapes.

MUNICIPAL SUPERVISION OF SHADE TREES

Newark's Shade Tree Commission is composed of three members, resident
freeholders, holding office by appointment of the Mayor. They serve without
compensation, and are given by statute, "exclusive and absolute control and
power" over the shade trees in the streets and parks of the city.

In the old days, the shade trees were looked after in a hap-hazard fashion,
as it was a case of what was everybody's business was nobody's business. But
since it became the specific duty of this body to look after Newark's trees, a
decided improvement has been noted, and the city has rapidly become one
of the best shaded in the country.

The Commission in the spring and fall sets out trees along the city streets
in accordance with a well-defined plan, and under two systems known as the
"assessment" and the "request" systems. For the first, notices are printed
in the newspapers, and a hearing given to the property owners interested.
An agreement is reached, and the cost of planting the trees is assessed against
the real estate in front of which the trees are set out. The average assessment
per tree in 1915 was $4.21, comprising only the actual cost for tree, subsoiling,
guard, stakes, and labor.

The "request" plan is used where property owners make formal request
on the Commission to plant trees adjoining their property, and the expense
is paid by bill.

The Commission cares for all trees with tenderness and scientific skill.
It mulches, trims, sprays, and waters them, and replaces those that die.
But the expense of removing the dead tree is charged up to the property
owner. The spraying is done systematically, and cocoons, egg-masses and
borers are destroyed.

The Shade Tree Commission has organized the children into bands of
"Tree Protectors," and has led in the activities which developed the spirit
and the work of Arbor Day.

At the beginning of 1916 there were in Newark 06,000 shade trees, valued
at $1,400,000.

NEWARK'S PHILANTHROPIES

(May 19th and 20th have been designated as visiting days to Newark's
charitable institutions.)

Newark deserves the title of a philanthropic city. To its credit be it said
there are sixty-five private philanthropic organizations in the city besides
municipal, county, and state agencies.

Miss Katharine Quinn as Paints and Colors in Industrial Dance

Among the private charities premiership must be given to the Newark
Female Charitable Society, an organization that is still virile and influential
though it has celebrated some time since its One Hundredth Birthday. This
organization held its first meeting January 31st, 1803. Among its workers
now are descendants of those who originally gave of their time and means in
forwarding its work. The Newark Orphan Asylum was organized in 1848 and
the Protestant Foster Home in the same year. The Crazy Jane Society
was organized in 1850 and St. Mary's Orphan Aslyum in 1853. From the

Official Guide and Manual

standpoint of modernness and the social value of the work is the Division of
Child Hygiene of the Newark Board of Health. This agency is only three
years old but is doing a work of significance and of great social value to the
city.

Newark has 14 hospitals and institutions for the sick and ailing. These
include the Babies' Hospital, Beth Israel, City Hospital (maintained by the
city), German Hospital, the Hospital for Women and Children, St. Barna-
bas', St. James', St. Michael's, The Presbyterian Hospital, The Home (it is a
hospital) for Crippled Children, The Home for Incurables and Hospital,
Homeopathic Hospital, Eye and Ear Infirmary, Tuberculosis Hospital at
Verona (maintained by the city). In addition to the above, there are the
county institutions giving treatment to those suffering from contagious diseases
and to advanced tuberculosis. There is also the State Hospital for incipient
tuberculosis at Glen Gardner.

To provide nursing for the sick, there is the Visiting Nurse Association
with headquarters at 16 Camp Street. The Anti-Tuberculosis Association,
of which Francis J. Swayze is President, which does a follow-up work of pre-
vention and education in tuberculous cases. The city spent last year on its
medical charities over $325,000.

'Little Island," near Boulder Bridge, Branch Brook Park

For befriending needy families in their homes there are 9 societies in New-
ark. These include the Bureau of Associated Charities, the Female Charita-
ble Society, the Crazy Jane Society, The Hebrew Benevolent Society, the
Hebrew Ladies' Sewing Circle, Hebrew Ladies' Immediate Relief Society,
the West Side Ladies' Relief Society, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul
with its many branches, and the Poor and Alms Department of the city. To
these agencies may be added the New Jersey Legal Aid Society, of which
Mayor Raymond is President, which furnishes free legal advice and a poor
man's lawyer; also the Needlework Guild which supplies free garments to
institutions and individuals. The 7 day nurseries may be grouped here:

Nursery recently organized by the Catholic women of St. Rose of Lima's
Church.

For the relief of homeless, needy and delinquent children, Newark has
made ample provision. There are 8 institutions for the continuous care,
day and night, of children, besides two Children's Aid organizations, one
Protestant and one Catholic, for the general care and protection of children.
Among the institutions are the 8th Avenue Baby Shelter and Day Nursery,
the Protestant Foster Home, the Protestant Orphan Asylum, the Home for
the Friendless, the Newark Orphan Asylum, St. Mary's Orphan Asylum,
St. Peter's, and the Hebrew Orphan Asylum. The children's societies are the
Children's Aid and S. P. C. C, 249 Mulberry Street, an active, vigorous, or-
ganization that has revived and broadened its work, and the Catholic Chil-
dren's Aid Society, located in the Social Service Building, 13 Central Avenue,
which represents an advanced work among Catholics looking to the protec-
tion and the home-care of neglected Catholic children in the diocese. The
institutions and societies for the care of children expended about $150,000
during the last report year.

Provision is made for the homeless in two industrial lodging houses, the
J. Clement French Industrial Home at 51 Plane Street, and the Rescue Home
at 15 Spring Street. The Salvation Army maintains an industrial building
at 405 N. J. R. R. Avenue in which rescue work is done for men. These men
are employed driving salvage wagons which collect the cast-off material from
the citizens and in sorting and baling this material. Much valuable rescue
work has been done in connection with this institution under the present de-
voted Salvation Army officer. For homeless women, besides the Rescue
Home, there is the Sophia Cory T/odging House for Women, 108 Quitman
Street, a private philanthropy recently started with money left by the one
for whom it is named.

Provision for the homeless aged is made by the City of Newark at is newt
Almshouse. The term "Almshouse" is to be dropped and the new institution
is to be called Newark's Home for the Aged. This building is at Ivy Hill,
splendidly located for the health and happiness of these old people. The
private homes are the Baptist Home, Bethany Home, Job Haines' Home, The
Protestant Home for Respectable Aged Women, the Gottfried Krueger Greisen-
heim (now practically a private Home maintained entirely by Judge Krueger),
Daughters of Israel Home for the Aged, 54-60 Sterling Street, and the Colored
Home for the Aged in Irvington. This is the only colored Home in Northern
New Jersey.

For the protection of wayward girls, private philanthropy maintains a
Christian Refuge at 107 Mechanic Street and the Florence Crittenton Home
on Mt. Pleasant Avenue, one of a chain of Homes maintained by the Florence
Crittenton League throughout the United States.

In the Newark schools are maintained special classes for sub-normal and
defective children. These include classes for the blind, for the deaf-mute,
and for the feeble minded. In Newark is the headquarters of the State Com-
mission for the Blind, a Commission that maintains a census of the blind of

the State and conducts classes for teaching the blind to read and for broaden-
ing their interests, also industrial classes through which the blind are taught
self-supporting occupations.

Among the social betterment agencies, the last of the group, may be includ-
ed the Silver Lake Welfare Association, operating in the northern end of
the city, also the Public Welfare Committee which has done signal service in
arousing interest in civic welfare.

Through these private and public philanthropic agencies is spent each
year a total of nearly $2,000,000; on the private charities alone more than
$900,000.

The logic of the situation requires a central organization which shall study
the city problem as a whole and shall operate to the end of bringing system
and method into the activities of these charities and in increasing co-opera-
tion so that they may accomplish definite ends. The Bureau of Associated
Charities performs this function for the city. It is one of a chain of 240 similar

organizations stretching throughout the United States. Regardless of its
personnel, the possession of such an organization and the degree of adequacy
with which it is supported is a pretty fair index of the intelligence with which
a city is meeting its problem of poverty. The Bureau has the function of
"organizing" the private charity of the community and of giving purpose and
method to individual charity.

NEW JERSEY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

The New Jersey Historical Society was organized in the City Hall, Trenton,
on February 27, 1845. There had been held a previous meeting in Trenton
on January 13th, attended, because of a severe snow storm, by but a small
group of men who did little more than appoint a committee to draft the in-
struments of organization. At the February meeting a constitution and by-
laws were adopted.

New Jersey Historical Society Building

On May 7, 1845, according to a resolution of the February meeting, the
roll of charter members was closed with a membership of 88, of which number
26 were residents of Newark.

Sons and grandsons of the founders of the Historical Society are present
members of the organization, and some are members of the Committee of
One Hundred on the 250th Anniversary of Newark.

The Society's building is located at 18 West Park Street, near Broad. It is
open from nine until five o'clock. Students of local and national history.

genealogists and antiquarians find there rich mines of documentary and pub-
lished material well-indexed and ready for investigation. The business of
the Society, is history, biography, genealogy, and related branches; and

the State, the efficiency of the institution is maintained. Anybody of worthy
character may belong to this learned institution by the payment of the re-
quired dues following election by the board of trustees.

NEWARK'S WATER SUPPLY

The drinking water supplied to Newark's inhabitants by the city from
its own plants is of ideal purity. It was so pronounced as long ago as George
Washington's administration by experts appointed by Alexander Hamilton.
It comes more than thirty miles through pipes from the everlasting hills of
the Pequannock region in Morris, Passaic and Sussex counties. To safe-
guard the absolute purity of the supply whole villages have been obliterated,
and fertile valleys turned into lakes. The City of Newark is the largest land-
owner in New Jersey. Its holdings of realty in the Pequannock watershed,
about 25,000 acres, surpass in area the forest reserve of the State.

Until the beginning of the 18th century Newark was supplied with water
from springs and wells. In 1799 the Legislature chartered the Newark Acque-
duct Company, which built the first reservoir on Orange Street, above High.
Wooden pipes and even hollowed logs were used. Workmen in recent years
have unearthed some of these primitive conduits. The water came from
Branch Brook.

In 1865 a reservoir and pumping station were established on the Passaic
River above Belleville. This plant was abandoned nearly 30 years later on
account of the pollution of the river, and in 1892 the first water from the
Pequannock region was turned on.

NEWARK'S GREAT ATHLETIC EVENTS

When the gates are thrown open at Weequahic Park for the National
Amateur Athletic Union Track and Field Championships in September,
Uncle Sam's great athletes will have at their disposal one of the fastest tracks
and the best equipped athletic field in the country.

The running track, which is expected by officials to be the fastest in the
country was laid out by Frederick W. Rubien, secretary-treasurer of the
A. A. U., and the construction has been under the supervision of Mr. Rubien
and other officials of the Union, with W. H. ("Sparrow") Robertson, an in-
ternational authority on athletic tracks and fields, in immediate charge of the
work. As the meeting in September, which will bring together the best
athletes in the country, will be the first to be held in the immediate vicinity
of New York since the meet of 1908 at Travers Island, and as the people of
Newark were anxious to have it the best ever held, neither effort nor expense
has been spared to make the track the finest and fastest ever constructed.

Flag Drill, Public School Girls

New Track Records Expected

Mr. Robertson believes this result has been achieved, and his opinion
on such matters is generally accepted as athletic gospel. He said: "I
thought the track I built for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at
Cambridge in 1914 was the best ever constructed and the fastest I had ever
seen. Now I am confident this Newark track will be faster by fractions of a
second on the straightaway and by a full second on the full quarter- mile oval

132 Official Guide and Manual

course, and look for the creation of new world's records there if next year's
atheletes improve relatively with their gradual improvement from year to
year. As athletes improve somewhat faster than methods of construction
of the tracks they run over, I have every reason for believing that we shall
see such phenomenal performances on the new cinder path as will add credit
to the 250th birthday celebration of Newark, in which athletic sports will be
a conspicuous feature."

Straightaway 24 Feet Wide

Reasons for Mr. Robertson's belief that the track is athletically perfect
are based on refinements of track construction which have been applied in the
building of this one. Both the track itself and the straightaway are twenty-
four feet wide through their whole extent, with a slight elevation on the two
turns, reaching a maximum of a foot at the outer edge. This will give ample
room for six hurdle lanes, two more than on the customary tracks. This
grade on the turns is such as will enable an athlete to take them at the top
of his speed if he so desires.

The track is built on a uniform bed, with a slope of one inch in nine feet
from either edge to the coarse rubble and cinder drain, six feet wide and about
eight inches in depth at its exact centre. Above this is placed a six-inch bed
of coarse cinders, topped by a bed two inches in thickness of three-fourths-
inch mesh screened cinders — the top dressing of ordinary tracks. Above
this is spread a final dressing of steam boiler cinders and clay, in equal parts,
screened through a five-sixteenths-inch mesh, which Mr. Robertson says, is
the finest pulverized top dressing ever used on a running track. This com-
bination is expected to give unusual resiliency and that perfect "springiness"
the athlete is always looking for.

250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 153

Work started June 24, 1914.

Tunnel and foundation completed within one year.

Cornerstone of building laid July 20, 1915.

Building opened for street railway operation, April 30, 1916.

8,000 tons of steel and 4,000,000 brick used in structure, besides marble,
limestone, terra cotta, hollow brick, concrete, tile, mosaic and slate.

Miles and miles of wire, piping and conduit.

Newark's new electric railway terminal is unique in the development of
the electric railway industry; not only on account of the magnitude of the
project, which cost more than $5,000,000, but also in that it solves compli-
cated transportation problems, and because the entire expense of the under-
taking is borne exclusively by the company. Newark has a population of
nearly 400,000 and is the center of a rapidly growing metropolitan district of
at least 1,000,000 persons. In twenty years the population has increased
85 per cent., and the riding on cars 330 per cent.

Public Service Railway Company, for which the terminal was built, oper-
ates 860 miles of road, which covers 136 municipalities and serves a popula-
tion of approximately 2,100,000 people whose homes are spread over an area
of 2,000 square miles in New Jersey. Proper electric railway service for
Newark was a serious problem even prior to 1903. Owing to the fact that
the street layout is somewhat like a fan, the extensive development of the
outlying districts built up a traffic of electric cars and other vehicles that
caused congestion at the crux of the layout. Broad and Market Streets.

Solving the Problem

While Mr. Thomas N. McCarter, President of Public Service, was at the
head of the American Electric Railway Association in 1912, he made an ex-
tensive tour, in an official capacity, and inspected the most important electric
railway properties in the United State. During his visit he was very much
impressed with the results that were obtained through electric railway termi-
nals, especially in the West, and, on returning home, had a firm conviction
that the Newark electric railway problem could be best solved by some sort
of a terminal scheme. His suggestion was to separate the terminal into two
floors, so that the cars coming from the west would enter a private right-
of-way near the Morris Canal on Washington Street, and then dropping into
a subway under Halsey Street, Cedar Street and Broad Street, would enter the
Park Place Terminal on a sub-surface level, rounding a loop and returning by
the same route. On the other hand, cars from the north, east and south to
operate from Mulberry Street on an elevated floor into the terminal struc-
ture, rounding a loop and returning in the same manner. Or, as President
McCarter at first put the proposition, one loop was to be super-imposed above
the other but at opposite ends of the terminal. Preliminary plans were then
prepared for the site on Park Place and Mulberry Street, just 1,000 feet from
the "Four Corners," embodying the general scheme outlined, creating a
terminal which is the logical thing for a city that is fast becoming the center
for interurban traffic. Besides, it affords a site for an office building for the
Corporation in the business district in the largest city in New Jersey.

Subway

Beginning at the west of Washington Street there is an open cnt near Plum
Street beginning on private right-of-way and gradually dropping to the portal
of the subway adjoining the Y. M. C. A. building on Halscy Street. It con-
tinues under Halsey Street, under and along Cedar Street and under and
across Broad Street. At the southerly apex of Military Park, the incoming
and outgoing tracks diverge and cross under Park Place into the terminal site,
still at an elevation of about 21 feet below the curb line. The ingoing track
then diverges into two unloading tracks on the southerly side, each 280 feet
long. The loading tracks on the northerly side, after passing around the

250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 155

loop, are three in number and are 225 feet long. These three loading tracks
unite into a single outgoing track into Washington Street. The sub-surface
of the terminal has a frontage of 18-1 feet on Park Place, and extends 512
feet east across Pine Street. The total area of the sub-surface terminal is
about 104,000 square feet.

The loading tracks are supplied with six stairways to the concourse which
is to be on the street level, and the unloading tracks have four stairways for
exit. Besides, there is a single stairway on the center platform, as the eleva-
tors in the front wing do not extend below the concourse. The space in the
East Park Street wing is devoted to boilers and power plant accessories. The
area left by the tracks on the Park Place front is utilized for the company's
mailing department. The North Canal Street wing is taken up by the
building stores and the building carpenter and building engineer. Besides
the actual space on the subway floor there is an additional mezzanine floor
over the North Canal Street wing.

Elevated Train Floor

The elevated train floor at and above the surface of the ground takes care
of the cars from the east, south and north. The tracks leave Mulberry Street
and gradually ascend on an elevated structure to Pine Street, where the
elevation is sufficient for vehicular traffic clearance underneath the track sup-
porting trestle. When the structure reaches the clearance elevation at Pine
Street, it continues on the same level to Park Place. The unloading tracks are
on the north side and are two in number, approximately 140 feet and 170
feet long. There are three loading tracks on the south side, 190 feet, 180
feet and 140 feet long. So, by superimposing the two train floors, one
above the other, the unloading tracks of the subway are directly underneath
the loading tracks of the elevated platform. Likewise, the loading tracks of
the subway are directly underneath the unloading tracks of the elevated train
floor.

For the loading platforms there are six stairways leading to the concourse
and five stairways for the unloading platforms. The westerly stairway is
11 feet wide. The East Park Street wing on the elevated floor is taken up by
coal conveying machinery for the power plant, and the North Canal Street
wing is utilized for division offices and the general employment bureau. The
inside of the loop provides a space for the main elevators incidental to the
Park Place entrance. The entire area of the elevated train floor is 70,000
square feet, the same as that of the subway train floor.

Concourse Floor

The separation of the train floors provides a clear space of 70,000 square
feet on the ground floor of the terminal. Not only does it provide a concourse
for the interchange of passengers between two train platforms, but there also
remains additional space for the commercial show rooms of Public Service
Gas Company and Public Service Electric Company. Stairways separately lead
to both the elevated and subway platforms, with waiting rooms, lavatories.

156 Official Guide and Manual

Office Building

The ground floor and elevated floor of the terminal will cover practically
the entire site between Park Place and Pine Street, but extending above the
third floor is an oflSce building of six stories, making the layout complete to
house the home offices of Public Service.

Each office floor has an area of 30,000 square feet, or approximately one-
half of the available plot bounded by Park Place, North Canal Street, Pine
Street and East Park Street. Each wing of the building is only two rooms
deep, so that all offices will have outside windows. These offices will be occu-
pied by the gas, the railway and the electric companies. The fourth floor
is the quarters of the treasurer of the corporation; also the auditing depart-
menL^ of the Public Service Gas and Electric Comi)anies, as well as the general
assembly room. The fifth floor is devoted to the gas company, auditing de-
partment of the railway company and the publicity department. The sixth
floor is reserved for the offices of the railway company. On the seventh floor
are the legal, claim and welfare departments of the corporation, with the
operating offices of the Public Service Electric Company, also the law and
technical library and the real estate department. The eighth floor is devoted
to the executives of the corporation, the general claim department, ofl5cers'
and employes' dining rooms. Over the eighth floor are the kitchen and
chef's headquarters.

On the east side of Pine Street and under the elevated structure, a garage,
100 feet by 150 feet houses 45 cars and provides a means of eliminating the
parking of the company's autos blocking the street and building entrances,
booths and elevators. There are separate entrances on the ground floor at
Park Place, Pine Street, North Canal Street and East Park Street. The
show rooms of the commercial department have similar conveniences. As
an adjunct to the different entrances into the concourse, there are three
sets of elevators for the office building.

In the main concourse considerable area is devoted to commercial booths.
At the Park Place entrance a large lobby is located. Besides, a marquise
extends over the sidewalk all along Park Place frontage, also on North Canal
Street, East Park Street and over the elevated on Pine Street, the latter to
protect the openings into the train shed.

At the easterly and southerly ends of the concourse, the school of instruc-
tion of the railway company, the station master and check room for the
assembly hall are located.

The Park Place and North Canal Street elevations are finished in Blue
Indiana limestone, and the East Park Street elevation is trimmed in the
same material.

Lighting

The system of lighting the building was planned for both gas and elec-
tricity, so that either may be used, combination gas and electric outlets being
installed throughout the building. Four services are brought into the build-
ing, two for light and two for power to the transformers in the basement.
The wiring is to be installed in a rigid conduit system, which is imbedded in
the concrete floors of the building.

250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 157

The illumination of the various offices includes 2,500 fixtures and the
semi-indirect fixtures have glass of the highest efficiency and diffusive powers.

Illumination of the exterior is accomplished through the use of a series of
lights with parabolic reflectors located along the edge of the marquise, so as to
throw the light over the surface of the building.

A complete system of push buttons and annunciators for the respective
officers and their staffs has been provided for throughout the building.

A fire alarm system connects with the city department and also with an-
nunciators in the operating engineer's offices to indicate the location of a
possible fire in the building.

A watchman's system installed so that a watchman's time is recorded on
the clock as he makes his rounds.

There is a complete system of telephone, conduits, outlet boxes, inter-
connection strips, etc., with the operating room located on the fifth floor
of the building.

A system of secondary clocks operated from a master clock is placed in the
elevator halls and large offices.

Some of the Details

The complete floor space of the terminal is 451,000 square feet, or about
ten acres, made up as follows: Subway floor 104,000 square feet; concourse
floor 70,000 square feet; six additional stories 180,000 square feet; elevated
floor 70,000 square feet; kitchen and pent house 12,000 square feet, and garage
east of Pine Street 15,000 square feet. The office building contains 235 work-
ing rooms, and there are 394 including utility rooms.

The foundations and structural work are designed for future extension of
the office building to Pine Street, that will allow 50 per cent, more office
space, or at least 90,000 square feet of floor area. Besides, there is a building
space on Halsey Street and private right-of-way with a frontage of 80 feet
and 150 feet deep, or 12,000 square feet per floor, that may be utilized.

The real estate involved is approximately 130,000 square feet, or about
three acres. Real estate has been purchased adjacent to the terminal site
between Pine Street and Mulberry Street, so that if ever in the future the
canal bed is used for cars a connection can be made into the terminal. The
entire excavation was 100,000 cubic yards, concrete 92,000 cubic yards,
waterproofing 460,000 square feet, steel work 9,000 tons.

The entire amount of piping and conduits is approximately 44 miles.

The final specifications consisted of 109,000 words, and the blue prints of
drawings sent out amounted to 70,000 square feet, or an area equal to that of
Madison Square Garden.

The contract for the subway, including foundations west of Park Place,
the entire excavation under the building, extending to Mulberry Street with
foundations, the retaining walls on Mulberry Street, was let on June 10, 1914,
to the Holbrook, Cabot & Rollins Corporation of New York, about three
months after the final approval of the plans was given by the authorities.
The contract for the remaining portion, including the superstructure, was
awarded to the Hedden Construction Co., of New York, July 24, 1914.

Operation

Going east in the subway, there is a stop at the point of switch on Wash-
ington Street, for interchange of passengers. For the outgoing traffic a stop
is made on private right-of-way just east of Washington Street. Here also is
a small waiting room. The unloading track in the subway will take care of
ten cars at one time if necessary. The loading tracks will handle fifteen cars.

Miss Lois Edflowes as Orchards and Meadows in Nature Spirits Dance

An electrically operated switch and spacing block system is installed for
both the subway and elevated tracks so that cars for the different lines will be
segregated and handled with dispatch. In case of a block in the Terminal
subway the double crossover under Military Park will serve as a means to get
cars in and out of the platforms without tying up traffic. All the mail is re-
ceived and delivered from the mail room on the sub-surface level and a single
elevator runs direct from the mail room through the concourse floor and up to
the train floor, so that mail is received and delivered via the electric cars.

Likewise, the elevated floor allows a very flexible operation. The curves
at Mulberry Street are designed for minimum delays. Here there are two
unloading tracks that may be approached from the north and south on Mul-
berry Street and take care of six cars, all under cover. The three loading
platforms will handle ten cars at one time, and un extra loading track may be
installed at any time. The operation here, as in the subway, is controlled by
electrical switches and spacing blocks. All curves and special work on
both floors are constructed of solid manganese steel rail. Generally, the track
centers for the subway and elevated platforms are 25 feet, giving ample
clearance for stair landings to and from the concourse floor.

The unloading platform is on the elevated floor has four exits to the con-
course floor and the loading platforms, and six stairways entering from the
concourse floor. All loading and unloading platforms on both floors are
carefully separated by ornamental iron fences.

Concourse floor waiting room may be entered from Park Place. East
Park Street, Pine Street and North Canal Street; also the stairways leading up
to separate platforms on the elevated floor and down to separate platforms in
the subway. In the operation of the terminal passengers are not called upon
to cross tracks in getting on and off cars. Signs show passengers just what
stairway to use to get to their particular, line with the least confusion.

Branch Brook Park, Newark

The height of the subway proper, like that of the subway and elevator
floors of the Terminal, allows the operation of a double deck car. Even
when passengers are transferred from the subway train floor to the elevated
train floor, or vice versa, the total climb or descent consists of two lifts of
18 and 17 feet for subway and elevated floors respectively. The distance from
the Hudson Tube, Fulton Street, New York, platform to street level is 32
feet; Bronx Station, 180th Street, New York, 30 feet; Brooklyn Bridge

160 Official Guide and Manual

Subway train platform to Bridge platform, 58 feet; Subway, 170th Street,
46 feet; Third Avenue Elevated, 99th Street, 36 feet; Pennsylvania Railroad
New York Terminal, train platform to street, 40 feet; Long Island Railroad,
New York Terminal, subway platform to street, 43 feet. It is estimated that
400 cars per hour may be easily handled at the Terminal, and figuring 65
people per car, gives a capacity of at least 25,000 per hour, or 50,000 people in
both directions. Considering that the Brooklyn Bridge handles only 800,000
people per day, probably representing 80,000 people in the rush hour, it is
evident that Newark's new Public Service Terminal will take care of traffic
congestion for many years to come.

NEWARK'S NEIGHBORS IN THE CELEBRATION
Points of Interest for Sightseers in the Suburbs — The Greater Newark

As the boundaries of Newark originally ran from the Passaic River to
the top of the Orange Mountains, and included the territories of more than
a score of present-day municipalities which from time to time have been set
off from the original settlement, the Committee of One Hundred justly de-
cided that these communities were entitleld to rejoice with their municipal
mother on her 250th birthday, and invited them to take part in the festivi-
ties. These cities, towns and boroughs, on the other hand, will derive ad-
vantage from the Celebration through excursions by many of Newark's
guests who between the events of the jubilee will find time to view the varied
scenic, historic, social and industrial attractions of the progressive com-
munities which help to make up the Greater Newark.

The Oranges

When Robert Treat and his companions fixed their abode on the bank
of the Passaic River and laid out their domains to the summit of the range
of hills skirting the settlement on the west, they found the region not altogether
an untrodden wilderness. The Red Man had been a dweller there many
generations before them, and had beaten out more than one path from the
river through the forests, over the hills and as far west as the Delaware.
One of these old Indian trails may be traversed by the modern tourist, by
trolley or motor, along Market, Bank and Warren Streets, Newark; Main
and Washington Streets, in the Oranges, and so on over the mountain. This
route brings the visitor to the most important group of Newark's Essex
County suburbs — the Oranges, with their combined population of nearly one
hundred thousand, their magnificent homes, and their varied attractions
urban and rural. The Lackawanna Railroad; the Orange branch of the
Erie, and the Central, Orange, South Orange and Springfield trolley line
give access to various parts of this well-peopled and thriving group known
under the general name of the Oranges, and comprising two cities, a town, a
township and a village.

Nearest of the Oranges to Newark, and separated from it by a municipal
line only is the most populous of the group, the City of East Orange. Here
are a wealth of stately homes, great industries, and many fine public buildings.

250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 161

Notable among the institutions is the beautiful Public Library, the gift of
Andrew Carnegie. Another feature is the home of the Woman's Club of the
Oranges. Passing through the busy and handsome City of Orange, noted
especially for its hat factories, one comes to the Town of West Orange, with
its many sumptuous private estates on the mountainside, some of them
grouped in artistically laid-out parks. At Hutton Park is the Es.sex County
Country Club. Eagle Rock Reservation, described under another head in
The Manual, lies principally in West Orange town.

South Orange Township and the village of the same name present another
array of beautiful residences. The South Mountain Reservation lies largely
in South Orange, with portions in West Orange and Millburn. The latter
township has the Canoe Brook Country Club and a large number of fine
mansions. At South Orange is Seton Hall, a well-known Roman Catholic
college and seminary. Maplewood, another attractive residential mountain
section, completes the chain of Essex County communities along the Morris
and Essex division of the Lackawanna. For the antiquarian and patriot an
interesting point near South Orange is the Timothy Ball house, built in 1743
and a frequent resort of Gen. Washington during the Revolutionary cam-
paigns.

Bloomfield, Montclair and Caldwell

To the northwest of Newark, and reached by a branch of the Lackawanna
Railroad, the Greenwood Lake Division of the Erie, and the Bloomfield trolley
line, is another chain of towns and boroughs with many points of antiquarian
and present-day interest for the visitor. Adjoining the big city is Bloom-
field, one of the most venerable communities in New Jersey; named after a
famous Revolutionary general; with its fine old Presbyterian church on the
Green, and replete with places of historic interest as well as handsome modern
residences. The old Cadmus homestead on Washington Avenue dates from
the latter part of the seventeenth century, and the Father of His Country
according to local tradition, was a guest there. At Bloomfield also are the
Presbyterian Theological Seminary, and the Job Haines Home for the Aged.

Next along the line of the northwestward journey lies the beautiful resi-
dential Borough of Glen Ridge, and then the Town of Montclair, with a
population of more than 25,000, and many superb mansions and landscape
gardens on the slopes and cliffs of the Watchung Mountain, some of them
ranking among the show places of the Metropolitan district. Here is the
Mountainside Hospital; here also is the famed golfing domain of the Upper
Montclair Country Club. Conspicuous among the sights of Upper Montclair
almost at the Passaic County line, the State Normal School looks out from an
elevation of nearly 500 feet over many miles of country side. The stately
building in mission style, with cream stucco walls and red tiled roof, is a
landmark for miles around.

Upper Montclair and Montclair Heights are attained by the Valley Road
trolley, transferring from Bloomfield Avenue, and the visitor leaving the
car where the line ends at the Normal School may walk westward up Normal
Avenue, ascending the mountain through a rock cut, and in a few minutes

find himself facing the Cedar Grove reservoir of the City of Newark, a verita-
ble mountain lake with a superb outlook over the valley in which nestles the
pretty village of Cedar Grove. In that direction also are many charming
rambles through the woods of the Great Notch region, and toward Little
Falls and Singac, in Passaic County.

Clay Industries, Helen Duncan

Continuing along Bloomfield Avenue after passing Montclair, the next place
reached in the Borough of Verona, with an elevation at some points of more
than 650 feet above tidewater. Here are the extensive buildings of the
Essex County Hospital for the Insane, on the slope of Second Mountain
at what is known as Overbrook, and the Newark City Home for Boys. The
trolley line terminates at historic old Caldwell, best known to fame as the

250th Anniversary, Sfewark, New Jersey 163

birthplace of Grover Cleveland. The manse where he was born when his
father, the Rev. Richard F. Cleveland, was pastor of the Caldwel) Presby-
terian Church is in good preservation and open to visitors. Another his-
toric place is the Corey house, on Bloomfield Avenue, built in 1778. The
Essex County Park Commission is laying out Grover Cleveland Park at
Caldwell as a memorial of the distinguished son of that town. At North
Caldwell is the Essex County Penitentiary, near by which is the highest
point in Essex county, 691 feet above tide.

The Caldwell branch of the Erie will take the tourist still further along
to Essex Fells, Roseland and Livingston, the farming and residential sections
of Western Essex, with charming scenery.

Belleville and Nutley

Going north from Newark on the Newark and Patcrson branch of the Erie
or the Paterson trolley line there is no apparent break between the big city and
its northern next-door neighbor, the flourishing town of Belleville, another
point of great historic interest. Here, at Main and Rutgers Streets, is the
oldest Dutch Reformed church in New Jersey, and second oldest in the United
States. There was a place of worship on the same site at least as far back
as 1700, and possibly a decade or so earlier, and it was rebuilt in 1852.
From the belfry of the old church, which in Revolutionary days was a fort-
ress. Captain Speer shot a British officer who was reconnoitering, and the
musket which he used is among the cherished possessions of this fine old
church militant.

The most northerly town of Essex County is Nutley, with many hand-
some homes: a typical commuter community with a somewhat noted colony
of artists and writers. The Essex County Park Commission here is laying
out the picturesque Yanticaw (or Yountakah) Bark, and not far off is the
golf course of the Yountakah Country Club.

Revolutionary Fighting Ground

South of Newark, just over the line in Union County, lies a region which
was fighting ground again and again during the War for Independence, when
it formed a part of the town of Newark. This historic soil comprises Spring-
field, Connecticut Farms, and what is now called Union Centre, and every
American schoolboy knows that the Battle of Springfield, fought on June
23, 1780, was one of the most glorious achievements of the patriot arms.
A memorable incident of that battle was the part played by James Caldwell,
the "Fighting Parson." The Americans ran short of wadding. Pastor
Caldwell ran into the Presbyterian church, gathered the hymn books from the
pews, and distributed them to the soldiers, yelling: "Put Watts into 'em
boys; give 'em Watts!" So well did the "boys" follow their chaplain's
advice that very soon Knyphausen and his Hessians beat a hasty retreat out
of New Jersey. A Hessian detachment earlier in the same year had burned
and pillaged Connecticut Farms and killed many of the peaceful denizens
including the pastor's wife, Mrs. Hannah Ogden Caldwell, who was shot to
death as she held her babe in her arms. The Presbyterian church, founded in
1746, burned by the British in 1780 and rebuilt in 1786, stands on the original

164

site; the Revolutionary burying ground, with a monument to the heroes
of 1780 whose bones rest there, is a shrine for American patriots, and in the
schoolyard they may see the cannon which barked from Tin Kettle Hill and
helped scare off the redcoats.

The only municipality of Essex County remaining to be mentioned is
Irvington, which with its population of iil.OOO has the distinction of being
Newark's fastest growing suburb and may be regarded as virtually a part of
the city rather than an outlying objective for the tourist.

The West Hudson Towns

Contributing 50,000 people to the 700,000 population of Greater Newark,
and participating by invitation in the city's birthday party, are the three
towns on the Hudson County bank of the Passaic River — East Newark, Harri-
son and Kearny. To all intents and purposes, excepting politically. East

Newark and Harrison are a part of Newark and their characteristics are
mainly industrial — thriving workaday communities. The southern part of
Kearny is also a factory region, but the northern part, known as Arlington,
is attractive as a residential section and has several points of interest for the
sightseer. Conspicuous is Kearny Castle, the steepled mansion built by
Major Gen. Philip Kearny shortly before the Civil War, when he abandoned
his ancestral farmhouse on the Newark bank of the river, nearly opposite
where the State Normal School now stands. It was to Kearny Castle that
the body of the great New Jersey soldier was brought after he had been
killed at Chantilly. Near-by is the New Jersey Soldiers' Home, the main
building of which is the old Rutherford mansion. The estate was brought
for this purpose and the home established there in 1888 after having been
situated for 22 years in Newark. At Arlington also are the buildings of the
Catholic Protectory.

THE NEW JERSEY COLLEGE OF CHIROPRACTIC

Incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey as an institution of Learning

122 Roseville Avenue Newark, N. J.

If you are sick and have tried everything else with

no lasting results, try Chiropractic (spinal)

adjustments and get well.

HISTORICAL

The first accidental crude Chiropractic adjustment of a
vertebra was given in September, 1895, by D. D. Palmer, who was
the founder of the first School of Chiropractic. He died October
30th, 1913. The New Jersey College of Chiropractic, 122 Roseville
Avenue, Newark, New Jersey, was founded in 1910 by Dr. F. W.
Collins, and incorporated in 1913 by graduates of D. D. Palmer.
"The New Jersey College is the Mecca of Chiropractic."

WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?

(Ki-ro-prak-tik)
^^HIROPRACTIC is a scientific method of removing the
^^ cause of disease (acute or chronic) without the aid of
drugs, surgery or appliances.

The science of Chiropractic is based upon a correct knowl-
edge of the brain, spine, spinal cord and nerves emanating
therefrom. Pressure on a nerve at the opening where it
leaves the spine, will cause disease in that organ or tissue at
which the nerve ends. The Chiropractor, after locating the
place of the pressure (by vertebral palpation and the tracing
of the tender nerves) adjusts, by hand, the subluxated (dis-
placed) vertebrae which lelieves the pressure and enables
"Nature" to restbre normal conditions — HEALTH.
Edison's Opinion
• "*'The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but
will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in
diet, and in cause and prevention of disease."

In the Days of Robert Treat

The first settlers of Newark would fail
to recognize the "old town" if they could
see it today.

But one of the problems with which
they contended still remains with us —
tlie problem of food.

And the one food upon which they de-
pended is still our mainstay — that
food is bread.

FLEISCHMANN'S YEAST

As a shining example of what merit in the matter of superior quality and
reliability of service and perseverance will accomplish, the Fleischmann Co.
can point with pride to the business they are now doing in connection with
their headquarters in this section located in their beautiful building at 174
William Street, which building is an ornament to that section of the city.

This branch was started about fifty years ago with one employe, Mr.
Solomon DeJonge who, at the beginning, carried his goods around to the
bakers and grocers in a basket.

As the business expanded, more salesmen were added to the list and
additional carts brought into service. These carts were later on replaced with
four-wheeled wagons of larger carrying capacity, and now in order to enable
their salesmen to reach the trade in the quickest time, the more modern
vehicle — the automobile — is used as a conveyance.

The Company now employs eight salesmen in Newark who supply the
trade daily in Newark, Harrison, Kearny, Arlington, Belleville, the Oranges,
Maplewood, Irvington, Califon, Liberty Corners, Middle Valley and Plucka-
min, besides having resident agents in Morristown, Montclair, Plainfield
and Summit who also use automobiles to supply the trade in the territory
tributary to their respective agencies.

Mr. William Brueckmann is the manager of the local branch. He is a
good fellow, very popular with the trade and is always "on the job."
