for the different parks was going on apace. The relative 

 bearings that one park should have to another, or that any 

 of those determined upon should have to the park system as 

 a whole, was lost sight of, or considered as "wholly sec- 

 ondary." Each park was treated as an entity, as though 

 the plan for a unified system had never been under con-

 sition as exemplified in the East Side Park in Newark, 

 had accentuated the pressure brought to bear upon the com- 

 mission to locate others. 



The suggestions of the court as to local "representation," 

 and the two new commissioners appointed to carry out that 

 principle, had borne fruit, and, before the close of 1895, the 

 sectional policy for the Essex County parks was well estab- 

 lished and became the controlling principle, as it has, sub- 

 ject to minor modifications, since remained.
