THE NEW AVENUE.

The two cities of Elizabeth and New
ark have lacked direct and available
means of communication for road We
hicles, which we suppose is to be sup
piled by the opening and extension OF
Newark avenue with Frelinghuysen
avenue. This done we shall have a
wide thoroughfare from this city d.
rect to Broad street, Newark, and far
enough away rom the railroad to make
it pleasant and safe, and reducing the
distance about one mile, making it just
four miles from city to city. We are
glad that Messrs. Davidson and Doe,
who have done SO much to improve the
property in the northern section of our
city, favor the laying of the Nicolson
pavement, which they think is just
adapted to the soil and also to the re-
quirements of the great amount of
travel, besides, paved in this way it
would be the most beautiful drive in
the State. We are glad to see the
work progressing. The com pletion of
of this grand boulevard will be one of
the greatest Improvements that has yet
been made, and one which will add to
the beauty, as we'll as the prosperity
of our attractive city.
