MRS. KATHARINE BADEAU.
Long Branch, May (speciaD. the Immediate
having of Broadway, Long Branch is strongly opposed
Is beyond question I'm spite of the statements made
by the members of the Board of Trade. Broadway Is
the main business street Of the town. 1t would take
te contractors several months TO pave with stone
n, asphaltum The street would be torn up the en-
fire season and the summer cottagers would be un-
able TO drive up to the stores at which they wanted
IN trade There is no question but that Broad
,rny should be paved IL is hub deep In mud every
winter No one owning property on 1t wants IL
naved AT once excepting few wirepullers who arc
evidently favoing the project for political rcasohS'
The project will be bitterly opposed, when the proper
time comes In the courts The law under which IL
IL proposed TO pave Broadway provides that onchai
NJ the cost shall be paid by those who own property
ON that thoroughfare, and that the other halt sha
be paid out OF the rum and beer license fees now
received by the town. In the early part OF the year
The Tribune mentioned the fact that Long Branch was
free from floating debt and judgments for the first time
I'm some wears IL would be heavily in debt to-day IL
the law had not been changed as to give 1t the
fees from liquor licenses, which previously went 10
the county. II these license fees are taken for the
paving of Broadway the town will be bankrupt anu a'
the mercy of It's creditors inside Of three years uSs
the taxes are heavily increased The rceipUS HUN
license fees are from $4,000 10 $4,000 year, ana
~ taken for the proposed pavement, the town could
not help being crippled financially. There are about
seventy miles OF roadway In Long Branch. Broadway
s considerably less than two miles long. Ihe summon
co,aeers who pay most OF the taxes, will have some
thing to say If Broadway is going to be paved al
their expense While the Jerseymen are talking about
tho nroposed new pavement the is still battering
away ot the foot OF the bluff OF Oceanave and that
grand driveway promises soon to be mere cowpath.
