THE BOULEVARD ROUTE.


what Line the New County Drive VIII
BE Most Apt to Follow
The members Of the Board of Free
holders and Chief Engineer Edlow w.
Harrison went over portion OF the ter
ritory which has been surveyed for the
new boulevard today and will examine
the balance during the week Chief En-
gineer Harrison has made three surveys
from the XIII Won Kull to Fort Lee, and
the portion OF these routes lying between
Newark avenue and the Kill Won Kull
were examined today.
OF the three plans proposed, the one
which is apparently the most favorably
received is the survey that, beginning at
the Kill Won kull, runs up Avenue b
to Bay View Park and then continues up
Avenue B to the canal, where it runs into
Bergen avenue. This thoroughfare will
be followed to the Carteret Park, and
passing through it will branch off about
six hundred and fifty feet and run along
the westerly route of the Hill to the Penn
sylvania Railroad cut, which will be
bridged with an iron structure.
After crossing the cut the boulevard
will connect with Nelson avenue and fol-
low it to a point above the Monastery
aud will then go eastward to Highwood
Park and from there north to Bergen
county.
1t is claimed for this route that it will
be the cheapest, Tor less ground will have
TO be condemned. A strip OF land only
about twenty feet wide will have to be
taken along Avenue B. and along Bergen
avenue that thoroughfare will have to be
widened but fcrty feet, and this is all in
the Sixth District. Condemnation pro-
ceedings will be more expensive through
the Fifth district than anywhere else.
In order TO make the boulevard connect
