matter is To be decided by a primary
election to be held in Trenton at such

WORK BEGUN On SECTION TWO.
Property Owners object to the Proposed
Surface Drain Pipes.

Property Owners Object to the Proposed
Surface Drain Pipes.
Work was begun yesterday on Section
No. 2 oil the New County Road. The road
is now graded from Bergen Point to the
Morris Canal, distance Of three and one
half miles. Yesterday a gang of
men began to lay the sewer
which will run under the road.
The sewer will drain only the surface
water accommodating on the road, and no
one will be allowed to build branch
sewers. The sewer will be of 24-inch clay
pine, The outlet will be through Pam
rapo Avenue to the Newark Bay.
There is no sewer in Pamrapo
Avenue, aud the property owners on
that tuoroughfare are already beginning
to kick. They say that the refuse mat
ter from the road would be decided
nuisance IL it runs to the Bay through
the bitches on that thoroughfare. Mr..
Mulcahy, who owns considerable property
on Pamrapo avenue In speaking to a re-
porter OF THE JERSEY CITY NEWS yes
terday said:-"The sewage matter from
the road would cause pestilence IL 1T Is
allowed to run through the dltches on this
thoroughfare. We have no sewer here,
nor is it likely that we will get one for
many years. | think that tae County
Road Commissioners should build sewer
through the thornugnfare and not en-
danger the health of the residents by
allowing the sewage to run through open
ditches.n y
Other residents are also complaining.
and il is likely that the Street and Water
Board Will be appealed to.
The work of grading the road will be
gin next week. Nearly all the houses on
the east side of the tnoroughfare. from
the Morris Canal to Warner avenue, will
have to be raised.
