the great Hudson County Boulevard. which is sure

hood Of the city of New-York.
The Boulevard promises TO be highway of
traorinary beauty and will have great influence in
the development OF the fine region through which II
runs. II extends from Bergen Point 10 the Hudson
County line distance Of about fourteen and half
miles and is so constructed that II must become
q most popular driveway and ideal road for bcy-
cling. The plan OF having a road of this kind was
first advocated in 1868. and those who declared for
a grand boulevard at that time had in view the
fac, that Hudson County is made up Of various
inequalities all OF which build streets and roads ac-
coring 10 their own ideas 10 width. style Of
pavement. grading. shading and general construc-
ton They knew that these ideas varied in the diff
fsrent places and that whenever the driver

find change in the road. Thus II with view
10 gaining uniformity that the Boulevard scheme
was advocated. This at a time when the county
had population OF about $4,000.
This plan although it met much favor. set
aside by the courts because the estimated cost
81 600 0oo-was considered higher than the county
could afford TO expend for that purpose. The

Boulevard question remained dormant. despite the
efforts Of all the county, who recognized
the necessity OF such highway, until 1872, when
the question again agtated, but without sue
cess In 1876 and in 1888 attempts were again made
20 carry out the scheme. but the plans were al
ways found TO be defective and after money had
been spsnt plans and specifications the projects
each in turn fell through.
THE ACT FINALLY PASSED.
In 1855 the act under which the road is now being
built passed. The law in question applies 10
any part Of the State of New-Jersey where the
people vote favor Of such a road. The voters OF
Hudson County declared in favor OF The measure,
and In the fall OF 1880 the work OF laying out the
Boulevard was begun The engineer selected WIS
Edow W. Harrison. a member Of the American
Society OF Civil Engineers, and he has had charge
OF the work ever since. 1t is contended BY many
that the provision Of the act which was the first
step toward the building OF the road and by
which the civil engineer was charged with the
tncai!on Of all claims for contracts and by which
he vas made entirely Independent OF the Board OF
Chosen Freeholders was all-important factor
In the progress OF the work. The intention was 10
award contracts 10 those who were the best fitted
10 execute them, regardless OF politics. and po-
ltical pulls were TO go by the board. This was
thought necessary" said a who instru-

that the Boulevard might have been built years
