Pauisboro's Protest.

In our last weeks issue we briefly stated
the fact that Business Mems Association OF
Paulsboro had formulated protest against
the acceptance of the Pausboro and Swedes-
boro stone road. Since that dfte the pro-
test has been made in specific terms, after
receiving the report of the investigating
committee, as follows =
To the Board of Chosen Freeholders of the
County Of Gloucester.
We. the property holders adjoining the
new stone road leading from Paulsboro
to Swedesboro, do hereby enter our protest
against releasing the contractor and his
bondsmen until the specifications are fully
complied with.
The specifications require depth of
stone of eight inches after one years. wear
and no foreign substance shall be used in
construction of said road. Stone and stone
screenings only required. Our reasons for
entering this protest are as follows:
| lst. Because the road at the present
time has only an average depth of about
six inches, and a large portion of that
depth is made up OF sand which is is di-
rect violation of the specifications, which
reads that no foreign substance shall be
used in said construction.
We charge, That there is only about FIVE
inches of stone used, on an average, in the
construction of said road in direct violation
of che specifications which requires that
there shall be eight inches after one years
wear.
| We charge, that in many places there
has not been sufficient fne stone and
screenings to bind the same after being
properly sprinkled and rolled with ten
| ton roller.
| We charge that the road, in many places,
has not been shouldered and rolled by a
ten ton roller seven feet on either side ac-
| cOrding to their specifications
We charge, that in some places on said
road there is only a depth of five inches
/ (foreign substance included) at the present
| time, 10 direct violation of the specifca-
tions, which require eight inches after one
/ years wear.
We further charge, that the engineer and
supervisor appointed by the proper authori-
ties have been direlict in their duties in not
compelling the contractor to build the road
in accordance with the specification, placed
10 their hands by the Chosen Freeholders
of the county of Gloucester.
i Until the above deficiencies are made
good we hold we are not legally bound to
pay our ten per cent. as required by an act
entitled IAN Act 10 Build Stone Roads in
New Jersey
II was moved that the protest as read be
adopted and committee of four be APP
pointed to secure the signatures of the ad.
/ joining property owners the chair to ap.
point the committee.
Before the protest was adopted there was
i a general discussion many cundemninQ
\ the road, others the Board of FreehoIders
others the engineer and supervisor, others
protesting against such condemnation
others intimating that politics had to dc
with the appointment of an incompetent
engineer
4 The protest was finally adopted and
Winfield S. Thompson, w. E Gaunt, Geo
Hall and Daniel Klos were appointed the
committee to secure signature.
