The owners of property on Broad street
this city, will petition the Board of Chosen
FreeholdeTs at its next meeting to improve
Broad street with macadam or telford, from
its intersection with the Mullica Hill
Turnpike to its intersection with the Gl0u-
cester Turnpike. distance of 1920 feet,
under an act OF the legislature approved
March IS, 1895. The petition will ask that
the in proved road shall cover the space
between the trolley tracks and the gutter
line, three feet from the curb. The law under
which this petition is made, permits i'm
proYement of this character where the
road intersects with two stone roads.
The citizens of Woodbury., through their
Chosen Freeholders, can ask for this inn
to the charge of asking from the county
that to which they are not Justly entitled.
First, Because the petition conforms to
an act of the legislature.
Second, Because larger proportion of the
county will enjoy and receive the benefit
of such improvement than that of any road
yet constructed by authority of the Board
Third, Because the taxpayers Of Wood
bury have and will continue to contribute
largely to county roads which the greater
portion not only do not use, but rarely see.
Fourth, Because it will connect the
broken link in the line of splendid roads
for which Gloucester county is becoming
famous.
