What is the matter with our
board Of Freeholders2 First they
we're in favor Of McAdam roads at
any price, then they passed a reso-
luton not to pay more than SO, 500
per mile, then voted to rescind that
resolution and failed and am
afraid the era of good roads has
come TO a full stop.
Our board Of education met on
saturday evening to hire a teacher
for the Layton school. A Mr..
Rosenkrans Of Newton was engaged
to teach the school until February
next.
A Montague party was arrested
for assault and battery Sunday and
the constable had a picnic of it in
getting his man before the Justice.
Rum is poor ingredient in law and
that constable may get into trouble
next time The offender was sent
to Newton with a Sandyston con-
stable.
Sd Adams and family who have
been staying at Alsacia farm for the
past week, returned to their Bloom
field home Sunday.
Selling cider at five cents a glass
is not bad paying Investment, but
may it not get some one into trou-
be The idea of buying it and
retailing 1t by the glass, causing
Sunday as we'll as weekday drunk
eness does not look to be strictly
lawful.
"Dingmans Ferry" must not
think that 'sandyston" and H. /.
will get into a quarrel. Oh, no,
since we ave the iolliest of friends
and only jolly each other just for
fun Quarrel, no sir Dingmans is
exactly right about the "only feet
footed' in Milford for they occasio-
nally pick up some deliriously
happy Jerseymen and their town
treasury is enriched thereby--and
that is not done as often as it should
be
Miss Edith Reason Of Stroudsburg
is spending few days visiting
friends in Sandyston.
Work is progressing on the new
road the rock crushing machine is
being put up and the two bridges
are we'll under way, but 1 guess the
freeholders have put their veto on
having any more McAdam roads, at
least for the present, as they reject
cd all bids at their last meeting.
What is the cause?
win Raser, a former Sandyston
boy and his amiable wife of Belvi-
dere, N, J ., are spending few days
friends and relatives in this
town. Will brought his gramaphone
with him and gave the boys a treat
in the musical line Monday evening.
you Will.
The bridges building on the new
road are being rushed right through
and it is hoped the road will be
rushed in like manner. The con-
lition Of the old road is very bad,
but all are wishing the time was
here for driving the new road.
The town clerk of Vantage town
ship has issued a notice to the road
overseers in that town to remove all
loose stone from the roads and to
cut and remove all brush from the
sides of their districts of road. Our
clerk should issue a similar order
for in some districts the bru sh and
Stone are very much IN evidence.
The law requires that loose stone be
removed monthly, but it is ignored
in this town.
If all attend tho Newton oenten-
aial that are talking of going,
Newton will see its biggest crowd in
It's history Would it not be a good
idea to print the address of 1853
along with that of 1903 in pamphlet
form, for l am sure it would have a
big sale.
