Wiped Out.
STATE THOROUGHFARRS PASS AWAY

An important order has just been is
sued by Judge Alfred E. Mills, of the
Court of Common Pleas, of Morris Coun-
ty, which places the Jersey City Water
Supply Company in possession of all the
roadways running through the new reser-
voir site at Boonton These roads are
among the oldest thoroughfares in this
State, and the fact that all OF. parts of
them will pass into oblivion is a matter
of historic interest.
When the new reservoir is completed,
these roads will be covered with water.
Iu order to gain possession of them Law
yer Edwin +. Smith, of the. law firm of
Bedle, Edwards & Thompson, represent
ing the city, applied to Judge Mills for
an order under the act of 1890, to have
the roads vacated and to substitute
new road instead. This new road, which
has just been built by the water supply
company, runs along the hillside just
outside of the reservoir property.
Judge Mills has signed the order, and
it is now on file in the County Clerks
office at Morristown.
The old roads will be confscated at
once. Some of them are mentioned in
history at the time of the Revolution.
