COUNTY ROAD REPORT.
Mr.. Usinger presented the report of the
Stone Road committee, as follows:
Woodbury.. N. j., May 8, 1909
10 the Board Of Chosen Ffeeholdets Of Glost-
cestey County,
DEAR SIRs:-Your committee would re-
spectfully report that they viewed all
county roads on April 1e, 90, 81, 1906, and
beg leave to make the following report:
It has been requested of the committee
to place stone street in the village of
Mullica Hill, from the Philadelphia and
Reading r. r. to the top of the hill, dis
tance Of $50 feet. The committee has care
fully gone over the matter in question and
find it wculd cost the county about $500
to complete the same. Your committee
would recommend that the distance as
above stated shall be re-surfaced with the
best gravel the Supervisor can find on the
line of road, and also 500 feet near James
Jessup's farm south of Mullica Hill. The
committee would recommend that Free
holder Thomas Cunningham lay fourteen
12-inch iron pipe near Westville on West
vile and Glassboro stone road, on cross
streets.
Clayton and Williamstown gravel road,
re-surface 600 feet at Fries mill.
Glassboro and Hardingville gravel road,
re-surface from church to Morgan's store.
Cross Keys and Hurffville gravel road,
re-surface about 600 feet near Collins farm,
and 200 feet near Hurffyille.
Franklinyille and Malaga gravel road,
re-surface about 1000 feet
Your committee has found all Of the
gravel roads in better condition this year
than ever before since built. 1t is largely
due to strict attention Of the Supervisor Of
county roads and to the construction of the
same. At the time the gravel roads were
built they were we'll graded and the con-
tinuation Of seraping from cutters to CEN
tire line OF road keeps them in good condi-
ton.
We find the Westville and Glassboro
stone road in a bad condition, fiat and
rutty, and needs a large amount Of crown
ing and filling in ruts. The Crown Point
and WestYille stone roads need TO be i'm
proved in about the same manner, but will |
not cost as much money for the same.
The committee has requested Supervisor |
Stanger to suspend scraping on the West
vile, HurHville, Crown Point and Panls- |
boro stone roads and give bis time with the
material bought for the same to crown |
those roads and if possible to get rid OF all |
ruts
The condition in which we find the two
above stated roads is not the fault of the I
Supervisor or committee. They have done |
their best to overcome the great test that T
comes on these two roads. All of the travel /
and heavy carting centres on them from
every point in South Jersey. Asbury, I
OWeuSSUoiO anu DtluScpOfe SbUH6 tOduS are +
in good condition twelve months in the
year. For the Swedesboro stone road the
committee would recommend that $50 yds. I
of stone be placed on the street from the
post Office going towards the creek as far as
it will crown the street to width OF 16 #.
with proper depth, the balance of the
road in South Swedesboro needs no repairs
this year.
Your committee has ordered stone for the
Westville and Glassboro stone road about
$50 yards.
Westville and Crown Point stone road
$50 yards Of stone and 300 yards of gravel.
The gravel is ordered from South Jersey as
there is no good gravel along said road.
The committee requested Mr.. Stanger to
buy three 90 cars of this gravel for the
Asbury and Swedesboro stone road last
winter and have placed the same on said
road and find it to be frst-class binder.
Asbury and Swedesboro stone road, 400
yards Of stone.
Bridgeport stone road, 400 yards Of stone.
Swedesboro stone road, $50 yards Of stone.
Woodbury., May 9, 1906.
Your committee respectfully ask the
Board to consider well this report as it
carries many important recommendations
