improvements that are being made on
the west side of the borough, where
sewers have been laid, graveled streets
laid out and cement sidewalks, curbs
and cutters laid. Contractor Alfred
III. Lupton, of Bridgeton, who was
recently awarded the contract for the
sewers and for the grading and gravel
ing of the streets, has made rapid
progress with the work and under his
personal management this part of
the Improvements have gone forth with
a rapidity and thoroughness that is
highly gratifying to the Mayor and
Council. Mayor Baker took charge of
the covering of the lots with sedge
grass to keep the sand from blowing
away, leveled them off and in addition
to this is sowing rye on all of them,
the collector having received nearly
500 for this work. These various i'm
provements which have been under
way since the close of the summer sea-
son has resulted in considerable build
ing and several houses are in course of
construction now. Mr.. Bidwell owns
several lots in this tract on Pine v
nue. and the character of the improve
ments made caused him to express his
determination of doing some more
building there.
