LINK IN OCEAN BOULEVARD
ASSURED BY NEW HIGHWAY.
Strip from Lakewood to Dover
TO Be Built.

TRENTON, Feb. 26.-Another link in
h proposed ocean boulevard is prac-
tIcally assured State Road Commits
sioner Gilkyson by the Board of Free
holders of Ocean County in a PROPOSE
ton to build an eight and one-half
mile strip from Lakewood to Dover,
Ocean County.
The road was built by the townships
of that section about ten years ago,
and was at the time considered one of
the best gravel roads in the United
States. but since the popularity Of the
automobile in that section it has been
greatly worn and the cos of MAIN
tanning 1t was too burdensome on the
townships and they turned 1t over to
the county.
When completed this road will be a
part of the through line between New
York and Atlantic City. The cost of
building the road will be taken from
Ocean County's portion of moneys re-
cejved in the motor vehicle department.
When this and another small portion
of a road in that section is completed
that section of the proposed boulevard
will be ready to, connect with the great
highway along the coast to be con-
structed.

and struck her. She ~ knocked
down and rendered unconscious, and

elected to learn the name of the woman
in whose home she found herself.
