TO ELIMINATE
MORGAN CURVE
Freeholders Approve Plans
for Strengthening Road.

New Brunswick, Oct 27.-In spe-
eial session yesterday afternoon the
! Board of Freeholders approved the
plans drawn by County Engineer
Fredericks Simons for the straight
ening of the county road at Morgan,
near the Olde Spye Inn, on the road
leading from South Amboy to Key
port. The curve at the end is known
as dead mems curve" and has
been, no doubt, the scene of more
er curve In Middlesex county. A
will .be constructed and the old
curved road closed to the public.
According to the freeholders
plans, the road will connect with the
new overhead bridge, across the
Cheesquake Creek and over the
tracks of the Long Branch and New
Jersey Central railroads. This
bridge VIII replace the one now in
use and the cost OF the same will
be divided In three equal parts, to be
assumed by the county, Central, and
Long Branch railroads.
On Monday afternoon the free
holders Will meet to advertise for
bids for the bridge work Three
plans will be presented to the con-
tractors for figures. Engineer
Simons has drawn plans for swing
bridge, while the Scherzer Rolling
Lift Bridge Company and the
Strauss -Trunnion-B -Baseuie Company
have prepared plans for lift bridges.
The first named lifts in one section.
and the latter In two.

RAILROADS ARE
|MAKINGCHANGE
Third Track Being Laid by
C. R. R. to Sewaren.

Extensive Improvements are under
way along the line Of the Central
and Pennsylvania railroads through
a portion of the northwestern part
of the city to increase passenger and
freight handling facilities. A third
track system is being laid down from
a point just north of the intersection
of the Pennsylvania and Central
lines northward along the Central
line into Sewaren. This Is to give
added freight facilities for the many
factories thereabouts. A series OF
switches will be constructed from
the third track to the factories,
making the whole freight system
by itself. A lever tower will be
erected at a convenient point and
towermen will be on duty to direct
freight trains through the various
switches to and from the factories
This improvement, 1t is claimed
by railrsad officials, will give added
facilities to the passenger service as
the main tracks will at all times be
kept clear.
The Central Railroad OF New Jer-
sey is at present making number Of
other improvements along its road
from Elizabethport towards this city.
It's tracks are being elevated in
places and additional rails are being
laid In others. 1t was declared by a
Central railroad official here today
that the company would In the
course of short time lay third
track along its road thsough this
city for the accommodation of grow
ing traffic in the passenger and
freight lines. The contemplated
abandonment OF the old passenger
station of the Pennsylvania road in
state street would cause additional
traffic over the combined Pennsylya-
MIA and Central line, railroad OFF,
ciaIs state. and for that reason a
third track system will almost be-
come q necessity.

their vehicles and dashed into Nor

drawn. Reporters we're brushed

that for hours the men who hold the
destiny of the billion dollar corpor-
alton In their hand, sat In the midst
OF Morgan's art treasures and dis
cussed the situation. While no Off
cial statement was Forthcoming the
indications are the governments dis

last ditch.
