every one in the borough is asking
why the county Board of Freehold
ers have not Strengthened the road
known as East View Hill as it is
claimed they voted to do early in

directly on the drawbridge over the
Shrewsbury river, is considered very
dangerous on account of the curves
that obstruct a good view ahead.
1t Is estimated that about 1,500
automobiles travel daily up and
down this hill Hand that a-seriaHs &c

ter in hopes they may take the mat
ter up with the Board Of Free
