STATE GIVES
MORE MONEY
Monmouth Co. to Get $1,000
Additional for Roads.

Freehold, Aug. 1:-State Road
Commissioner has agreed to give
the Monmouth county freeholders
$1,000 additional out of the automo-
bile fund provided that $1,000 is
spent on the improvement of Ocean
avenue through Long Branch, which
Col. Stevens says will be taken over
by the state as a part of the Ocean
boulevard next year. The money
will be expended through the free
holders and be cited Is an example
of how the complaining shore dis
trict might receive more return
from the county in money spent on
street improvement if the principal
highways of the shore towns and
cities were in control of the county
or state.
Last year Col. Stevens agreed to
increase Monmouth county's appor-
tlonment from the state automobile
fund by $1,000, making it $4,000.
The $1,000 was received but the
commissioner wanted it charged to
this years apportionment of $780,
900. To this the freeholders object
ed and they arranged a meeting be-
tween the Long Branch commission
ers and Col. Stevens. The freehold
ers attended this session. Long
Branch was represented by Mayor
Newcomb and Commissioners Frank
Howard and Marshall Woolley.
The ocean road through Long
Branch has deteriorated sadly. The
f%reeholders and the city commission
ers agreed that something must be
done to keep it is passable form.
The commissioners were agreeable
that it should come under the con-
troll of the state, and on that under
standing Col. Stevens agreed to
make the county's automobile ap-
preparation for 1912 $4,000 when
otherwise it would have been but
$4,000,
About $1,000 of the automobile

BARN AND AUTO
WERE BURNED
Disastrous Blaze on the
Road Near CIihWoOd.
Special 10 the EVENING NEWS.

Keyport, Aug. IA mysterious
fire destroyed the large barn with
all it's contents, including a large
French touring automobile, valued
at about $4,000, which was being
kept in the barn by it's n The
destroyed barn belonged to Ludwick
Wagon, of JamesDurg, and was stu
ated at Cliffwood along the road
which extends from the Dobson Cliff
House to the shore. The barn vas
on the property formerly occupied
by it's owners, Mr.. and Mrs. George
Birch, of Kearney street, Keyport,
who some time age sold the property
and adjoining farm to Mr.. Wagon.
The residence on the farm is oc-
cupied at the present time by Prof.
Maloney and family, of New York
City, who are spending the summer
there.
The automobile destroyed was the
property of Captain A. j. Roser, of
Mt. Kisco, N. Y, and who with his
family and some friends are spend
ing a week or two camping on the
overlooking the bay a short
distance from where the Inflated
structure stood. In order to have
his machine convenient Captain
Roser had obtained permission to
use the barn for his garage.
The alarm was given presumably
by the barking of the dogs about the
place about 2 o'clock yesterday
morning, but before help arrived the
barn was a mass of flames and doom
ed to destruction.
A preat deal Of aycitament was
caused about Keyport due to the
reflection in the sky, but no alarm
was sounded and the wooden struc-
ture gradually burned itself out.
Absolutely no for the fire
can be found by those present. The
only clue is from what some young
men remarked that when they first
arrived the south side was burning
briskly and the odor of kerosene was
very apparent. AS there was no fire
of any description on the inside il
is thought that the work was that OF
an incendiary.
AS the barn was being destroyed
the strenuous efforts of those frs
on the ground were directed to saw
ing the surrounding buildings, which
was accomplished.
In the barn besides the automo.
cement in bags belonging to Mr.
Boyd, who has a bungalow a sher'
distance down the road. This also
was destroyed. The barn is partial
ly covered by insurance, but whether
the automobile was insured or MOI
could not be ascertained.
