GOSSIP ABOUT
REAL ESTATE
Suburban Property Being In
proved. TO Build Highway.

Surveying has been started for q
sixty boulevard to extend
from Lafayette avenue In Raritan
township to Fords avenue In Wood
bridge township, q distance Of about
a mile. 1t 10 said the highway will
be made OF macadam. The boule-
ward will skirt the Middlesex Water
Works property and run over Bloom
field hill. Its completion will form
an outlet for numerous estates and
owners Of undeveloped property
along its route, and probably cause
building boom in that vicinity,
which now is almost totally unde-
veloped.
Tracts, it Is said, will be sold to
real estate dealers, who will in turn
sell acres and lots to prospective
builders. Property owners have
promised to give the land necessary
for the building of the highway, for
the completion OF which it may take
year or more. 1t is believed that
real estate dealers of Perth Amboy
will buy tracts along this route and
operate them with their headquar-
ters here.
City transactions have not been
numerous this week. Among those
were the following reported closed
by D. A. Shirley: Two-story frame
house at SO Broad street. owned by
George II. Ryder and transferred to
