MADE
ON ASSESSMENTS
HEARD TONIGHT

Protest made by S. Fugel and
twenty-five other property owners
against the assessments levied for
top surfacing the section of Smith
street between the Central railroad
tracks and a point about 100 feet
north of Davidson avenue is sched-
uled to be taken up by the Board of
Aldermen at their committee meeting
tonight. The demonstrators had a
communication before the aldermen
at their meeting Monday night in
which they held that the assessments
made 1909 for new asphalt block
surface were much too high. In
view of the fact that the subject had
not previously been handled by the
present board it was referred to a
committee of the whole.
Some disposition of the complaint
must be made at the regular meeting
of the council Monday night. At that
time an amendment to an ordinance,
whereby property owners will receive
due notice of proposed street i'm
provements, will probably be finally
passed.

Aldermen Take
Steps to Extend
Jefferson St.

Efforts are under way to have
Jefferson street opened and extend
ed between New Brunswick avenue
and State street. A petition has
been circulated. 1t has BEEN liber-
ally signed by property owners in
the vicinity of the proposed imprc We
ment and 1t will probably be pre-
sented to the Board of Aldermen at
their committee meeting tonight.
Mem bers of the council are said to
be interested in the project and they
may take steps at their regular meet
ing Monday night to have the prop
osition investigated with regard to
feasibility and cost.
One alderman estimates that the
city might have to spend many thou
sands OF dollars to make the pro-
posed extension. Property involved
includes that of j. Phi. Goldsmith
and the Hartung estate on the west
erly side of State street, and the
former E. T. Sweet property on the
easterly side of New Brunswick
avenue.
The proposition of making the ex-
tension is one which has come up at
intervals during the past several
years. City officials, property own
ers and real estate dealers have often
claimed that the extension should be
made, claiming that the endings of
Jefferson street at New Brunswick
avenue and at State street were both
dangerous for traffic and a nuisance
1t has been claimed that the city
would benefit largely, by improve
ment in It's business center II the
thoroughfare in question was cut
through. More prominent corners
for business purposes would be add
ed, it Is pointed out and traffic
would have a straight run through
the block. lessening the heavy traffic
which now occurs at the intersection
Of Smith street, State street and New
Brunswick avenue. Because of the
absence Of cut through the trian-
gular block bounded by State street,
Fayette street and New Brunswick
avenue, persons going between New
Brunswick avenue and State street,
must use either Fayette street or 20
around the corner at State street and
New Brunswick avenue.
