The plan introduced into the aead.

the best current magazines a regular
part OF the senior work In literature
proved so successful that Il has been
extended to other classes also. Our
boys are now receiving each week
through the mail about twelve copies
OF the Literary Digest. over twenty
copies OF the Independent and twenty
copies Of the Pathfinder. Thus more
than fifty copies Of the cream OF the
weekly magazines are being received
and eagerly read by the boys In school.
Once week a class period Is devoted
to the discussion Of the contents OF
these current magazines. The teacher
directs the discussions and aims to
arouse interest. to cultivate proper
habits Of reading and. incidentally. to
develop appreciation Of good litera'

REBUILDING
RIVER ROAD

Work has commenced upon the
improvement of the Delaware river
road from the southerly end of the
Hunterdon county boulevard to the
Mercer county line, and from the
Mercer county line to point near
Moore's station will begin early next
week.
This work is being done in this
county under the auspices of Jona-
than M. Lambert, Harry E. Van
Horn and George w. Massey a
special committe from the Chamber
of Commerce, and the work in
Mercer county will be done by Hope
well township.
Seeing that it would be impossible
to secure the completion of the
present macadam road from Hun
terdon county's boulevard to Wash
ington' Crossing under two or three
years, the local Chamber of Com
merce felt that the present bad
stretch of dirt road kept business
away from here, and decided to re-
pair it by private aid
Robert A. Montgomery, of the
Delaware River Quarry and Con-
struction Company, generously offer
ed the Chamber several hundred
tons of crushed stone, and West
Amwell township offered to clean
the cutters and fix up the surface.
The committee will have the stone
hauled and placed within the next
week or ten days, affording a good
road all the way from this city to
Trenton.
The committee is making a strong
effort to get all the subscriptirn
moneys in this week, so that the
work may be completed without
delay. Those who have not yet
subscribed, but are willing to aid
the good work are requested to send
their money to Frank w. VanHart,
treasurer, at the Amwell National
Bank, Lambertville.

FINE FEAT OF ENGINEERING
burg Bridge Is Believed to Be
Without Precedent.

In reinforcing the Williamsburg
bridge at New York, to strengthen
it for the increasing volume of traf-
fic it is being made to carry, a re-
markable piece of engineering work
was accomplished recently.
This consisted of removing ten
inch bridge pin and substituting for
it a 13-inch pin, feat believed I'M
precedented. An especially built mo-
tor-driven drilling machine was at
tached to the bottom chord Of the
structure with its cutting arbor lined
with the pin. The metal which the
boring bar had to pass through had
a thickness of approximately "a
inches, while the volume of steel to
be bored out amounted to nearly
cubic foot.
The work involved the removal of
the old pin, the enlargement of the
pin bore from 10 to 13 inches, and
the insertion of the larger piece. The
task was made additionally difficult
on account of the necessity of open
ing the bridge to traffic just as quick
ly as possible, and also for the rea-
son that the only connection between
the main and land spans, during the
time the pin was out, was tempo
rary wind chord.-Popular Mechan-
les.
