new ROAD
WORK BEGUN
Contractor Starts New Delaware
Valley Boulevard at Titusville
Concrete for Surface.
IMPORTANT LINK IN HIGHWAY

Work began Monday morning up
on the new Delaware Valley con-
crete road from Washington Cross
ing to the Hunterdon county line,
just below Lambertville. The Util-
ity Construction company, of New
Brunswick, is in charge of the work.
L. j. Esler, who was here looking
up help, says that the clearing of
the right of way and the grading
will be pushed as rapidly as the
weather will permit, and it is hoped
to have their section, which extends
as far north as the quarries near
Moore's station, ready for the con-
crete roadbed early in the summer.
finishing it before cold weather
comes again.
The Newton Paving company, of
Trenton which has the contract for
the upper section, is busy clearing
up the right of way, and building
concrete culverts, preparatory to
filling in over them.
1t will afford an opportunity for
laborers from here, as they can walk
to the first contract. or use the trains
to either Moore's or Titusville on
the second, the schedules permitting
a full days time to be made.
1t is expected that the Hunterdon
County Board of Freeholders will
take up the completion of the small
section from the Montgomery farm
to the Mercer county line early in
the year. When the mile was built
along the foot of Goat Hill it would
have been continued to Mercer
county, but the last few hundred
feet is to be entirely new highway.
and nothing would have been gained
by building it at that time, and it
would have been necessary to have
closed it for traffic, anyway, as it
would have dead-ended in an en-
bankment

PROSPERITY
OUTLOOK FINE
Business Affairs of the CoryelI's
Ferry Community Particularly
Bright For Coming Year.
CHRISTMAS TRADE WAS BIG

| Prosperity for the farmers and the
townspeople of the Coryell's Ferry
Community is apparent for 1916.
With the local industries all running
in good shape, and the demand for
farm products greater than ever be-
fore in the community's history
there's not a cloud of discourage
ment in the sky.
The dozen or so chick hatcheries
of the community have a total in
cubator capacity of about 100000
eggs, or 100000 a week. During
the season, if run at anything like
their capacity they will afford
market for about 100000 eggs,
or 100000 dozens and some besides.
Two of these hatcheries alone, with
in the community, have combined
capacity of 225,000 eggs. and at
the modest figure of three cents per
egg, this would mean that Sc, ESQ
was invested in the eggs Of single
Matching in these two places.
During the season the total con-
sumption of eggs by all these hatch
cries will represent a value of $780,
900 or more to the seller, and this
is from limited territory, for but
few months of the year, and aside
from the tens of thousands of dollars
worth sold direct to consumers and
to the stores.

The Christmas trade season, ended
last Friday night, and was the best
that the general merchandise deal
ers have experienced in some years,
and the increase is attributed en-
tirely to the efforts made to boost
Lar :-tville and the surrounding
country during the past year.
Hundreds of people from the sur
rounding country who had been GO
ing to Doylestown or to Pennington,
transferred their trade to this city,
because, they said, the city appear
ed to feel an interest in them"
The Coryell's Ferry Community
idea has been pushed in the rural
sections for the two years past, to
bind in one common cause the peo-
pie on both sides of the Delaware,
and the Merchants Association,
through its widespread distribution
of candy and the newspaper adver-
Using has awakened an interest that
will be kept alive in the future.
The Lambertville postoffice is
having two Christmas weeks this
year, due to the rush of manufacture
ers' mail being sent out this week,
some $4,000 or $4,000 pieces being
handled within the past few days
Last week more than two hundred
sacks and pouches were handled ir
the Lambertville Office on the biggest
days, and every piece of mail matter
arriving before the time for de
liveries was placed in the hands Of
the addresses that day, and every
piece sent to the office by the towns
people was despatched the same
day.
Postmaster James A. Cleary say
that he is proud of the office ant
carrier force for their most effective
work, under the able supervision o
Chief Clerk Olive Phillips. Each on
made overtime during the entir
week, and by far the largest amour
of mail in the city's history wa
handled.
