South Amboy, Sept. Although
Councilman-at-Larg Collin Stratton
voted against the resolution, the
South Amboy city council last night
took action that places three thor
oughfares of this city in the hands OF
the Board of Freeholders. One of
these streets, Ridgeway avenue, runs
through the notorious hole-in-the-
wall and the action taken by the
council last night opens way to
bring about the improvement of the
deplorable conditions there. 1t is
thought that the freeholders will now
confer with the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company and adjust the long
standing difficulty.
Mr.. Stratton stated some time ago
he offered a resolution in regard to
Improvement at the hole-inthewall
and taking over the private right of
way through the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company property and as 1t
was still on the table he would like
to see the resolution taken from the
table and acted upon. He believed
the resolution a good one and that
1t would be to the benefit of the city.
He saw no reason why at this time
the resolution should not be acted
upon, and he hoped there was some
gentleman In the council who would
\nsaoye to have 1t taken up. Mr..
SIaver moved it be taken from the
table. The motion was lost as Coun-
cilmen Stanton and Parisen voted
against it.

by Councilmen Stanton and Parisen

over these streets and improving
them, or simply to take them over.

There is very little resemblance be-
tween this eighteenth century publ
cation and the present day newspaper
The texture of the paper itself appears
very rough and unfinished, which j:
natural when the crude paper making
methods in vogue in those days arr
considered. Its color is yellow isl
brown-perhaps somewhat enhanced
by the ravages Of time.
The Typography is hardly decipher
