arrangement Of terms. both as to work

factory.
Gen. Goethals came from New York
at the request of the Governor and spent
about half an hour discussing In a gen.
eral way the engineering problems
which may be undertaken in the State
during the next few years. These will
include not only the expenditure of
$l5,000.000 In a state highway system,
together with such available sums for
road purposes as may be derived from
receipts of the motor vehicle department.
but may also include the construction of
bridges or tunnels across the Hudson
and Delaware rivers at New York and
Philadelphia. Ii Is estimated that New
Jersey may expend approximately $780,
100000 within few years in engineer
ing work. success OF which may depend
largely upon the character of the men
in charge.
The tentative plan outlined TO Gen.
Goethals was that he should accept a
position as State Highway Engineer AT
a salary TO be agreed upon. and in the
event of the bridge or tunnel projects be-
coming a reality that he should serve as
consulting engineer.
