FREEHOLOERS E'ayE
JOINT MEETING
Meet With Somerset Body Con-
Cerning the Franklin
Park Road.
By Special Correspondent.

By Special Correspondent.
New Brunswick, July 24:-Unless
the Somerset County Board of Free
holders are persuaded to change
their views the Franklin Park road,
between Kingston and New Bruins
wick, which is in wretched condi-
ton, will not undergo any repairs,
this year at least. The Middlesex
county fathers met with the free
holders Of the neighboring county
yesterday afternoon and made sever
al overtures to them but without re-
suits.
This road is controlled Jointly by
the respective counties. 1t was re-
paired some time ago, but the heavy
auto traffic over this stretch has
again torn it to pieces. The State
Road Department has asked that
Temporary repairs be made to the road
and complying with the wishes of
freholders are ready to pay fifty per
cent. of the cost for the repairing of
the road
The Somerset county freeholders
have taken an opposite view to that
of the Middlesex freeholders and are
of the opinion that no large sum of
money should be expended for re-
pairs They further pointed out yes
terday that the two counties have
spent a considerable sum of money
in repairing this road and that at
present the Somerset county end of
the road is in much better condition
than the Middlesex end.
After considerable squabbling
Freeholder Ely fathered a motion for
the repairing of the road with the
expense to be Jointly burdened by the
respective counties. This motion was
lost by a vote of 10 to 8, the Somer-
set county board being in the ma
jority.
Director Remsen, Of the Somerset
county freeholders, hoping to COM
promise. offered a resolution for the
repairing of the road at a cost of
$4,000, six thousand dollars to be
spent on either end of the road, Th1s
resolution met with objections. The
| Middlesex freeholders declared that
| the Somerset county end of the road
| is not in need of repairs to that ex-
| tent.
1t was pointed out that this end of
| the road is in wretched condition be-
cause of the fact that the road was
| constructed practically sixteen years
ago. while the Somerset end was laid
| about four years ago. Director Geb-
hardt declared that Somerset county
Is as much to blame for this end of
the road as the Middlesex county
| board.
Road Commissioner Louis Read
attended the meeting and offered sew
eral suggestions, hoping to see the
boards reach an amicable settlement
| but was unsuccessful. He declared
that Middlesex county's share of the
expense for putting the road in pro
per shape would be approximately
$4,000. He did not favor the plan
of the Somerset county freeholder'
to make repairs at an expense OF
$4,000 to each county.
After arguing for three hours the
meeting was adjourned with ne
agreement being reached. 1t wal
stated, however. that another meet
ing will be held within the course o

George Beban, the famous charac-
ter actor, will be seen at the Ditmas

brated italian charaoteriZations, THE
Marcellini Millions" produced by

that he live up to them. Many
strange and wonderful things happen
to them as the owners OF Marcellini
Hall. Finally he can stand 1t no
longer, and, when his wife sues for di-
vorce, Guido returns to his little farm.
When the wife hears that she Is not
the rightful possessor of the Marcel
lini estates, she is only too glad to go
back to her old life where they were
so perfectly happy and contented.
One of the most beautiful and elab-
crate sets ever made for n photodra-
matte production Is the living room,
dining room, hall and upstairs rooms
Of the Marcellini home. The entire
stage was occupied for two weeks by
| this set and 1t was constructed like a
