Upper High Street to be Widened


Through the public spiritedness of 9
number of property owners, upper
High street is to be greatly improved
and what has been dangerous traffic
condition, especially during fair week,
will be remedied.
The township committee recently
notified the owners of the lands on
High street, between Prospect street
and the fair ground, to set curbing and
lay sidewalks. When the contractor
began work at the residence OF county
engineer James Logan, at the corner of
Evergreen street, it was found that the
curb line, as run by the township en-.
gineer, set so far out, that considerable
filling in would be required
the property line and the sidewalk. At
this point the trolley tracks bear to
the side of the road in order to take
the curve before passing over the
bridge, and it was seen that there
would not be space enough n'the road
to allow wagon to pass between the
tracks and the new curbing. This did
not seem to be good arrangement.
The property owners held conference
and agreed that if the township COM
mittee would allow the curb line to be
run further in, they would give several
feet of their land to be added to the
width of the road, thus making drive
way on both sides of the trolley tracks.
The proposition was presented to the
committee at it's meeting on Thursday
night 1t was accepted, and township
engineer Sleeper laid out the new line
the next day. Contracts have been
given for nearly all the sidewalks
and the work of laying them is pro-
ceeding rapidly. 1t is expected that
the lots will be terraced, shade trees
planted, and other steps taken to
beautify the tract
1t is hard to estimate the value of
these Improvements to the appearance
of that part of the town. Over 1000
feet of cement sidewalk will be laid
and the township committee has agreed
to put crossings at Prospect and Ever
green streets, so there will be no break
in the pavsments.
The widening of the road at this
point will be of great benefit to traffic.
When vehicles can move on both sides
of it, trolley track serves as q barrier
to keep travel to the right, and this
is especially necessary during the
vehicular congestion of fair week. It
is probable that the trolley company
will have to remove some of its poles,
as the widening of the road will place
them in the middle of the driveway.
The property owners who have given
land for this purpose are: County en-
gineer James Logan, Henry G. Shinn,
s. Thackara Haines, County Superin-
tendent of Schools Louis J. Kayser,
and Beverley c. Kingdom. Five-foot
cement pavements will be laid by those
above mentioned, and also by Arthur
D. Cross, DR.. r. C. Darlington, and
Benjamin s. Cross, other land owners
in the neighborhood. Mr.. Logan has
had sidewalk laid on the Evergreen
street side of his property.
1t is evident that upper High street
will present very different appear
ance in a few weeks.

Court Affairs.

The day after" the fourth of July
was busy one for Judge Lippincott,
as he had some prisoners to talk to on
the error Of their ways. Charles John
son was the first to receive attention.
He was brought here from Toms River
for stealing clothing from Theodore
Hvers, of Browns Mills. When he
was taken into court on Thursday it
was discovered that his real name was
Charles Jamison and that he had
served time in the state prison, the
Railway reformatory, and the Mercer
county workhouse. With all this record
against him the court decided that the
place for Charles was the state prison,
and he was sent to that institution for
term OF not less than one nor more
than three years.
The next candidate for state prison
was William Glare. William is a young
EngIishman who does not seem to
have entertained the same amount of
respect for the people Of this country
that others of his land do. His offence
was attempting to commit an indecent
assault on little girl eight years old.
He admitted his guilt but tried to
place the blame on the child. That
act aggravated the offence, and the
court sent William to the state prison,
where he will stay not less than IS
months nor more than three years.
For wilful neglect of his family Cor
nelius Radcliffe, of Riverside, was
placed in charge Of the probation Off
Ger. The trouble with this prisoner
was the same that brings many others
to the court, too much drink, so he
was given a good lecture on how to
conduct himself on that line.
William T. Benjamin was arraigned
on the charge of waylaying and rob-
bling Harry Emmons, Of Pemberton.
He was accused Of getting watch and
$18 in cash. He pleaded not guilty for
the present but may change his mind
later. George o. Wilson was charged
with being in the same crime, but he
did not plead on Thursday, evidently
lpreferring to await developments in
the Benjamin part of the case.
Edward Longstreet, who was indict-
ed some time ago for stealing tools
from workmen at Smithville, was
caught on Thursday morning and was
in Jail short time after his capture.
He pleaded not guilty, and Judge Lip
pincott ordered him taken back to the
Jail to await the action of the October
grand jury. This did notsuit Edward,
and he said he would plead guilty
rather than go back to Jail until Octo-
Der, but Judge Lippincott did not see
any reason for this sort of action and
he sent the man back to await action
at the october term.
Jerome Horton was charged with as
sault on his wife. He lives at Beverly.
He pleaded not guilty, and will be
tried on Thursday. His wife has been
on parole and was intoxicated when
she made the complaint. She will
probably go to the state home, and was
] ordered to Jail until proper disposition
! could be made Of her case.

Bridgeboro Bridge BurneS

The wooden portion of the Bridge
boro drawbridge was destroyed by fire
Thursday morning. A man who was
in scow at the Bridgeboro end OF the
bridge making some repairs, saw
smoke about eleven o'clock in the
morning. The drawtender was on duty
but he had not observed anything out
of the way. The alarm was given and
two men ran to the spot with buckets,
but the creek was at low tide and it
was hard work to get sufficient water,
so the Bridgeboro chemical engine was
called, but it was found necessary to
summon help from other towns. Even
this did not avail, however, and in a
short time about 200 feet of the bridge
had burned, some of it falling into the
creek.
How the fire started is mystery.
There were all sorts of rumors, among
them being one that the bridge had
been fired by an incendiary. County
engineer Logan, who was soon on the
spot, will report to the board of free
holders tomorrow that the cause is I'M
known. His theory is that the fire re-
suited from cigar or cigarette thrown
while afire, and lodging in spot that
made ignition possible. The fire start
ed at one Of the pilings under the
bridge. This piling was covered with
a box arrangement into which it is
probable debris of all sorts had been
swept or fallen, making it infiamms-
BILE. Owing to the covering the draw
tenders were not able to see any blaze
and the first smoke came from beneath
the bridge. With men on duty and
working in the creek right below where
the blaze started, all ideas of incen-
diarism are dispelled. The flames ran
up the outside OF the bridge, SO that il
was entirely possible for the fire tC
have smouldered for a long time before
breaking out in such way as to bt
discovered.
The Bridgeboro bridge is very i'm.
