ROOSEVELT STIRRED OVER
WOODBRIDGE AVE. MATTER
Request of Wheeler Concern Backed
by Government Means Loss Of
Main Thoroughfare.
BIZ Special ~Correspondenf.

ROOSEVELT, July e-The applica-
ton of the Wheeler Condenser & En-
cheering Company requesting that
Woodbridge avenue from Third street
to Washington avenue be closed for
the duration of the war, has been the
subject of much comment here since
the application was filed July I, with
the borough council.
The company asserts that IL the
road was closed it would enable them
to increase their production of war
material.
The company declares they have
made this request for the closing of
of government officials. They will
guarantee not to use the road for
manufacturing purposes inc return
the road to the public use ninety
days after the war is over.
Woodbridge avenue is the best road
in the borough. 1t was turned over to
the County Board of Freeholders in
1914. The expense of paving and inn
proving the road was borne jointly by
the county with fifty per cent, the state
with forty per cent and borough with
ten per cent.
Woodbridge venue Is one of the
oldest thoroughfares in the country
During colonial days and years later 1t
was the post road between New York
and Philadelphia The historic at
tachment to the avenue is little known
by the people here. The majority be-
ing either foreign born or descent.
The principal obstacle that will pre-
sent itself and which must be over-
come before the authorities will
sanction the closing of this road Is the
contractors now improving the road to
Railway are handicapped in their
work owing to the embargo on the
material needed. The government
therefore can reciprocate and see that
the material Is delivered to the o.
tractor thus enabling him to COM
plete his work before the bad weather
sets in.
If the road from Washington ave.
nue. and Railway avenue was com-
pleted there would be very little OBJ
jections to the temporary closing of
Woodbridge, as the road to Railway
makes direct connections with the
Lincoln Highway.
The question of the closing of the
road is now under consideration by
the council.

Methods Improved So
Rapidly That Largest

LONDON, July $50 successful
has been the work of the admiralty
salvaging department that hopes are
now being raised that some of the
larger vessels torpedoed by the Ger

1t is not too much to hope that
the Lusitania may some day be raised
being improved and the efficiency of
the department is being increased.
From January, 1915, to January.
1918, the admiralty recovered 260
merchant ships sunk by the Germans
in British waters. This year, up to
the list of June. lat ships nave been
salvaged, or more than half the num-
Der recovered last year.
h increase Is not due to the
greater activity of U-boats, but to
more efficient salvage methods.
Men are Heroic
The salvage workers are doing as
heroic work as sailors in q sea battle
or the men at the front. Many times
their lives are in peril. One salvage
vessel was torpedoed while at work
on a wreck. Gases formed by rotting
sci have killed the workmen.
In many cases work which has
taken days to perform is swept away
by a heavy sea.
One of the most brilliant achieve
ments Of the department was the
raising of a collier partly filled with
coal. on top of which raj another
sunken vessel which forced the col

200 Ships Salpaged Last Year

was repaired and restored to service.
At present no ship can be raised
from a depth exceeding 100 feet, az
at this depth the pneumatic tools
used for cutting and drilling the
ships side refuse to work. But with
English and American ingenuity
striving constantly for improved
methods. 1t may some day be possible
to ships sunk In deeper
water.
AS an example of how a ship can
be repaired no matter how badly
damaged. the admiralty cites a large
oil tank steamer. which with a cargo
of benzine, struck a mine and caught
fire.
Salvage vessels rushing to the res
cue fired forty shells into the YES
sells hull to sink her and e~xtinguish
the flames. An explosion took place
before she sank. But despite all this
damage the ship was successfully
raised a~nd~repaired.
