NATIONALIZINC
OF YORK ROAD
With Elimination of Tolls on the
Lower End, Big Plans Are
Being Considered.
IT WOULD BOOM THIS SECTION

A number of New Hopers, and
members of the Lambertville Mer-
chants Association will probably
take part in the celebration which
it is hoped to hold in Hatboro, Penn
sylvania, to commemorate the COM
plete freeing of the turnpikes from
toll between New Hope and Phila-
delphia.
No date has as yet been set, but
movement is on foot among the
Pennsylvania people to arrange such
a meeting, and have present, if pos
sible, not only Governor Brumbaugh,
of Pennsylvania, and Governor
Edge, of New Jersey, but men of
national repute as we'll.
1t is hoped to make the York
Road national highway between
Philadelphia and New York, not
only as an adjunct to the Lincoln
Highway, but as a beautiful scenic
route, which will be even more ap-
preciated, of course after the war
ends and tourist travel over the road
reaches large proportions.
In the early days of American
history this route was the main one
between New York and Philadel-
phia, and up to 1882 held the lead,
the old Swift and Sure" stage line
running as many as thirty coaches a
day to accommodate the travel. 1t
was the first postroad between the
two cities, and was used both dur
ing and for many years prior to the
Revolutionary as direct route of
avel.
q 1.-The ferry at this point was open
ed nearly half a century before the
Revolution, and from 1882 for
many years was known as Coryell's
Ferry. The opening of the rail
roads between Philadelphia and
New York, more than a hundred
years later, diverted the through
traffic.
1t is pointed out that the York
road is not only as direct as the
route via Trenton, but can much
more easily be widened for heavy
traffic. In Revolutionary times the
American army was split, on its New
York bound trip, at the Bucking-
ham meeting house, in the western
end of Lahaska, and part of the
forces came to what is now New Hope
and a smaller portion to Center
Bridge, where d ferry also existed
They joined forces again at Larson S
Corner, and engineers say that this
would be one of the ways in which
an enormous traffic could be handled
over the York road.
From Hatboro to Lahaska there
is nothing to prevent great widen
ing of the road at moderate expense
for land damages, and again from
East of Lambertville to point near
Newark a highway of great width
could be constructed without pro-
hibitive expense. A division of traf-
fic at the Delaware river, and at
each end of the route, where there
are already plenty of good roads,
would give capacity eight or ten
times as great as that of the Lincoln
Highway.
1t is the hope of the enthusiasts
to have the national government
take hold of the project and build a
wide highway with brick center, for
heaviest traffic, some prepared ma
terial on each side. and probably a
single track macadam for teams
each side of this. A great part of
the present York road is wide
enough to do this without further
land requirements.

at Shorts laundry, early in the
morning. The large cable running
uptown was burned off, where it
passed the rear of the laundry
building, and two trucks and a force
of men were rushed here from
Trenton early in the morning to
repair the damage. 1t took them
practically all day, owing to the in

connect up the wires in the cables.

FREE LIBRARIES

The opening of the Free Library of New Hope and
Soebury, in New Hope Tuesday, calls attention to the
fact that both Lambervie and New Hope enjoy the
benefits of these worthy institutions without any great
effort upon the part of many people.
W
Libraries are the valuable assets of a town, be-
they not only and entertain but educate and
refine the community WE'LL They take nothing from
but add much to their patrons well being.

Dear Mamma:

most interesting branch of the serv-
ice. At present l have charge of an
observation post. There are five of
US at the post, and we keep watch
over a certain section of "Hunland"
both night and day. Our post is very
well protected and far enough behind
the front line trenches that we fee
perfectly safe. Sometimes Fritz sends
some H. E and shrapnel shells our
way. but we feel that there is very
slight possibility of his hitting our
dugout and even if he did it is not
likely that the dugout would cave in.
1t is vastly interesting to be an OBJ
server, at least | have found it to be
so. Sometimes the bombardments are
very intense, and one will expect to
hear of many casualties, but it is sell
dom anyone gets wounded severely.
We hear many rumors and some of
them sound mighty good. Since Bull

SHIPPERS EASY Prey
Yankee Squirrel Hunters Seldom
Miss Them.
Two Men From Pennsylvania Account
for at Least Forty
Huns.

Paris.-When Yankee troops pushed
into Roncheres, Boche snipers got busy
from windows and other vantage
points. The Yanks proceeded to get
busy with the snipers. Two men who
did most effective work In cleaning out
the Boche snipers were two Pennsyl-
vania squirrel hunters-Privates Har-
ry Meeks and J. G. Titterington. Every
time they glimpsed the smallest por-
tion of a Hun they fired, and they sell
dom missed. 1t is estimated that
these two men accounted for at least
forty Germans.
Just about noon they located three
snipers in the belfry of church just
under the cross.
From this vantage the Boches were
picking off American soldiers.
Meeks and Titterington got on the
job Immediately by climbing to the
roof of nearby dwelling. Meeks
saw the head of Hun for just Sec
ond over the edge of the belfry. The
bullet found it's mark, leaving only
two snipers. The two Yanks then be-
gan fusillade of bullets, and five
minutes later white flag fluttered
from the belfry. Soon the two sur
viving Huns came down on the jump
yelling "kamerad."
A little later party Of Yanks To-
Gated a machine gun in the belfry of
another church. They charged up the
stairway into the belfry and cleaned
out the nest in short order, killing the
Huns.
