improved thoroughfares of Monnt
Holly. Formerly it was cobblestone
affair; now it has fine, smooth sur

town. A composition of tarvia. mixed
with crushed stone, has been laid on
top OF the cobblestones; four inches
thick, and rolled smooth and hard.
The cutters were relaid and the entire
job completed in good style. The
work was done by the township, under
the direction of Supervisor of Roads
Mayer and Overseer of Roads Powell.
