built several years ago between the
Borough OF Penns Grove and the City
Of Salem has become unable to carry
the traffic by reason Of the powder

Of Penns Grove; and
Whereas, This is a very expensive
road to maintain with shells, which is
practically the only material available,

stantly place new shells on this road
N order TO make it passable; and
Whereas, These new shells are very
destructive TO the tires OF automo-
Jiles; and
Whereas, The Board of Freeholders
is endeavoring to escape from the sit
uation caused by this shell road by
building a portion thereof of i'm
proved material each year, the first
part having been constructed of Am
iesite with township and State aid,
and the second part being built by
the County, with State aid; and
Whereas, The township of Lower
Penns Neck has agreed to pay ten
per cent of the cost of the recon
struction of that portion of this road
lying between Lower Canal Bridge
and the Village of Pennsville; and
Whereas, The Board of Chosen
Freeholders has passed a resolution
for a survey for this portion Of this
road; now therefore,
Be it resolved, That the State High
way Commission be requested to ap-
prove the aforesaid consent for sur
vey; and
Be it further resolved, That the

luested to assign to the County of
