CITY HOSPITAL
GETS $500 MORE
Increases Made In County Bud
get by FreehOIderS

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. S1-The
Middlesex County Board of Free
holders met last night and received
and approved the tentative budget
for 1920 with three slight increases.
The Perth Amboy City Hospital will
receive an additional $500, the Mid
dlesex General Hospital $500 and the
County Vocational School $3.50;
$500 of this last item Will go to the
stablishIng of two new night Voca-
tional classes at South Amboy and
$500 for Roosevelt. The balance of
$3.50 will be used for equipment in
the new automobile department in
the vocational school here. Many
boys are specializing in this depart
been secured which have been torn
apart and require O. great deal of
new equipment to carry out the
plans Of, the department.
The organization meeting of the
Board of Freeholders will take place
on New Years morning at ten o'clock
instead of the usual first Monday.
The reason for this Is that a great
amount of business has been brought
about which will necessitate action on
the list.
Two men were present at last
nights meeting asking for increases
lin the budget to make improvements
In the county road. Permanent i'm
,provements can be made only through
the legislative issuance OF bonds and
under the present conditions of the
three per cent. bonds these improve
'ments will be impossible. However,
1T Is thought that the new legislation
will sanction the FIVE per cent. bonds
and the improvements can be made.
Harry Scott of Cranbury applied for
the repair of the end of the Gran
bury road where It meets with the
new county road. Edmund Hayes
brought up before the board repairs
of q mile and half on Plainfield
avenue, a mile and half of the road
from Bonhamtown to Fords anda part
of the Bonhamtown road going toward
Metucken The Raritan Township
pays twenty-five per cent. of the cost
of the repairs and the board the re-
mainder.
There was a letter before the board
last night from the State Highway
Commission containing complaints
that two trenches which had been dug
on George Road on the outskirts of
New Brunswick showed depression
and have not been carefully repair
ed
Another letter OF complaint from
South River stated that new pave
ment which had been opened up by
the Public Service Gas Co. for gas
has not been properly re-
paired. The matter was handed over
to George Applegate who will take
the matter up with the gas company.
Another letter from the Public Ser
vice took up the matter of erecting
additional red lights at the Weston's
Hill Bridge. Two lights are at the
bridge now and twoa more were dis
cussed by the Board.
