ty owners from all sections of the
island were represented at the meet
ing of the Local Board of Public
Improvement held at Borough Hall,
81 George. last night to voice their
approval or disapproval of the petit
tions effecting their particular local
ity. The Strengthening of Amboy
road at three places between Great
Kills and New Dorp and the extern
sion of the Southfeld boulevard at
both of its dead ends to make a con-
tinuous ~thoroughfare from st.
George to T~ottenviIle were the prin-
Cipal matters taken up by the board.
The Amboy road petition was with
drawn after Commissioner Bowe. of
the public works, explained that a
large majority of the taxpayers in
that section were opposed to the inn
provement at this time.
No action was taken on the South
field boulevard matter after it had
been explained that the proposition

the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment for plans, costs and other
centingents to put the th~oroughfare
through. This matter was then laid
over until the March meeting as it

had not as yet been taken over by

but an effort VIII be made to have

make the improvement as far as
Cross avenue and not to the Raritan
bay. as the petition now stands.
