OFFERS S|TEFOR
BOROUGH HALL
Matter of Hillside Inn Property
Before MetuChen Council
Bp Stan Correspondenf.

By Stat Correspondent. b
METUCHEN, Sept. 10:-Alfred d.
Hyde, exclusive agent for the old
Hillside Inn property on Main street,
appeared before the borough council
Monday night with a proposal to sell
a part of the tract as a site for a
borough hall. While the location is
considered ideal for the purpose and
the proposition was well received by
the borough fathers, the ACCESSIBILITY
of making the purchase at this time
was questioned.
Owing to the heavy expense for
the Amboy avenue pavement and
street repairs and the fact that a
sewer system is contemplated, some
hesitancy has been shown regarding
increasing the bonded debt.
The proposed site Is at the corner
of Main street and Hillside avenue,
right in the heart of the business
section, and can be purchased for
S13,500. The plot has a frontage 125
feet on Zach street.
The owners have signified their
willingness of accepting a lot on
Highland avenue belonging to the
borough and bonds amounting to
seventy-ive per cent. of h purchase
price in part payment.
The matter of making the pur-
chase will be considered by the coun-
ell at their next meeting, Is Mr..
Hyde will make no move to sell the
plot until a definite decision has been
made by the municipal body

MAINTAIN ROAD AFTER BUILT
Improper Methods Have Placed Eco.
nomical Types In Disrepute,
Says Colorado Expert.

Prof. Il. b. House OF the Colorado
Agricultural College IL firm believer
In the Importance Of maintaining a
road after 1t Is built. He supplies the
following, taken from The Engineer
ing News-Rec0rd, and says Of 1t ut Is
so true and hits the nail so squarely
that | quote 1t direct:
1.-THE tendency In road Improvement
Is to select types of roads which re-
qulre very little annual maintenance.
The general feeling among laymep
seems to be that when road surface
requires some annual maintenance to
keep II In good shape, 1t is an expen-
slve type and should be avoided. Yet,
II the interest on investment and the
repairs are taken into consideration,
the cheaper wearing surface may In
many cases prove to be the more sat-
isfactory and economical.
ut Is not uncommon to see roads Of
IL sDOu lNHt Nbllsli uNlNu ihNh,
after they begin to show signs of wear,
to see them neglected entirely or some
method of repair or maintenance i'm
posed which has been found by long
practice to be defective. When we see
mud holes in earth roads filled with
riprap, crushed stone or cinders, II Is
not the engineers fault that an enor-
nous price Is paid for the repair mate
rial; the road engineer knows that
proper drainage, and repairing with
earth from the side Of the road are
the economical methods of malnle-
nance.
sold gravel and macadam roads are
often repaired by filling ruts and tie

Is readily displaced by traffic or

OLD.TlME RULES OF CIVILITy
Undoubtedly Were Taken Seriously In
1875, but Would Seem Somewhat
Elementary Today.

There was published In 1919 curl
Gus book called "The Rules of Civil
ity," and one Of the things impressed
upon the reader is that "belng in dis
course with n man, Ills no less than
ridiculous to pull him by the buttons,
to play with the bandStrings belt or
cloak. or to punch him now and then
I'm the stomach; It's pleasant sight,
anu well worthy of laughter TO see him
that is so punched, fall back, and re-
tire, whilst the rther. insensble of his
absurdty, pursues and presses him In
TO some corner, where he Is at lBt
glad to cry quarter before his comrade
perceIves he is in danger" Further,
the reader Is Informed that "it argues
neglect, and to under.value man, to
sleep when he Is dlscourslng or read
ing: therefore good manners command
II to be forbid; besides, something
there may happen in the act that may
offend, us snoring sweating, gaping or
dribbling."

To Build Concrete Highway.

Macadam road construction having
proved to be inadequate for n traffic OF
more than 1000 tons day, the state
Of New Jersey has undertaken to bulld
n concrete highway for 17h miles be-
tween Metuchen and Railway and be-
tween New Brunswick and Kingston,
that will cost 81 ,157,26 or S66,oOO Il
mile. The new road will be graded to
Il width of 80 feet. This will include
concrete driveway 10 feet wide, tar
macadam shoulder Of three feet on
either side and graded shoulder OF
three feet ON either side outside OF
the tar mncadam. The concrete Will
be unusually heavy, being eight inches
thick at the sldes and l0h inches IN
the center.

cases with concrete. In a number OF
streets and roads recently inspected,
brickswas used to patch concrete sur
faces, and concrete used to patch brick
surfaces.
"When careless methods of this kind
are applied to the maintenance OF
public highways the result Is that
good type of road is made to appear
unsatisfactory and uneconomical, and
road Improvement is discouraged
particularly the cheaper types of i'm
pr0vement, which In most localities are
the best If properly maintained. 1t Is
the utter neglect of maintenance and
the many improper methods of repair
that have nodded public sentiment
against types of roads requiring an
nual maintenance, and have led road
promoters and officials to disregard
many economical types"

TURKEYS ON GENERAL FARMS
These Birds, as a Rule, Are Raised In
Small Flocks Where Range
Is Plentiful.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agricultural
Many turkeys are raised In Texas,
as well as a considerable number In
Mississippi and Alabama and In west
ern Florida. As general proposition
these birds are raised In small flocks
on general farms, where plenty of
range is available. Under such condl-
lions they usually yield profitable
income. Not many ducks are raised
in the South, but considerable interest
is displayed In geese production, while
guineas also are raised on many farms.
Guinea eggs are used on the home
table, as well as being marketed, but
as rule the gulneas are allowed to
run wild and are not produced on any
scale for market purposes.

Keep the house and yard clean.
Give heavier feed Of grain In the

Keep poultry free from lice and the
house free from mites.
Feed grain In straw or other litter
to make the hens scratch for 1t.
Grow green crops IN the poultry
Yards If they are not In permanent

When taking eggs to market they
should be protected from the suns

Uniform products command the best
prices. Pure-bred fowls produce uni

BE sure that growing chicks have
plenty of feed so thas they will make
continuous rapid growth.
If you have had little or no expert
ence in poultry keeping, start IN a
small way. Then increase as your ex'
perience and success warrant.
Don't let ROSTERS run with the hens
after the breeding season Is over. The
hens will lay just as well and the eggs
will be infertile and will keep better,
II the fowls and chicks must be
