GOOD Roads"
BODY At WORK
Wants Better High
way TO South RiVer--TO Ap-
pear Before Board Of Free
holders in Demand for Action
1y special Correspondeni.

Bg Special Correspondent.
JAMESBURG, Dec. Men inter-
ested In the building of good roads to
the number Of about two dozen held
a meeting Tuesday night in the School
House at Rhode Hall for the purpose
of starting an agitation for the build
ing of some sort of a road" between
this place and South River. From
the enthusiasm displayed by the fow
men, it was seen hat the men mean
business and that the Board of Free
holders will soon learn just what Is
needed as a large delegation will be
present at the next session Of the board
with full particulars.
But two men were present from
South River, John J.. Smith and Leon
Lesnowski, of the South River Cham
Der Of Commerce.
The meeting was under the auspices
of the Road Committee of the South
Middlesex Farmers Association.
A anv of the meeting developed
many suggestions as to just what
would be the better plan of attack to
secure the money necessary. The meet
ing was a unit for the cooperating
with the South River Chamber of
Commerce and go before the meeting
of the Freeholders and lay the propo-
sition before them. Committees were
named with certain districts laid o.
as follows:
John ]. Smith, from Hall hotel to
South River; Leon Lesnowski, Cham
Der of Commerce, South River; George
Scott, Helmetta Road to Halls Hotel,
Courtney Brown and John Van AIKEN,
from Brown home to Helmetta Road;
Frederick Reid, to Dunham's Corner;
Joseph Pierson, from Reds home to
Dey's Blacksmith shop.
The plan outlined was for this COM
mittee to see every farmer along these
lines and have them meet on a certain
day and go to the F~reeholder5. Other
suggestions were advanced. One that
created laughter was hat to feed
the Freeholders into Inconsistencies"
and they will do most anything for
one who feeds them well. This was
demonstrated two years ago when o
banquet was rendered the Freeholders
and as a result $18, 900 was spent ON
the piece of roadway that the farmers
desired to have completed.
Those who expressed themselves
were: H. c.. Brown, Charles Van Nuts.
Leon L~esnowskl, Fred Reid, Peter
PieTson, George Dock and many
others.
Many of the men were IN favor OF
building OF a gravel road and have a
supervisor attend to the scraping OF
the road regularly. This was consider
ed much better than a Door macadam
roadway.
The road in question connects Cram
| bury with South Rive and many thou
| sands of tons Of farm products are
| carried over this piece of road weekly
| and is q connecting road to the shore
| points.
