reckless as not to watch his every

But, on the advice of Morgan f.
Larson, township engineer for Wood
bridge, the condition Is unavoidable.
Mr.. Larson minimizes the condition
of the road; says it's not so bad If you
run over it slowly. He says that the
sewer pipe was laid in answer to the
petition of the residents of that sec
ton of the township. 1t was laid in
the centre of New Brunswick avenue
because hat was the only feasible
place to lay it; the fact that the troll
ley ran on the one side of the excava-
ton necessitated the slowing of the
excavated dirt on the outside and
centre OF the roadway. The c~ontrac-
tor, in some places, found that he lac
to go twenty feet deep to lay n pipe;
lthen his men struck huge powders
which had not been counted upon
but which had to be removed; when
the excavations were rehlled the con-
dition of the roadway was necessarily
bad where the ditch had been dug,
but as time went on this became bet
ter and where holes appeared they
were filled in; no move was made to
place the roadway back in the condt-
ton IL had been in prior to the work
as weather conditions held the con-
tractor back. He did not start the
repaving of the road as he felt that
just about when he a machinery
and mixtures ready to do the work

A start must be made somewhere TO
put that section on q footing where
It can stand without webbing back
into the class of a development, an
uncertainty. The section Is a fixture
and before long will not be denied.
The residents there will soon be able
to demand what they want and when
they demand it. get tor know the
reason why. There is no objection,
there could be no logical objection to
the construction of q suitable sewer
to take care of that section, but the
present condition leaves the secIOn
