.KEYPORT Gas G0A
WANT INCREASE
Rate Question Before Board d
Utilities Oct. 9

By Specidi Correspondent.
kEYPORT. Sept. 29.=The petition
by the Standard Gas company TO raise
the rate of the gas here from S1.45 to
Sl.S5 per one thousand feet will come
before the Board of Public Utilities in
Trenton October . when 1t Is expect
ed that several interested consumers
will be on and to listen to the pro-
ceedings.
During the past summer the service
here has been to such an extent tina
many were absolutely IN
able to cook meals, particularly on
Sundays and holidays. Although there
were several reasons advanced as to
the reason of the inefficient service, IT
was generally thought that Keans-
burg vas being supplied and the guam
tity of gas being not adequate for all
the towns. the local consumers were
the sufferers. 1t was not uncommon
for many housewives of the borough
to be unable to cook meals and in.
many instances the gas would go COM
pletely out and the food in course OF
cooking being ruined as the result
The fact that the company is now
DESTROYS of raising the rate is meet
ing with much opposition. The con-
sumner already pays a service charge
Of twenty-five cents per month all
though during the summer months
the consumers here wondered where
the service was. Even so there is not
SO much opposition to the price ask
ed as to the poor service. Undoubted-l
ly the consumers of the borough will
gladly pay the increase provided that
the gas service is as 1T should be.
Councilman H. 8. Cooley and bor-
ough clerk M. Lester Terry attended
the recent hearing and will undoubt-
eddy attend the hearing on October D.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 30
Good roads of a permanent nature
are advocated by me whenever the
finances Of our road appropriations
permit, n / shall certainly be glad
when the time arrives that the Mid
dlesex county Board of FreehoIders
can plan to pave the counties share
of the main arteries of travel, south
of the Amboys bridge" aid Free.
EVENING NEWS reporter, in dis
cussing h editorial regarding poor
road conditions published in the
NEWS last week.
Mr.. Haight further said, THAT un-
til the location of the proposed new
bridge over the Raritan was settled,
n the State Highway Commission's
plans were put in concrete form, the
county governing body would be UNI
able to decide what they can do"
Mr.. Haight also said that the High
way Commission is likewise held up
| with the deciding of their problems,
until the city of South Amboy and
Pennsylvania Railroad Company
| reach an agreement regarding the
elimination of the Hole in the Wall at
Mechanicsville.
Should the agreement be reached
regarding closing the hole the RAILROAD
company will probably erect a bridge
to care for the traffic now using the
] Hole.
If the above point is settled the
railroad company has signifed its In
tentions of deciding the Pennsylvania
It off, as the road is called, to the
state.
With a new bridge connecting the
Amboys, a new road by the state
would then be built connecting the
bridge with Main street, South AM
boy via. the cutoff. The county
would then plan to pave from the
state Dad to the new bridge over the
Pennsylvania tracks several hundred
feet south of the Hole in the Wall
When the time arrives that the
Highway Commission may proceed
with this work .~Bordentown avenue
from Stevens avenue, to Pine ave
nue., and the latter thoroughfare to
the brick pavement on the South Am
boy-Keyport road will also be paved.
Bids for paving Dead Mans
Curve in front of the Morgan Gem
erel Ordnance Depot, are to be re-
ceived by the freeholders al their
meeting nex Thursday afternoon.
The only thing holding up this
great improvement at this time be-
ing an agreement between the city of
South Amboy and the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company.
