]. v. HERBERT
DEFINES WORK
Answers Governor Who Gust
State Highway Board, in
statement Issued Today.
By Special Correspondent.


HELMETTA, July Q. - John w.
Herbert, ex-chairman of the New
Jersey State Highway Commission.
to-day issued a statement concerning
the sensational removal Aof the COM
missioners by Governor Edwards,
who charged them with failure ito
successfully rehabilitate our road
system.
The report in part refutes The
governors charge that contrary to
advice the commissioners assumed
control of the entir7 state highway
system, by stating that such a move
was absolutely necessary in order to
insure complete maintenance of the
system before as we'll as after the
reconstruction of any route. This
Is particularly true when it is realized
that the governor gave the commits
sion five years In which to rehabil-
itate the system, which he complains
is not now completed. The reason
Is therefore inescapable that the
governors reasons for removing the
commissioners from office was little
short of "camoufiage."
The commission found that the
distribution of motor vehicle money
as state aid in the maintenance of
mostly designed for routes of the
State Highway System still under
county control. Sound business
procedure therefore dictated that a
centralized control of all the routes
by May 15 would achieve better re-
suits at less cost than would the
demoralized control of the. counties
and other subordinate jurisdictions.
Many of these routes taken over
were in q greatly damaged condition
and many of them would have to
be entirely rebuilt. but the fact is
unacceptable that some one must re-
build them and that the state must
stand the expense. The commission
has maintained land always will
maintain that in the long run the
state alone can do this work cheap
er and better.
Mr.. Herbert has noted the COVER
nor's statement in preference of q
small paid commission constantly at
work. and accounts for the refusal of
the present legislature to uphold
such change by stating that public
opinion is convinced of the loyal,
efficient and honest service which
the old commission rendered.
The report believes that the public
win soon be aware of the real rea-
son for the governors dismissal of
public servants whose work has been
entirely for the good of the state; a
commission that has upheld that the
construction of heavy. durable con-
crete main arteries is ideal, and that
only a short section of such con-
struction is far better than twice the
distance of a lighter surface.
The commissioners are glad to pay
the penalty for what every member
believes the ideal of honest and best
highways for the New Jersey State
Highway System.
