SO. AMB0YANS PUSH FIGHT
FOR STREET IMPROVEMENTS

BY Special Correspondent.
SOUTH AMBOY, July s-The
people of Stockton street are de-
termined that they will get the inn
provement that they have been
working for for some time. On sew
eral occasions delegations of resi-
dents and property owners have APP
peared before the council with sign
ed petitions and personal appeals
for action.
On Tuesday night another delega-
ton appeared before the city faith
ers. They were represented by
Counsellor John Lovely. This mat
ter has been hanging fire now since
the time Mr.. Kerr was mayor. Maps
have been prepared laying out the
proposed Improvement and they
show that it will be necessary to
purchase two properties on Augusta
street in order to open the street.
The matter of finances is holding
up the matter. There is some sem
timent against assessing the i'm
provement directly against the prop
erty facing on Stockton street. but
others cannot see how the opening
Of the street will directly benefit the
entire city.

that you will keep this matter be-
