Roads Damaged by Trucks

Diversion of the through truck
traffic from the Lincoln Highway to
the York Road played havoc with the
section running North of this city
through Hunterdon and into Somerset
and Morris counties.
While there were a number of
bumpy and heaved places at the time
the frost left the ground, over a
month ago, the frequency of such
places have been more than doubled.
In this county the sod is being
scraped from the bitches between this
city and Pennington, and stone is
being placed from Whitehouse to the
Lamington River, in order that that
section, which was specially coated
late last Fall, ard is Just be-
ginning to ego to pieces" may be
saved.
For time many New York-Phila-
delphia trucks came through Summit,
Far Hills, Whitehouse, Pennington,
Lambertville, New Hope, Buckingham
and Willow Grove, as the best route,
but warnings have now been issued
against the New Jersey section.
Roads west of this city, in Pennsyl-
vania, are far and away better than
those North and East, in New Jersey.
While roads are generally bad, and
some almost impossible, through up
per Hunterdon and Morris counties,
the York Road leading through Bucks
county is in good condition to Buck
ingham, seven miles from New Hope;
in top notch condition from Bucking-
ham to Warminster; some rough from
Warminster; to Willow Grove, but not
heaved or impossible, and from Will
low Grove, via Glenside, the Phila-
delphia road is in splendid condition.
Going on West to Norristown, Val
lev Forge, and points in Montgomery,
Delaware and Chester counties, where
many people from this section journey
in warm weather, the roads are in
very good condition.
The dirt roads in this section have
had but little chance to be good, due
to the frequent rains, which has kept
them muddy most of the Spring.

A nervy attempt was made to steal
the Ford Touring car of Constable
John H. Reed from his barn at White
house Station at about o'clock
Thursday morning. The thieves gain
ed an entrance to the barn from the
rear, unlocked the front doors and
twice attempted to start the car, a
late model with a starter, but were
evidently foiled by not having key
for the switch lock. About this time
Mr.. Reed got up to get something
and turned on the lights in the house
and This evidently frightened them
away, for they left the lights turned
on in the car and the barn doors open.
