Will Concrete Some Roads

The Hunterdon County Board OF
Freeholders are considering the con-
GREETING of the river road, from the
Lambertville city line to the Mercer
County line, little over one mile. al
though the work probably cannot be
done this year on account of the lack
of funds. The present road is ma
cadam with oiled surface, and has
quite some holes in it, although these
are now being filled.
Other sections that will probably be
concreted, perhaps this year. are the
short piece from the old gas house to
the fair ground road, in Pennington
borough, and from Remington juno
ton station to the first overhead
bridge going toward Stanton. This
last section was in terrible condition
this Spring, and has been filled and
refilled with stone until it is now in
fairly passable condition, but new
road bed will have to be constructed.
The mile section from Lower VAL
ley to Crestmoor will be built if bids
can be secured. This section is now
almost impossible, particularly after
rain. 1t has never been improved.
