PIERS PROBLEM
FOR NEW SPAN
Sites for Piers Will be Tested
--PiIing Foundation May
be Necessary
rBy Evening News Correspondent ]

tBy Evening News Correspondent
TRENTON, Sept. 17:-The State
Highway Department has engaged
the firm of Linde & Griffith Com
pany of Newark to test the proposed
sites for the piers to be used in the
construction of the new state bridge
over the Raritan river at Perth
Amboy, according to information
obtained today by the representative
of the Perth Amboy Evening News
from State Highway Engineer
Thomas j. Wasser. He explained
that the federal government has
certified it's appropriation of finan-
cial aid for the construction of the
bridge.
Question of Piling
1--WE are now engaged in the ques-
ton of testing to determine whether
the foundations of the piers shall be
on piling or whether it will be neces-
sary to put them on rock bottom,
explained the highway engineer. The
plans for the approaches to the
bridge are practically completed and
we are now writing the specifica-
tions upon which the estimates or
bids for the work will be asked"
Mr.. Wasser could not say exactly
when the bids will be advertised for.
AS to, the federal governments aid,
he said it will amount to $4,000
The remainder of the cost will have
to be borne by the state out of funds
received annually for the building
of the state highway system, OF
which the bridge is to form an i'm
portant link.
TT will depend to a material de-
gree on whether the piers must rest
on rock bottom or upon piling as to
how much the states share of the
cost will be-" said the engineer.
AS to when the actual work OF
construction will start, Mr.. Wasser
also refused to make a prediction AT
this time.

AGAIN REPLY
Charges of Excessive Road
Charges Made by Gebhardt
Are Answered

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. IT,
County Solicitor Frederick +. Rich
ardson today issued another state
ment on behalf of the freeholders
replying to the charges of excess
road construction costs made by
former Freeholder Frederick Geb-
hardt in a letter to the Evening
News this week. The statement OF
the freeholders points out that the
cost per mile, as quoted by the for
mer freeholder, is higher than the
actual costs, Mr.. Gebhardt having
considered the roads shorter than
they really are.
Mr.. Gebhardt is asked by the free
holders to explain why a certain
paving which he put through cost
more per mile than the work now
being done by the freeholders which
the former officeholder claims is ex-
cessive.
The statement follows:
"In your issue OF September Is,
there appears a statement from eX-
Freeholder Gebhardt charging that
the cost of certain roads constructed
by the county was excessive. He
states that Freeholder Vanden-
berghs Ridge Road (Which, by the
way. is not the Ridge Road, but the
Aqueduct-Plainsboro road) cost $73,-
600 for one and one third miles or
$4,000 per mile. The correct length
of this road is one and one-half miles
and the cost. $72,293.37, or $4S,000
per mile.
Trenton Turnpike
"He further states that the Tren-
ton turnpike built by DR.. Belloff cost
S175.O00 for two and one-half miles
or $4,000 per mile The correct
figures on this road show that the
total length of this road is a distance
of 1862 miles and that the total cost
| is S157,531.42 or an average of $43,-
517 per mile.
"He further states that Easton
avenue-George street-was built
under his supervision and that he
| lay one and one-quarter miles OF
| pavement for $4,000. The correct
| figures show that these roads are
only 8 of a mile in length and that
they actually cost s42,59S.17 or an
average of $4,000 per mile.
Asks Questions
"If the ex-freeholder is to attempt
to compare the cost of the roads on
the basis of the cost per mile. it
might be well for him to explain to
the taxpayers, whose votes he is now
seeking, why it was that it cost him
more per mile to construct Easton
avenue-George street, than 1t cost
other freeholders to construct the
Trenton turnpike or the Aqueduct-
Plainsboro road. The slight. if any,
difference in the cost of labor and
drainage between the roads under
discussion does not begin to explain
| it.
"The fact of the matter is that
the ex-freeholder has not paid close
attention to the facts nor taken the
precaution to find out what he is
talking about before he endeavors
to explain all these matters to the
public. 1t might further appear
that when he sat as a member of
the board and approved all these
vouchers Yor the roads, that he, at
! that time could, with better grace,
have objected to the cost of same,
| if he thought the cost excessive,
rather than to delay this criticism
until he becomes a candidate Tor
