Final Action on Paving.

fly Evening News stan Correspondent
METUCHEN, April 19-The
grade on South Main street was es-
tablished and approved in a reso-
luton passed by the borough
Gil last night. \ delegation from
the South Metuchen Civic League
was present at the meeting and eX-
pressed its satisfaction with the
progress made thus far. The mat
ter of the kind of material to be
used in paving the road caused con
siderable discussion, no definite de-
cision being reached.
1t was pointed out that owing
to the heavy traffic over this road by
trucks going to and from Camp
Raritan it would be necessary to
build it of substantial material or
il would wear away in a short time.
Concrete construction seemed to be
generally favored, some asking for
a top surfaCing on a concrete base.
George Dennebeil. one of the dele
CATION, spoke in favor of concrete.
Borough Engineer Otto Noelker
also approved of concrete construc-
ton.
The members of the delegation
also pointed out that the present bad
condition of South Main street is re-
Sulting in several of the side roads
being ruined as the heavy traffic IS
using these other route as detourS
until Main street has been improved.
The council is expected to decide
upon the kind of pavement desired
by their next meeting.
