APPROACH TO THE BRIDGE.


.he air. a little more often than the average
person in the city. has a suggestion for a di
rect approach to the new state highway bridge
that ought to receive careful consideration
Especially should It be OF interest TO the STATE
,urbDav Commission. Mr.. Garretson writes a.
follows:
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
.Anent your editorial of last night rela-
tive to bridge approach and the necessity
Of having l have this to suggest: II you
will look the ground over from an airplane
as my boys and 1 do occasionally, you Will
see that the most direct way to the ConVery
place approach for Automobiles from
Newark and the north will lie through
the new street that starts from Mr.. Henry
Koeh's home, Amboy avenue and Watrous
lane. and skirts the northern corner OF
Alpine cemetery, on to Cleveland avenue
and Convery place at Brace avenue. This
is almost a direct line and looks to be the
right route when you fly over it.
my suggestion is that the attention of
the State Highway Commission be called to
this by our local authorities and as it really
should be a part of the state highway to the
seashore resorts via the new bridge, it
should be taken over by the state and
paved and maintained out of state funds.
The one great obstacle to this is that the
law at present does not permit the State
Highway Commission taking over streets in
municipalities of over 10000 population.
Possibly the law could be amended so as
to include cities the size of Perth Amboy.
This would in no way interfere with the
project to pave other streets in the north
section by the usual methods.
"FERD GARRETSON."
There is one great stumbling block to this
plan, as Mr. Garretson points out, and that is
that the law under which the State Highway
takes over the control of highway
loes not permit the taking over of streets in
municipalities of $4,000 population or over.
Now that the legislature is in session it might
be possible to have the law amended so that
the highway commission can, when it deems 1t
advisable and the municipality agrees, take over
my street it may desire.
This is a matter that ought to be given the
attention it deserves. A broad avenue or boule-
gard approach to the new bridge through Perth
4mboy would go a great ways in enhancing the
prestige of the city in the eyes of the thousands
IF tourists passing through here.

CITY STABLES AND HIGH SCHOOL.

In planning for the abandonment OF the pres
emit site for the city stables and the erection Of
stables on the poor farm tract where there is
vastly more room. careful consideration ought
to be given to the disposition made Of the stables
that are to be abandoned.
In the first place. the fact must not be over
looked that the present city stables adjoin the
high school grounds. This may seem, to a
stranger, an unusual combination, but rest as
sured that such an arrangement was not in
accord with any plan. In fact, one of the main
reasons why the stables ought to be moved is
because of their proximity to the city's main
educational institution.
Now, the high school is already crowded
Another year or two and the city is going to
have to face the problem of building another
addition. The logical place for this addition Is
on the north side of the present building in the
shape of a wing to match the wing that was
built a few years ago on the south side of the
original structure. This would necessitate the
use of some of the ground now occupied by the
city stables.
As for the stable itself, it is a modern brick
structure and easily convertible into other uses.
Sometime ago when the idea of moving the city
stables was first mentioned, it was suggested
that the present building now used as a stable
be converted into a gymnasium for the high
school. There are several in favor
of such a move.
In the first place. the present facilities at the
high school for physical training are entirely
Inadequate. The pupils. who are compelled by
Jaw to take this physical training. must do so
under the most trying circumstances. They go
into the gymnasium, such as it is. in their reg
ular school clothes and often work themselves
up into a preparation. Then they are sent d.
rect to their classes. They are no lockers, no
gym suits, no showers and no modern conven-
fences for taking physical exercise. Yet the
law compels that the training be given.
By turning the present city stable into a gym
nasium for the high school proper facilities
could be provided and the students would be
given a fair chance. This ought to be serious
ly considered before the present city stables
are finally disposed of.
