FREDERICK GEBHARDT, Sr.

The strong fight that is being
made by Frederick Gebhardt, ST.,
of New Brunswick against the grip
which the Patent Pavement Trust
holds on MiddleseX County, is at
.tracting much attention to his fight
for the Republican nomination for
Freeholder, and his chances for
winning out on primary day are
very bright. Mr.. Gebhardt is well
known to the people of this
ty through his association with all
movements for civic betterment,
and as a former member of the
Board of F~reeholders; as a life long
resident of MiddleseX County, he has
been active in all progressive move
ments. He is the chief exponent of
concrete roads and open specifica-
tions, and he also demands that all
materials furnished the County be
weighed at the point of delivery in
order to prevent graft.
Mr.. Gebhardt has served several
terms o. the North Brunswick
Township Board of Education, as
he is deeply interested in educa-
tional needs of the County and has
studied the subject very carefully.
He has also been active in improv-
ing the condition OF the township
schools, and was the leader in Sc
curing a site for the County Voca-
tional School.
Mr.. Gebhardt was elected to the
Board of Freeholders four years
ago and he proved himself a most
able administrator. AS a member
of the Board he was a strong advo-
cate of good roads and through his
efforts, the repair of Main Street,
Midtown. was brought about. He
also fought hard for the improving
of Smith Street, Perth Amboy;
Main street, Metuchen; Easton ave
nue and George street, New Bruins
wick, and many other roads.
AS chairman of the committee in
charge of the county farm, Mr.. Geb-
hardt turned into the Golfers of the
County in 1919, $4,000. This is the
largest sum vcr derived from the
farm. In 1917, when the Democrats
We're in control of the Board of
Freeholders, only $1,100 was de-
rived from the farm. MIR. Gcbhardt
is a native farmer. and knows what
the farmers want in the way Of
Good roads and he has proven him
self a most able administrator of
the affairs of the county farm.

omy in the county administration
and believes that waste should lie
avoided in carrying on the business
of the county and as a Freebooter,

When Mr.. Gebhardt was elected
to the Board of Freeholders one Of
the planks in his platform was in
favor of the state taking " the
A r1Inu arid 90 and n1GA tho rpnnt1-
struction of the Albany street draw
bridge. Both of these improve
ments and the taking over Of the
Albany street bridge by the state
have been wrought under Mr.. Geb-
hardt's able administration. The
taking over of the two bridges by
the State means the saving of mill
lions of dollars to the taxpayers.

dlesex county and has always lived
there. He has been a staunch Re
publican all his life and has the
support of all factions of his party,

vor to represent the interests of all
