FREEHOLDERS IN REPLY
TO ROAD COST CHARGES
CONTINUED from page y

Office. The vouchers signed by him
ON thsee roads, which he now criti-
cises, are on file at the county treas
urer's office and open to the inspec-
ton of the public.
Roads Not Alike
"As a matter of fact, as every
one c%onVersant with building roads
knows, it is not practical to COM
pare the cost of roads by the cost
per mile for the reason hat no two
roads are alike. Some roads need
more drainage, some need more
grading and ditching, some are built
with different widths, etc. For OK
ample. on the road from Tanners
Corner to Old Bridge, it was found
necessary to rebuild a ten foot ma
cadam base so as to to provide "A six
teen foot maCadam base and to in
stall two three-foOt gravel shout
ders for the entire length of the
road, making the road approx
mately twenty-five feet wide. In ad-
dition to this there was an extern
sive amount of grading, ditching
and drainage necessary and on the
old Bridge hill two concrete cutters
were installed for the entire length
of the hill to take care of the sur
face water.
Further Illustrations.
Further illustrations in the diff
ference of the costs of roads will,
no doubt, to a large extent, be found
in the different requirements OF
drainage, grading, and ditching, etc,
because all these factors are det"r-
mining considerations going to make
up the total cost Of every road. IT
will be found that contract jobs
with the same material have a sim
liar variation in cost.
THE different statements that
have been issued recently by the
Board of Freeholders have been is
sued with the intention of giving the
public the exact information and
data regarding the road repair and
the road improvement program. but
in the event that there is further in
formation sought, other than con
tanned in these statements, it MAY
be had by applying to the county
treasurer's office whicS has on file
q detailed statement OF the cost of
all roads constructed by the county
This information is available to any
and all parties Interested"

A DOG RUINED
YEARS OF WORK


Diamond, a pet dog of Sir Isaac
Newton's, upset a lighted candle.
When the great scientist came in he
found all of his notes, gathered dur
ing years of investigation into the
subject Of optics. a pile OF ashes. Ihe
dog was not so much to blame. me
fault was in leaving the lighted
taper. There is infinitely better pro-
lection today against fires. but they
still continue in the United States at
the average rate of more than one
every minute.
Carelessness causes most fires. The
| property loss, according to Govern
ment figures, is almost enough to
build a new Panama Canal every
year. 1t is greater than the value
of the combined output of all the
gold, silver and upper mines in the
country, plus the output of all of the
American oil wells.
You can do your share to prevent
this appalling destruction.
The National Board of Fire Under
writers has prepared an exceedingly
interesting and valuable 94-page
thousand and one ways in which
fires occur. and what to do to mini
mize this peril. Any reader of this
paper can secure one of these book
lets by writing to our Washington
