PAVING FIGHT
At WOODBRIDGE
Spirited Discussion on Paw
ing of Fulton st. at Com
mittee Meeting

WOODBRIDGE, Sept. AT the
meeting of the township committee
held last night numerous ordinances
and bids were passed upon, the fea-
lures of the session being the pass
ing on second and third readings OF
the projected improvement to Myr-
tie avenue and a spirited discussion
of the proposed ordinance providing
for the paving of Fulton street.
The ordinance authorizing the paw
ing of Fulton street with the patent
paving was presented for second
reading and was the object OF a red
hot scrap. The improvement a
been under consideration for some
time and has caused strenuous oppo-
sition among the property owners,
who object to the expense saddled on
them. Several property owners APP
peared at the meeting last night and
enlored their objections to the work,
the concensus of opinion being that
the property abutting was not OF
sufficient value to warrant the expen-
diture necessary for the paving.
Question of Consent.
question was raised by n
speaker as to whether seventy per
cent of the property ms had con-
scented or requested the work. The
same question Is SAID TO nave come
up some time ago and information
| received as the result of an unoffi-
cial investigation indicated that less
than forty per cent of the property
owners had asked for the paving.
Probably the most bitter opposi-
ton conferred around the provision
for the patent paving rather than
| the concrete. David A. Brown spoke
at the meeting. asking why concrete
had not been mentioned as the ma
terial to be used. Mr.. Brown is said
to have objected bitterly to paying
the overhead charges on the patent
paving. The matter was the subject
of a lively discussion lasting for
some time and "a finally ended by
laying the ordinance over until Sep

Paving At FOrds.
The township attorney was au-
thorized to prepare an ordinance
for the paving between the tracks
through Fords. the cost of the work
not to exceed $4,000. The attorney
was also instructed to prepare an
ordinance appropriating money for
the purchase of an almshouse.
