ASK 10 MILES
Of PAVENENTS
Delegations From Southeast
ern Section of County Be-
fore FreehoIderS

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. 49,
The promiscuous breaking and open
ing of the pavements OF improved
county roads by wner or contrac-
tors for the purpose of making be-
lated gas, water or sewer connec-
tons has been stopped by the Board
of Freeholders.
No further permits will be issued
for work of this kind until after a
new resolution has been adopted by
the county board providing a penalty
for %infractions and the freeholders
may demand in the future thai n
cash deposit accompany each re-
quest for a permit, so hat the
ty may be properly protected.
Three applications were received
yesterday, one asking permission to
open New Brunswick avenue in
Fords, one for Woodbridge avenue
in Highland Park and the other
along the c&useway in South River
though al! applications were held in
allegiance PENDING the new reSuIa-
tions to be made.
Delegations or taxpayers from the
southeastern section of the county,
armed with numerous petitions n
fortified with convincing arguments,
appeared before the county fathers
with the request that about ten
miles of roads in that locality be
permanently improved.
From a statement made by County
Treasurer +. William Hilker that
the present bonding capacity is ap-
p~roximately $500. 900, the inference
might be taken that permanent road
construction during 1922 may be
somewhat curtailed. All the re-
..-. r.. ..-.l
referred to the board for considera-
ton.
The taxpayers living along Bor-
dentown Turnpike, between Helmet
ia and Old Bridge, are so well
pleased with the new concrete road
way between Helmetta and James,
burg that they are now DESTROYS of
having a pavement of the same type
extended to Old Bridge, a distance
of between three and four miles.
In presenting their arguments in
favor of this work the speakers
pointed out the desirability of nav
ing the, entire pavement constructed
at one time. thereby providing an
outlet from hat vicinity to the AM
boys and New Brunswick.
Madison township residents. most
of whom are truck farmers, are
tiudlly utoli Jus VI hdNiuS tiS Jun
ty improve the road from Old Bridge
to the county line near Matawan,
giving them a suitable pavement on
which to make their ways to the
market centres. This road is being
considered.
This road is being considered in
the program for the next year. and
IN effort is now being made by the
freeholders to obtain substantial fl
nancial assistance from the state
highway commission to enable the
building of the entire three miles
Of road.
