The county bridge was opened for
traffic shortly after noon today.
Charles e. Ryan. superintendent of
the construction company which has
been making the repairs necessitat-
ed by the accident occurring last Sat-
urday when a barge passing through
the draw broke loose and rammed
the structure. ordered traffic to be
resumed.
All traffic will be allowed to pass
over the bridge this afternoon. in
cluding trolley cars. heavy trucks.
and automobiles.
1t was originally intended to have
the bridge open for service yester-
day, but two days of high winds
made the water so rough that it
held up and delayed the repair
work considerably.
In repairing it was found neces-
sary to drive twenty-four piles into
the bottom of the river. These piles
were Jagged with timbers six inches
square and thirty-six feet long. The
tops of the piles were then secured
by lengths of heavy timber and up
on them were placed four 50-ton
jacks, which will hold the damaged
span in place until permanent repair
can be made. The bridge has been
swung back into position and all
damage repaired temporarily except
the steel work.

GIRLS WANTED
To SEE WORLD

Suzanna Zenda. fourteen years
old, and Mary Jaworowsli, fifteen,
both of Bayonne, reported to the
local police station yesterday after
noon and asked to be sent back to
their homes. The two girls had run
away from Ba, onne and evidently
tired of their purpose to see the
world after reaching Perth Amboy.
Both girls refused to assign any rea-
son for running away when ques-
toned by the authorities.
The Bayonne police were notified
of the presence of the girls here and
they in turn made known the fact
to relatives fthe homesick runa-
ways. Suzanna's father appeared at
headquarters late in the afternoon
and claimed his daughter but re-
fused to take charge of the second
girl on the ground that he did not
know anything about her. Mary is
being held to await the arrival of
her mother, who is expected today.

Metuc!'hen Wins Paving
Fight; Will Lay Concrete

The entire meeting of the free
holders was held in public yesterday
despite the motion of Freeholder
Clarence Haight that twenty-five
minute intermission be taken while
awaiting the arrival of Attorney
Benner. The board recently decid-
ed against holding recesses at which
secret conferences were held. In
making the motion yesterday Mr..
Haight used the word 'intermis-

NEW BRUNSWICK. Oct. 7.-As a
result of the general sentiment ex-
pressed in Metuchen by property
owners along North Main street in
favor of reinforced concrete pave
ment. the freeholders yesterday re-
jected five bids received by them for
warrenite pavement on concrete
base. None of the bids were OPEN
ed. Immediately after these bids
had been rejected the county engf-
neer was instructed to advertise for
bids on a twenty-foot reinforced
concrete road. built to the same
specifications used by the state high
way department. This measure was
objected to by Representatives from
Metuchen and the action was re-
scinded.
Mayor Washington Wilson, Coun-
Gilman Frederick Ayres and Bor-
ough Attorney Wesley Benner spoke
for the North Main street property
owners and pointed out that al
though a concrete road was desired
the property owners did not want
such heavily constructed road as
the freeholders suggested. The free
holders favored concrete road
eight inches deep on the outer edges
and ten inches deep in the center,
this being the style used by the
state highway department. Council
man Ayres claimed that laying such
road would be pouring the taxpay-
ers' money into the streets as there
is no need for such a heavily con-
structed road owing to the absence
of heavy trucks passing over it.
According to the Metuchen repre-
sentatives the laying of heavy
concrete road would entail an un-
necessary expense, it being their be-
lief that a concrete road six inches
thick on the outer edges and seven
inches in the center would be suffi-
ciently strong. these proportions
being used in the paving of South
Main street.
Freeholder Quackenbush brought
up the point that it would be impos-
s;ble to receive state aid if the same
specifications used by the state in
laying concrete roads were not
lived up to. 1t was then said that
state aid had been received on this
road several years ago and no more
financial assistance could be expect
ed.
A request was then made by the
Metuchen freeholders that the five
loot Strips on either side OF tne
tweney foot road which will be con-
in the center of the road.
together with the concrete cutters,
be done in one contract. 1t was
poited out that if the borough ad-
vertised for this work it would tal;e
about two months before actual
work could be started whereas
the freeholders could get it under |
way much sooner. the borough re-
the freeholders for its |
share of expense.
1t was decided to hold the matter |
in allegiance for one week. during |
which time it will. be taken up with |
the county solicitor to determine |
whether. or not the county can le-
gally do as requested by the bor-
ough of Metuchen.
A supplementary contract was |
awarded to Liddle & Pfeiffer on the |
West avenue. Sewaren, pavement.
Owing to the condition of the sub
soil on this street from the Wood
bridge Creek bridge to the Boynton
Company's yard. it had been
deemed advisable to make the con-
crete one inch deeper along this
stretch. entailing an additional cost
Of twenty-six cents per square yard.
This stretch is about 500 feet long.
