matter of the material to be used on
the surface of the Fords-Rogan's
Corner road. 1t is very doubtful If
Mr.. Hoy "a produce any evidence to
cover him up" on this point. as a
canvass will show that few-if any
taxpayers were consulted in this
matter.
Any attempt of Mr.. Hoy to try and
| place the blame on the Board of
F~reeholders at this time Will only
| serve to make matters worse, as a
petition among the taxpayers on this
street will reveal the fact that he
made no effort to find out how he
stood on the matter in the first place.
! The fact of the matter is that Mr..
Hoy set his W trap and pulled the
Beard of Freeholders in with him.
The Board of Freeholders have
placed the blame on Mr.. Hoy for
specifying a patented dressing on
this road. If the Board of Freehold
ers consider themselves innocent in
| this matter they should publish the
| signers on the petition for the paw
ing of the Fords-Rogan's Corner
road.
As a matter of fact the Board of
f|feeHplutIS nave oiippto up IN
several other contracts in this re-
spect. 1t appears hat the Freehold
ers allowed Mr.. Hoy to put n
over on them, and are nov making
weak excuses to clear them of the
responsibility. Let the taxpayers see
the ame on the petition-the origi-
nal. not a new one.
Perhaps Mr.. Hoy can also explain
why he insisted on the purchasing of
a site for a poor house in Fords,
which he said would cost the town
ship of Woodbridge ST., 50O-when
it can be proven ma the same place
was up for sale at that time for
$1,000. Perhaps Mr.. Hoy can ex-
plain why this matter was killed by
another member of the township
committee against his wishes. A
statement from the second ward
committeeman would not come amiss
in this matter.
There has been a tremendous
amount of improvements made In
Fords during the past two years, but
as yet no bills have been received by
the taxpayers. 1t would be only just
and reasonable for Mr.. Hoy to eX-
plain why these bills will not be in
the hands of the taxpayers before
general election day. Perhaps there
is a political reason. If so. an eX-

the road after the system vas
constructed, and as a result the
street was soon in such a shape that
it was a disgrace to the community
of Fords. Mr.. Hoy should explain to
the public why he. as an elected rep
resentative of the taxpayers interest,
allowed this road to be destroyed n
not repaired till it was necessary for
a new pavement to be laid.
1t will also be noted that the sewer
line. which caused the destruction OF
a perfectly good pavement. is called
the "stovepipe SYSTEM This nick
| name came from the fact That II Is
| almost too small to carry the present
! supply of waste material. If this
street should become fully populated,
the present sewer line would be too
small to carry the supply of waste
| material. Perhaps Mr.. Hoy can ex-
plain why the proper sewer system
| was not installed at that time-at a
saving to the taxpayers in later
years.
In connection with this "~stove-pipe
system" it will be recalled that sew
eral taxpayers were unable to n
the proper connections when they
endeavored to tap onto the line. AS
a result some of the property owners
had to go to the extra expense of dig
ging new trenches for their house
connections. Some of the proper con-
nections were never found. and n
peop1e were forced to smash holes IN
the pipe to make a connection.
Was it not Mr.. Hoy's duty to see
that the inspector on the job Kept
the proper data as to the street con-
nections? Did he protect the tax
-..z. 41rae+ -, chic nqn1 Gjnn .
In the second place it will be noted
that t he bed for this street was con-
structed with a poor grade of gravel.
This gravel consisted of small,
smooth yellow stones-which do not
take to any mixture of concrete like
crushed stone. 1t has been an es-
tablished fact for years-a rule made
by expert construction engineers
that smooth stones are inferior to
crushed stone.
Crushed stone will stand pressure
frost and heavy weight years longer
than common gravel. Gravel has a
tendency to give in places under
much pressure. and with a poor sur
face it is only a question of a snort
time before there will be signs of this
road sinking in places.
Mr.. Hoy is a resident and presum-
ably a taxpayer ON the fords-
Rogan's corner road. Perhaps he car
explain why an inferior grade or
stone was used in making the bed of
street. Surely he had enough in
in the matter to obtain intor-
on this point. Crushed stone
doubt cost more than gravel, but
not near as much as a patent pave
ment. If Mr.. Hoy wanted to do so
much specifying. why did he not spe-
city something that would benefit
the taxpayers?
If the contractors lived up to their
contract. why did Mr.. Hoy not ask
competent engineers about the use
If gravel and crushed stone? He is
elected to look after the taxpayers
interests. Can Mr.. Hoy honestly say
70 fulfilled his duties?
Now a few words on the question
If Mr.. Hoy's efforts in getting the
opinion of his constituents in the
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-09-13

PLANTATION is necessary.
Should Mr.. Hoy deem it advisable
to answer questions and explain his
stand on the matters mentioned, he
may find that by doing so he might
involve himself in the opinion of the
taxpayers and voters of the second
ward.
However, a few words in the pub
lie press would help clear up many
unbusiness-like methods in the mat
ter of getting petitions for other paw
ing jobs in Fords. Many people in
Perth Amboy W property in Fords.
Have they been consulted in the
matter of improvements?
Woodbridge township is paying
the highest tax rate in Middlesex
county. Mr.. Hoy is responsible for
the high cost of these improvements.
Can he explain the necessity of the
present tax rate?
Let us hear from you, Mr.. Hoy. 1t
is petty politics to dodge the issues
of a campaign. The Evening News
has space for your reply. All we ask
is honest statements of existing facts.

PUBLIC OPINION
PAVING AT FORDS
I o EVENING NEWS:

GDllOIb EN EN- N II %.
/ a been requested by several
taxpayers, seven of whom reside on
New Brunswick avenue to write an
article to your paper in regards to
the improvements made in this Sec
ton.
Knowing that it is only fair that
the sentiment of some of the tax
ayers should find space in the pub
lie press. | have accepted their re-
quest and trust you a spare room
! for the following in you paper.
There has been much said during
the past few months in the matter of
the paving of the Fords-Rogan's Cor
ner road AS this is the outstanding
example of the wholesale distribution
of public funds by the Fords COM
mjtteemen and the Board of Free
holders, it is only natural that his
matter should receive the attention
of the taxpayers and voters of Fords
and Middlesex county.
In the first place it is a known fact
that the contract for this road was
awarded in the fall of last year. just
too late for actual work to be start
ed before winter set in. Prices were
high at hat time. but that made no
difference to william D.. Hoy. COM
mitteeman from Fords, or the Board
of Freeholders. Mr.. Hoy was anx-
ious to push this job through, re-
gardless of the fact that the contract
could have been given out in the
spring of this year at less cost-even
though the patent paving material
wal specified by him. Why did Mr..
Hoy insist that this contract be
awarded at such a time, when he
knew that the job could be done for
less money a few months later?
u It will be remembered that this
~ same road was paved several years
ago, and shortly after the work was
u completed it was defaced and de-
/ stroyed in order that a new sewer
! line could be installed. No trouble
was taken to repair the surface of
