Athletic Club Plans for Up-to-
Date Structure on Site of
Old Building.
Inv r,euInr New. corresponden,, !

IBy Evening News Correspondent
TOTTENVILLE, March when
that portion of the Aquehonga Ath-
letic clubhouse at Brighton street
and Academy place is again rebuilt
after what damage was done TO that
Structure by fire two weeks ago
there are going to be some big
changes in the building according to
the present plans of the building
committee that has the matter in
charge. The building committee. of
which Joseph Morrell is the chair
man. was named some time before
the fire to consider the rebuilding of
the clubhouse for the accommoda-
ton of the fast growing member
ship, but since the fire that damaged
the upper part of the structure this
committee has been given further
power to enlarge the structure. Two
sets of plans have been drawn and
are on exhibition at the clubhouse
for the consideration of the men,
kbers and for the offering of sugges-
)lions for the rebuilding of the struc-
'ture.
One of the plans is for a one
story structure with everything that
will include a basketball court. an
auditorium to seat about 500 people
and two more sets of bowling alleys,
together with meeting rooms, card
rooms, and billiard room and the
sother is a two-story structure call
ing for about the same things with
in the two stories of the building.
The object of the club officials is TO
erect an up-to-date clubhouse with
every convenience for the members.
A meeting will be held in about two
weeks to take up the rebuilding pro-
position and to decide upon which
plans are the best or else arrange
plans best suited for the club. The
present structure which was dam
aged by a fire two weeks ago was
erected in 1898 following a fair
which netted the club good sum
of money to get a start. A fair held
last fall netted about s2.500 and this
will be used in the new building.

AWAITS PAVING
People Are Anxious to See
Road Repairs Started as
Soon as Possible.
tBy Evening News Correspondent

tBy Evening News Correspondent
SOUTH AMBOY, March 7.-Peo-
pie of this city are anxious to see
the road improvement work in this
city get started. Contractor Thomas
II. Riddle has practically completed
the work of grading Bordentown ave-
nue. and is waiting the spring time
to start laying concrete. The State
Highway Commission has an exten-
sive improvement campaign mapped
out, which when started will greatly
relieve the labor situation in this vi
cinity.
The highway commission expect to
advertise for bids for their improve
ments this week. This will mean
that work will be started within
short time. The highways share of
the work will be the paving of one
block on Bordentown avenue and
about an eighth of a mile on Pine
avenue. The plans of the commission
eliminates the two tracks now on
Bordentown avenue and swinging
1t to the center of the avenue. Pro-
vision is made for building a storm
sewer to take care of the surface
water in-this section and the pave
ment is to extend from curb to curb.
Bordentown avenue when COM
pleted will extend as far as Roses
corner AS far as the city line the
pavement will reach from curb to
curb giving the street a uniform
width of seventy-five feet. This was
made possible through the change
of property with the Whitehead Sand
company whereby the city received a
strip of land several hundred feet
wide in exchange for a strip of shore
front property.
1t is understood that the Board of
Freeholders are considering the
pavement of Raritan street to the
County Bridge. This will complete
South Amboy's paving program of
the main highways. With this work
all under way within a short time.
South Amboys labor trouble and
unemployment will be nearly solved
