Indications Are That North

METUCHEN, March 1S.-Though
members of the borough council
were assured by the Board of Free
holders about week ago that coun-
ty financial assistance would be given
the borough in laying permanent
paving in North Main street, the ac-
tivities of county employees in that
section yesterday would seem to in
dicate that no new pavements would
be laid this year.
This half mile stretch of ruts and
mud holes is now being scarified and
will be rolled by county patrol gang
to make it passable. Freeholder
Walter Quakenbush when questioned
yesterday as to when the new pave
ment would bo laid, replied:
Not until you settle the sewer
question"
The assurance given by members
of the council to the freeholders that
the time this matter was discussed
was that after the pavement was
laid it would be unnecessary to tear
up any part of it for the purpose of
laying a trunk sewer as provision
would be made for laying sewers
under the sidewalks.

Extending Gotham for

announced, to extend Manhattan Isl
and six miles down the bay by build
ing mammoth sea walls from both
sides of the Battery and filling in the
intervening space with earth.
A company has been incorporated
TO carry out the project and T. Ken
nard Thompson, a prominent engin-
eer of the city, has prepared the de-
tailed plans. The Broadway Associa-
ton, composed of merchants along
the famous thoroughfare, has endors-
ed the idea.
If the plan is ever carried out, it's
proponents say thai six square miles
would be tackled on the most valuable
piece of land on earth; that II miles
of needed docks would be added to
the ports facilities; that transit would
be greatly improved and hat the tax
On all real estate might be reduced
n per cent.
The plan has already been outlined
to the War Department, Mr.. Thomp-
son says, and no objections have been
raised, since the proposed built-up X
tension would still leave on either side
of the island the same clearance for
navigation that now exists on the
Hudson and East river sides.
The work could be completed in
five years, in MI. Thompson's belief,
Y is a well-known fact" he said,
that the business center of Manhat-

lower end of the island will again be-
come a residential district, with the
result of tremendous decrease in val

The only way to remedy this, he
added, was to make City Hall the
geographical center by extending
Broadway some six miles down the
