Improve New Brunswick Avenue
EDITOR EVENING NEWS
We have noticed that the Board
OF Freeholders this spring have
willingly acted upon the recommen-
dalton to widen the pavement on
the road leading from this city to
M~etuchen. This is a great improve
ment mad should be appreciated by
all.
Petitions and recommendations
have also been made for improve
ments within our city. but these
seem to have been overlooked. The
property owners along New Bruns-
wick venue have petitioned to have
the proper grade established and
the sidews lks graded and curbed
from h westerly terminus Of the
brick pavement to the city line. The
city plan commission has also rec
commended this Improvement. The
commission has also recommended
that a number Of sharp corners be
rounded off by cutting off the sharp
point on the sidewalks where the
streets meet at a sharp angle such
as New Brunswick avenue at Smith
and State streets and Amboy avenue
nue. and several corners on Amboy
ven These improvements we
think are both proper and necessary
and would urge that same be made
without delay.

worked to grade to full width Of the
street, it will be necessary to extend
the culvert at Washington Park 10
the street lines and to erect the nee
sssary retaining walls. This we UNI
Herstand should be done by tho
bounty and we would therefore sug-
yest that the Board of F%reeholders
look into this and take the neces-
sary action.
This is one of the main streets
leading into the city and has sew.
eral bad places in it and with deem
bitches on both sides and a curve
near the culvert is dangerous at
night. The county road leading to
the city has been repaired and we
should not leave this short piece OF
street in the present bad condition.
1t must be remembered hat this
street is very much used by pedes-
triars and is very dangerous. In
fact, several persons have already
been killed on this street ON ac-
count of the lack of proper side
walks.
We have had many sad accidents
In Perth Amboy and may have
more; but let us not continue to
invite accidents by neglecting to
have our main streets placed and
kept in proper condition.
To round off the most dangerous
sharp corners on our streets Is q
comparatively simple matter and
should be done without delay.
These n are dangerous with
h heavy automobile traffic and we
as taxpayers certainly think that
this improvement is well worth the
cost.
