FREEHOLDERS TO FIX
THE OLD BRIDGE ROAD
Continued from page y

Continued from page -
While this agreement was reached
some time ago, the contract tween
the interested parties has been IN
the hands of the trolley company for
some time, but 1t was submitted to
the freeholders yesterday and i'm
mediately approved. While no men
zion was made as to when the ac-
tual work of construction would be
started it was intimated that no time
would be lost in completing the job.
The contract approved yesterday
applies as well to the tracks on out
er State street. where h county
now has a new pavement under way
and it is expected that such a long
delay as has been experienced on
Smith street would not be noticed on
the State street job.
Not only road conditions but
bridge problems as well took UP a
great deal Of the freeholders' time
yesterday, when reports were receiv-
ed of the bad condition of several
of the county bridges which are bad
ly in need of repair. The latter
problem appears to be of a serious
nature in view of the fact that the
appropriations for this work have
been exhausted and it will probably
become necessary to float an emer-
gency bond issue to care for the
work that must be done.
Probably the most serious situa-
ion:is at the bridge over Woodbridge
creek on the Observation-Disclosures
road which will be practically recon
structed. The supporting beams of
the bridge are said to be so badly
bent that a portion of the structure
has been closed to traffic while the
deck or slab is in such a weakened
condition that it is considered UNI
safe. Plans for the necessary res
| pairs were approved yesterday and
the engineer was instructed to ask
for bids at once.
The cement work at the street
level of the Convery place bridge at
Perth Amboy was also reported as
crumbling and in need of immediate
repair though there seems to be no
question of the safety of the struc-
ture.
Heavy chunks have fallen from
the concrete abutments of the draw
bridge between South River and
~Sayreville, according to the reports
is said not to impair the safety or
ulllity VI lHc DIiuSC tAc SOuiily III
gineer was Instructed to make an
immediate survey of the situation.
Numerous other bridges are said to
be in need of attention and efforts
| are to be made at the next meeting
to provide the finances for the va
rious operations.
The borough officials of Highland
Park called the freeholders atten-
ton to the bad condition of the
bridge at Duclos lane and Wood
bridge avenue and to the stoppage OF
various drains along Woodbridge
VENUE, which during heavy rains
| cause the water to back up and flood
that locality. The drains will be
cared for Immediately but bridge
matter will be held elegance until
the various other bridge questions
I are settled.
