Take Up Street Paving
Tonight

An adjourned meeting of the
Board Of Aldermen will be held "
the city hall tonight, a. which-time
the plans for converting the old fac
tory building on the city dock into
a modern warehouse will be taken
up. The plans are now in the pos
session of the aldermen and are
likely to be okehed by them, al
though slight changes may be made.
A modern warehouse has long
been needed on this property as al
the present time the only place to
store freight taken from vessels ply
ing up and down the sound and
Raritan river is on the open space
of the dock, where it Is exposed TO
all weather conditions. With a ware
house in operation on the city dock
property, 1t is expected that much
additional freight will be handled
at this point.
7 1t is also likely that az tonight's
meeting the aldermen will take VI
the matter Of streets which is caus-
ing considerable comment at this
time. Paving on several streets is
pending and it is expected that these
will be decided upon tonight.
