said that Louis Newberg of Sewaren,
will he one of those selected to fill
the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of Committeeman Gardner and

The discussion and action towards
the improvement of Woodbridge
began when Committeeman-at-large
McElroy offered scheme for
doing away with the brook and
marsh property from 1T. Georges
road to Pearl street. He urged that
a retraining wall be built and that
dirt from various sections of the
township then be dumped into the

which a park might he created. This
brought for a suggestion on the part
of j. II. Thayer Martin that a town
plan de adopted. a general dis
cussion followed.
Mr.. McElroy raised the point of
mosquito breeding along the brook.
While no. definite action was taken
on the park subject, further discus
sion will take place at future meet
ings of the committee. 1t is ex-
pected that an effort will be made
to awaken sentiment to the park
and town planning projects.
Committeeman William H. Hoy Of
Fords, then took part in the discus
sion and stated that while Fords
was going ahead and making i'm
provements. Woodbridge was stand
ing still because of the fact that
Fords gets the improvements and is
willing to pay for them. On motion
by Committeeman Hoy, the COM
mittee authorized the preparing or
ordinances for the paving of Schoo.
street and Pearl street. He also
started agitation for the laying of
sidewalks along Raritan avenue.
Two objections were recorded in
