NEW BRUNSWICK. May IL
Efforts on the part of certain tax
payers of the county to learn what
he county proposes to do vita
reference to the paving of the Lin-
koln Highway between Highland
I'ark and Metuchen is expected to-
morrow at the weekly session of the
'ounty Board of Freeholders. While
L cannot be said that the rebuilding
,s the highway will be opposed. Ii
is a well known fact that any at
tempt by the freeholders or anyone
else to employ warrenite in the road
construction will be strenuousiy
fought. carrying the question
through the courts if necessary.
In view of the apparent difference
of opinion between the State High
way Commission and the freehoid-
ers as to the status of the rebuilding
proposition the paving seems to be
in a muddled condition. The state
body claims that the work is about
to be started by the freeholders un-
der the state reimbursement act
while the frecholders deny any such
intent.
1t has been suggested by certa,r
dissenting taxpayers that secrel
pact has been made between the tive
bodies and that the freeholders are
not yet ready, for some reason. I.
announce their intentions. Tomor-
row it is said that an effort viii be
r,ade to learn how the question
stands.
At tomocrow's meeting the free
holders will receive bids for the
construction of a bridge and two
cuiverts on New Brunswick avenue
between Perth Amboy and Fords
The building of the bridge and cul-
verts will be done to widen the road
Nso that Woodbridge township may
lay sidewalks along the roadway.

Woodbridge is alive with rumors
today concerning the commission

being waged here. According to lat
est reports, which are being spread

anime each name ON the petition -
that nothing can be put over" This

The fact that the election will not
be held on next Tuesday, will not
be received with much pleasure by
those backing the commission gov
ernment movement, as they have
planned to hold the election on that

that under the law it would be i'm
possible to hold it at any other
time. regardless as to whether or
not the Names on the petition had
