Green Street to be Fixed--Co.
Board at Busy Session
Yesterday

NEW BRUNSWICK. May 12-
Warrnite continues to be Il favor
! ite patent paving material with the
freeholders despite the resolution
adopted by that body several weeks
ago, rejecting that material in favor
Of similar substances with different
names.
The action in selecting warrenite
in a resolution presented, adopted
and approved by the unanimous
vote of the board members yester-
day, directly contradicts the state
ments made by County Engineer
Frederick c. Schneider last week
that no warrenite is to be used in
building or repairing Middlesex
county roads this year"
Green street. Woodbridge, from
fselin to Georges road has been Sc
lected as the road that is to receive
a two inch smear of warrenite, and
the county engineer has been o.
rected to prepare plans and specin-
cations for doing the work. though
previous to the adoption or the res
olution residents living along thai
portion of the road, requested
shrough one of their township Off
sials that no action be taken on the
matter until the taxpayers could ar
tange with their local government
or a seal tight job.
Councilman William Hoy. who
made the request, was given no as
surance in the matter, but after ne
had departed and a star chamber
session was held the resolution was
iammed through.
Under the terms of the resolution
authorizing the improvement. the
stone base materials are to be pur-
.hased under the blanket contracts
let a short time ago and county
EMPLOYEES are expected to put the
materials in place, though the fur-
nishing and placing of the mucn
. famed warrenite will be done under
contract.
The road schedule adopted by the
freeholders several weeks ago pro-
vided an appropriation for doing
this work, but whether that amount
. expected to cover the entire COST
Of the project or merely pay for the
warrenite is known to none' put the
treeholders as that matter likewise
was settled in place to wnich the
public is not admitted.

county may not be mislead In tne
