Mrs. William Kipp Basford spoke

posed the site. He said the property
was a mosquito breeding place. Il
being the center Of q large area In
which mosquitoes thrive. He de-
clared that II Is the foggiest section
owing to the numerous hoilows ana
low spots. The site is very noisy,
the doctor said. every sound from
the railroad coming there. When
the site vas originally purchased.
DIT. Lippincott said, one Of the
things taken into consideration was
the accessibility OF L. Since then.
he said, the automobile buses have
come and 1t Is now possible to reach
places which trains do not reach.
Councilman Fred c. Ayers. speak
ing for the people of the borough in
general, said 1t would be unfair for
the Metuchen people to make de-
structfve criticism without giving
some constructive advice. The pro-
gress of Metuchen will be impeded
by the hospital. he said. pointing out
that the borough Is now in the maxi
ing. A loss OF 500 on each Of
$3.50 taxable lots now in the bor-
ough. he said. would represent a
total loss to the borough of one-half
million dollars. The councilman
suggested the property between the
Steiton and River road. known ~
the Randolph farm. a. the highest
spot in the county and an ideal
location for a sanitarium.
George w. Litterst. speaking In
behalf Of the Metuchen Building e
Loan Association. stated that dur.
ing the twenty-five years this asso-
citation has existed the deposits OF
the 500 or more shareholders have
been invested In Metuchen property
loans. The establishment of the

said. would be q menace to the

sire to get Its water supply from in
the future, being the headwater of
the south branch of the Railway
river.
William A. Spencer. speaking az
the Raritan township attorney and
also for certain property owners, as
serted that the proposed site IL not
fit for a hospital. The growth Of
Perth Amboy. he said, will mean
that people win come from that city
seeking homes in and about Me-
tuchen. In anticipation Of this
growing community, he pointed out,
a $4,000 school has Just been
erected in Raritan township. The
speaker estimated that property
values would drop nifty per cent as

said.
The argument has been 1sed by
certain Metuchen residents that they

fast line runs close { o this new site
I believe most Of the patients would
come by this route. The fact that
good water can be obtained on this
location is another good argument IN
favor of the site. I have not heard

in closing.

position being only what would be
expected from the people in the inn

several years ago nea New Bruns-

to II, the speaker said. and the idea
was given up. the workhouse being
