MOVE To HAVE
NEW ROAD SIGNS
State Highway Engineer
Wants Cooperation of
Counties in Marking Roads

TRENTON, Dec. AS a result
of sentiment expressed by county
engineers in recent meetings N
Bridgeton, State Highway Engineer
Thomas J. Wasser has sent a COM
munication to each of the county
engineers asking them to cooperate
with the highway board in ade-
quately marking the roads of the
state with proper signs giving di-
rections. In order to insure finances
to supply the signs, Engineer Was
ser has also asked the county au-
thorities to advise the members of
the highway commission having jur-
isdiction in their respective local
tiles, just how much money each
county will appropriate for road
signs within the counties in order
that the commission may supply a.
similar amount. The county Off
Gals are requested to submit their
estimates in time for an agreement
to be reached which will enable the
counties to include their portions of
the expense in their 1923 budgets.
Under an act passed in 1911, the
state road department is authorized
to expend at least $4,000 a year
for the posting of proper signs and
it is to ascertain just what the
counties will add to this that Mr..
Wasser's letter has been sent.
Il also feel" said Wasser's letter
that the Sign Committee of the
County Engineers Association
should Immediately s~tandardize a
sign as to the size and colors to be
used, as it is desirable to have SIM
ilarity throughout the state. For
your information, Mr.. A. Fl. Nell
son of Atlantic county, has gone in
to this matter quite extensively and
L am sure if your sign committee
gets in touch with Mr.. Nelson the
matter may be disposed of very
readily. The State Highway De-
partment has already adopted the
colors used by Atlantic county for
the balance of the state highway
known as the White Horse Pike,
which passes through Camden
county"
The colors adopted on this route
are orange and black.

ROAD
READY JAN. |
So Says State Highway En-
gineer--Top Dressing to
be Rushed

If present weather conditions
continue the paving of the Lincoln
Highway between New Brunswick
and Metuchen is expected to be
completed by the end Of this month,
according to information received
over the telephone today by the
Evening News from Construction
Engineer G. F. Bedwell of the State
Highway Commission in Trenton.
Mr.. Bedwell declared there was no
truth in the report that cinders
would be placed over the concr~te
foundation of the road so that traf-
fic might use it in case 1t became
too cold to finish the spreading of
the top dressing of warrenite.
According to Mr.. Bedwell there
is 1000 feet Of the warrenite u r.
face still to be placed and this work
is going on as rapidly as possible.
The concern laying this surface is
just as anxious as the State High
way Commission to get this high
way completed and ready for traffic,
but will not attempt to lay the top
surface when the weather condi-
tions are not suitable, for should the
surface go bad it has to be relaid
at the expense of the firm doing the
Y Jrk, declared Mr.. Bedwell.
The warrenite can be laid if the
weather continues as it is today, but
should a storm come up or a cold
high wind start blowing, the work
will have to be stopped, as these
weather conditions the war
renite to cool before it can be COM
pletely rolled and this would cause
a defect in the pavement.
Should the weather become such
that the remaining 1000 feet of
pavement cannot be put down, Mr..
Bedwell declared that traffic one
way would be allowed to use the
completed side of the pavement,
while traffic in the other direction
would be sent over the Bonham-
town detour.
