NEW BRUN&WICK, Feb. C.
Failure to have Amboy avenue IN

building ful!owit. on the request of
JOAN Bergo', sec, ctary of the Perth

the Ambo. avenue pavement be con-
sidarcd under the commissions re-
imbll semeEt plan.
The commission chairman declar-
cd that the state had allotted its
share for the carrying out of the
Amboy avenue work, and that the
county had done likewise. In addt-
ton to the statement Of Mr. Ber-
gen, a communication from Mayor

about IL miles. In regard to this
Mr.. Burton declared it was not nee
essary, action by the Perth Amboy
city council being all that is neces-
sary at this time. Director Dey OF
the county board, spoke along the
same lines as Mr.. Burton and as
serted that the freeholders are ready
to include this work on their 1922
schedule.
Lee Grover, secretary of tn State
Highway Commission. declared that
