Highway Body
PROTECT ITS EQUITY

! TRENTON, Oct. 12.-In a
statement issued today, John W.
Herbert, of Helmetta, who was
chairman of the so-called Edge
State Highway Commission gave
forth a vigorous explanation and
answer to the recent claim OF the
present highway board in which
the latter declared that the Edge
commission failed to properly
safeguard state interests in the
construction of a roadway on
private property. The specific
charge was that the former state
highway body spent some $751;
600 on a road in South Amboy,
for which it failed to obtain a
deed from the Pennsylvania
Railroad, owners of the land,
upon which the road was built.
The present Edwards Highway
Commission now says it will be nee
essary for it to start condemnation
proceedings to get the land involved
unless it agrees to pay the Pennsyl-
vania the sum Of $4,000 for two
bridges which span the road. Mr..
Herbert in his answer today. says
that in the event of such = proceed
ing it is assumed that rhe railroad
company will take steps to protect
tits equity which he values at not
less than $4,000 and declares that
in the end the state will pay that
amount instead of the $4,000 for
which the rights could be acquired
under the agreement originally
made with the Pennsylvania by the
Edge commission.
MI. Herbert further charges that
political effect" is what the pres
emit Highway Commission is endeav-
oring to create by attacking it's pre-
decessors in office just before an
election.
Recently Herbert had published
in various newspapers of the, state
a series of articles in which he Wig
orously attacked the present COM
mission ana openly charged them
with squardering a million dollars
in road construction in several coun
