The action was approved by the
board. This Is the second concrete
road constructed by the freeholders
through the action of Mr.. Vanden-
bergh who has been n member OF
the body n little over a year n
seems TO be the type favored by
the residents in the southern section
of the county.
Though about 100000 worth of
new WORK is expected to be done
this year the action taken yester-
day was the first intimation OF
what roads are to be improved. the
road schedule for the year has been
completed and 1t is expected thai

ers will announce the balance OF the
localities that are to receive perma-
nent roads.

ported that the pavement on pam
field avenue which was laid ABOUT

holes and was in need Oh I'M
mediate repairs. This road surface
carried a five-year guarantee wnicn
has not vet expired and the Weloeh
Construction Company. who laid n
surface will be notified to atteno 10
the matter at once.
Breaks in the surface or WASH
ington road near South River were
allied to the boards attention by
Geogre s. Apologize and
the Riddle Contracting Company Will
notified to make repairs.
The Jersey Central Traction Com
many will also be instructed to
make repairs between their rails on
avenue. at which point
Director William s. Dey asserted. the
pavement is badly worn.
Nine applications for permission
TO open county roads for the pur-
nose of making gas connections were
and referred to County
Solicitor Frederick F. Richardson
and Road Supervisor John Liesen.
one application was for Amboy ave-
nue. in Raritan township from>Liddle
to the Metuchen borough line
while the remainder were along the
Old Bridge turnpike at South River.
In all cases the mains are to be iaio
the side Of the road and Will
not disturb the pavements.
Two more convictions which car
ried fines of twenty-five dollars each
were reported by Assistant Inspector
of Weights and Measures Joseph
Fertig. The reports of Mr.. Ferug
and Nathan Robins. the sealer, 1oi
the month of March, indicated that
over 1000 inspections were MADE.
The two stores for which convic-
tons were obtained were nam
stores OF New Brunswick. one the
James Butler Company and the
other the American Stores Company.
In the former case a noticeable
shortage was found in one pound
packages of sugar, while the other
was for shortages of several ounces
in pound packages of butter.
