opponent of the proposal to repave

york of the former commission i'll
lree years time. Mr.. Burton re-
fefred to the great burdens of eN-
pense removed from the shoulders
of the citizens by the paving work
carried out by the com mission dur
ing the past two years, and declared

ment has been set aside for the

County seat talk today is to the
EJECT that no MiddleseX county
legislator will introduce the bill
providing for the annexation of
Sewaren by Perth Amboy in the
legislature tonight. 1t is pointed
out. however. that unless the bill be
introduced at tonights session it
cannot be done at this session with
out the unanimous consent of both
houses and speculation is rife over
the matter.
The general feeling here is that
the bin will go through once it is
introduced. The member &C either
house to bring up the proposition
seems to be entirely a matter of
rumor but it has been stated on
good authority thac no MiddleseE
man will introduce the bill, and
that it will be submitted by South
Jersey member of the legislature.
