STATE CAMPING SITE
FOR BOYS ARE PROMISED

TRENTON, Jan. Ex-Governor
Silzer yesterday suggested that the
10000 acres of land at High Point,
Sussex county, recently offered 10
the state by Mr.. and Mrs. Anthony
r. Kuser, Of Bernardsville. be ac-
cepted by the state and that
the land be made into a permanent
camping site for the various organ
izations interested in the training of
young people. There is a bill in the
legislature now, presented by SEN
ator Case. for the taking owe Of
the land and the creation Of a
three-man commission to supervise
the caring for the property.
Governor Silzer alluded to the
lands being the highest point in
the state, from which a superb view
or country in New York, New Jec-
sey and Pennsylvania could be had,
and hat the ground itself contains
beautiful country and abounds in
rich woodlands. The governor de-
clared that the land would be USE
ful as an outing ground but that
1t would be a shame" to limit 1t
solely to that purpose. For that rea
son, he said. he would advocate
that leases be granted to portions
or the ground to such organiza-
IONS as the Z. NJ. g. A, Knights Ut
Columbus, Y. M. H. A, Boy Scouts,
Rotary and like organizations for
camping purposes for boys. He said
that by giving leases to these organ
izations, it would encourage build
ing large camps and making some
effort to keeping the camps in oper-
alton. With leases, 1t was said. Civ
ing some assurance that the occu-
patton would be for sometime, It
would stimulate the adding to the
camps from year to year and by
having a large number of camping
sites, athletic rivalry would be Gre
ated between members of the dif-
ferent camps.

To FIX AVENEL STREET


AVENEL, Jan. 25:-Temporary
relief will be given the residents of
this section of Woodbridge shortly
over the conditions now existing in
Avenel street. For some time past
this street has been the cause Of
much complaint, not only to the town
ship COMMITTEES but: also to the free
holders. the street being a county
road. The poor. condition of the
street is due to a great extent to the
condition it was left in when the
township committe completed the
laying Of the sewer. Great piles Of
dirt taken from the excavation and
piled along the roadway make it al
most impossible.
Although the street belongs to the
county the township committee will
put it in condition temporarily, as it
was because of the township work
that the street has to be SO extern
sively repaired, it is said.

ter was finally referred to the at

the plan.
