Central Milk Co
 Does Growing Business

The Central Milk company, which began business in March, 1921, has made good with it's Superior brand of milk and milk products. This plant is operated by men of long experience in the dairy products business with special knowledge of butter making. They handle 2,000 gallons of milk per diem and their butter production runs to 300 and 600 pounds. They receive their milk daily in refrigerator cars fresh from farms at Lewisburg, Tenn. and re- tail it to satisfied customers. The butter fat, from which the butter is made, comes from various cream stations in Alabama. The Chicago market price Is paid for the butter fat and farmers have only to sepa- rate the cream and ship it to the Birmingham factory. The factory is located at 252s First avenue. It was built especially for the Cen
 tral Milk company, and the machinery was bought by men of long eX- perience in the business who knew what kind to get. The plant has been a success from the start and it's business continues to grow.

LEHIGH VALLEY CANCELS
ALL EXISTING EMBARGOES

a collection of all embargoes re-
stricting the movement of freight II
and out of New York or at any
point on its line, was announced to-
day by the Lehigh Valley Railroad
At the general offices it was said
that while recently freight had been
handled on permit basis, improved
conditions now warrant withdrawing
all restrictions.
Since the resumption of anthra-
cite mining last fall it was pointed
out. the Lehigh Valley has devoted
its energies TO a prompt handling OF
coal and TO the serving of the COM
munities which, because Of their To-
cation, were directly dependent up
on that railroad. This compelled the
plaC,IG of temporary embargoes on
other traffic, which have now been
entirely removed. The movement OF
anth-~cite viii in no way be affected
by this action aud it will be handled
promptly as heretofore.
Since the resumption Of mining
the Lehigh Valley has handled cur
rently total OF 6.S74.550 tons OF
anthracite. an increase Of ], ,429,76
tons cor-pared with the same period
last year and has been able to fus
nish the mines located on its liue

The murder. Albert Guimares. of
whom the tragic Broadway butterfly

SEE DEATH Of
PATENT PAVING
IN M|DDLESEX
FreehoIders Reported to be
Falling in Line With State
Highway Commission
CONCRETE is FAVORED
To Lay Patent Paving Would
Mean ''PoIiticaI Suicide"
to FreehoIders

NEW BRUNSWICK, March 10
Authentic and reliable renorts COM
ing from the county board of free
holders indicate that the Middlesey
county board is ready to fall in line
with the State Highway Commission
in its fight against patent pavings.
Any permanent pavements which
are to be laid in this county this year
will be of concrete construction with
no patent paving-particul War
renite-to add othe cost, accord
ing TO reports prevailing here.
Even in cases where the freehold
ers receive petitions asking for War
renite or other patent pavings, the
county board will ignore the requests
and lay concrete roads, it is indi-
Gated, as the patent paving inter
ests will be suspected of being be-
hind these particular petitions des-
ignating a certain type OF preferred
paving.
The county board has been at
work on the Middiesex road pr5-
gram for some time. this matter
being considered at length during
recent meetings and conferences
There seems to be no doubt as 20
policy which will be adopted by the
freeholders. To go ahead laying
patent payings at this time when
the general sentiment throughout
the state is against patent pavines
would be political suicide" for
those ordering the work done. ac-
cording to those who are well versed
in the road situation at the present
time, and the members of the coun-
ty board have no desire 10 raise
tas ire Of the voters by dealing with
patent pavings.
AS far as can be learned only one
permanent road improvement in the
county has been definitely decided
upon to date, it being that Of Avenel
street in Woodbridge township. All
nouncement of the complete 1928
road program is expected to be
forthcoming within a short time.

Some Action at Inst

The plans for the new bridge have
been approved by the federal gov
ernment and are ready to be adver-
tised for as soon as the signature OF
General Scott, president of the new
highway board, is secured. The
plans have been completed for sew
eral months and il the original in
tentions of the old highway board
had been carried out, bids on the
work would have been secured by
this time.
When the approval OF the plans
had been secured from the federal
government the old highway board
had been ousted and as a result
there was no one authorized to sign
the advertisement calling for bids.
With the appointment of new
board General Scott's signature to
the advertisement should again set
in motion the wheels of progress on
this big project.
1t is a question, however, whether
or not the inquiry into the purchase
OF the W. ]. Donnell Lumber Com
pany property, in Perth Amboy, for
use as a bridge approach by the for
mer highway board, will act to fur
ther hold up action on the bridge.
Inere may be a possibility that DluS
will not be advertised for until the
probe into the Donnell property pur-
chase is completed.
The new bridge will be of a suf-
hcient height to permit of many of
the boats which now must wait for
the draw to open to pass under with
plenty of headroom to spare. The
eed of the new structure is being
Relt more and more as the spring
and summer automobile traffic in
creases in volume and the traffic up
d down RaritaA river increases
Nh the opening up of the river.
The slow moving barges and tugs
cause considerable delay to trolleys,
buses and autos passing over the
bridge, as the draw is opened for a
considerable period each time boat
of any size desires to pass. During
the heavy traffic yesterday afternoon
the automobiles were lined up for
almost the entire length of the
bridge o neither side of the draw,
waiting for small tow to pass.
