AMBOY AVENUE
PLANS MADE
Work on Maintaining Present
Road Will Continue Soon
Paving to be Done
WILL COST $4,000
Work on Relocation Will be
Continued as Soon as Fill
Has Settled

Following a conference in Tren-
ton between city officials and the
State Highway Commission, City
Engineer Louis p. Booz, Jr., an
nounces that the commission has
decided to continue the construc-
tion of the new Amboy avenue road
as planned, and the work will be
continued on this section as soon as
the fill has become sufficiently set
tied to allow the paving to be laid
without danger of sinking. The COM
mission also desires to continue
traffic over the present road. known
officially as the Anboy avenue de-
tour, while this road is being re-
built.
Under the present plan of main
tanning traffic on this thoroughfare
according to City Engineer Booz.
one half of the detour will be built
at a time, that is, while one half of
the read is torn up, traffic will be
compelled to use the other half, and
after one half has been completed.
traffic will be switched to the new
section while the other half is torn
UP and relaid.
Should this scheme not prove
practicable, the commission plans TO
detour the traffic through the AL

city
The rebuilding of the Amboy ave-
nue. detour will be rushed in order
that the heavy summer traffic to the
shore resorts, which begins on
Memorial Day, may not be incon-
venienced for longer period of
time than is absolutely necessary.
The rebuilding of this thoroughfare
will cosl, it is estimated, at least $9,-
900, which expense will be met by
state funds. The surface of the new
road will be sheet asphalt.
Members of the highway commits
sion, for the time being will not
push the construction of the propos-
ed new highway connecting Spa
Spring road with Cleveland avenue,
which will be a more direct route
to the new state bridge. However
they are of the opinion that this
route, which has been planned across
the Henry Maurer property by the
city plan commission, is the ideal
route to the new bridge and will no
doubt consider the building of this
thoroughfare after work on the new
bridge has been started.
Those who attended the confer
ence in Trenton, which was held on
Tuesday were: Alderman-at-larse
Richard j. Calvin. Alderman Albert
G. Waters, Alderman Benjamin A.
Riedy and City Engineer Booz.

WATER ACTION
At CONFERENCE
Woodbridge Township Off,
ciaIS Confer With Water
/ Company
RELIEF Is IN SIGHT
Water From Perth Amboy
Available and May be Used
in That Section

FORDS, May 10--Conferences are
being held today between the water
committee of the Woodbridge town
ship committee and officials of the
Middlesex Water Company, which
supplies the water pressure for this
vicinity. The purpose of the confer
ence is to take up the water COM
plants which have stirred the resi-
dents for many months and to reach
a decision as to remedying the exist
ing situation.
According to Albert Larsen, COM
mitteeman from this district, the
water company has hinted that they
were unable to give the water pres
sure desired. Mr.. Larson said that
the company admitted that the water
pressure was low and in the last few
days have offered several PROPOSE
tions.
The recent suggestion as to
whether the residents of Fords would
agree to use water coming from the
Perth Amboy Water Works is re-
ceiving attention. The water Off
Gals, according to Mr.. Larson, de-
olared they were unable to secure
all the water pressure they need
from the neighboring city, and If the
people would agree on it, future
water shortage repetitions would not
occur. The water company also said
that the Perth Amboy water is soft
pr than that coming from the present
sources and the residents should not
object to their plan.
Mr.. Larson said this morning that
the water company has two large
tanks on the Bloomfield hills aver
aging approximately thirty to thirty
five feet in height. They are situ-
ated on the highest sea level point in
the county, Mr.. Larson said. Ac-
cording to his survey the tanks lay
on a 265 foot above sea level. On a
recent inspection both tanks which
supply the Fords district, were
almost empty. Although the tanks
would probably hold n million gall
Ions of water when filed, Mr.. Lar
son said that he found about a three
foot gravity pressure in one, while
the other reservoir had no more
than one foot.
Here Committeeman Larson point
ed out that F'ords is 179 feet above
the sea level and whenever the tanks
are even partly filled the water pres
sure should be good at all times.
Committeeman Larson believed
that the recent suggestion to get
water pressure from Perth Amboy
should meet with the approval of
the people. He felt that under these
circumstances the usual complaints
could be easily avoided. He himself
favored 1t, but before any definite ac-
ton is to be taken by the township
committee, Mr.. Larson said a pub
lie hearing will be held for that
DuFpOse
