AVENEL STREET
REPAIRS SEEN
Mayor Neuberg and Citizens
urge FreehoIderS to Fix
Road--Work Likely

manent road surface on AVenel

BILE over the majority of its one ana
a third miles. between Railway ave-
nue. and st. Georges avenue.
Serious consideration was given to
the appeal by the county fathers
who recently inspected the road. Al
though no decision was arrived at
it is expected that the rebuilding OF
this road will be included in the 1873
roadbuilding schedule. A dennlte
stand on the question was promised
bv the freeholders before the town
ship committee meets week from
next Monday.
The existing conditions as pointed
out by the officials and the taxpayers
of the community have seriously re-
tarded the development Of nome
sites, though it was freely predicted
that the building of the road would
tend to cause a rapid development IN
the Avenel section.
Oscar Wilkinson, general manager
of the Steel Equipment Company,
informed the freeholders that 1T was
the purpose of the company to eX-
pand the capacity of the present
plant and provide for the employ
ment of 500 men, providing a suit
able road was laid over which the
S1,300,000 products of the plant
manufactured annually could be
trucked to the metropolitan district.
The three plants of the company,
according to speaker, have recently
been concentrated at Avenel, and
not only a big expansion in the
business is to be provided for, but
elaborate home development plans
for the housing of the workmen is
to be worked out, if the present i'm
rassable road, which is a series of
mud holes, is repaired.
Mathew Smith and Harry Wolfe
of the Avenel Improvement Com
pany, also asserted that the present
road conditions prevented them
from continuing their plans Of home
building, though If suitable road
was built providing a means of en-
tering their property, they would in
vest 100000 annually in the erec-
tion of houses.
'Avenel street is one of the most
important connecting links in the
township, and any relief afforded the
residents in that vicinity would be
appreciated" declared Committee
man William Hoy, land I feel that
1t is one of the most important ones
TO be considered by your board this
year.
