considerable money to put the street
in repair. Also it was pointed out
that this is the only stretch of county
road between Keyport, Freehold and
Farmingdale not now paved with
concrete. 1t was finally decided, on
motion of Harry G. Borden. to have
County Engineer Allen make a sur
vey, plans and specifications for paw
ing the street, the plans to call for
~concreting from curb to curb from
the railroad tracks at the Matawan
station to the Holmdel road and for
twenty feet in width from that point
to Freneau, connecting with the
present concrete road.
County Engineer Allen. on mo-
ton of Mr.. Borden, was directed TO
make a survey map of certain prop
critics at Keyport which it is pro-
posed to take over to construct a
road leading from Broadway, Key
port, to the K~eansburg road.
