More improvements


the question of a water supply was
taken UP at the meeting of the
Township Committee here last
night, Committeeman William Hoy,
declared that he favored a municipal
water supply for the township.
Township Attorney j. H. Thayer

| would cost too much money. 1t
was announced however that the
water committee is working with
twenty-six other municipalities in
order to improve the water situa-
ton. A conference Is pending be-
tween the officials of Woodbridge
and Carteret to discuss the matter,
as the water demands of the two
municipalities are similar and what
will benefit one will also benefit the
other.

AS a number of the residents
along Barron avenue were present,
but did not know whether they de-
sired concrete or asphalt paving,
the awarding of the contracts was
put oft until the next meeting, when
the residents will present a petition
to the committeeman informing
them in this way what the most
desire in the way of pavement on
that thoroughfare.
Mrs. Moffett and her sister of King
Georges road, were present and OBJ
| jected to the section of the Fords
sewer which will be installed near
their property. AS it was shown
that the only way the sewer can be
correctly installed is by following
the proposed map the ordinance was
passed over their objections.
The contracts for the installation
of sewers on Second. Third, Fourth
and Fifth streets, Fords, were award
ed to the lowest bidders.
A new ordinance was ordered pre-
pared on the Mereline avenue sew
er in Avenel.
A delegation heaoed by Howard
A. Tappen, protested against granting

Works to operate the old Sepoy plant

authorized to communicate with the
concern and inform them that the
application failed to meet with the
approval of the committee.
An ordinance was ordered drawn
up for the granting of a piece of
land in Railway avenue to the Wood
bridge Lumber Company. The
company offers to give the Township
right of way through the property
for sewers and $3.50 besides. The
ordinance will also grant a piece of
land in Green street to the Kruger
Company. A hearing will be held
on the ordinance on July 23 and il
is expected that considerable oppos-
ition will be made by the residents
who would rather have the land
retained by the Township and used
to widen the road and sidewalk.
