Hunterdon County's Organization
Falls Behind in Receipts and
Has Old Deficiency.
BIG CONTRIBUTORS ARE GONE

For several years past, Hunterdon
County has been conducting rural Y.
NJ. c. A. work, which is directed by
a county committee elected at the an
nual convection held each year the
beginning of April. This work has
received loyal financial support from
almost all sections of the county.
Last year, however, the money raised
was not sufficient to pay all of the
expenses, so that at the beginning of
the year, April l. 1922, there was a
debt of $3.50 for current expenses
carried into the new year.
During the present year ending
April /, 1928, the work has lost the
support of several large contributors
through death and removal. Unless
the friends of this work rally to its
support, the present year will close
with an Indebtedness of over $4,000.
The situation is so serious that the
committee will be under the necessity
of considering either curtailing or
disseminating the work altogether, If
this shortage is not made up before
April /.
Anyone who is familiar with the
benefits that accrue to the boys of
our county as result of this work
would be loath to see it discontinued.
Lambertville, in particular, has fallen
very much short of the amount of
money that should be raised from
this section during the present year.
and all those persons vino have not
contributed or who are able to make
an additional contribution should
rally to the support of this worthy
cause.
A statement showing the present
financial condition is given below, and
contributions can be sent to any Of
the Lambertville members of the
county committee. The members

COMPLAINTS OF
BAD HIGHWAY
People Using North Main Street,
Lambertville, Directing to Ito
Present Poor Condition.
MUDHOLES ARE AXLE DEEP

Lambertyille.-Res of Stock
ton and Delaware Township are bit
terly eriticizing the City Commission
for the condition of North Main
Street, below Alexauken bridge,-and
they are justifiable in the criticism.
The condition of this stretch of
street mot road, because it lies within
the city limits) is indescribable. To
call it a ''hog wallow" would be put
ting it mildly. The bog holes in it
are worse than the shell-torn roads
of France. A ear cannot pass thru
it except on low gear, and wheels
mire in so deep that the axles drag.
But the almost impossible condition
of this stretch of Lambertville street
is not the main cause of the criticism
of Stockton and Delaware Township
residents. The chief cause of their
complaint is that the average user of
the street thinks it a part of the Del
aware Township roads, and Delaware
Township officials are blamed for its
condition.
The Stockton road from Alexauk-
en- bridge was repaired last summer
at the expense of Delaware Town.
ship. The contract is not yet COM
pleted as there is an additional sur
facing to go on it. But it is, never
theless a good road. Also the county
has repaired Alexauken bridge at
great expense. BUT LAMBERT
WILLIE HASN'T SPENT A DOLLAR
FOR PERMANENT IMPROVE
MENT ON NORTH MAIN STREET
BETWEEN CHERRY STREET AND
THE ALEXAUKEN BRIDGE IN
ALL IT'S HISTORY!
And all the expense of the county
and Delaware Township is set at
nought by the fact that this connect
ing link is in such deplorable condi-
tion. And at the same time Delaware
Township has been receiving the
bIunt of the blame for this deplorable
condition.
Lambertyille city limits have ex-
tended to Alexauken Bridge since
1S49-for "a years North Main street
between Cherry and Alexauken
Bridge has been city street But
those who have had to wallow thru
the muck there would hardly have
thought it was a city street.
It was hoped that when the as
phaltic paving was laid onNorth Main
street last year, that something
would be done to this quag-mire. But
not So Funeral eorteges to Riverview
Cemetery have presented pitiful
appearance in negotiating this stretch
of mo mans land" It's wonder
that the dear departed who have
been trundled thru this muck have not
turned over in their collins,
No wonder Pennington gets so
much Delaware Township trade! You
cannot blame people for stunning
such streets. And they cannot get in
to Lambertville without gash'ng tires
and breaking springs by ploughing
thru this deplorable mud hole.
This section of street lies on high
ground. 1t could be easily drained. 1t
is only about 1900 feet long, and
good maeadam surface could be put
on it for approximately $500. This
much money would be regained in a
month by the Lambertville merchants
who are now losing trade because
of its impassability.

HAS THE CITY OF LAMBERTVILLE
ANY PUBLIC SPIRITED CITIZENS!
Stockton Reader This Paper Raises the Interesting Question and
Says That People in Community viii Help Lambertvtle
Hospital When Ii Opens Up For Public Service


What is "Public-Spirited Cfti-
zen?" Would you know one if you
met him in the middle of the road :?
Would you see one if you looked in
your mirror2 Would other people see
one if they looked at you?
These are very pertinent ques-
tons. Because no community ever
amounts To whoop in a whirlwind
if it has no public-spirited citizens!
So in order to answer the question
fairly, We referred to the 1923 edi-
tion of Webster's New International
Dictionary. Here is what it says;
public SPIRITED Having, or
exercising, on showing, disposition
to advance the interest of the COM
muuity or public"
Do you have disposition to adj
vance the interest of your eommunt
ity? Are You exercising disposition
to advance the interest of your COM
munity? Do you show "A disposition
to advance the interest of the COM
munity?
IL YOU SHOULD DIE TONIGHT,
COULD YOUR FELLOW CITIZENS
SAY THAT YOU HAD LEFT THE
COMMUNITY BETTER FOR HAV-
ING LIVED IN IT?
