REPORT ON ROADS

Salem, n. j., April II, 1928.
To the Board of Chosen Freeholders
of the County of Salem.
Gentlemen:
We, your Road Committee, desire to
make the following report.
Route 6, Section 10
State Highway System
characterization
A letter has been received from Mr..
Williams, Division Highway Engineer,
which reads as follows:
after making an inspection of
Route No. 6, Section 10, I find this job
is far from being ready for acceptance
by this Department.
"The contract calls for a road with
a graded width of 50 feet or over.
At a great number of places the road
is four feet narrower than this, par
t~icularly noticeable where the guard
rail exists.
81 also find that most of the bitches
have been filled up and a great num-
Der of pipes are more than half full of
sand. A number of trees that have
been cut down, have simply been
dumped over on the side where they
are very unsightly and will soon wash
down into the road.
At places where bridges are built
no attempt has been made to clean up
the rubbish that naturally accumulates
during the building and on one of the
bridges, I noticed some marks show
ing considerably palmer than called
for in u contract.
There also appears to be a number
of settlements in the road surface,
which | believe are excessive, consid-
ering the requirements of the contract
for placing the material in layers in
order to consolidate the dirt while the
road is under construction.
81 would suggest that you require
the contractors to complete the work
more in accordance with the plans, as
I assure you the State Highway Com
mission would not accept the road as
it now stands. if they were to accept
The contractor has been notified to
do the necessary work.

The County Engineer has been in
formed by telephone that this contract
has been approved by the State High

working in a satisfactory manner.
