'~terests without rightful ownership.
The township committee at their
meeting Monday night were again
called upon to define the ownership
of a large strip of road leading from
a point in Florida Grove ave. Keas-
hey down to the Raritan river water
front. Mr.. Fee a life long resident
in Keasbey gave a historical account
of the road in question which dates
back to 1859 assuring the COM
mitteemen that the township has
more than a probable right to water
way frontage. The National Fire
proofing Company has the road at
the present under their control as
part of the large clay tract owned by
them, it is alleged.
Mr.. Fee said that many years ago
the question of ownership of that
strip of land vas called to the at
t~ention of the township who at that
time ordered the re-opening of a
