IMPROVING THE
NEARBY ROADS

West Amwell Township is maca-
damizmg the Brunswick Road from
the Lambertville city limits to n
point just beyond 7 aomas h, Hunts
farm, where the previous macadam
work left off. The road within the
city limits IS N very lad share, but
movement VIII probably be maize
next year to have this section mprov-
ed Many believe ii duty owing 20
the West Amwe Township people
who have built really good road for
considerable distance out the old
Brunswick pike, and will build more if
there is any local cooperation.
Ii the Improvement of the Bluns-
wick Road is oHee competed between
Lambertvlle and HONEYWELL it Will
prove a highly popular drive, owing
to its direetness and scenic beauty.
West Amwell Township has maca-
damized from the Lambertville city
limits to the High Valley SCHOOL,
house, and some section further on.
1t is also maeadamized from the Har-
bourbon Rocktown Road intersection
to Woodsville and all the way through
Hopewell Township. The short sec
ton from Woodsville to the Hopewell
Township line is about to he stoned,
it is understood, crusher having
been set up at that point. Parts of
the unstoned sections betweem Woods
vile and High Valley school are in
bad condition, due to the washing of
recent heavy rains, and it is not rec'
commended at present for through
touring.
The greatest improvement this year
to any one road in this section has
been to the river rond between New
Hone and Morrisville. From Nor
risville to Yardley and Washington
Crossing the road has all been stoned
ard covered with asphaltic oil, provid-
ing fine driving surface. The work
is proceeding from Washington
Crossing toward New Hope, which
was gravelled last fall.
Many local travellers have been
disappointed in this route, through
the error of following the trolley line
from New Hope to Yardley. At
Stony Brook, just below the Browns
burg sub-station, the River Road
river bank all the way to Morrisville,
river bank all thew ay TO Morrisvillc,
affording beautiful scenic route, and
every bit of the road good, There is
another stone road from Yardley TO
Monisvile, following the trolley line,
but this is away from tn eriver
Another route, near Lambertville,
little known, but in good condition. is
in Hopewell Township, south of Lam
bertville. Turning to the left at the
cross-road at Ttusvillc, to the left to
the Bear Tavern Halbourton road,
thence to the right TO the Harbourton-
Pennington road, affords Il conven-
Pennington station, affords conven-
lent and good route to that town. BY
turning to the left Just before cross
ing the railroad, it affords a direct
route to Glenmore and Hopewell. A
still shorter route from Lambertville
to Pennington is to turn to the left
at Moore's station, to the left at the
foot of the mountain, TO the right ut
Harbourton school, and TO the left ut
the Pennington Road. There is two
miles of dirt road on this route, in
fairly good shaue, and the stone sec
tions are very good.

POLITICAL FIELD
IN HUNTERDON

Hunterdon politics are simmering
rapidly toward the boiling point, with
the climax in sight about primary
election day.
AS might have been expected, SHEER
if Arthur w. England is the main
bone Of contention, being candidate
for the office of freeholder, for which
the present Republican member. John
j. Horn, is also an aspirant.
Whether friend or foe every Hun
terdon countian comedies that Arthur
w. England has kept steadily in the
limelight for three solid years, be-
rated by enemies and commended by
friends, so that he is a power to
reckon with.
Mr.. Horns honesty is not question
ed, but there is lot of feeling over
the county that the present deplorable
condition of the county's macadam
roads is largely due to the present
Board of Freeholders, who abandoned
the oiling of the roads and reverted to
waterbound work, which has proven
a complete failure. Whether justly
or unjustly, Mr.. Horn is being blamed
this year, and John C. Haynes will be
blamed next year.
Sheriff England declares that if he
is nominated and elected, he will de-
mand modern and efficient methods
of road maintenance. He also states
that he will personally visit and in-
spect all bridge and road construct
ion, in addition to the regular super
vision required by law, and that he
will insist that it be properly done.
The Democrats are largely support
ing George N. Robinson, present
county treasurer, in the fneeeholder
fight, and he is regarded as a strong
man in his party. Joseph Sutterley,
of Lambertville, is also an aspirant
for the Democratic nomination, and
while he will run good where known,
Is comparative stranger to a large
section of the county.
Mr.. England is opposed by all the
would-be bosses in his party, who
cannot support a man who doesn't
give a rap for"the good of the party"
Mr.. Horn, on the other hand, unques-
tionably has the support of the reg
,,lu,.e - M EnuIanJ,, Fr,an,I, nnint
out, however, that he had the same
opposition three years ago when he
cleaned up the field in the fight for
sheriff.
The fight for sheriff will lie be-
tween Thomas b. Hampton, on the
Republican side, and William B. Wean
on the Democratic, unless some new
candidates appear in the field. The
political prophets in the upper end Of
the county who have been pretty sue
ccssful in their forecasts the past few
years, say that it will be England and
Wean at the top, both in the primar-
les and at the general election, while
some who profess TO have Inside" in
formation. declare it will be Hamp-
ton and Robinson, while still third
faction say it will be Horn and Wean.
The Assembly fight will probably
be real ladylike, with each candidate
hoping the other fellow will be 1.-The
goat" Considerable patriotism is re-
quired to make this $500 a year job
seem worth vigorous campaign.
The present Democratic member,
Frank H. Welsh, would like to round
out three years on the job, and up to
the present time there is no Repub-
lican candidate opposing. There does
not seem to be any objection to Mr.
Welsh, excepting that he is never
heard of excepting at election time.

The Lehigh Valley Railroad is now
