made of every expenditure.
ROAD CONDITIONS.
Due to the tremendous growth in
vehicular traffic there has been an
unparallel demand for county roads.
When we realize that in 1906 there
were only $4,000 automobiles regis
tered in the State of New Jersey and
that today there are we'll I'VE 400
600, we get some idea of the tre-
mendouS increase in autom obiles. A
traffic count On the Albany Street
Bridge, New Brunswick in 1919
showed 1881 vehicles passing over
the bridge between the hours of
600 A. NJ. and 1900 2. NJ. For the
same period this year, on October G,
1928, $40 vehicles crossed the
bridge, a gain of 401 per cent. in
four years. Nineteen cars a minute
passed over the bridge on the date
mentioned during a minimum hour.
Faced with this situation the
Board of Freeholders were COM
PEELED to embark on an extensive
road building program. Thus taxi
ing it for granted that no one seri-
ously disputes the necessity of good
roads the only question to be solved
is the method of building and he
cost.
Our road building has been guild
ed by two great underlying princi-
pies. The first is that there should
be every effort made to have the
most competition possible in the
bidding and the lowest price consist
emit with good road building be Sc
cured. The second is that the peo-
pie of the locality petitioning for the
road should have considerable to
say as to what type of roads should
be built because they are familiar
with the local traffic conditions. In
no known case has a particular type
of road p%etitioned for by the tax
payers ever been refused.
Our Board has laid every known
standard type of road. 1t has not
favored one road over another. The
public mind at the present time ia
vors concrete and our Board is
pledged to a concrete road building
program, and all our roads this year
are concrete. The competition has
been so keen that on some bids as
high as s contractors from all owe
the state of New Jersey have COM
peted for the work. The great va
riety of the contractors securing the
work proves beyond a doubt that
there has been no favoritism of any
kind in the awarding of the work,
but that every contract has been
awarded to the lowest bidder and
such bidder has been compelled to.
file a bond in the sum of 100 per
cent. of the total cost conditioned for
its proper construction and condi-
toned for four years maintenance.

The Hero.

The cold wet water. brown with
mud. swept DER the plain, a raging
flood; like ocean waves the pillows
reared. once happy homes had dis
appeared and wreckage drifted
down the tide, in Oklahoma's coun-
tryside. 1t was a time to seek the
heights, and there assembled many
wights, who shivered in the rainy
blast, and talked of records of the
past. 1t was a time to fear the
worst. and hold the motto, Safety
First" But Old Jess Willard, bent
and bowed by age that wrapped
him like a shroud, climbed up no
trees or mountains high to keep his
feet and whiskers dry. Where there
were people in distress. there
wrought and toiled the noble Jess.
Through water gray and grim and
damp he bore the sufferers to camp ;
his mighty form went sloshing
through the deep ravine. the surg
ing slough, and eyes despairing saw
him grope. and weary souls were
filled with hope. He saved that day
a dozen lives; he rescued cousins,
aunts and wives. and pulled scared
farmers out of trees, amid those
wild fresh water seas. Oh, Jess may
whip this man or that. or by the
foe be tumbled fat, but he has
won himself a crown no pugilist
can batter down. In times to come
the bards will sing this greatest
hero of the ring

CAN SERVE TWO PURPOSES
Ornamental Trees Should Be Planted
With a View to the Comfort of
Feathered Friends.

Planting Of ornamental trees can be
done In such a II that 1t will
serve both ornamental purposes and
the conservation of bird life. according
to authorities in the department of city
forestry at the New York State Col
lege of Forestry, Syracuse university.
Prof. Alan f. Arnold says that own
ers in planting trees, shrubs and vines
might profitably take into considera-
ton the idea Of growing plants that
Will attract birds. inasmuch as the
possibility exists of many Of our ma
tive birds disappearing for lack Of
food and shelter, and that birds are
always welcome in every out-of-door
place.
The list of trees, shrubs and vines
attractive to birds includes many of
our most ornamental plants. There
is no more valuable evergreen tree for
red cedar; 1t also provides the best
shelter and nesting sites for birds,
while they obtain food from the ber-
ries and insects commonly found on
the tree.
The native Towering dogwood and
the Chinese crabapple are two particu-
'larly beautiful trees hat are favorites
with the birds. The gray-stemmed dog
wood, honeysuckle, American elder and
sheepberry are also servlceable to the
birds, as well as ornamental. The Vir-
ginia creeper, one of the most popular
vines, furnishes nesting sites and
draws the attention of the birds away
from grapes, apples and peaches.
IF one has a place where plants of
a wilder sort can be introduced" said
Professor Arnold. land wishes to make
a special point of attracting birds,
there is a great variety of native plants
that could not perhaps be used for
more finished effects. but here would
be just the thing"

ORNAMENTS FOR THE GARDEN
Essentials That Are Of a Great Deal
More Importance Than Arc GEN.
orally Considered.

Many beautifully arranged gardens in
which the color and performance OF
the plants r beyond reproach lack a
certain sparkle. a definite point of in
%terest, which may be supplied with a
well-placed bit of ornament or u
grouping of furniture. The ornament
may be anything from a pair of warm
toned, gracefully shaped. yet inexpen-
sive terra Gotta Jars, to a finely de-
signed sundial or bird-bath. The fur
niture, depending upon the character
Of the garden, may be anything from u
simple bench of stained oak to a smart
and stylish array of painted-wood or
French-iron chairs, settees and tables.
OF course. It is advisable in any in
stance to give the article some SEM
blance Of being used or. at least, US
able. The urn might hold a plant suit
able to its shape and color; the sun
dial should indicate the time with a
fair degree OF accuracy; the bird-bnth
should be one in which birds will be
apt to battle In their delightful. fiut-
tering way, and the furniture should
be comfortable and inviting. Yet
things will always be essentially dec
orative. Their usefulness should be
shared ~ an equal amount of beauty
and appropriateness.
