R. R. CROSSING
SAFETY URGED
FreehoIders Want Gates at
Two Points Along amde
and Amboy Division

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. 23.-An
effort is to be made by the Board of
F~reeholders to secure a more ade-
Quate protection to the travelling
public at two of the most dangerous
grade crossings in the county, which
have been the scenes of many acct
dents. by requesting the installation
of gates.
The crossings of the Camden &
Amboy division at East Spotswood
and Old Bridge were declared to be
very dangerous spots by the county
fathers yesterday, when they refused
permission to the PENNSYLVANIA Rail
road Company to install warming
signals at those points.
When the application of the rail-
road company was up for considera-
tion 1t was generally agreed tina tie
erection of the warning signs would
prove a decided advantage, but when
the proposition was put to a vote,
Freebooter Walter G. ~Quakenbuseh
opposed 1t and declared that the
freeholders should be satisfied with
nothing less than gates at these i'm
portant crossings.
The Perth Amboy freeholder's OPP
Unions prevailed after a full discus
sion and the freeholr&rs then voted
Unanimously In favor of gates, and
Thomas j. Mulvihill the clerk Of the
board was directed to inform the
railroad company, that in the free
holders opinion gates should be in
stalled as the only effective means
fof preventing further accidents at
those points.
A supplemental contract was au-
.4fhnriyad in nnnnnnffan with Tho

stional concrete work and drain in

sordered renewed for six months and
.fCounty Treasurer Hilker was au-
3thorized to borrow $45, 900 in antici-
Itpation of taxes.
Director Dey advised that author
lily had been granted to the automo-
bile association to erect a warning
signal at the dangerous curve at
FPumptown corner, as requested last
week by residents of that vicinity.
The road committee was instruct
led to clean out q culvert on West
avenue, Sewaren, complained of by
I'M. Irving Demarest as the cause of
the flooding of lands of the Sewaren
a~estates.
A petition from the residents of
the new development at Iselin re-
uuested the freeholders to take over
Middlesex venue from the Lincoln
Highway to the Oak Tree road, the
request being referred to the road
committee for consideration.
Freebooter Applegate reported
that the borough of Sa%yreville au-
thorities would cooperate with the
county officials in ordering the on
