PLEA 5 MADE
ON SIDEWALKS
Western Improvement Asso-
citation Appears Before
FreehoIderS

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. a.
A delegation of members of the
Western Improvement Association OF
Perth Amboy appeared before the
freeholders yesterday and formally
requested that the county body pro-
vide for sidewalks on the Convery
place bridge to care for the traffic
of pedestrians from one section OF
the city to the other.
MAIDS J.. Dinesen as spokesman, de-
clared hat since the building of the
structure ten years ago, that We
hicular traffic has increased to such
an extent as to make the bridge I'M
safe for pedestrians. In support
ing the claim of the association of
the need of walks, Mr.. Dinesen ad.
vised the freeholders that during
the heavy weekend traffic between
a. 900 and $1,000 vehicles crossed
the bridge.
The speaker also stated that the
grade crossing elimination work In
that city would cause a great deal
of additional traffic to be diverted
through Convery place, and he re-
~quested that the project be given
early consideration so that work on
the walks might be started early in
spring.
Freebooter Walter G.. Quacken-
bush has advocated this improve
ment for some time past and has re-
quested the freeholders to consider
the building of steel extensions az
either side of the bridge to carry
concrete walks and guard rails, as
these additions were contemplated
and provided for when the structure
was designed.
The request was referred to tho
entire board for consideration when
making up their budget for 1924.
