GREAT ACTIVITY
At APPROACH
TONEWB BRIDGE
Old DonneII Lumber Co. Prop
erty Scene of Work for
the New Span
OBSTRUCTION is ERECTED
But Does not Interfere with
Work on Contractors
House Moved
OBSTRUCTION is ERECTED

The old Donnell Lumber Com
pany property which for years has
been idle is today a picture of ac-
tivity. This is caused by the work
already underway on the new state
bridge which is to span the Raritan
river between this city and South
Amboy. A steam shovel is loading
dirt into wagons which cart 1T to
various parts of the tract which has
been taken over by the state, where
work is progressing rapidly on
twenty-one foot fill to be used as the
bridge approach. Pile drivers are
busy driving piling, both in the river
and on the land and saw mill adds
to the equipment. The moving of
large brick house from the course
of the bridge to a new spot is not
little task.
Yesterday the Donnell Lumber
Company, by setting three or four
posts in the ground, forme6 an OBJ
struction for the wagons carting
dirt to the fill. These posts We're
set on a triangular piece of land,
which the State Highway Commits
sion did not need for the bridge
approach and therefore was not
mentioned in the condemnation ac-
ton. The posts keep the wagons
from driving over this parcel of
ground, but do not interfere with
the work, as the commission still has
plenty of land for the movement of
the wagons.
The grading work is being done
by Graham & McKeon and will take
about year to complete. After the
Perth Amboy side of the approach
has been completed, work will begin
on the South Amboy approach. Due
to the long stretch of meadow land
on the South Amboy side of the
river a longer fill must be made, but
it is not believed that it will have to
be as high as that on this side of
the stream.
Stillman, Delehanty G. Ferris the
general contractors have a large
number of men at work and today
two pile drivers were in operation
and a third was under construction.
The driving of piling along river
front seemed to be easy, but short
ways from the water, where the sec
ond pile driver was at work, the
piling had to be struck much harder
blows in order to be sent home.
The activities are located at the
foot of Convery Place, between the
C. Pardee Works and the plant of
the National Fire Proofing Company.
Sheds and tool houses have been
erected on the property. Necessary
changes in the mort hshore division
OF the Central railroad are also being
made. Today the employees of the
National Fire Proofing Company
were bus ymoving hollow tile and
fire brick from the land which will
be utilized for the bridge approach.
