KING GEORGES
ROAD MEETING
Conference Tomorrow Morn
ing of Woodbridge Officials
to Decide on Future Action
REPAIRS COST $4,000
Want State or Contractors to
Make Extensive Repairs to
Much Used FordS Road

WOODBRIDGE, Nov. 1S.-After
a lengthy discussion on the subject
of repairing King Georges Road
from outer Main street to New
Brunswick avenue, Fords, the town
ship committee last night decided to
hold conference tomorrow morn
ing in Senator Morgan F. Larson's
office at which time the contractors
on the road will be in attendance
and ways and means of repairing the
road will be talked over.
Although the contractors MAIN
tenance bonds have now expired, the
township committee members point
out that the contractors never have
made any repair to the road since it
was laid. Committeeman William
Hoy. of Fords, asked for an estimate
of the cost of repairs at this time.
Franklin Buchanan, representing the
township engineer, said it would cost
about $4,000 to do this work as
there were many bad spots along the
entire length of the road.
M. Irving Demarest, of Sewaren
and I. H. Riddle, of New Brunswick,
were the contractors on the road
which was put in its present deplor-
able condition as the direct result
of the state highway commission de-
signaling it as a detour route while
Amboy avenue was being paved in
Perth Amboy. The heavy shore
traffic over King Georges road re-
suited in 1t suffering considerable
damage. No repairs were made
when the bad spots began to appear
with the result that the holes be-
came worse until how the road Is
practically impossible at places.
The township has hoped that the
state highway commission would see
fit to finance the repairs but MEM
bers of the board do not believe that
any relief will be secured IL the
township waits for the state to act.
At a previous meeting Committee
man Hoy made the suggestion that
the contractors be notified to make
the necessary repairs at once. Fall
ure on their part to do this work, he
said, would result in the township
doing the working and charging 1t
to the contractors. Township Attor-
ney j. H. Thayer Martin last night
declared that the only safe way to
have the repairs made would be to
advertise for bids. Ultimately, 1t
was said. the contractors would pay
for the work.
senator Larson is III trenton To-
day and he is expected to take up
with the highway commission the
matter of the state financing the cost
of repairing the road to Fords. as 1t
was the direct result of the states
action in making this road detour
that 1t crumbledr away in the manne
1t has.
After considerable discussion 1T
was decided to hold a conference OF
the committee members. the con-
tractor township. engineer and others
having knowledge of the situation In
Senator Larson's Perth Amboy office
tomorrow morning at II o'clock. The
cold weather may make 1t impossible
to make permanent repairs now,
Attorney Martin having suggested
that temporary repairs be made for
the winter and permanent improve
ments made next spring.

Million Dollar Loss
SAVE OTHER STEAMERS
Fire at Atlantic City Does
Great Damage Before
1t Is Checked

CARTERET, Nov. 1s:-The loss
from fire which started with an ex-
plosion aboard an oil barge en-
veloped and destroyed a gasoline
tanker, wrecked pumping stations
and pipelines and burned up one
$4,000 gallon kerosene tank ashore
here last night, was set at above
million dollars today. Three MEM
bers of a tug crew are missing al
though the belief is held they will be
located in some hospital.
One man, a carpenter aboard the
tanker, who was reported missing
last night, was located today in a
Staten Island hospital suffering from
burns and shock from plunge he
made with several others of the crew
of thirty-six into the icy waters of
Staten Island sound. The men were
rescued.
H. ]. Billingsley, official of the
Sinclair Oil Company. who was call
ed to the scene last night, said today
that the damage was so varied and
scattered that he had not arrived at
a total. He did not deny that the
estimate of over a million dollars
loss was too high, however.
When the explosion on Barge A
spouted flames into the $50 foot
tanker William Boyce Thompson
$1,000 gallons of gasoline aboard
went up in flame. From there the
fire ragged shoreward, firing the kero-

burning tanker. Their names could
not be learned. Capt. Never of the
barge "A. was reported missing last
night but today was located in a
hospital suffering from burns and
shock. He also dove into the icy
waters when his barge blew up.
Although the flames still played
through the wrsckage today the
fire is altogether under control.

ALLIED DEBT
ACTION SOON
Matter Will Come Up at
Meeting to Be Held
Early in December

PARIS, Nov. 1S (By The Associat-
ed Press) THE impression is grow
ing in French official circles that the
interallied debts will come up for
discussion when the allied finance
ministers meet with James A. Logan
Jr., American observer with the
Reparation Commission, for division
of German reparation payments,
probably early in December. Lead
ing financiers and politicians are ad-
vising the government not to delay
longer the taking of steps to come to
final understanding with Great
Britain and the United States re-
garding the war debts.
Leading bankers argue that now
the budget has been balanced, with
a surplus in sight il the receipts
continue on the basis of those for
October, which were at the rate of
Sc, 6,000,000,000 francs a year, the
only thing that weighs on France is
the uncertainty concerning the war
debts. Their view Is that it is use-
less to make the effort permanently
to stabilize French money until that
question is settled.

Many poultrymen are very sue
eessful In the production of poultry
and eggs, but fail in the matter of
marketing. As a matter of fact, this
part of the business is as equally i'm
p0riant as the producing end. as in
large measure the profits of the
business are determined by the re-
ceipts from the sale of goods. II
the income drops nearly to the point
where it only equals. or slightly
exceeds the cost Of production, there
is hut little chance of showing
profit sufficiently large to warrant a
continuance of the business. A care
full study of available markets and
approved methods OF marketing will
frequently enable the poultryman to
greatly increase his receipts without
charging his output, and this addi-
tional sum is clear profit.
1t not infrequently happens that
poultry plants are operated in de-
fiance Of well established business
principles, and that they continue to
exist under such conditions and even
make reasonable profits, speaks vol
umes for the further possibilities of
this two billion dollar industry when
properly managed.
Loss OF" System Means
Greater Care
It may be found in certain sections
that better prices can be obtained
by sending eggs through shippers to
distant markets. In such a case, the
poultryman should first select a reli-
able shipper and then make arrange
ments with him whereby he will buy
the eggs on the loss off" system, in
which event, the producer is paid
according to the quality of his eggs
rather than by count alone.
Where this system has been intro
duced, farmers have been induced to
care fer their eggs in a better man
ner and the quality and price greatly
improved
Country, eggs are usually pur-
chased by the local storekeeper. who
in turn consigus them to the big
shippers or packers, from whom they
go forward to the great consuming
CO tiers. 1t is evident that in han

Careful Supervision Must Be

Where proper care is not exer-
eised, the loss incurred through
dirty eggs, cracked shells. chick
development rot and mould is con-
siderable. Exercise careful super
vision over all eggs you may ship.
and under no circumstances should
