MANY ROADS
BEING STONED

A lot of road work has been done
in Hunterdon and adjoining counties
this year, fact that will be appre-
ciated by those using the roads.
Repairs are now being made ia
the Lambertville-Sto road,
from the Alexauken creek to the
quarries. The surface is being
scarifed, and will be re-stoned and
oiled. This has been bad all the
year, and for several years past
only half the Stockton road has
been in good condition, the quarries
being the dividing line. A contin-
uous good surface from Lambert
vile to Stockton would be fine
thing for all that section, and when
Delaware Township completes the
link between Rosemont village and
the Kingwood Township line, this
will afford good road all the way
to Frenchtown, via Barhertown and
Baptisttown. Kingwood Township
has just completed its section of
the work, with good stone road.
Delaware Township is about to
close the break in the Stockton-Ser-
geantsville road at the Pauch farm,
a mile south of Sergeantsville. At
this point a new cutoff will be built
across the Jay Aten farm, where
il was necessary to condemn the
right of way. Sigafoos & Poore are
the contractors for this work, and
are also to resurface and oil the re-
mainder Of the road from Bodine's
Corner to Sergeantsville. There are
two small sections between Stock
ton and Bodine's corner that are bad
but whether they win be repaired
this year has not been announced
Delaware Township is repairing
and improving the road from Raven
Rock to Byram, where it was badly
needed, and has done considerable
work on the mont-Sergeants-
vile road, stoning the places that
were so especially bad last spring
Several sections of the Sergeants-
Vile Ringoes road. via Headquar-
ters, have been stoned this year.
but field stone are being crushed for
this purpose, and they are not as
satisfactory as the stone bought at
the regular crushers.
The most important new route
opened gn is That between Milford
and Clinton via Mount Pleasant
and Pittstown. This has been com
pleted this month, and will do much
to develop the country along its
route. It is all township road, ex-
cepting a short section entering
Clinton, which is state road.
The completion of the Crestmoor-
Long Valley road, while in Morris
County, is a great relief to the many
Hunterdon County folks who use it.
For years this road has been in a
terrible condition, although the Hun
terdon County approach to it was
frst-class.
The Tewksbury Township roads,
winding around high mountains,
along roaring brooks, and through
brightly clean villages, are in good
condition, having been stoned afresh
this year in many places. None Of
hem are state or county roads, and
do not meet the state specifications,
but they are good riding unless the
autoist has weak heart, in which
event he should stay away from that
section. But, the nature lover who
admires wonderful scenery, the like
Of which exists nowhere else in the
county, should not fail to visit that
section. He can also appreciate the
enterprise of these mountain folks
who built their own roads, without
county or state help, and built them
good enough to run their sedans and
limousines over in comfort. II will
be revelation to those who have
never been through that section. II
