CLEVELAND AVE.
ACTION TAKEN
State Highway Commission
Will Come Here to Act
in Dispute

A meeting of property owners
along the westerly side Of Cleveland
avenue, has been called by State
Highway Commissioner Abraham
Jelin. In the Western Improvement
Association hall, in Brace avenue,
for o'clock. Tuesday night, June 10.
A special invitation to be present at
this meeting has been issued to the
property owners along the westerly
side of Cleveland avenue, between
Brace avenue and Krockmally ave-
nue..
The purpose of the meeting is to
arrange for the State Highway Com
mission to acquire if possible the
necessary land to make a sixty-six
foot street. Commissioner Jelin and
state highway engineers will be pres
ent to explain in detail the various
properties as they will be affected
and If possible to arrange with the
adjust for any damage done to the
property, the action taken to be SUD-
ject to the approval of the State
Highway Commission.
1t is believed by the Highway Com
mission that If the commission and
property owners can get together in
this matter it will mean that both
the property owners and commission
will save considerable trouble. Some
time ago the highway commission let
1t be known that Cleveland avenue
was favorably looked upon for the
location of more direct route to the
new victory bridge, which is now IN
course of construction over the Eari-
tan river. between this city and South
Amhoy.
According to Hyman Friedman.
the local representative of the COM.
mission in the Cleveland avenue
project, If the commission cannot
get together with the property own
ers and agree upon a figure for the
property needed, this will result in
condemnation proceedings or Il
change In the route from Cleveland
avenue to SOME other thoroughfare.
Mn. Friedman, in discussing the mat
ter today, said that in many insta noes
the buildings now on the property
will have to be moved further back
on their respective lots. 1t is hoped
that arrangements can be made at
this meeting with the various prop
erty owners, so that the usual legal
proceedings to obtain the property
needed will not become necessary.
