ROAD WORK
BEING PUSHED

The road from Rosemont to the
Kingwood township line has been
declared to be the worst in the
/ State. Local taxicab men say it is
so much worse than the Croton road
that there is scarcely comparison.
This Rosemont- Kingwood road,
however, is to be improved this
year. The contract was let some time
ago to Warren r. Thompson, of
! Whitehouse, and work will begin now
within another week or so. Mr..
Thompson has moved his forces from
the River Road, between this city
and the Mercer county line, to the
Rosemont- Kingwood road.
The Croton- Quakertown road re-
pairs are expected to be done soon,
according to the contractor War
rem r. Thompson. From Lambert
vile one has, to detour going to
Pennington because of the building
of the concrete road. The road from
Ringoes and going past the sta
/ ton takes one direct to Croton. Qua
kertown. Pittstown and Clinton is
so bad that no traveller takes it the
second time. Two miles of this road
way. living in between Boar's Head
and Croton is in horrible shape.
The road from Pittstown to Gin
ton is being resurfaced. and will he

dirt detour is much better, excent
for the five grade crossings of the
pittstown Branch railroad between
Kinptown and Sidney. little over

ton the stone roads generally are
good and there are no detours.
There's bad detour on the Eas-

An Australian bearded lizard (not
lounge lizard elther) was recently
found summing itself on the railway
track near Plaistow, near London, Eng
land. As the locality Is in the dock
area, 1t is supposed that the mysterl-
Gus stranger landed there as stow
away and WAS engaged on tour OF
exploration. Ii has beneath the chin
a fold of skin which, unnotieeable
when the reptile is In repose can be
expanded into conspicuous bristly
frill, suggestive OF beard, for the
purpose of frightening enemies. If this
fails, II has very effective weapon
IN its spiny TAIL with which II can
unict serious wounds.

Patrol Ambulance
Ends First Year
First Anniversary Proves Its Value
To The Community

Lambertville-The Fire Patrol
Ambulance was one year old on Sep
TENDER 18th. During that time il
has served on Sd errands of mercy
in conveying sick and injured to
and from hospitals and to homes
Fights trips were made within Lam
bertville; a from Trenton to Lam
bertville; 8 from Lambertville to
Philadelphia; l from Carversville
to Abingdon, and AZ trips from Lam
bertville to Trenton.
Captain J. A. Vetter reports that
ID of the patients served by the
Ambulance made. contributions of
gratitude to the fund amounting to
S77.00. AS no charges are made, OF
course the others were served free,
The cost of the operation of the am
bulance for the year was about
$3.50. (This does not include the cost
for repairs following the recent ac-
cident, as this was paid by the men,
beers of the Patrol.)
The original cost of the Ambulance
was S2700. OF this amount $500. Is
still due on note in the bank. As
some citizens have not yet contribu
ted to this fund, it is hoped that
they will do so at an early date
Nearly every business man and man
ufactory in Lambertville has con
tributed, and contributions have beer
made from New Hope, Stockton, Mt
Airy, Moore Station, Washington
Crossing, and from the fire com
panies in these places. Also thu
Women's Auxiliaries of Union anc
Columbia companies have contri
buted.
There are outstanding pledges
amounting to $3.50. which have no
yet been paid. Names of contributor
have been published in this pape
from time to time, and other contri
buttons will be politically acknow
lodged in the same way.
The repairs resulting from tn
Ambulance skidding on the we
pavement at Moore Station recently
cost $246. This is being paid person
ally by the members of the PatroI
and the general fund was not dis
turbed by the cost. The member
are not only contributing their ser
vices night and day, but are con
stantly bearing the expense of var
ious expenses. This is commendabl
and shows how sincere are their eff
forts to serve the public.

able to water and therefore less val
liable for dam footings.
The Redwall limestone, forming one
of the tallest cliff bands, so marked
as characteristic of the canyon
structure, is admirable for damsites.
Where the river has not eroded be-
low the base Of this stratum, Mr..
Moore finds that the choice of dam
sites is regulated only by other con-
siderations, engineering and economic.
Lower in the canyon formations
than the Redwall limestone is a group
of softer layers, alternating with COM
paratively thin beds of impervious
stone. But down in the gorge of the
canyon itself, where the river at three
places in its length has cut through
all unaltered stratified material, there
is the archean rock, regarded by
some as the true basic structure of
the earth's crust. This rock is of un-
known thickness, is so dense and hard
that it confines the river within a v
shaped crevice, and has never at any
point been completely pierced by the
stream. In other words, it is real
crock bottom" so far as any geologic
cal indications are exposed in the
Grand Canyon. For holding heavy
structures and for containing water at
high pressure, this formation is the
best of all. There are other reasons
making it less favorable for irrigation
damsites, however, that il
occurs so far down from the canyon
rim that it would generally be found
impossible to get the water out on the
irrigable land.
Some of the limestone formations
would form admirable basis for Port
land cement. At other places there
are excellent examples of building
stone, easily shaped and accessible to
the damsites. Some points on the
river afford good ingress for fuel
supplies and other necessaries, both
for converting the rock into cement
and for the actual construction. Still
other spots are not so favorably sit
uated.
All of these factors must be con-
sidered, Mr.. Moore believes, in select
ing damsites for development. He
says this, significant of his whole
study:
Examination of the reservoir basin
that is to be made by dam may be
quite as essential as that of the dam
site iself, for serious leakage at some
point in the reservoir, though it might
not in any way endanger the dam
would obviously endanger the effect
iveness of the project. In the Grand
Canyon, however, this consideration is
entirely negligible, for in none of the
reservoirs that would be created by
dams built in the canyon would there
be possibility of sufficient leakage
through the rocks of the pleateau to
affect even slightly the stability Of
the reservoirs"

wide in places.
Rock riprap has not been properly
placed in road and brush and limbs
4 of trees were used as riprap.
Road was not executed in proper
time in order to not hold up con-
| struction of the flow line.
! After parts Of the road was built
there was not Is inches of cover over
the old pipe line, which precaution
would avoid breaks in the old line anil
interruption of service.
/ Neglect was shown in repairing

GRAND CANYON PLACER
CLAIMS TRIAL DATE Sc

The United States court has set for
November 7 the trial of the long-de-
layed suit against Stetson and others,
respecting the legality of fifty-four
placer claims, of 160 acres each, that
had been located in solid block on
the Grand Canyon. This is one of the
many so-called Cameron suits, for
United States Senator Ralph Cameron
is reported to have been interested in
the group which covers ground prev
iously located by him, in lode claims
and millsites, generally following the
route of the Bright Angel trail into
the canyon.
The action was filed in Prescott in
July, 1924, by the department of JUS
tice, with declaration that the filings
were upon ground previously with
drawn from entry. Defendants de-
clare that the ground covered by the
later filings is valuable for platinum
and other minerals, whether in the
line of the CANYON rim or in the gran
ite near the river.
Within the southern row Of claims
is included the group occupied bv the
Harvey system El Tovar hotel, Bright
Angel hotel, the Santa Fe depot and
terminals, and the national park sys-
tenn offices, as well as several miles
of the Santa Fe trackage.e

No attention was paid to the Coun-
ciPs 125 men notice which was given
September 8th.
G. +. Green, contractor on the res
ervoir, was instructed to pump and
use water from the old fifty million
reservoir when possible, but he is to
be allowed water from the town
water system when it is not possible
to pump.
Attention was called to the specifi-
cations that gunite operators are to
have two years experience in placing
gunite on the reservoir.
Mr.. r. L. Bate, superintendent on
the reservoir construction, offered to
cut tests at any point or points desig-
mated by the Council and invited the
Council to investigate the same. They
agreed to make the tests at p. M
tomorrow.
Mr.. Flynn asserted that the costs
for repairing the flow line may be
charged to Cook & O'Brien.
Motion was made by Koch and
seconded by Mitchell that the Council
go into executive session. The mo-
tion carried.
After coming out of the executive
session the Council reconvened at its
regular meeting place.
Motion was made by Raudebaugh
that all private contractors within the
town be instructed to get water at
other places than from the town
water system as no water is to be
used for construction purposes from
the town water system. The motion
was seconded by Mitchell and carried.
No further business appearing at
this time the meeting was adjourned
