Stockton Road
Repairs Started
Traffic Detours Add Only Mile An,
A Quarter Additional
FOUR WEEKS TO FINISH

Lambertville-W Work began Mon
day on the Alexauken- Brookville
road repairs between this city and
Stockton. Thompson 4 Drumm are
the contractors. Mr.. Drumm reports
that traffic will be permitted to
pass whenever it will not interfere
with the work, but the detour will
add only mile and quarter to
the distance between this city and
Stockton.
The detour is right at the Alex
auken oil tanks for a half mile over
the Dilts Corner road, then the first
left turn for two miles to the
Brookville road, and again left for
three-quarters of a mile into Brook
vile. Although the detour roads are
unpaved, they afford fairly good
passage in fair weather.
Four weeks will be required to
finish the road, and for most of the
time traffic will be allowed to pass
at the risk of drivers. However,
there will be four or five days
while the oil is being applied that
no traffic at all will be permitted.

Local History
Put In Print
Scenes And Stories OF New Hope
And Lambertville Included In
Washington Crossing Park
Booklet
PUBLISHED BY COMMISSION

Local residents who have given
no thought to the historical back
ground of Lambertville and New
Hope will do well to read the book.
let just issued by the Washington
Crossing Park Commission of Penn
sylvania. The booklet contains fifty
pages of intimate history and old
photographs showing the part this
section of the Delaware Valley
played in the turning point of the
Revolutionary War.
Among the sketches and illustra-
tons is the Thompson, (now known
as the Nicely House.) two miles
below New Hope; Logan Inn, which
during Revolutionary times was the
Ferry Tavern; The Old Fort, or
| Hip-roof House on York Road; the
Chestnut Tree under which Wash
ington and his staff held council
of war proceeding the crossing of
the Delaware; the Holcombe House
in Lambertville which housed Wash
ington July 1881, 1777 and June
21-22, 177S, and other interesting
sketches and illustrations of sur
rounding points of historical inter-
est.
This section has been woefully lax
in stressing the Importance of its
participation in the country's strug-
gle for independence. Compared with
historical points in New England
ii is found that hundreds of spots,
/ infinitely less in Importance, are
preserved as shrines for the pilgrim
ages of tourists. But here no stones
or markers tell the story of the
bitterness and bravery our forebears
suffered and revealed in their 10y
atty to justice and freedom.
Lambertville and New Hope mark
the turning point in the Revolution
AIRY War. Washington had lost
more battles than he had won. When
he retreated with his defeated army
from the Battle of Long Island
crossing New Jersey to put the
Delaware River behind him for de.
Tense, it was thought that Their
struggle for independence had beer
! in vain.
/ But with last desparlng hope
Washington and his officers con
ceived the plan of surprise at
tack on Trenton. 1t was here tina
plans were made; it was from her
that his soldiers foraged for boat
which were hidden behind Taylor
Island, (just above the presen
Washington Crossing BRIDGE; !
was here that the half-starved AM
poorly clad troops made the Difficult
crossing of Delaware River thel
in its might of ice floes an'
flood. Cor in those days the rivel
was twice the size We now know
since so many canals have robbet
it of its waters.)
The unpreparedness OF the Brltlsi
at Trenton, was conclusive proof
that they thought the struggle ovel
that Washington's army was fin
ally defeated. But the almost su.
perhuman effort that broke the Brit
| ish at Trenton proved to be source
of new courage to the Colonies, anc
with renewed hope they rallied tt
the army for ultimate victory which
resulted in our independence.
It is to be hoped that the Wash
ngton Crossing booklet may be plac
ed on sale where people might &c
auire it and renew their pride il
the knowledge it imparts of The
part this section played in the
struggle for independence.

Warning on
M Ofor Violations

New Hope-Chief Burgess R.
c. Magill has issued warning
to automobile owners and dri-
vers that violations of State
motor laws are going to be
checked up in this borough.
DIR. Magill explained that he
was forced to take action on
some of the fragrant viola
tions, as the State Department
demands it of all municipali-
ties. In order to prevent trou-
BILE from higher up he is issu-
ing warning so that those who
are willing to abide by the by
the law may have a chance to
do so.
One violation is where New
Hope car owners have taken
out New Jersey registrations
on their cars and have no
Pennsylvania registrations. An
other is where commercial cars
are daily operating in New
Hope and adjoining points in
Pennsylvania with only New
Jersey registrations on their
cars. DR.. Magill said he per-
sonally felt that it was unjust
to force motorists along the
border line between the two
states to have to pay for
double registrations, but that
nevertheless is the law, and
he is looked to for enforce
ment until it is changed.
Reckless drivers, especially
those who are not careful at
the intersection Of Bridge and
Main streets, are going to be
prosecuted. DR.. Magill said
that congestion is bad at this
point on Sundays and holidays
for it is the intersection of in
state traffic. A uniformed
traffic officer, Harry Schiller,
has been appointed TO direct
traffic here during busy days,
and has been commissioned
special officer so that he can
arrest violators.
DR.. Magill says that much
has been accomplished in the
last few months in cleaning
up" the town from disorderli-
ness and drunkenness, and he
hopes he will secure the same
cooperation in eliminating mo-
tor violations. He has been
gratified Mt the cooperation
shown in his efforts by the
better class of people who
have the interests of the Bor-
ough at heart, and he feels
sure that this spirit of CO.
operation will continue.

$4,000 FOR
COTTAGE HILL
STREET WORK
Commissioners Appropriate Funds
For Badly Needed Repairs
OTHER BUSINESS

Lambertville-The Board of Com
missioners adopted a resolution at
the Monday evening meeting which
provides for an appropriation of
$4,000 for paving repairs on Cot
tage Hill. This will be welcome news
to residents who have had just
cause to complain at the neglect of
these thorofares. The third and final
reading of the resolution will be on
August End, and will then become
an ordinance.
The streets named for paving
are Swan from Studdiford to Bruins
wick; Brunswick from Swan to the
West Amwell Township line; Doug
las from Studdiford to Brunswick;
Lincoln from Boozcr to Stryker.
Temporary notes are to be issued
to cover the costs, and later bonds
will be issued to cover.
Commissioner Holcombe reports
that surveys have already been
made, and now that repairs have
been completed in the centre of the
city, he will be able to go ahead
with the work Immediately This
paving will be boom to the Cot
tage Hill section, because it already
possesses admirable home sites with
commanding views, and only the
bad streets have kept others from
locating and building here.
EXTEND CORYELL STREET
A resolution was also adopted
calling on property owners along
Coryell street between the High
School and Grant avenue to remove
fences and distractions so that re-
pairs and improvements can be made
to put it in passable condition. The
City Clerk was instructed to so
notify property owners along the
street line to remove distractions.
Commissioner Holcombe reported
that the cost of repairing George
street was $1,t94.95. OF this $81SS0
was spent for stone and $376.15 for
labor.
A fire alarm box is to be located
at the High School, and the Fire
Department director was instructed
to make the installation. A requi-
sition was approved from the Board
of Fire Engineers for 100 feet of
one inch chemical hose for Column
bia Company.
TO STOP TRAIN WHISTLES
The Commissioners expressed
their determination to stop the train
whistle nuisance within the city
limits. OF late there has been an
inexcusable amount of continuous
blasts blown on engines passing
through.
Accordingly, a protest was filed
with A. B. Clark, superintendent
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and
he replied that he had issued re-
newed instructions to train crews
that whistles must be abated to the
minimum allowed by law. He re-
giving the exact time, and if pos
sible the number of the engines. In
quested that violators be reported,
this way he can check on the guilty
parties and punish them accordingly.
MUST TRIM SHADE TREES
The Commissioners adopted a res
olution calling upon the Shade Tree
Commission to inspect all trees on
the streets of the city, and to have
them trimmed or removed where
necessary. Many trees have been
found to block the street lights at
intersections and many of them are
so full of dead limbs that they are
slowly dying. Trees growing out
side the sidewalks, and in the street
are in. violation of the law in oh
structing public highways, and il
may be necessary to force the re-
moval of some of them.
