WANT STREET
TO BE OPENED
Property Holders Blocked From Exit
And Entry
JEFFERSON ST. EXTENSION
ASKED

Lambertville-The Board of Com
missioners received last Monday at
their weekly meeting petition sign
ed by citizens interested in property
around the upper end of Franklin
street. Signers of the petition were
William Wagg, Harry soblinger,
George Larson, Myra Vert and
David Haughton.
The petitioners set forth that they
are not provided according to law
with convenient means of exit and
entry, and that in some instances
they are forced to cross neiglbors'
property in order to reach the
street.
Commissioner Holcombe, who SER
we'd several years on the old Com
mon Council, recalled that this r1at-
ter had come before them IN 1904.
Search of the records revealed that
an ordinance was vetoed in the fol-
lowing month, July 1904, by o. C.
Holcombe, who was then mayor But
the ordinance was passed over his
veto in August 1904 thus becoming
a law. However, influence must have
been brought to bear. fer the law
was never carried out.
The petition was referred to Com
missioner Holcombe and City At
torney Charles A. Malloy, who are
to report back on the status of the
situation.
