STOCKTON ROAD
Assemblyman Prall And Senator
Agans Appeal For Immediate
Work On Road Just Approx
ed By Legislature

Assemblyman Horace G. Prall and
Senator David H. Agans headed a
delegation at a hearing held yes
terday before the New Jersey High
way Commission to urge the imme-
date taking over of the newly ap-
proved highway from Stockton thru
Sergeantsville, Pennington and SOM
erville to New Brunswick. The i'm
portance of his highway is apparent
with the new Delaware River Brids e
being built by the Free Bridge Com
mission at Stockton.
The old original York Road cross
ed the Delaware at this point, leav-
ing the present York Road on the
Pennsylvania side at Lahaska. 1t
cuts off several miles between Phila-
delphia and New York, and with the
increasing traffic over the Lincoln
Highway it is becoming increasing
ly more important to provide another
Philadelphia-New York highway.
Both the New Jersey Senate and
Legislature passed the bill enabling
the State Highway Department to
take over the road, and it has been
signed by Governor Moore.
The object of the hearing yester-
day was to secure prompt action on
the part of the Highway Commits
sion to start work at once. But the
response met by the delegation was
that funds were not available for all
the work confronting the Der art
ment, but that action would be start
ed as soon as possible. General Scott,
chairman of the Commission, pre-
sented a resolution providing for
Highway Engineers to make surveys
on the road and to make recommen-
dations on the work to be done and
the route to be followed.
One suggestion was made that the
road, instead of following the steep
hill leading directly from the west
side of Stockton, be carried over
the old road leaving Stockton on the
north, going thru Prallsville and
swinging back to the Stockton-Ser-
geantsville road after the steep hill
had been rounded. This could be
done on two percent grade. But
by following the steep section of
the road directly out Of Stockton it
would be more expensive to construct
the highway, and as it lies in a deep
cut most of the way it is always
difficult to keep it clear from SHOWS
in winter. However, this is to be
decided by the engineers.
Others in the delegation from this
section appearing with Assembly
man Prall and Senator Agans were
Freeholders Haines, Robinson and
Dilts; Township Committeeman Will
liam Rittenhouse, Charles Updyke
and Percy Bush; Road Supervisor
Orville Opdyke, County Council Phil
lip Gebhardt, Henry Fisher and
Frank Eppele.

new INDUSTRY
FOR new HOPE
Builders GraueI A nd
Sand To Be Qnarried
By AHenfogon Inter
eSfS

New Hope-This section gives
promise of becoming building ma
terials center, and the latest devel-
opment in this line is the quarry
ing of sand and gravel The Acme
Sand and Gravel Company, a sub
sidiary of the National Stag Com
pany, of Allentown, Pa, has ppr-
chased twelve acres of the Rheedes'
farm, and machinery is being in
stalled for immediate production of
builders sand and gravel.
Evidently it remained for out
siders to discover and appreciate the
high quality of this natural pro-
duct, but the location of the Acme
plant here will mean added pros
perity for the community. The prop
erty is located just beyond the Sim
clair Oil Tanks, near the FhIadel-
phia & Reading freight depot J B.
Thomas, the plant superintendent
who is in charge Of installation, says
that the best quality of sand and
gravel deposits are located there,
and that his Company already has
"a fve-year contract to supply
Philadelphia agent of building sup
plies. In addition to this they will
also supply local contractors.
A force of eight men are now
engaged in laying concrete founda-
tions for the machinery. There VIII
be two crushers, steam shovel, n
crane, several series of screens and
sleeves for assorted sizes, and wash
ers for cleaning the product before
it is shipped. Water for the wash
ers WI be supplied by pump with
capacity of 700 gallons per min
ute. The output of the plant viii be
700 tons daily, and the product will
be shipped as fast as it is quar-
ried. However, storage bins with
600 tons capacity are also to be
built to take care of rush orders.
For the present all shipments are
to be made by rail, and in order
! to provide prompt movement Of
shipments doubIe-tracked sidings are
to connect the plant with the p ~
r. Railroad.
A force of about twenty-five men
will be required to man the rlant,
and this means employment for
| local labor However. men are being
brought here for phases Of the work
demanding experience, and this adds
to the population of the cpmmunity.

From this lobby will open offices

1t also will connect with the Libra

Meeting with Police Court Room
and Jail Accommodations to replace the
old Jail building. Six sanitary cells
are provided six by nine feet, and
larger one for women prisoners,
all well lighted.
Besides the required boiler room,
fuel storage space and toilets, there
will also be a vault for official doc
uments and large public room
connected with kitchen where local
organizations can give banquets and
have meetings. This is merely .
utilization of space which yauld
otherwise go to waste, and does pot
add materially to the cost.
The third floor contains the Me
orial Auditorium with seating cap
aeity of approximately five hundred.
A stage, fifteen by twenty eight
feet, is provided with dressing rooms
on each side at the rear. On each
side Of the stairway at the front
are two large rooms which can be
utilized by the Library Board Ped
ACross Clinics or any other public
function which may be assigned to
them.
All in all the plans are admirably
worked out. They were prepared by
Hill & Gollner, of Trenton, and
merely submitted on approval. There
were also other plans submitted
but they provided for higher cost,
and it is not likely they will meet
With approval.
It is to be hoped that this Mem
orial City Hall can be realized. No
municipality the size of Lambert
Vile is so poorly served with quar-
ters for its official functions. And
the accomplishment of this build
ing will be boost to the city i
reputation as mark Of progress
that will 90 far in making its
residents proud of their home town.

MEMORIAL CITY HALL BUILDING
PROPOSED FOR LAMBERTVILLE
Architects Plans Provide Fitting Tribute To Local Veterans And At
Time Supply City With Need

Lambertville-Arch plans for
municipal building to house all
city activities in an attractive Col
onial type of city hail to be erected
at City Park have been received by
the City Commissioners. Mayor E. j.
Moonan presented them at Morday
evenings meeting, but in the absence
of Commissioner j. w. Cooper. who
was i'll, discussion of them has
been postponed until next Monday
evening.
The building is proposed as a
memorial to the Lambertville veter-
ans of the World War. Over two
hundred of the pick of Lambertville's
finest, more than from any other
community in Hunterdon County
saw service during the late war, but
as yet no memorial of any kind has
been erected to their memory The
proposed building, while supplying
Accommodations for all the city's acti-
vities, will at the same time be a
fitting tribute to the young manhood
of Lambertville participating in the
most gigantic struggle the world has
ever seen,
Such memorial was suggested by
Mayor Moonan shortly after the re
turn of Lambertville's veterans at
the close of the war, and has also
been in the minds of other citizens
who have a civic pride which wishes
to see Lambertville's patriotism ex-
emplified. But at the time the finan-
cial aspect of the memorial could
not be worked

MADE POSSIBLE BY SAVING ON
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS
But the realization of the project
at this time is made possible by
saving in the appropriation made
for school improvements last year.
At that time the Commission voted
to appropriate S1S5,000. But as the
improvements now approa Ii compile
ton it has been found that the
total cost will not be more than
$4,000, leaving balance of
sos, 900.
The cost of the proposed Memorial
City Hall will be about the same
amount. In other words, the cree
ton of this attractive colonial build
ing, by being financed over num-
Der of years as a permanent I'M
provement, can be paid for without
increasing taxes any more than pro-
vided by the total school improve
ment appropriation. And in the long
run the building will prove a saving
to the city in its administration ex-
penses. At present, rented quarters
for the Tax Receiver, Commission
Chamber, Board of Education and
Library amounts to yearly interest
at five per cent on $4,000 And the
total cost of the Memorial City
Hall will be only about three times
that amount, and on bonding plan
can be spread over number of
years, and at the same time the en-
tire city can receive the benefits
of it.

Rewards Bran Meal

Reynard's Bran Meal, made right
here at home from whole wheat
ground on old fashioned stone burrs,
is rapidly gaining in public favor not
only in Newark but throughout the
country generally.
Bran Meal is the ideal article for
preparing bread and cakes of all
kinds, and as a breakfast food is sur
passed by none. 1t is a bone, blood
and muscle builder and supplies the
body with cellulose and the minerals
so essential to health. A trial pack
age will convince the purchaser that
"Reynard's Bran Meal" is the thing
for which he has been 50 long in
search, and will make him life long
user Of this healthful and delicious
preparation. 1t is for sale by the
grocers of Newark generally, and is
not controlled by any trust or COM
binatiOn.

GOOD RULE FOR NEWARK

The Chinese do things differ

swears or uses other improper
language over the telephone, he
may be penalized by having his
telephone disconnected. 1t re-
mains for the Chinese, however,
to place q ban on using the tel
ephone for flirting. A recent
order issued by the telephone
company serving Hong Kong
reads-"Chinese telephone sub
scribers who flirt over the wires
with the telephone girls more
than three times will have their
numbers cancelled"
While flirting is something
which may not ordinarily be
associated with the Chinese, it
is apparent from this order that
the Chinese are not in that re-
spect different from other races.

TO ORGANIZE WOMEN

Trade unionists have formed
a committee to organize women
wage workers throughout New
Jersey. The call for a confer
eAce, issued by the State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, was attended
by more than fifty delegates
from every section Of the state.
The delegates included repre-
sentatives Of all trades where
women workers are a factor.
The conference agreed that
while this campaign is primarily
for women, no opportunity to
organize other workers will be
overlooked.
