COTTAGE HILL
PAVING NEARS
END
Brunswick Avenue Cannot Be Fin
ished Until Next Spring, But
Temporarily Improved
WILL OIL IN SPRING

Lambertville-The Cottage Hill
paving reconstruction is nearing
completion. Approximately $1,000
has been spent in doing work which
would have cost the city three times
that if it had been done by con-
tractors. Under the personal super
vision of Mayor Moonan and Street
Commissioner Holcombe the work
has been carried on with an econ
omy that deserves praise.
The foundation work was done
for the most part with Stag from
the foundry, and it gives a base
good for all time to come with
seasonal resurfacing and oiling. Diff
! ficulties were encountered in sew
eral places where subterranean
springs made the ground so spongy
that extra amounts of foundation
stone had to be rolled in. One of
these on Studdiford street opposite
the Mcclure place is scheduled for
additional work next Spring.
Due to the extent of the work
it will be impossible to apply the
road oil this fall, for hot weather
! is necessary to make it properly
penetrate. But the surfacing is be-
ing water-bound and rolled so that
j it will give good service thru the
winter. And with the weight of
traffic in the meantime the paw
ing will be in even better shape for
the oil applications in the Spring.
Swan street, the main approach to
the hill, is also nearing completion,
but Brunswick avenue cannot be
finished until Spring. However, it
will be given temporary repairs to
keep it more passable, and will be
completely reconstructed as soon as
weather permits next Spring.
This marks the first time in the
history of the city that the steam
roller has been used on the streets
of Cottage Hill. The bog created
there in winter weather were large
ly caused by the failure to properly
pack the paving. 1t has been
thought that the roller could not be
worked on the steep grades, but
Mayor Moonan and Commissioner
Holcombe have completely disproved
that theory. The saving accrued to
the City by buying its own mater
ials and employing its own labor
proves that contract work is in
fnetly more costly, and taxpayers
should commend the officials for
their industry.

Bulk of Farmers
Fav0r Aeric ultmrai
Extension Work

An official report OF the dean of
the State College of Agriculture,
showing the results of a survey of
621 New Jersey farm to find out
what farmers think of extension
work, states that 90 rer cent favor
it. Sixty-four per cent of the farm
ers are reported as having changed
one or more Of their practices as a
result of information gives by the
state and county extension agents.
The survey was part of study
made in outlining an agricultural
policy for the state. OF the 621
farmers visited only 3 per cent were
definitely opposed to extension work.
The extension system Of teaching,
according to the report, is planned
to reach into every rural community
in the state. 1t has the support
not only of the rural people but
also of bankers, business men and
manufacturers. The rural bankers
particularly are giving evidence of
keen interest in the agricultural ex-
tension service. They have con
tributed substantial sums of money
by way of prizes for the sake Of
encouraging the production Of new
ideas and methods into farm prac-
tice.
Of the 119 agricultural counties
in the state all but one have an
agricultural agent, and most Of them
have two or more r. perating
agents. Usually one of these coop
Grating agents is assigned to super
vising and assisting farm youths in
farm activities. 1t is believed that
this work is an effective means Of
keeping more of the capable young
men and women on the farm.
