When the Board of Freehold
ers took final action toward the
re-surfacing of the Shore road
between this city and Somers
Point at its meeting earlier IN
the month, a sigh of satisfaction
which could have been heard the
length of the Mainland and
through the county resounded.
Bids for the job will be received
as the Board meets March g.
Fifteen years or so ago the
Shore road, newly paved from
Absecon to Somers Point, was
one of the marvels of road con-
struction in South Jersey, With
the passage of the years. the in
creased traffic wore the highway
full of holes and ruts. These,
together with the excavations
made by the various utility comp
anies. have made life miserable
for the motorist who uses the
highway. From time to time
county employees have gone over
the road, filled in the holes, and
made it passable for a while, but
soon it was worn through once
more. At the present time it is in
one of the worst conditions it has
ever been. following the recent
storm, which raised havoc with
many sections of the highway.
The Shore road extends from
the Atlantic Highlands to Cape
May. II is the principal highway
route for coast wise traffic In
