Sixth Precinct

The Arkansas Avenue Com
munity Association last night
opposed extending the contro-
versial Route 240 anywhere
through the sixth precinct
east of Rock Greek Park.
THE only arguments that
Senator Case, Republican of
New Jersey, has in proposing
this route is that it moves
through the city where it would
be least expensive to purchase
property" said Clifford H.
Newell, an association member.
But Ted Lewis. who lives
west of Rock Greek Park, told
the association his community
has engaged a lawyer to OPP
pose any route west of the park.
The only thing we can hope
for is to get enough opposition
so that nobody will get it," he
,said.
