Spirited Meeting Tonighl
When Fulton Street Matter
is to be Heard
WOODBRIDGE, Sept. 32.—A spir
ited meeting is looked for tonight
at the meeting of the township com
mittee when the question of paving
Fulton street comes up for discus
sion and action. An ordinance au
thorizing the paving of this street
with patent paving was passed on
first reading at a recent meeting of
tho township board but last week
when it came up for second and
third readings the opposition was sc
strong that the matter was laid over
until tonight.
Two Kinds of Opposition.
Tho committeemen have twc
kinds of opposition to contend with
There are certain residents anc
property owners along Fulton streei
who are opposed to the street being
paved at all while others favor it*
being paved but object to a patent
pavement being used, they favoring
concrete. There arc some, it is said,
who want a street “just as good af
Green street” but do not care to pay
tho cost of laying such a street.
The committeemen are split over the
question, Committeeman,-at-Largc
Howard R. Valentine, together with
Committee-men Dr. J. P. Halter and
William H. Gardner being out
spokenly opposed to any patent
pavement while the position of the
remaining four members, Albert
Larson, William Hoy, George S. Luf
bury and Arthur A. Deter is doubt
ful.
nf the latter four committeemen
it is likely that Mr. Lufbury will fa
vor concrete instead of pate.pt pav
ing if the lesidents along that street
so desiie, lie having made the as
sertion that although he personally
favors warrenite his constituents
had told him they favored a patent
paving. He has pointed out that
the paving of a short street with
concrete, such as Tisdall place,
would save $1,000 as compared to
the cost ot patent paving. The West
avenue, Sewaren road could be built
with concrete for less than $100,000,
he also said, whereas warrenite will
cost $140,000.
There were Fulton street property
owners present at the last meeting
of the committee and tonight prom
ise? to bring forth even a larger
number of those who are ready to
press their light against the patent
paving. Owing to the fact that elec
tion is near and some of the com
mitteemen are seeking re-elction
they will endeavor to satisfy the
majority In this matter, the Fulton
street proposition now having taken
on the aspect of a big campaign is
sue.
To quote an expression of one of
the Fulton street property owners.
"There will lie fire works at to
night’s meeting when the Fulton
street patent paving ordinance
comes up for final action.”

to six mills be favored. The present
rate is 2 3-4 mills. John I*. Mur

the matter at present and withdrew
her motion.
The board unanimously confirmed
the reappointment by State commis
sioner of Education John Enright ol
county school superintendents lr
seven counties. The confirmation
was laid over «t the August meetinc
because the members of the board

properly protected from loss in case
of fire, if the rate is as low as il
should be and if the policies arc

SchoV? are Inadequate
Mrs. Cromwell based her request
for endorsement of the increase*

in many rural sections the schools
are very poor and inadequate, witl
poorly paid teachers and the chil
