WILL OPEJT BIDDLE CREEK BRIDGE OH JULY IffTH State High war Commiuion Takes Action Following Rteolnt -m Word was seat out this week by the State Highway Commission that the Biddle Creek Bridge, on the Bayshore Road at Goshen, which has been causing a long detour to uaen. of this road for the past year, will i opened for travel on July IStfc. The bridge was originally closed off. under s contract with Royal J. Mansfield, of New York, for rebuilding for a period of one hundred days. The work was delayed and dragged along for a year until a petition was presented to the Board of Freeholders .bout three weeks ago, signed by 141 residents of the section affected, asking that some action be taken to have the work speeded up so that travel could be resumed acroes the creek. The Freeholders adopted a resolution calling upon the State Highway Department to hasten the completion of the work, with the result that the bridge will be open within the next

three weeks.

The Bayabore Road, like the Main ashore Road, la now owneo by the State, and is out of the control of the County entirely.

Radio fan* tell me tbe crystal sets, which are very inexpensive, are of no value in trying to tune out this powerful station. Tbe radio would keep the farmer in closer touch with the market prices and would prevent what happened a month ago when strawberries, nice ones too. sold In tbe vicinity of Court House for 10 cents per quart, yet Jack Bethel tells me on tbe same date he received $9.60 or 30 cent* per quart for his New York shipment. Are you aware that New York City consumes the bulk of the product* that are ablpped from tbe county? Tbe farmer's fast freight, run . tbe Reading Railroad, makes It possible for products picked early In tbe afternoon to be served on the New York hotel tables the following morn ing at breakfast.
