NEW ROAD ^ACCEPTED ; RIO BRAND TO OREEN CREEK | Seutor Bud Praised for its Ex- ! celleit Condition ud Serves File Oilier \ The Board ' of Freeholders gave a ■ final inspection on Thursday to the , new road between Rio Grande and , Green Creek built under contract by , Senator Hand, and were accompanied , by State Commissiotfer.Gilkeson, State ' 1 Supervisor Meeker, County Engineer Smith, County Road Supervisor Sulwell arid Road Inspector Holmes. After 1 1 the inspection tbey went to the home > ; ' of Senator Hand where the Board held I 1 a meeting. County Engineer R. Fen- " dal Smith made a statement and said ' ' that the contract had been completed i according to plans and specifications. Inspector Holmes said that a fine 1 road had been built w hich would be | ' satisfactory to everybody. State Com- j missioner Gilkeson said he bad come j J down for the sake of officially viewing j and accepting the road and the County was to be congratulated in securing j ' such an excellent highway and suoh a j liberal interpretation of the contract i 1 as Senator Hand bad made. He also J r congratulated the Board on the judi- j cious and careful expenditure of money on the county highways. He expressed his regret that Mr. Rutherford was f about to sever his connection with the j Board and thanked him for many cour- 1 tesies extended. He hoped to have B him visit his office whenever in TrenI, ton. He also stated that he would n strive to secure legislation, for the I j distribution of money collected from | j auto licenses, to tjie counties for use-l . in the maintentance of county roads. | j He Baid that under meh a system Cape May County would receive $4090, in .' the place of $500 received under pres- !* ent system. He added that the Atlantic County Freeholders had practically ass- red Ihim that they would built a . new road from May's Landing to jj Tuckahoe and this would make a oonT tinuous road for autos from the f northern 'parts of the State. State e Supervisor Meeker congratulated the Board on the fine road sreured and the

liberal quantity of gravel used by the f —mniM" He wanted to see the ( road from Court House to Goeben con- j tinned to Dennisville and the bay side system and seaside system of roads united. He thought the Board was -wise in building wider roads. Freeholder Rutherford said he had , watched the building of the road was , at no time dissatisfied with the work, j He thought Senator Hand was really , putting on more of^both kinds of gravel i than was required by contract and the ; grave' used was much better than he • had expected. He thought a 20-foot . road bed desirable and suggested that j repairs in future be made at th;s j ; width. If the Ocean Boulevard pro- 1 went through thiB would not be j , wide enough. He regretted that he j would be uo longer with the Board and would miss his pleasant associa- 1 . tions with the members. He then] presented a resolution which was unanimously adopted, accepting the road from the contractor and authorsettlement, j Surrogate Vanaman was tneu called ] as a former member of the | Board and after expressing his apprp- | ciation of the courtesy, said that he J been asked If tn case a township ] built a road, it could^afterward be ' taken over by the County and State ! and the Township reimbursed for its expenditure. State Commissioner ' ilkeson Baid this could not toe Bone. Vanaman said the question had put to him in relation to the huildling of a road to Stone Harbor which a company which was developing a tesort at Stone Harbor, was | anxious for Middle Township (to build, j The State Commissioner suggested I - that the proper wa> was thai which . had been pursued by other resorts in i the county Let the company build i | such a road as would meet present necessities and at some later date the ! county would purchase it and rebuild it as a part of the county system of roads. This is the general practice in similar circumstances. Senator Hand, the contractor for the road just completed, was then officially notified of the Bird's -acceptance of the road, and he was called upon for some remarks. He said : "It is very {gratifying to find all concerned wTt'f this road, lully satisfied. The profit in the building of it does not meann so

much to me as my pride in securing | this road. It has heen needed • long 1 time and he had taken great pains to make as good s road as possible. I suggest a vote of thanks to State Commissioner Gilkeson, and the State of Roads for the liberality «| of their treatment of our county in ' the matter of roads. Our county has always bad its toll share of State aid. ] I repeat that the pleasure of finding you all satisfied with the new road is profit enough fop-me." The meeting then adjourned. At the conclusion of the meeting Hand invited the freeholders, officials and a number of friends who « were present at his request, to par- « take of one of those incomparable din- 1 nera for which Mrs. Hand is noted. " menu was as follows : Grape Fruit ' Bouillion Oyster Cocktail I Sweet-Pickles Olives Baited Almonds I ' | Fried Oysters ' j Koast. Goose, Stuffed, Cranberry Sauce ' Potatoes Turnips Lima}Beans ' ' j Orange Souffle Chicken Salad 1 Pumpkin Pie Pound Cake M svyIoe Cream " I Fruit ^ Nuts Cafe Noir Cigars [ At the conclusion of the dinner State ' i Commissioner Gilkeson offered a resoi i lution which was adopted by a rising I I vote, "That while we recognize in 1 i Senator Band a most competent road 3 ' builder, we desire lo go on record as " of the opinion that in preparing for ' ; the inner rr.au, Mrs. Hand's skill far ' surpasses the Senator's ability at road 3 building." He referred also, in com- ! plimentary terms, to the fine service ' which he stated to be unobtainable - anywhere excepting in a charming and well managed home. . * j Those present were : R. T.
