'• j named, and met with hearty endorae- , ! ment both from the League and from^ | Senator E. A. Wilson, whq pMhiteei to Up his.utmos( t0 get the measure J through the T^tffcfatlJre. A« a result ] of the me< ting an auxiliary eommitt^ s J of fire prominent citizens .and member* 1 of the organization- will be appointed . i by President Joefeph Vt. Salas, to act ™ j in cooperation with the State Commit-' . I tee. It will be selected -from those n who contribute . to the fund being e ! raised to defray expenses of the Boole- _ I vard Committee in getting the proposit tkn before the people and' of State and j Legislature. , . 6 Five members of' the Ocean Boule- ; vard Committee were present including Secretary John A. Githdns. Jr., of - Asbury Park ; Mayor F. Hal! Packer, » of Sea Bright, treasurer ; and George F. Lawrir. of Atlantic Highalnds; Ali derman Henry W. Leeds and John J. White, of the Matlborough-Blenheim, 1 this city. H~ Secretary Githens -pur the Tr. Iect - 0 « before the League as follows : "The e proposition is to construct an ocean E boulevard from Atlantic Highlands to r Cnpe May, 127 miles in hngth, forming one continuous drive along shore. Over , \0(j miles of road have ' nirffidy been built. We 1'SVe to build five bridces and about 27 miles of road. "It is also proposed to connect by a single :oad system all inland towns In New Jersey from County seat to County seat. The matter was broached ! by Governor rort a few wee)1# »f° , and the Ocean Boulevard Committee* I was appointed. It h'p- been estimated ; by fompeteut engineers that it will j cost $300,000.- » "The county towns can be confiected | by 745 miles of road-, of which diej tance only 169 miles are at this time I improved, an i ot these unimproved i roads 21 miles are between Tom's ! River and Mount Holly, 6 miles between Cape May and May's Landing and Bridgitbn ; >8 miles between Cape ' May Court House and Bridgeton and 25 miiles between Fleming ton and Bel- | videre. Under State care, these roads ' can be maintained for $300 per mile per ' year or an annual expenditure of ! $261,000. At present the income from | automobile registration is $175,000 per 1 year, which would materially relieve ] local road taxatiou ' What it is desired to see attained is, not only that New Jersey shall construct the best roads, hut that she 1 shall see to it that they are maintained ! at all times at the highest state of efficiency. Our State is the only spot in the Repuolic which has within a radius 'of 100 miles of its state line a population of ten million" people with two i great cities of over two millions of people in ea^h, within one hundred miles of each other and the people of each crossing us to get to the other. | free roads and reasonable regis- ] tiation fees for motor cars wc are not | only to be filled with domestic machines, those from without. Good roads - much to the state and our people. Mr. Githens was followed by Mr. Lowrie, who t.t glowing terms dis- \ cussed the great project aud predicted j that if it is achieved, 50 yeafk from ! will seejom continuous city from i Atlantic City to the Highlands. He i predicted that the automobile travel I to a vast degree will benefit that state bringing as it will people from far j distant states. | Senator E. A. Wilson expressed him- ! self as willing to give a strip of land, 80 feet wide, through Abcecon, for the - road, when it reaches that point. Mr. John J. White predicted that not j only the resorts, but also the whole | state will be benefitted by the oon- ! structior. of the road to an inestimable { extent He argued for the-ftoilitjg of ; roads when built on the grounds of ; economy and comfort for travelers over j them.
