TBE OCEAN i r BOULEVARD S SOU OF THE WFFTCULTIES i Bridge BiiHiig oie »f tke 1 Necessities ii Cenectiig Ceutj Reads Discussing the proposed Ocean Boole- , 18 vard from Bay Head to oape May, J !r connecting all of the coast resorts of ' ]' the State, Robert A. Meeker, State 1 Supervisor of Roads, has told of some * e of the difficulties that will be encoun- ' tared in the completion of the work and of some of the advantages that will thus be secured for the coast counties. ' | He stid that the counties involved had ' already improved 97 out of the 127 miles ot the boulevard and he ex- ' pressed the opinion that there should ' n be no more delay in the finishing of the ' entire work. I 1 e Tfie greatest obstacle seeds to be the ' questioj of bridge building. The ' e counties are all ready to go ahead 1 with road work, but some of them are ( balking at bridges. Tbe tint bridge ' from the north is at tbe outlet of .Deal ( j Lake. This, . however, can be readily ' n oared for by the construction of a 20 1 jj foot oulvert. Tbe beach is one that ' e does not readily wash at that ipoint. 1 0 At Allenhurst two valuable lots are 1 required to take a sharp angle out of 1 the road. At Seabrigbt tbe property 1 e owners nave consented to tbe changing ' y of 2000 feet of road to avoid a grade crossing. 1 At Ocean Grove, Lawrence avenue n will be used to avoid any intrusion on ,r the camp meeting grounds. At Bradley n Beach the Shark River must be g bridged, and this is causing consider- t e able concern, ifoi in addition to the 1 j expense the construction must he in i r accordance with the views of the Fea- c era' War Department. At this point t lg piles 82 feet long will be repaired, i n also considerable bulkheading. Another c expensive bridge is necesary at Seaside Fark. i The moat expensive bridge of all is ( ^ required at Great Egg Harbor Inlet. 1 ■f Some 7z8o leet must be spanned there, 1 . but part jf it is shoal water and a 1 0 bridge 785 feet would serve the pur- t pose with fills at either end. Here -Iso the War Department most ap- c b prove the draws, etc. From the lower 1 f end of this bridge tbe boulevard will e run over the old Cape May County i e turnpike, to Cape May Court House. ,t In view of these requirements it is i . doubtful if the boulevard will be com- I r pleted inside of three or four years, t and it may take longer. Tbe State \ n Road Departme.: t is making good pros' gress with the effort to connect all of < the county seats with improved roads, t This will soon be an accomplished d fact. c m m ♦ • J BEST CATCH OF THE SEASON " :. A party of Carroll Villa guests in j n Captain Smith's Creswell, Monday, af- a ter tbe finny tribes of the harbor had great luck, catching in all about j 8 seventy-five fish of several varieties. a 1 In the party were Messrs. Gerber, 9 Frances, Dyer and Tstnall, with Mrs. j ( ' Gerber and several children. This a • was really tbe best catcb of the season ■ s and all were delighted with the sport. : j j Captain Smith the experienced boatman a | ol many years, did his best to give'his I patrons the best opportunity for making ! j j the trip the success that it was.
