\ PAVING NEAR COMPLETION FOUNDATION OF HEW ROAD WORE » COMPLETED— MOST OF TAB TOP i IH PLACE— FIHE HEW BOAD POP- ; A- OXAE WITH AUTOISTS. The new paving of Broadway and a atrip on West Peny Street ia now nearing completion after considerable delay and agitation over the atyle of foundation that was wanted. The style finally selected waa that of crashed atone® with a small amount of gravel for a binder. The asphalt top was held up until the entire stretch of the founds - I ~ tion waa completed, when the tar top L of the road waa rushed as fast as possible without sacrificing the road be cause of the speed. pb_ Broadway is now a fine stretch of hard paving and adds another stretch of the best type of roads to this vicinity West Perry street from the bridge over ,Cspe Island Creek to the Pennsylvania . g Railroad is another small stretch and if A the block of paving between the rail- ™ road and Broadway and the two blocks , 3, /' between the bridge and Washington 5* •' Street wpre paved this would be one tr long stretch of asphalt paving that %, .would make an incomparable entrance '? into the city for autoists. ' jjf" It is hoped, however, that if the three ■V blocks that should be paved in this manacr the officials in charge at tne timej. the improvement is made will see the , error that was made during this and the past year in having tne streets torn up , during the heighth of the season. This work could be commenced early in the ij spring and completed in early June f without fear of the cold weather spoil - ing the material as it was laid. A few more streets with the asphalt , paving would be a great benefit to the , city as the good streets invite autoists , J- better than anything else and as the , 1 automobiles have become such a popu- , lar conveyance for a great number of , people especially so df the week-end vis- ; $ itors of the seashore resorts. , FIRST IHTO MARKET Linford Halbruner, a vegetable far m- !. er of Oold Spring, claims to have been a, tte first to get into market with all of , d farm products excepting sweet po- , He had waermi-lons yesterday, . f Jersey variety, v which is the!" the world.

/HEALTH AUTHORITIES JOIH WAR OH CATS [Although the Hew Jersey Legislature failed to pass the cat license law last Winter, several, municipalities have declined to wait for the state to lead the . way but have adopted «ioes] ordinances , 3 levying a feline tax. A wide-awake sentiment, especially in surbnrban towns, has grown to recognize the cat the worst enemy of wild birds life but in these Jersey communities which have • opened war on cats by local laws, human conservation has been the more vital • issue, with . health boards generally f leading the crusade. * e ' Prominent health authorities have ex- • f pressed the belief that cats have had a ' t large part in spreading infantile parai- 1 P ysis, now epidemic in Haw York vicin- 1 ity. Health officials for many years ? P have regarded the cat as one of the most ' - active agents in carrying disease germs ' • into the home. Microbes find a snug 1 loafing place in pussy's fur, and a child, ' f innocently handling its pet, transfers c > these germs to its hand and thence to ' ' its mouth. Parents in localities threat- * r ened by the epidemic have been warned ' i against permitting children to caress pet f dogs or cats. 0 On outcome of the present fight ' > against the plague is that many physlt- ' i ians already have declared that they will F - join the movement to have the cat-tax v 1 bill passed by the - next Legislature. *■ ' They have adopted the slogan of the * bird conservationist that "The only good ! cat ia a dead cat" f ' i THIRD HEW JERSEY CAVALRY REUHION 1 ' The Third New Jersey Cavalry Vet- ' ' erans Association will hold its twenty- ' ' sixth annual reunion in the hall of Win. ^ !
