-Tree New Market The Piscataway Township Board of Education last night awarded two school bus transportation contracts and rejected a bid for another bus route. The three routes were rearranged by the board at its last meeting. Present bus contracts for seven other routes were continued then. A contract was awarded Robert Beirn who bid $1,800 for the transportation of pupils to the Middlesex County Girls Vocational School in Woodbridge. He was the only bidder.

The new route is 10 miles longer than the old one and provides for the transportation of children of the Bound Brook Heights area. Beirn also was awarded a contract for the transportation of the seventh and eighth grades in Arbor to New Market School, a new route. The contractor bid $1,375. Apother bid was submitted by the Ambrose Garage and Service Station for $1,600. Declared Too High Rejected as too high was a bid from Sol Vinik Inc.

for the transportation of children to Holmes Marshall and New Market Schools. This route would require two buses, the first traveling from University Heights to Rosshall Heights and thence to Holmes Marshall School; and the second starting at New Market near the Bakelite Corporation plant, traveling to Holmes Marshall School and thence to New Market School, taking children off the first bus at Hoe's Lane and transporting them to New Market School. Vinik was the only bidder. A motion was passed rescinding the board's action at its last meet reeled to ask Vinik to extend the route as it is at present. Action on the bids followed a halt hour executive session.

A $10,000 bond issue was sold to Homer O'Connell and Company, New York, on the company's bid of $10,020.50 at interest of 2.70 per cent. The funds will be used to complete the New Market School addition. Other bidders were Campbell and Company of Newark for at interest of 2.75 per cent, and the People's National Bank, New Brunswick, for $10,026.66 at interest of 2.75 per cent. Ola Larson of Metuchen will repair the floor in the kindergarten of New Market School at a cost of $25 per day, plus cost of boards needed to replace those which have buckled. Lowery Dinner Proposed Referred to the regular board meeting Aug.

15 was a letter from Maurice W. Rowland, former president of the Middlesex County School Board Association, which suggested local boards adopt a resolution on the retirement of Dr. M. L. Lowery, county superintendent, and perhaps have him as guest of honor at a future dinner meeting of the association.

Miss Elizabeth Sarkady of Trenton was hired as teacher in the New Market School reception grade at a salary of $2,600 per year. John B. Richards, architect, reported that major work in the addition to New Market School is slated for completion by Aug. 15. He said it probably would be possible to set up furniture there in a week, and thinks the addition should be ready for use when school opens in September.

Councilman Piddington reported he is investigating a plan to eliminate parking on either side of Washington Ave. in the area of the railroad tracks so that a four-lane road may be used success Rail Crossing Status Told Metuchen At a meeting of Council last night Councilman H. Ramsey Crowell revealed the results of a private conference last ucek between the Pennsylvania Railroad and Council over the status of the Grove Ave. crossing and the possibility of constructing a footbridge across Main St. near the passenger station.

Both projects, especially the crossing, have been sore spots with Council for some time. Crowell told Council that the conference had been attended by both the divisional engineer and master carpenter for the railroad. These disclosed that two other grade crossings have a higher priority but, if the New Jersey State Highway Department can be induced to budget the work for 1350 or 1951, the project can be gotten under way. Crowell stated that he was "not too optimistic at the moment The cost of a footbridge, $12,000, is prohibitive, the engineer repealed. It was suggested that the objective could be accomplished by emending the railing which runs underneath the bridge on the east sioe.

This extension would prevent pedestrians from, crossing at the spot near the bridge which has proved dangerous. Crowell also expressed the hope that an easement on the north side of the railroad west of Main St. could be obtained. This would enable cars to make a right turn at the bridge and circle back to town and to the parking lots through Pearl St. fully.

He added that the Acme Pays $25 Fine For Destroying Property New Market Edwin W. Robinson of Camp Kilmer was fined $25 by Magistrate A. M. Johnson night in Municipal Court on a charge of being drunk and disorderly and destroying property. Andrew Tarter of New Brunswick, charged with driving without his driver's license or registration in his possession, forfeited $6.75 as fine and costs on the first charge and $1.75 as costs on the second.

William J. Williamson Jr. of Camp Kilmer received a suspended sentence and paid $1.75 costs for operating a motor vehicle without a driver's license. Market, located at Washington and North has consented to allow 'patrons of other stores in that block to use its parking lot off the Metuchen Public hearings on two ordinances failed to produce objections and both were approved at a meeting of Borough Council last night. One ordinance authorizes construction of a sanitary sewer extension in portions of Hampton PI.

and Amboy Ave. at a total cost of $18,000. The second provides an extension in Grove Ave. at a cost of $8,000. Both would be improvements to be assessed against property owners benefiting.
