He's been alerted that the highway will be deluged with hikers over the weekend, hikers whose routes will take them past the construction work. And he's issued a plea for' the would-be walkers to reconsider. "There's enough confusion as it is, with the disrupted road shoulders and all that equipment out there.

There are spots where passing is virtually impossible, and walking is highly dangerous. And our highway inspectors are as concerned as I am, Kavanaugh pointed out. He also pointed out that Bedminster Township i -deed the entire Somerset area is studded with beautiful sparsely-traveled county roads, where walking could be a pleasure, and the roads provide a view of something other than more hikers. That is if you want to walk for the sheer pleasure and not be part of the current 50-mile a day craze.

Bateman of North Branch for re-election, and Lawrence R. Olson of Far Hills for county clerk. The way was paved for Lanigan with an announcement earlier this week that Freeholder Anderson Fowler would not seek re-election, also as expected. Then; at last night's meeting, Ernest T.
