Excerpt from Twelfth Annual Report of the Commissioner of Public Roads: For the Year Ending October 31, 1905 The following is a condensed account of the road work done under the State Aid Law in the different counties this year: Atlantic county completed the boulevard across the meadows from Pleasantville to Atlantic City. This work has been in process of construction Since October, 1902, and its completion means much to Atlantic City, especially since the advent of the automobile. In fact, the owners of these machines could hardly wait for its completion, and are attesting their appreciation of it, by constant use. In addition to the motorists, the farmers and drivers of all kinds of vehicles are seen upon the road from morning until night. No new road we have ever built has had such immediate and constant use as this. The fact is easily explained when we recall that this is the only good road between Atlantic City and the main shore. Its entire length, including the extension through Chelsea Heights, is miles, 3 miles of which were paid for in previous years, leaving miles to be paid for this year. Bergen is unique among the counties of the State, inasmuch as it builds no roads under the provisions of the State Aid Law, leaving this work entirely to its boroughs, villages and townships. The only road constructed under State supervision in this county this year was Midland avenue, which was built by the township of the same name. Its miles connects the improvements of the eastern and western sections of the county. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
