Morgan Street is often confused with Morgan Boulevard, with which it intersects. In recent years a portion of the corridor has also been renamed Holtec Boulevard.

Morgan Street runs from Broadway, opposite the old New York Shipbuilding Corporation shipyard, to South 10th Street. It crosses the Pennsylvania Railroad (now Conrail) railroad tracks, South 6th Street, Interstate Highway Route I-676, South 7th Street, South 8th Street, South 9th Street, and Morgan Boulevard, until it reaches its terminus at South 10th Street and the newer section of Morgan Boulevard that extends to Mount Ephraim Avenue. In recent years, addresses on Morgan Street have been labeled as Morgan Boulevard.

Fire Guts 5 Vacant Camden Homes CAMDEN — The three-alarm fire that destroyed five vacant homes early Thursday in the 700 block of Morgan Boulevard has been ruled an arson. One city firefighter was taken to Cooper Hospital/University Medical Center in Camden, where he was treated for electrical shock and released. It was not immediately known how he was injured. His name was not immediately available, said Deputy Chief Fire Marshal John Mills. Mills said the blaze started on the porch or just inside a vacant home at 719 Morgan Boulevard shortly before 4 a.m. It quickly went to three alarms as the fire spread to homes at 713, 715, 717 and 721 Morgan Boulevard. Firefighters arriving on the scene found the two-story wood-frame rowhomes fully involved in smoke and flames and immediately began protecting an occupied home at 723 Morgan Boulevard, separated from the other homes by a small alley. Five residents of that home were evacuated, but were allowed to return home about an hour later, he said. City firefighters fought the blaze for about 50 minutes before declaring it under control. Mills said all the homes had been vacant for several years; several of them already had been damaged by previous fires. He said vagrants and homeless people were known to frequent the homes, and said several people were seen running from the home shortly before the fire was discovered.

Power Lines Kill Boy, Camden Man

Farmhand Electrocuted In Salem County; Lineman Dies at Woodbury

A lineman was electrocuted at Woodbury and a farm hand at Woodstown yesterday. Walter Higgins, 40, of 901 Morgan street, Camden, survived two previous experiences only to lose his life at Woodbury. William B. Peterson, of Whig Lane, Pilesgrove, Salem County, lost his life while plowing a field.

Higgins came in contact with the wire shortly after the noon luncheon period ended, while working atop a 30-foot pole. Fellow workmen sought to revive him while the Underwood Hospital ambulance was speeding to the scene. After he was taken to the hospital, attendants tried for three and one-half hours to resuscitate him. Finally Dr. Ralph L. Moore pronounced the man dead. Higgins was employed by Public Service. Coroner W. J. Burkett, of Pitman, took the case.

Peterson was plowing a field when he noticed a wire hanging from a road light in his way. He stooped to pick it up and throw it over a fence. As he did the wire came in contact with a high voltage wire overhead and he fell. Elmer Evans and Paul Duffy, nearby farmers, ran to his aid but were powerless to help him as smoke was coming from his shoes. Dr. C. Walter Thomas, Woodstown, pronounced him dead. Coroner B. Noel Gross issued the death certificate. The youth was one of six children of Mr. and Mrs. Burr Peterson.
