ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ESSEX COUNTY BOARD
OF FREEHoLDERs.-The regular annual meeting OF
the Essex county Board OF Chosen Freeholders was
held at the Court House in this city yesterday fore
noon. The report OF the Incidental Inspection Com
mittee shows that the expenditures have decreased
nearly 81 500 during the past year, compared with
the figures Of last. The usual reports from the
various committees were received. There had been
expended for making various improvements about
the Court to House Soo Ss seOo $4,000 OF ne ss, war
poll tax had been paid. Nearly S29,o 600 had been
expended on bridges in Bloomfield, and
construction OF High Bridge excited some comment
as to the character OF the work. Some claimed that
It not built well as 1t might be, ana others
went SO far as to say that 1t was dangerous for |
traffic Others again explained that the jar OF trains
and the action Of the frost were the cause Of the
shlp-oh no. The county physicians report is |
quite an interesting document. It sets forth that
the whole number OF cases amounted TO 1873 |
during the year past, being a decrease compared |
with the past two years. "rhS decrease the offi-
cial sets forth IN the aggregate owing mainly to
remarkable diminutlon in the frequency of still.
born births and to some extent, OF railroad acci-
dents, and OF deaths from the effect OF heat While
in 1867 TO 1868 the number OF stiilborn and prema-
ture births which came under the Jurisdiction OF the
county physician reached the astounding figure OF |
sac5 0cs cases during the past YEAR: more
normal proportion" From deaths by external |
causes,n there were thirty drowned nine |
suicides. Relative TO the cases OF drowning the |
county physician says:-'A city ordinance should |
be passed making 1t obligatory for every landlord to
have his cisterns closed and provided with pumps, |
or else securely guarded by a sufficiently high en- |
closure as to prevent such accidents. They are |
preventable accidents The report further shows
cases in the year past. there were only two In 1867
and six in lse9 Therefore the passage Of law |
properly regulating and restricting the ndlscriml.
nate sale OF polsons has become an imperative ne.
cessity.r
After tne usual rOulinc business tne Board ad- |
ourned sine de to enjoy dinner at the expense OF
tue county.
