The September meeting of the county
Freeholders was held in the Court House
at Salem on Wednesday. The usual rou-
tine of reading bills was the first business
disposed Of.
Mr.. Haynes made a motion that the
action of the Boa.d at the last meeting,
appropriating a sum not exceeding $500
for the purchase of a law library for the
county, be r~econsidcred, as considerable
objection had been made to expanding
county money for that purpose in the
present state of the county finances. NJ.
p. Grey, Esq, and NJ. II. Stratton, Esq,
appeared before the board and spoke in
favor of the motion passed by the Board
last mont authorizing the purchase Of
the books, and asked that 10 contrary
action be taken, at least until Judge Reed,
who had been authorized to purchase the
library, had been communicated with in
regard to the matter. Mr.. Haynes motion
was lost by a vote OF 6 to 6.

CURED to agree that he will not sell cider

| Quinton desiring the Board to remove OBJ
| structions at a bridge in that township was
read, and the board decided that it was the
place of said committee to attend to the
matter.
At the afternoon session the following
| applications were presented for the position
| of bridge tender at PENIS Neck bridge:
| Chas. Rice, SIS. 50 per month; Josiah Far
pey, S15 per month; VIM. Ray, $50 per
month.
The salaries asked were considered rather
extravagant and, ON motion, it was ordered
that the matter Of hiring a tender for this
bridge be laid over until the next meeting.

company was made to put rods on the
county buildings. On motion, ordered
that no rods be placed on the buildings.

| ordered to collect the John Hiarkins' bond
according to law.

town reported that suitable repairs had
been made, and also that repairs had been
| made ON another bridge on the same road.

charged.
The attention Of the board was called 10y
| MIR. Bassett to the unusual strain put on the
bridges of the county by the traction en-
gines that have recently been introduced
in some of the townships, and he advised
that careful attention be paid to the weak
bridges and that new bridges be made
| strong enough to bear the additional strain.
No action was taken in the matter.

bridges would be needed on q new road IN
Lower Pittsgrove, near Willow Grove, and
estimated that they would cost abont $3.50
