A Model Court House.

Cumberland County wants a Court
House and that badly. It wants pub.
lie buildings and should have them.
But when they decide to do the work.
the Board of Freeholders should 90
up to Woodbury. and take a peep at
one of the best appointed court edi.
fices anywhere. Gloucester county
spent $72, 600 in the work of erecting
this building, and the money has been
well spent. A PIONEER reporter was
taken entirely over the place Thurs.
day. The front door leads you into
main wide corridor, and Immediately
upon the right is the clerks office. A
room nicely furnished with an i'm
mense vault for the keeping of re.
cords. Upon the same side of the
corridor leading back is the Proseu-
tors office, also nicely furnished. The
first room upon the left is the place
of meeting of the Board of Freehold
ers, perfect model. Carpeted nicely,
with great heavy leather cushioned
revolving chairs, and large tables of
cherry. Upon platform is the desk
OF the Director, County Collector and
Clerk. The room is heated from an
open CRATE fire place. The building
itself is heated by steam. The second
story is devoted to the court room,
reached by easy climbing stone steps.
The room is fitted up in light wood,
and the auditorium is upon an in
clined floor. There is also large
gallery. Inside the rail the floor is
carpeted. The chairs are upholstered
in leather. The reporter was shown
the place where George Dunham sat
during his trial. Pleasant quarters
are provided for the reporters. The
bench is upon raised platform, nicely
arranged, and the chairs of the judges
are massive and comfortable.
In the rear of the room is the private
room of the Judge and the consulta-
ton room for the lawyers. The pris-
oners are led from the Jail up a back
stairway. The third story is devoted
to the Jury rooms. nicely appointed.
On the building is tower with clock
set in it, from which the PIONEER man
got good view of Philadelphia, eight
miles distant. The grounds are being
laid out to correspond with the ele.
gance of the building. 1t is indeed
model edifiee, and we hopezs.t5 sae ia,
similar one in this city soon.

HOW CROPS LOOK.
A Splendid Showing for New
Jersey.

The April bnlletin issued by the
Statistician of the Department of
Agricultural is the most interesting
document issued from Washington for
some time. 1t deals particularly with
the condition of the winter grain and
the condition of farm animals in the
State of New Jersey. Under the head
OF grain, it is stated that the autumn
seeding of grain was commenced Sep.
tember 1st and continued until the
latter part of October All through
out the country the present appear.
ance of the crop, after the ordeal of
freezing and thawing, is not promis.
ing. 1t is expected that good weather
will make an improvement. The
average of the present condition all
over the United States, is only so,
which is the lowest it has been for
ten years. It is very much below the
average of April returns for this
period. The percentage of the con-
dition in New Jersey is unusually
fiattering. Wheat is quoted at 95 and
rye at 81 which is high and only ex-
ceeded by California;, which averages
"a in wheat and 81 in rye. The county
reports as collated. gave the following
statement of the crop throughout the
State: Union, generally good, Essex,
good and growth strong; Bergen re-
ceives 100 for growth; Cape May had
hard winter ON wheat, it is backward
but part of this may be charged to
the late spring; Atlantic, middling;
Middlesex, fine and growth good, ex-
cept in fiat places, where it is dis
colored Gloucester made good early
growth and came through the winter
in good condition, except late snow;
Burlington, good even stand, few in
jured places, not large but healthy,
and the outlook favorable; Morris.
good in condition and growth; Cam-
den, growth below average, soil was
too wet after seeding; Hnnterdon,
favorable prospects for good crop;
Sussex, fine growth and healthy;
Mercer stood the winter well and
begins to look green.
The report shows that the hfoss of
horses during the year was large. The
epidemic of cerebro spinal meningitis
that spread through the five lower
counties added to the number There
were in the State "a, 397 horses; the
loss was 1916. The percentage was
equal to Pennsylvania and Virginia.
which is 1.6 per cent.
The cattle have passed good winter.
Pleuro pneumonia existed in the upper
part of the State, particularly in the
vicinity of Jersey City. The loss in
the State is light. Out of 246,655 head
of cattle, the loss was 1920, or about
nine per cent. of the whole. 1t is the
lowest average in the list of States and
Territories.
Disease and dogs are beginning to
make bad showing among the sheep.
1.395 died during the year from these
two causes. The total number on
record is 105,276
When it is remembered what strug-
gle this State has had with hog cholera,
and that there still exist traces of it in
Warren and Salem counties, the loss of
swine last year is comparatively small.
1t was only 1909, or about 1.6 per
cent. of the total number, which is

Board OF Education.

Aspecial meeting of the Board of
Education was held at the Council
Chamber, Monday evening, April 30th.
Members present-Messrs Lambert,
Silvers, Bright, Peck, Kienzle, Whita-
ker, Ayres and Supt. Sharp.
The minutes OF the last regular meet
ing were read and adopted.
Supt. Sharp reported that the meet.
ing had been called to take some ac-
ton in regard to Loder and Carmel
school. II seems the bill which set off
that part of the city in which these
schools are located made no provision
for setting off any school district, and
in order to accomplish this object it
would be necessary to arrange with
the County Superint endent to set off
the two schools into q new district.
Supt. Moore, who was present by
invitation, stated that his work was so
crowded that it would be impossible
for him to do the work alone, as it
would be necessary to prepare maps.
&C., but if the Board of Education was
willing to assist in the matter he would
have the schools set Off
Supt Sharp stated that to make the
necessary maps would involve some
expense, and If was question whether
the Board would rather meet this eX-
pense or run the schools at Carmel and
Loder, and take the risk of the resident
of that locality making up the differ
ence between what they would receive
of the State appropriation, and the
amount necessary to run the schools,
which would be nearly $780,
Mr.. Sharp further stated that the
Board of Education had no right to
pay the bills which would be incurred
in making the maps, as the law pro-
hibited them from using money for
any other purpose than that for which
it was appropriated.
On motion of DR.. Peck, it was ordered
that Supt. Sharp go before the City
Council and lay before that body the
facts in the case, and request them to
meet the necessary expense, and if
they consent, for him to proceed in the
matter for the Board of Education.
Bill of w. B. Croft, laid over at last
meeting, was taken up and passed.

Those who have paid any attention
to runaway accidents know that the
most of them occur in the spring of
the year. A veteran horse owner who
was speaking on this subject recently,
said that it was not safe to leave a
horse, however good its temper, unat.
tended at this season of the year. He
explained that the animals are now
shedding, and are in an intensely ner-
vous and irritable condition, their
skins itching and smarting from the
changes they have undergone.

If the committee appointed at the
meeting of Council on Tuesday of last
week, want to be informed of some
available sites for city hall, they have
only to mention the fact among the
people down town, and they will be
informed of many places, which are
just suitable to the needs of the city.
Among those mentioned are the First
Presbyterian Church property, the
corner now occupied by NJ. w. Apple
gates marble yard, the Obledoble
property, near the Mayors office, the
Harris property, corner of Orange and
Commerce streets, and the old Cum
berland Bank property. The latter is
spoken of favorably by two or three of
the Councilmen. Said one: I'VE must
fix upon some site soon and secure If,
or we will be obliged to go out in the
country for a site. We do not have to
build Immediately if our finances will
not permit, and that is one reason why
favor the purchase of the old bank
property. Then with the expenditure
of few..dolars, we have building
which will suit admirably for a City
Hall, for short time at least. The
Mayors Office can be arranged upon
the first floor, while splendid room
for Councils meetings could be had
up stairs. In the rear of the lot could
be built small lookup, and for a time
at least, we should be well fixedn
This property it is said, can be pur-
chased for about So, 600.
The new West Jersey freight depot
presented an active appearance on
Saturday. 1t was the opening day,
when freight was to be received and
delivered there for the first time.
Freight agent Garwood was on hand
all day, and said he felt like a cat in a
strange garret. He felt almost home
sick because he did not hear the clirp-
ing little sparrows that have taken
possession at the old quarters. He
says however that if the birds will re-
"'ii ny oiAot o9luoy iSe'A zllas q least
upon the depot The teamsters didn't
know how and when to deliver their
freight, and there was more or less
confusion. All wagon loads Of freight
that are delivered, must be drawn upon
the platform scales, and the weight
given in. This was not done at the
old quarters, and the teamsters many
times failed to fully understand! But
allof this will soon become a matter
of course, and the new depot will be a
popular place to do business. 1t may
not work SO well for teamsters how.

chants have already commenced to
cart their own freight. av.x xxG srg !.
