and requests farmers to forward TO the de-

W. w. Case, Of Baptisttown, \. j., fol-
lowed with a comprehensive address on
"Money-making and lioney-makiBg." His
address was followed by q discussion.
A resolution was introduced to the ef-
feet that in the future committees arrang-
ing for speakers should be careful not to
select any who would be liable to make
political addresses.
The presentation of this resolution was
brought about by the political nature OF
Mr.. Taylor's address before the Board the
previous evening having caused considera-
BILE feeling among certain members of the
Board.
After much discussion, it was thought
best not to trAmmel the Executive COM
mittee, and the resolution was lost.
Mr.. Pancoast, Of Salem, introduced 6
resolution calling for the appointment of
of a standing Committee IN Taxation of
Property, to consist Of five members, they
to request the House of Assembly and
Senate to a appoint a similar committee to
act in conference and prepare a bill taxing
all personal property and real estate alike,
of whatever character.
The Committee ON Weights and Meas
ures, appointed last year, reported that
much complaint is made Of the many So
called standards in different places, in
many cases within a short distance of each
other.
The Committee on Roads reported pro-
gress, but were unable to submit a draft of
the proposed bill as yet. They expressed
the belief that the new law, abolishing the
present road overseers, and placing the
care and improvement of the roads entirely
in the hands of the township committees,
would become a law during the present
session of the Legislature.
Remarks were made by Messrs. Collins,
Baldwin and others, in favor of striking
out the provisions of the present law, that
tax payer smay elect to work oat their taxes
on the roads, leaving that feature in the
hands of the township committee TO decide.
The report was accepted.
A lengthy discussion Of the question Of
Institute Work In County Boards drew
out the views of many prominent farmers,
and a resolution was finally adopted ask
ing that the Executive Committee hold at
least one Institute in each county during
the year.
