important business. After the con-
vsning OF the Board, Mr.. Brooks was
excused.
Mr.. Birkinshaw, of the committee
who had been appointed to see the
| Solicitor reported that according to
law it was necessary for the Board to
meet in body where a bridge was to
cost more than $500. He said how
ever that the Solicitor did not antici-
pate any trouble if the Board allowed
the committee to proceed, without in
curring the expense of the Board meet
ing. A motion was made that the
Board should be present at the site in
Vineland On Friday the 18th, at 10
o'clock. A vote was taken and the
result was 10 to against it,

Mr.. Trenchard, of the Building Com
mittee reported that a change had
been made in the proposed plan for
the new county buildings on Com

by the committee was to make build

Office on the First floor and large vault
in rear of office The Surrogate's Of
flee to occupy the second floor with
vault in rear, on the same floor. A
portion of the vault on the second
floor will be used by the County Clerk,
giving him very much needed room.
The entrance to the Offices will prob
ably be on the west side of the build
ing. The committee thought it best
not to have rooms to rent. Mr..
Trenchard reported that if the build

was probable that it could be finished
by August or September, therefore in.

provided, as the rooms in the Court
