AFTERNOON SESSION.
1t was about half-past two o'clock
when Director Smalley called the
Board to order and two little bills, as
follows were taken up and paid: Pierce
& CARL. furniture, $3s so; Gas Com
pany, gas paid, $4.95.
Communication from the State
Asylum showed that there were GA
persons in that institution from this
county.
| A petition was received FROM large
number of Mauricetown voters. asking
that the bridge tenders house at that
place be removed from the east side to
the west side of the river. The petition
set forth that owing to the high tides
and breaking banks, water often sur
rounded the house, and upon one occa-
sion nine il ches of water covered the
first floor of the building.
Argument was produced showing
the necessity of the removal, while
others thought that by raising the
building the tides would not get in on
the floor.
A motion that a committee of Free
holders from Commercial, Maurice
River and the Director be appointed
to investigate the matter and report,
prevailed. The motion was made by
Mr.. Birkinshaw.
Mr.. Cosier asked for committee to
be appointed to meet with him on the
Beaver Dam bridge which was in bad
shape. The following committee was
appointed: Hand, Cosier, Dare, Rich.
mond and Ward.
Mr.. Birkinshaw for the committee
appointed to confer with the County
Collector concerning election appro-
priations" reported as follows:
The undersigned committee ap-
pointed to confer with the County Col
lector as to the feasibility of transfer
ring money from sundry appropria-
tions to the Election Expenses appro-
priation, for the purpose of paying the
expense of the general election. re-
port as follows: We recommend that
the following amounts be transferred
to said Election Expense appropriation
to wit: 81 900 from the Aims House ap-
preparation; $1,000 from the insane ap-
preparation; 1900 from the incidental
