street bridge, Burlington, the eastern APP
proach to which had been weakened by a
freshet.
Messrs Gale, Storey, Younker, Dennis
and Stackhouse were appointed to view
the Washington street bridge. Mount
Holly.
Mr.. Gale offered q resolution donating
$50 to the Good Intent Fire Company,
and $50 to the Union Fire Company.
Mr. Wright opposed this resolution be-
cause there were other ire companies in
the county that were entitled to the same
consideration from the county treasury as
the Mount Holly organizations.
Mr.. Gale thought the fire companies at
the county seat had little more claim
than those outside. as they kept watch
on the county property. There were four
companies in Mount Holly, two of which
were given a donation at the February
meeting, and there should be no partiali-
ty.
Mr.. Vansciver asked if there was to be
5000 given each year for this purpose.
The resolution was laid on the table.
The claim of Andrew Wright, for SER
vices during Mr.. Braddock's term, was
taken up.
Joseph H. Gaskill, for Mr.. Braddock,
made statement substantially the same
that Mr.. Grigg made at the previous
meeting
Mr.. Vansciver thought there was but
one thing to do, and that was to pay Mr.
Wrieht's claim and then see that Brad
dock refunded whatever balance he had
in his possession due the county.
Clerk Antrim was paid his salary of
500, with $50 additional for special SER
vices.
The directors salary of $25 was paid.
An attempt was made to give ex-Solici-
tor Grigg $25 for his extra work during
the year, but the motion was lost.
John w. Davis, undertaken at Beverly,
was given permission to speak with refer

The New SCHOOL Building.


The meeting to consider the PROPOSE
ton to build new school house for
Mount Holly will undoubtedly be largely
attended, as public interest in the ques-
ton has been thoroughly awakened.
That a new school building is an actual
necessity Is admitted by all, and there is
no doubt that those who will gather at
the Court House on Friday evening will
promptly vote for any proposition that
will give better facilities for educational
advancement.
The NEWS has been canvassing the sub
iect the past week, and finds that the
project which seems to be most favorably
considered is to erect an additional build
ing on the Brainerd street lot, which
would be used as central or high school,
and would be so arranged as to accommo-
date, with the present brick building on
Button wood street, about 400 pupils, the
old buildings on the lot to be abandoned
and torn down.
Then erect two more buildings in differ
emit localities, to be devoted to the prim-
airy departments, and to accommodate
200 to $50 pupils each. This would give
facilities for 300 children, about 200 more
than now enrolled. OF course the matter
of the number of pupils to be arranged
for would be made to conform to the en-
rollment of primary and other scholars.
The parents of the younger children
are especially favorable to plan that
will relieve their little ones from beini
compelled to walk so far every day to and
from school. There il one objection t
the latter plan, and that is that 1T woulC
remove the pupils from the supervision o
the principal. But the day has arrived
when the principal of the Mount Holl,
, school must be something more than
} mere teacher. He must be superin
tendent in fact az well as in name, an
must give his entire attention to super

To he Abandoned.


The stockholders of the Vincentown
Branch railroad, which runs from Vim.
centown to Ewanville, are considerably
agitated over the announcement that the
road is to be abandoned by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, which now operates it
under the lease by which the latter gained
acquisition of the United Railroads OF
New Jersey.
1t is well known that the road has not
paid expenses for long time, but that is
the case with many of the lines operated
by the Pennsylvania. Under the terms
ofthe lease it was thought that the latter
company was compelled to run certain
number of trains daily and pay the in
terest on the stock and bonds, but it is
now a question whether the same means
that were employed in the abandonment
of the Pemberton and Hightstown road
may not be brought into play in this case.
Should the scheme prove successful it
is possible that the Union Transportation
Company may take hold of the aban-
doned branch, and also, the Columbus,
Kinkora and Springfield road, and run
them in connection with its present fran
chise.
Following the announcement in the
Vincentown road. came letter to the
Directors of the Mount Holly, Lumber
ton and Medford Railroad Company, stat
ing that the Pennsylvania management
desired the former body to make some ar
rangements to run the road, as it was too
much of an expense in its present shape.
The last communication was somewhat
different from that sent to the Vincen-
town directors, inasmuch as it did not in
innate that the lease would be broken if
the request was not complied with. The
reason for this is said to be that the Med
ford lease is one of the strongest drawn,
and that it would be impossible to break
it.
The stockholders of the Medford road
should not give up without contest.
The Pennsylvania management claims
that the road ran behind 1000 last year.
This may be SO, but if it is a fact there is
no doubt that the lessees are largely re-
sponsible for the condition of affairs
They have so arranged the schedule that
few of its trains make close connections
with trains leaving Mount Holly station,
commuters were driven from the road be-
cause they could not secure any advan-
tages, persons having freight were COM
PEELED to ship by roundabout route, and
other little matters have been 80 arranged
as to act in detrimental manner.
