BOROUGH COUNCIL MEETING

The Council met Tuesday evening,
all the members being present. A few
current bills were ordered paid. Job
Barber was present and told of the ad.
vantage it would be to the town in gen.
eral and himself in particular for the
Council to allow him to put a chain
through a trunk under Delaware Ave-
nue. so he could put his capstan on the
opposite side of the street and thus be
allowed to extend his marine railway Is
or 20 feet further. He said he would
sign any. agreement the Council may
wish. The matter was left for further
investigation by the Council.
Town Clerk Kille reported only four
dogs registered. 1t was thought an in
justice to those who had their dogs reg
istered TO not take some action to get
others registered, as it also deprived
the town of a revenue. On motion
Charles Phillips was appointed dog kill
er or catcher. He is to be paid SOC for
every dog killed and buried. The own
er can redeem the dog after being
caught by paying the ,$lNlicense fee.
The following committee was appointed
on dogs: Smalley, Cromptohand Leap.
There was a lengthy and spirited dis.
cussion on whether street lights should
be erected. Some thought that 1t would
be best to wait for a year before erect
ing street lamps because there was not
enough money appropriated to light all
the town as it should be and there
would be more dissatisfaction by erect
ing lamps where most needed than if
there none at all. The plea Of economy
was also advanced as some wished to
lower taxes and accumulate a surplus.
The plea for erecting kerosene lamps
was given on the ground that the mon
ey had been appropriated, that they
were expected, clamored for and badly
needed, that no other mode of lighting
our streets would be within the means
of our town for ten years, that several
citizens who now maintain lamps at
their own expense would give them to
the Borough if they were cared for;
with these and the 500 appropriated
our town could be fairly lighted, by
from so to 60 lamps. A lamp lighter
would cost S12 per month. The Street
Light committee was instructed to find
out how many citizens would give their
lamps to the Borough, about how many
more were needed, a closer estimate of
the cost and maintenance of the lamps
and report at the next meeting.

John L. CLARK and Elias Dulbow, of

Jaquette, of Wright district. Twenty

On Tuesday afternoon the Board net

County Superintendent Gwynne was
present and explained the provisions OF
the new school law. The old law allow
ell some of the school fund to be used
for supplies and repairs when the dis
trlct received over SIS per child. by per
mission of the County Superintendent
This has been allowed in many cases as
the receipts of the districts in Salem
county has averaged over So per child.
Thus Il district school tax has many
Times been avoided. The new law re-
peals that act and consequently an eX-
ira school tax will have to be raised
each year to meeting many incidental
expenses. Three other new laws also
impose extra expense on the people. The
requirement of free school books and
supplies, the purchase of flags and the
requirement Of hygiene and temperance
instruction.
1t was ordered that "a Township
school tax of $500 be raised this year,
S4oO of it being necessary to comply
with the new law: Central had ordered
SlOO district tax TO build a new fence
and other repairs. That will make 10c
extra tax on Sl00 in the Township.
Mr.. Gwynne also gave a list of text
books, which he has compiled with the
assistance of experienced teachers. 1t
is designed to have a uniformity of
text books in the County SO that when
a child moves from one township to
another he can proceed to study in the
same books. The questions for Coun-
ty Examinations can then be taken
from the same books which all pupils
have studied aud every n will be
treated fairly in not being questioned
special points in books they have
never studied.

Miss Marie Ford, daughter of G. G.
Ford, of Salem, was seriously injured
on Tuesday by being thrown from her
horse.
At a meeting of the voters of Man
nington township, held on Wednesday
evening 18th, the following persons were
chosen as school trustees: j.. r. Hack
EFT, Richard T. Thompson, Elmer H.
Smith, Oliver Smith, Samuel c. Allen,
Henry Bassett, Joseph B. Crispin. John
W. Moore and William N. Stewart.
John W, Dubois, ~liveryman, of
Woodstown, begun suit on Tuesday, in
Justice Woods Court, at Salem, in the
sum of $50, against Frank b. Feter.
son, of W~oodstown. The suit was
brought to o damages which MI.
Dubois alleges to be due him for a horse
which he claims Peterson drove to
death. The case will be tried early
next week.
The Monitor. Register says the new
school law works to the detriment of the
Woodstown schools than otherwise, in
that it cuts off a large number of
scholars that have been attending from
the township, and likewise reduces the
available funds for the schools, and
compels the taxpayers OF the boz pugh
to raise whatever funds are needle | for
the school. There is some talk of con
solidating with the township, which
a be done, If a majority Of the voters
shall so decide at a special meeting
called for the purpose. Such a CONSOLE
dation would insure better and more
uniform support of u schools, and
better advantages for children now liv-
ing adjacent in the township, and who
have been in the habit of attending our
schools.

Our National Thanksgiving DIV.

The national observance of Thanks
giving day was brought about by a
woman. Mrs. Sarah j. Hale, of Phila-
delphia, began about 1914 to urge,
through the magazine of which she
had charge, and by personal CORE
spondenco with the governors of
states and with presidents of the
United States, that Thanksgiving day
should be made a national festival,
and be held on the same day through
out the country. Her suggestion was
adopted twenty years later by Presi-
dent Lincoln, and the observance Of
Thanksgiving by the nation has now
become established.-United Presby-
terian.
