DURING the discussion at the meeting
of Freeholders, of the bill of one of the
supervisors of stone roads, it was claimed
that be was absent from his work during
portions of the day. Mr.. Perkins asked
if supervisor was required to be present
at all times. There is but one answer to
this question. Section two of the act
under which he is appointed says he shall
give his entire time to the work, and
fixes ample compensation for so doing,
and it is while this kind of work is being
done that the county expects him to earn
his pay by seeing that the work is being
done according to the specifications, and
saving to the county much larger sum
for repairs in the near future than the
wages be is supposed to earn. The abb
sence or Indifference of the supervisor
who allows defective work in the con-
struction of the roads, not only brings
dscredit on the engineer and expense to
the county, but also serves to bring re-
proachful objections to the efforts of those
WHO are giving lAclI IttuO dAu III uuChCc
to secure for the people of the State a
better system of highways. There is a
disposition on the part of some members
of the Board to be too lenient in this mat
ter of road building. On one road the
contract time has been overrun, and it
was stated that there were not sufficient
workmen employed. All of these items
should be closely watched. This matter
of stone road building is purely business
expensive business, too. Supervisors
who cannot give their entire time and at
tention to the work for S. per day, should
resign. Neglect of few hours may cost
the county hundreds of dollars. The over
running of contract a few days may not
seem much, but it means S. per day for
the supervisor if nothing more. If con-
tractor fails to complete the work in the
time fixed, he should be made to at least
pay the extra per diem drawn by the
supervisor.

Ar EVERY meeting of the Board of Free
holders there is some discussion on the
subject of stone roads. and nearly every
time something new is developed. Last
Wedn esday's proceedings were very in
teresting. The New Jersey Paving and
Construction company had been awarded
the contract to build the road from Cross
Roads in Medford township to Eyesboro'
in Evesham township. There we're sew
eral roads bid on at that time, and the
competition was great. The New Jersey
company was not the lowest, but as there
was doubt whether the lowest bidder
was responsible, the company was given
the contract. On Wednesday, Mr.. Nc
Govern, the agent of the company, APP
peared before the Board and asked to
have the contract annulled on the ground
that there was a mistake in the bid. He
said that be informed the committee OF
the fact the day the bids were opened,
but be never gave public notice of it, and,
notwithstanding he alleges to have known
of the error that day, be, nevertheless al
lowed the bid to be opened and con-
sidered. Accompanying each bill was a
bond for 81, 600 and Mr.. McGoyern sought
to have this released. but the Board re-
fused to accede to his request. This ac-
ton was entirely proper. The require
ment of bond is intended 10 cover just
such cases. 1t is given when the bids are
opened for the express purpose of exclud
ing irresponsible bidders and If there be
those who, in their great desire to gel
contracts, cut prices to ridiculous mar
gin. to compel them to abide by their bids
and do their work faithfully and bstan
TALLY. The New Jersey company had
bid before on such work. That it should
have made an error just now is rather re-
markable. 1t was limited at the meeting
on Wednesday that. after getting home
the discovery was made that freights hac
been raised and that made the difference
Whatever the cause, however, the county
is not party to it, and the bondsmer
should be made to pay the amount OF thu
surety, or the company should be com
PEELED to do the work. If they elect thu
latter, strict supervision should be paid t.
their operations for Mr. McGovern openly
limited that nobody could do honest worl
at the price bid, and to give the contrac
at that rate would compel man to d.
something that he would not want to do
With this understanding the supervise
of the proposed road would be thoroughly
acquainted in advance Of the extraordin
airy watchfulness that would he required
of him. II was figured, on Wednesday
that If the road was bnilt at the prici
named. it would mean probable loss 0
$4,000 to the contractor. Possibly thel
will prefer TO pay the $1,000 bond. l
they sign the contract they should b
compelled TO rieidly follow every item o
the specifications.

The NECESSITY of providing accommoda-
tions for jurors compelled to remain out
all night was again proven last week.
Unable to agree upon verdict the in
evitable result of night session followed.
Ii is all nonsense to say that men should
not be allowed any comforts under such
circumstances. They are entitled to their
rest and there is no justice in making
them sleep on the floor or tables, or in
uncomfortable chairs. On the jury last
week was An elderly gentleman who suf-
fored considerably on account of losing
his rest, and it is possible that serious re-
suits may follow. 1t would not cost the
county much to provide twelve cots for
such emergencies, and the Board of Free
holders should give the matter their at
tention at to-morrow's meeting.
