SPECIAL MEETING.
The Board of FreehOlders Will
Meet at MauricetOWn.

The Board of FreehOlders Will
Meet at MauricetOWn.
By order of three members of the
Board of Freeholders, the clerk of
that institution has called a special
meeting for Saturday next, to be held
at Mauricetown in the post office st
noon.
The meeting Is called for the purpose
of considering the necessity of the
Board of Freeholders taking charge of
the road leading from Mauricetown
bridge to the West Jersey railroad
depot. This road Is at times impass-
able, and at the best very miserable,
and Maurice River township does not
seem able to take the necessary steps
for repairs.
A petition has been circulated, and
several hundred signatures have been
affixed to 1t requesting the Board of
Freeholders to meet for the purpose
of ''viewing, acquiring, maintaining,
and assuming the full and exclusive
control" of that road.
The meeting will no doubt be we'll
attended and some very interesting
opinions are likely to be heard.

ONLY $3.50 PER TON.

Farmers Will Get a Lower Price.
A PIONEER reporter interviewed a
very prominent tomato packer the
other day, and he spoke freely of the
business, its present condition and
future prospects.
At present he said, the business wes
very dull in good goods. There was
some demand for cheap stuff, but prac-
tically none for the more desirable
stuff. Most of the packers, he said,
were complaining that considerable
money would be lost by the packers
on last seasons pack.
Last fall there was paid to the farm
ers alone for tomatoes, $175, 900 In cold
hard cash, the producers getting $500
per ton. The coming season the
packers have determined to pay but
$5.50p ton, and farmers are kicking
considerably and some of them declare
that they will not raise tomatoes for
that money.
