These appropriations are based upon
the actual needs of the county as exhib-
tied from year to year. The needs Of the
and lunatics are increasing with our popu-
aation, and the accommodations for these
classes In our community must be o
~finually IN the Increase.
The appropriations are made with the
strictest economy, and the Board under
no circumstances can exceed them. Tt is,
therefore. necessary that no extrava-
gances whatever must be allowed
Your COMMITTEES as will be seen by re-
ferring to the above estimate have con-
cluded to recommend the following in
creases:-
First. The appropriation for the Aims
by the sum of $40. After careful ex-
animation of the Committee on Almshouse
they find said increase necessary owing
to the increased number of paupers com
united to their care, as well as for fuel
for the old asylum, now used as a paw
lion for the old men. which also n%ecessi-
tates the services of extra engineers
Second, The appropriation for the Peni-
tentiary is increased $500 over that of
last year Said increase is made necessary
owing to the increased number Of prison.
ers now confined in the ~penitentiary.
Heretofore the costs and fines collected
FREH0IDERS TWO
from the prisoners committed to said IN
stitutien were added to the appropria-
tons, as well as moneys received from
the sale of crushed stone, etc. All the
stone quarTied and crushed during the
fiscal year 1857 viii be needed for county
roads. therefore no revenue will be de-
rived from same.
Third, The salaries of the member of
the Boaird is increased $500 over that of
made necessary to pay the salary of six
additional MEMBER to be elected at the
coming election. Under a recent act of
the Legislature the Board will be COM
posed Of ri members Instead of 81, as
noFE constituted. During the present
fiscal ear one additional member was
aQuSd representing East newark whose
salary was not provided for in the pres
the $500 Increase.
The appropriation for stationery and re-
indexing is increased $500 over that of
last year. Said increase is made neces-
sary 10 meet the demands of the Regis
trar of the county, for new deed and
mortgage Books, as well as for retrans-
acting and rebinding of old books We
therefore, after careful examination of
same recommend the above named in
crease.
The appropriation for incidental ex-
penses of a miscellaneous character is
Increased s5,45 over that of last year,

cases of George B. Fielder, Registrar;

amounting IN the aggregate to 1900. Said
appropriation was increased the hereto
fore named amount.
The Appropriation for the payment of
interest on county bonds is increased
s16.9e0 over that of last year. Said in
crease IS fixed under the advice of the
County Collector. who declared 1t to be
an imperative necessity to meet the in
terest on the bonded debt of the county
falling due in the fiscal year 1896-97. and
in anticipation of the interest for the i'm
proving of the sidewalks on the New
PUBIC Road; also paying and improv-
ing the Branch Road; as well as the
erected.
The appropriation for the REDEMPTION
OF the principal of new bridge bonds Is
increased Zoo over that of last wear.
said increase is made necessary TO create
