F~REEBOOTERS MUST GO.

From This Mornings Tribunal
Commenting on the general dissatisfac-
tion with the course of Hudson Countys
Board of F~reeholders, 1.-THE Hackensack
Record says
The day has come when: Boards of
Freeholders should be l~egislated out OF
existence. Som ACTION should be taken
by the next Legislature 50 that counties
can be governed by commissions and in
a thorough businesslike manner. There
is too much chiIdiShneSs in the present
methods. So large a body of men is
cumbersome. The members come from
tho different parts of the counties and
there is too great an opportunity for COM
binations.
No. such. charge as that made against
HudsOn'S Board can be applied to Ber-
gems Board. But in the matter OF ap!
preparations the Board last year made a
very sorry show. Large committees are
no good anyhow. The members get IN
each others way. Put a few good bust
ness men at the helm, who make it their
business to attend to the county's affairs
alone and nothing else, then we will get
better government and government that
will not only show more for the money,
but it viii be more economical
In the agricultural counties there is-a
decided sentiment favorable to the crea-
ton of small commissions in place of The
Boards of ~Freeholders, but the politicians
are opposed to any change. Hudson
could get relief under an act applying
only to frst-class counties, but for that
the acquiescence of Essex would be nee
essary, and people in the latter county
appear to be fairly well satisfied with the
present SYSTEM

ANOTHER TOOL has undertaken the
task OF scattering the seeds of vice far
and wide among the people. A good deal
of nastiness has gradually concentrate
itself in a corner of Coney Island, cover
ing about three blocks. There, it obtrudes
itself upon nobody. Its existence has
been known only to the vicious who
sought it, and to the police who forced 1t
to keep dark.
Now District Attorney tack insists
that it must be scattered and driven out,
and as there is no law to hang or drown
all the wicked people in the world, they
will be planted thin among the respect-
able people, to poison the moral atmos-
phere of all New York and Brooklyn. and
who knows 0 many other places.

MERCER STREET VIADU0T.


Inspector Charles Evans. wha has
charge of the work of grading Mercer
street al the foot of the %viaduct, previous
to laying the macadam pavement. a a
large force of men at work there. He
expects, he says. to have the macadam
pavement laid in about two weeks. After
the maeadam has been down about six
months asphalt pavement will then be
put on top.
The cause of the delay, Inspector Evans
says, is that the garbage which was first
laid there, mas become decomposed and
has sunk about three feet. Now there is
about FIVE feet Of ashes there. which will
make a good foundation on which to lay
the macadam.
Mr.. Evans. while talking to q reporter
of 9Th News" yesterday, said that he
would soon nave a path for bicycles laid
on the southwest side of Mercer street,
which will be about six feet wide and.
which can be used by them while the
work of paving the street is in progress.
