THERE is more kicking over the coro-
ners' bills than any other item," said a
gentleman who witnessed the proceedings
of the Board of Freeholders last week.
Perhaps that is so, but does that prove
that the so-called kicking is not justified
While not the only bone of contention
before the board, this item has caused con-
siderable trouble, and every investigation
of the subject proves that there is still
room for improvement. The actions of
ex-Coroner Kelley are still fresh in MEM
DRY and the report on Wednesday of the
committee appointed to investigate GER
tain complaints, shows that abuses still ex-
list While not discovering anything GRIM
ina1 on the point they were seeking the
committee stumbled on fact that shows
some of the practices of the Office. cor
oner delegated to himself the duties of a
constable in serving papers. The resi-
dence of the constable is at Burlington,
that of the coroner at Fieldsboro. For
serving the papers the constable is en-
titled to mileage of 10 cents per mile It
now leaks out that the coroner charged
his own mileage to Burlington and return,
and then charged constable's mileage from
that city to Bordentown. AS there were
two subpenas to serve he charged double
nllCdSSs due lHC piIouuPtlOu Is II IueTe
had been 20 papers he would have put in
a score of items for mileage. The law
never intended any such practice. If
there are dozen papers to serve in one
town, the officer is clearly entitled to fee
for service on each but certainly not mile
age in each instance, when only one trip
is necessary. This is only one of many
points that are constantly being discov-
cred to show that Kicking ON these bills
is absolutely necessary and it is hoped
the Board of Freeholders will not relax its
scrutiny and Investigation of them
in any case. AS Mr. Cline remarked
when making his report-"C oroners and
constables seem to think they are here
for the purpose of getting all the county
will give" There is no desire to keep
from them the fees to which the law en-
titles them, but when either officer gets
more than is legally his due, he should be
called down in manner that will not
allow a repetition of the action.

OVER two years ago the Board of Free
holders, with laudable desire to save ex-
pense, adopted resolution that the engi-
neer who does the surveying for a stone
road shall also make the map for the COM
missioners who assess the benefits Prior
to that time when the commissioners met
they engaged an engineer to measure and
survey, thus proving or verifying the fig
Since the adoption of the resolution this
custom has ceased and several roads have
been accepted on the single measurement,
with one exception. Not long ago a
board of commissioners was appointed to
view road, one of whom was practical
engineer. For some reason they declined
to assess the property owners until they
were positive that the figures on which
they were to work were correct They d.
rected their engineer member to measure.
He did so and found that the county had
been given a certificate that there were a
thousand 1inea1 feet in the road that ex-
listed only on paper. This meant the pay
ment from the county treasurer of about
$1,000 more than was due. Luckily, the
county reserves percentage of the cost of
all roads for a certain time, so that this
sum will not be lost, but there was a mar
row escape This incident opens the
question whether the resolution of two
years ago is not mistaken economy. No
body claims that this case was other than
the result of carelessness or incompetency,
but call it by whatever name you please,
it would have been rather expensive for
the county if it had not been discovered.

TUESDAY. MAY Ii. 1897.

CONSIDERABLE comment has been oc-
casioned by an opinion of Solicitor Cham
bers rendered to the Board of Freeholders
on Wednesday to the effect that the county
should not pay the costs of commitment
and transportation of poor persons from
townships to the poor house. That the
county has been bearing this expense for
years appears to many to be valid reason
for continuing to do so. but that is simply
no argument at all. Mr.. Chambers opin-
ion is undoubtedly based upon law. An
act of 1880 recites the proceedings to be
taken for the removal of a person to the
almshouse, and gives the steps necessary
to declare legal residence of the app1i-
cant. In 1882 another law was passed
providing that all costs for removal not
otherwise provided for in carrying out the
first act shall be paid by the township.
There is no law anywhere authorizing the
county to pay these bills although it has
done so for several years-possibly because
nobody objected. The refusal to continue
to pay is correct. The persons sent to the
almshouse are not county charges until
they reach that institution. On the same
line of business the state should pay for
the commitment and transportation of
patients to the insane asylum. But it
does not do SO. The move made on We'd
nesday to correct this error of long stand
ing was a good one.
In AN examination of the accounts of
the late George S. Duryee, who was Com
missioner of Banking and Insurance when
he died, the State discovers that the Com
missioner converted to his own use fees
amounting to $I2, 900. No dishonesty is
charged in connection with this retention,
as Mr.. Duryee acted under the advice OF
ex-State Attorney General Stockton. The
new Attorney General, however, is said
to differ on the subject from his pre-
decessor, and holds that the fees must be
paid into the state treasury. Here are
two distinct and separate opinions on the
same subject by two eminent officials. II
they cannot agree, is it not time that the
courts should decide? And is it not time
that this question of returning fees should
be settled definitely, thus stopping the
discussions that occur periodically, only
to end in talk? If the estate of Mr.. Dur.
zee is indebted to New Jersey, let it be SO
decided, but why select this one instance
as an example? Why not try the law on
ex-Secretary of State Kelsey3 He has ad
mitted the retention of fees, and if his own
admission is insufficient, there is plenty
of evidence in existence in the report Of
the Senate Investigating Committee Let
the courts give decision that will forever
settle all controversy. Until this is done,
at least one ex-official will rest under q
cloud that he, if no one else, should use
strenuous efforts to dispe1. Let the Dur
zee matter be investigated, but dom ignore
the case of Henry c. Kelsey. Turn the
search light of the courts upon it.

Cot any bear meat?"
The question was addressed by the
lounger to purveyor of flesh, fish and
fowl says the Dallas CTeX.) News.
No, haven't had any bear meat on
sale since left Waco replied the deal
er in meats.
Indeed" he continued, after q re-
Elective pause, wild bear meat is eN-
ceedingly rare nowadays. Once in
awhile n butcher gets hold of tame
bear, whose owner tinds him to be more
trouble and expense to keep than he
cares to incur, and sells him to the
butcher. These pet bears are always
fat and tender, but they haven't that
fine, gamey flavor so higly priced in the
wild black bear. In fact, the taste of
tame bear meatis very similar to that of
an old fat hog. 1t takes n connoisseur
to detect the difference. / once knew a
butcher who bought pet bear and put
the meat on sale for Christmas. The
carcass was exhibited in the skin, to
show that it was a genuine bruin, and
it sold like hot cakes for so cents a
pound. 1t went so fast that it was all
gone before the butcher knew it, and he
had numerous calls for more. A bright
idea struck him, and he gave it out that
he would have another bear on sale the
next day. He bought up three or four
big, fat, aged hogs. When one was
killed he was skinned, the head and
hoofs removed, and the carcass wrapped
up in bruins hide. Like the genuine
article, it went Off rapidly at so cents
q pound. This game was kept up until
all the bear-hungry people of the town
were satisfied, and none were any the
wiser. They smacked their lips over
fat old swine, which, having outlived
| their usefulness in another capacity,
were fattened, butchered and sold as
fine, fat bear"
