OF the RICHTER resolution of last week which

senator Parry called attention to the fact
that it is only within a short time that the
duties of the Board have been sufficient to
keep them moderately busy. For long time

proper to raise any salaries, especially when

Few bills that go before the Board of
Freeholders are the subject of SO much
CRITICS 10 as those presented by the coro-
ners. And it has been more than once
shown that the criticism was deserved.
At Wednesdays session one bill was re-
fused outright, another was laid over until
the next meeting, and committee was
appointed to investigate charges made
agail st one of the coroners. There ought
not to be any trouble for these officers to
perform their duties intellgently. The
law distinctly defines their powers
When sudden death occurs, or if q body
is found, the coroner must inquire into
the case. If he is satisfied no blame at
taches to anyone then he must give GER
tifcate. 1t is not necessary to hold an
inquest in every case. 1t is not the prov
ince of the coroner to run the county to
expense merely to settle a dispute be-
tween a physician and a railroad com
pany. The inquest over the body of
Nicholas Schaffer was little less than
farce. There was abundant proof that
the deceased shot himself in broad day.
light. He alone was responsible for the
deed and he paid the penalty. What
need was there to call six men together to
declare that "he came t. his deaf by
his own hand while temporarily insane"
The Board did we'll in refusing payment
of these bills. s%The inquiry naturally
arises whether the jury and others sum-
moned to the inquest have not acted in
good faith and are not entitled to their
fees. That is question on which there
is much doubt. Certainly it is not right
for the county to pay large bill of ex-
penses whenever a coroner chooses to in
nf1r 10 h hot
extremely nonsensical. One of the cor
oners is physician, but he seems to feel
compelled to call in doctor every time
to decide the cause of death. Why? 1t
is to be hoped this matter of coroners'
bills will be thoroughly probed, especially
the charge that one official retains a per-
centage on fees belonging to others. II
he does this he violates his official oath
in which he declares he will not accept nor
exact fee in any instance. The charge
made is serious. If it is we'll founded the
offender should be punished, if it is
groundless he should be exonerated.
