ed the necessity of having another county
road to run east and west and Free
holder Hanna followed suit by proposing
a road for itself to run through Harrison,
Kearny and East Newark.
Freebooter Green presided at the meet
ing. Ex-Director Clayton sat alongside
of him, but made no attempt to exercise
the functions of director. He was there
merely for the purpose of showing that
he has not abandoned the fight for the
dictatorship. He proposes to occupy that
same seat at every meeting of the Board
until the courts decide the controversy
at issue. All the members were present,
even Freeholder Kelly, who avoided all
the, ~scrapping by staying at his hotel in
Weehawken. The regular order of bust
ness was the purpose of receiving bids
for supplies. These bids were received

Wilson rose to a question of information.
lie wanted to know what becomes of
claims and resolutions after they have
been referred to the committee.
Il have attended several sessions of the
committee" he said, "and none of these
matters have been brought up for consid-
GRAFTON. I'd like to know what becomes
of them"
What resolutions and other matters are
there" asked Freebooter Riordan, that
tee?,
Several Of them" answered Mr.. Wilson.
THAT is indefinite" said Mr.. Riordan.
When you make a statement such as you
have made you should be prepared to ex-
plain IT."
IF / had the minutes I could tell you.
said Mr.. Wilson.
You ought to come prepared to explain
any charge you make" remarked Mr..
Riordan; you're only making a play to
the galleries now"
Mr. Wilson subsided and the bids were
referred.
Chief Engineer Edlow w. Harrison sent
a communication describing the condition
of the Pacific avenue bridge which Free
holder Zumbusch ordered closed yesterday.
He said that the bridge is not capable Of
each axle of a wagon passing owe. it. The
flooring is in a wretched condition and the
trusses are weak. To put it in good re-
pair would cost about $500. Later In the
meeting a resolution was adopted directing
County Superintendent Smith to have the
bridge put in a safe condition at once.
William Kay, druggist at the lunatic asy-
Hill, and Miss Annie Coffin, attendant at
the lunatic asylum, resigned and H. G.
kleeyer, John Sunde and Miss Amelia
Coleman were appointed to fill the respec>
tive vacancies.
The best thing the Board did was to

"A resolution by Freebooter Rjordan was
adopted requesting Governor Griggs to
