COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
THE OLD AND THE NEW.


All the members were in attendance at
the last meeting OF the City Council of
1896 81 on Tuesday e7ening.
The minutes of the last meeting were
read and approved.
Mr.. Laid, of the Finance Committee,
reported that since the last meeting the
Committee had received the tax receipt of
the Sleeper property on Cooper street, show
ing payment of $34, on '94 tax. Treasurer
Reading had acknowledged the receipt and
given the city credit TOR the amount
thereof. As to the Jessup tax of 1924, the
Committee found that the Solicitor had
paid to the Treasurer, in 1896, 5000 more
than he had been given credit for, leaving
a balance of $24 due from him to the city.
Mr.. Best stated that the Solicitor had since
paid the last named amount to the Treas
urer.
Treasurer Reading submitted report Of
the Ogden Fund, showing balance of
S. "a. The balance in the City Treasury,
March Sd was, he states, $787 SO.
Mr.. Ladd reported the employment of
Frank P. Dell to examine the city books,
and a motion that the Clerk plaza all
financial books in his hands, and give him
the combination of the safe, was adopted.
Mr.. Ladd stated that 10 going over the
Treasurer's accounts matter that had
caused the Finance Committee of 1890
much labor and anxiety, had been un-
ravelled. There was a dispute as to pay
ments to F. c. White, Water Superintend-
ent, the Committee contending that he had
received Is months salary in that year,
while Mr.. White contended that he had re-
ceived only his years pay. The vouchers,
showing the correctness of the Committees
position, that were before not procurable,
were found.
He also reported, that after diligent en-
quiry, the Committee had been unable to
trace the duplicates of 1928. The re-
ceipt which Solicitor Moore claimed to
have from the Finance Committee for the
1913 duplicate, was for the duplicate of 1894.
Mr.. Best said the Treasurer was positive
somebody took the duplicate from his Office,
but he could not tell who.
TIE following bills were paid during the

The townships that were Democratic
built Democratic, ard supposed to be DEM
ocratic-were Democratic at the late cleo
ton, and Elk was one of them. We well

Thos. J. Louden has sold his Mickleton
farm of n acres to a Philadelphia for ST.
000 This is one of the finest locations in
the county. Mr.. Louden will purchase a
home in Paulsboro and will again live there
after residence of eight months in Salem.
Mr.. and Mrs James Benezet, of Mullica
Hill, and Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen Miller, of
Paulsboro, celebrated the fftieth ami
versary of their wedding at their respective
homes on Saturday evening last Both
men have been acting In business life in the
county, and Mr.. Benezet yet is active in
mercantile life and as President of the
Woodstown bank.
Sacedesbor0 Nesos:-s- Black g mill property
was sold on Thursday to the estate of
ThOs. B. Hewes for one dollar above the
mortgages, which amounted to So OBS; and
the farm was knocked off to Samuel M.
Parker on bid of twenty five cents over
the mortgages. This is undoubtedly the
smallest bid for which Gloucester County
farm was eyer sold" And this was since
the inauguration of the Advance agent
of Prosperity" Comment is unnecessary
The West Deptford Town Meeting organ
lied with Chas. Is. Smith moderator, and
u. G. Eastlack clerk, made the following
appropriations: Roads 81 900, $500 by taxa
ton, $500 from funds on hand gravel $3.50
from funds, sidewalk 500 from funds half
pay on roads $3.50 from funds, poor $3.50
from funds, incidentals $500 by taxation

unanimously adopted.
The Town Meetings in both Mantua and
Washington townships, according to reports
received, refused to accept the reports Of
their Chosen Freeholders until they were
itemized. These, we believe, are the first
instances on record where reports of town
ship officers have been sent back for itemi-
cation, and specific report, and shows that
the people are more than ever alive to the
public acts of those they select to perform
public duties. open the BOOKS 5" is good
slogan to carry into every public meeting,
and let every public official understand is
to be enforced.
Stone road investigations in Mercer Co.
continue to show fraud on the tax payers.
On Tuesday last it was shown that where
the contract price was only twenty-five
cents per foot 80 cents was paid, and the
engineer admitted, under oath, he knew the
bill was wrong, but allowed it because he
thought it was the wish of the road COM
mittee. Between $4,000 and $4,000 was
overpaid in this way. The comment of the
Ledger, some weeks ago, that Jersey stone
roads were paved with gold dollars" is
proving too true. Too many of them.

Citizens complain that bicycles have
become not only nuisance, but actually
menace to side walk travellers. As bicycles
claim all the rights of the road that are ac-
corded to vehicles. they should not be al

and that in defiance of local laws, and
of pedestrians rights.
