Senator Voorhees,, Big Opportunity
> Last week, three of the four daily news
papers published in this county united in
inviting Senate Foster NJ. voorhees, and
the Investigating Committee, of which he
is Chairman, to come to Jersey City and
make inquiry into the financial and other
doings Of the Board of F~reeholders. The
fourth paper, the Evening Journal" of
this city. admitted h there was a
regime Of corruption n abuse in the
F~reeholders Office on the Hill, but de-
precated a Legislative inquiry on the
amusing ground that the present scandals
were 4 good lesson to the people.
Senator voorhees, has, so far, made no
sign; but It a hardly be that he will re-
sist this practically unanimous declara-
ton on the part of the press. h New
York Tribune and others papers have
backed up the demand, and it is under
stood that the good government clubs
and the Jersey City Board of Trade will
take it up at their next meetings.
The most serious feature of the situa-
ton is the practical stoppage of all pay
ments except salaries by the Board. This
leads to the conclusion that all the avail
able funds in the appropriations have
been d~issipated. When the deal went
through by which E. w. Woolley was
made Clerk. a number of new offices
we're created, including several -sinecures,
in order to satisfy the ofice-grabbers on
both sides 1t is not unlikely that this
fact goes far to account for the shortage
Of money to pay legitimate claims, which
undoubtedly exists.
The rumors regarding the Board are
endless. The stories told of the, contracts
made and the prices paid-or at least in
curred-for supplies are startling.
