FreehoI,,ers Ntcet.

At the regular monthly meeting OF the
Board of Freeholders held last Wednesday
bills to the amount OF $ll, 05l, 90 were
paid. The board rcconsided their vote
taken at Changcwater the Saturday before,
regarding the building OF a new iron. bridge
at that point, and decided to act with the
Warren county board in repairing the old
bridge.
The board ordered in accordance with
the new law, that the patients at the
Morris Plains Hospital should be removed
to the Trenton Hospital as soon as the
arrangements can be completed for their
receiving them.
The board met again AT Stfmples Mill,
in Delaware township, on Saturday last
for the purpose of determining what TO
do with the bad washout at that point.
The creek has given the county and town
ship much trouble at that point, as ii be-
comes very wild in times of high water.
The stream is now crossed by an old 40.
feet wooden bridge, and the question that
has bothered the Frecholdcrs is whether
TO build n new bridge with 90 feet span,
where it is now located, or to build new
| 40 feet span across the point where in
! times Of high water the washout occurs.
There seemed quite diversity OF opinion
on the question among the people OF
Delawate township, who ME acquainted
with the circumstances, and who have
seen the way this stream acts when high,
some taking the ground that il the old
bridge, which would soon have to be re-
newed anyway, were to be made 90-feet,
that that would allow the water to pass
through in times Of frcshct, and that the
wasbout was caused by the waterway
under the bridge being insufficient to allow
the water to pass. Others claimed that as
the stream made two quite sharp turns
there, that il the 40 feet bridge was built
over the wsshout, and the distractions
taken away, that the stream would soon
pass under the new bridge and the water
course thus be enlightened. While this
might possibly be true, il it were, 1t would
