The motion to adopt the majority repor
was then taken up
Mr.. Conrow objected to it's adoption
because the two companies were not prop
erly before the Board. The New York
and Philadelphia Company had not put
in its maps and application for a line on
the Bridgeboro rood.
Mr.. Packer said that would apply equal
ly to the Monmouth Traction Company,
which had also failed to get in some maps.
Mr.. Conrow was about to speak again
when the Director called him to order
with the remark ''you have already
spoken three times, in violation of your
own motion"

Mr.. Darnell offered resolution that
both trolley companies be given until
Tuesday, May "a, to file bids in accord
ance with the ordinance.
Mr.. Conrow objected. He thought the
ordinances should be read
Clarence 7. Atkinson said he desired to
speak as a citizen. 1t seemed to him that
something is about to be done that will
complicate matters How can this Board,
which is about to go out of existence,
take action in which it cannot participate?
Senator Packer remarked that that
statement did not need any reply.
The motion to read the ordinances was
adopted
When the first had been concluded, Mr..
Darnell then offered resolution limiting
the time for the franchise to 80 years.
Mr.. Fairbrother did not think this was
a good resolution. 1t would kill the road
He offered an amendment to make the
limit $50 years.
The amendment was defeated.
Mr.. Conrow then offered an amendment
that ''at the expiration of so years, the
county shall extend the franchise or pur-
chase the rolling stock, and other personal
property at a fair compensation. p
This also was defeated and the original
motion was adopted but was afterwards
reconsidered. Amendments were offered
in profusion making various time limits,
but they were voted down, as it was as
serted that no company would build a
road with a time limit on it.
Mr. Conrow then offered an amendment
providing that two years shall be the
limit for beginning the work of building
unless the time is extended by the Board.
The amendment took all power of inter
ference from the courts.
This amendment was adopted after con-
siderable debate.
After one or two other changes of
slight import, the meeting adjourned I'M

Grand Master Of New Jersey

The New York Tribune, on Sunday,
contained very good portrait of Josiah
W. Evan, together with the following
complimentary notice: "Josiah W. Evan,
Grand Master of Masons in the State of
New Jersey, was born fortyfour years
ago, at Mount Holly, where he still re-
sides. He was made Mason in Mount
Holly Lodge, No IA, at the early age of
twenty two The teachings of Masonry
made deep impression upon the mind of
the young man, and he evinced an interest
in his lodge at once His brethren were
quick to recognize his worth, for the fol-
lowing year Q87D they elected him Junior
Warden; in 1878 Senior Warden, and Mas
ter in 1879 and $780, during which period
he endeared himself to all who knew him.
M. W. Joseph W. Congdon, who was
Grand Master in 1886, discovered in Bro
Evan. material which gave promise of
future usefulness in the craft, and select
ed him as Deputy of the Second Masonic
District
In this position he displayed skill and
judgment, and was reappointed every
year by each succeeding Grand Master up
to January, 1898, when he was chosen by
reclamation to serve as the R. W. Senior
Grand Warden, to which position he was
reelected unanimously in 1894 and 1895
In 1S96-97 he was chosen Deputy Grand
Master, and in January, 1898, he was
chosen Grand Master. In this connec-
ton touching incident might be men
toned which illustrates the sentiment
that prevails among the craft. W. Bro.
Charles Evan, P. NJ, of Mount Holly
Lodge, was designated by the Grand
Lodge to deposit the ballot bearing the
name of his son for Grand Master
The eight hundred brethren with one
accord stood up to witness the unusual
sight of the honored veteran, the worthy
sire, casting the vote that would elect his
son chief of the craft in the State of New
Jersey.
Bro Evans life has been active and
useful; to him have been assigned i'm
portant duties, which he has always per-
formed faithfully and well, He has taken
a prominent part in securing for the
brethren the splendid home in Burlington
which is to be dedicated by him next une
and to which event the brethren not only
of New Jersey, but also of Pennsylvania
and New York, look forward with pecu
liar interest and unbounded admiration

The Old hoard Maata.

The old Board of Freeholders met a
the Court House on Wednesday. 1t wa
a rather tame affair compared with the re
cent gatherings in the interest of the troll
| ley roads, and there was no trouble il
getting seat.
Director Mitchell was absent owing tc
the death of his mother, and ex-directol
Younker was called on to preside. Be,
yond the reading of bills there was not
much business transacted.
An order was drawn in favor of the As
siscunk Meadow Company for 800, for
the use of the bridge over the meadows at
East Burlington.
An extra allowance of $75 was voted to
Clerk Antrim for being overworked dur
ing the year.
1t was stated that the deposit of $500
left by the trolley companies was insult
ficient to cover the expenses for which
they were intended A resolution was
adopted directing the corporations to de-
post an additional $500 each before 10
O'Clock on Monday morning.
An application for a stone road between
Mount Holly and Burlington was APP
proved and ordered filed
On application of Mr.. Younker, Lum-
berton township was given permission to
use the county roller in the construction
of the stone road that the township is
about to build.
Mr.. Goldy presented communication
from Washington Council, Junior Order
of American Mechanics, calling attention
to resolution adopted by the Board
about year ago, requiring a clause to be
inserted in all stone road contracts prohib-
iting the employment of foreign labor on
county work. Mr.. Colby said that this
communication was the result of report
that Italians are being employed on the
road from Browns Mills to Pemberton.
Solicitor Chambers said that perhaps the
contractor was not to blame in this in
stance. If the Board intended to strictly
adhere to the resolution it should so ad-
vertise when it invites contractors to bid
for the work. In the present instance the
contractor has in his possession certificates
of citizenship for each man in his employ.
The bill of Sheriff Fleetwood, for board
of prisoners, was found to be slightly in
advance of the appropriation for that ac-
count, and Mr. Jones offered resolution
that the sum be made up from any unex-
pended balance, and it was so ordered.
An order for SIS was drawn in favor of
Director Mitchell for his last quarters
salary, and the Board adjourned
The following bills were ordered paid
