The last regular meeting, for the fl ca
| year, of the County Board of Freeholderl
was held at Hammonton, yesterday
| TUESDAY at the Hotel Royal, the splen
did new house recently opened by JohI
| T. French. All the members of tht
Board were present with the exception

After the reading of the minutes of the
previous meeting, Solicitor Thompson
stated the suit of the County against the
cranberry bog owners of Buena Vista
concerning the liability for damages done
by freshets would be brought up at the
| September term Of Court.
Mr.. Shinn repofted favorable progress
upon the work ofindexing the records oi
| the County.
Mr.. Jeffries reported that work had
been commenced on the .Terrapin''
Road, and that it had been delayed in
1000 teet had been substantially COM
pleted. The Road Committee were
authorized to purchase such additional
gravel as may be required at five cents
per load.
Mr.. Irving reported the purchase OF
three lots for gravel 10 Egg Harbor City,
40x150 feet each, at $150 for the three,
and the Solicitor was authorized to
execute the necessary legal papers to
acquire the title.
Reports were then in order and the
Committee on the Insane Asylum and
the County Almshouse was read in
detail, as were the reports of the Bridge
Committee, the Public Buildings Com
mittee, the Finance Committee and also
the report of A. B. Endicott, Collector of
the County. These reports are quite
lengthy, snd will be published in the
Annual Report of the Board of Free
holders, and we shall print them in these
columns with such comments as may be
pertinent to the facts therein stated.
The question of printing the annual
reports came up for discussion, and Mr..
Shinn moved that they be printed in
pamphlet fOrm-as some newspaper
editors were growing because they
did not get enough for the Job, and
others were mad because they were left
out. If printed in pamphlet form it
would be much cheaper
Mr.. Schuhardt favored the newspapers
and believed the reports would be more
generally read. Mr.. Shinn asked for q
ballot and it was voted, by the Board
Ito 4, to print the reports in pamph-
let form and ask for bids for the same
Some bills presented by formerly Free
holder Krause, of Egg Harbor City, for
constructing abridge opened up a lively
discussion. Mr.. Shinn said the bills were
illegally contracted, and Solicitor
Thompson sustained his contention that
the County was not liable for the bills.
Payment was unanimously refused by
the Board.
On motion of Mr.. Irving voucher for
$270, was presented for part of the
work done in indexing the County
records at Mays Landing, and war
rant ordered to be drawn for it's pay
ment.
The Board then adjourned sine die.
Immediately after the final adjoprn-
merft the members of the Board of Free
holders together with several news
paper representatives and other invited
guests repaired to the large dining room
of the hotel and partook of fine dinner
