ter county, and demand that the county
business shall be conducted by those
selected to perform it. We have elected
for that purpose, not few self constituted
dictators who have worked their way into
it, who, according to your report, assumed
a question carried by four votes, where
the law requires the votes of a majority
Of all the members of the Board. My
authority for this statement is Chapter
CCVII Of the laws of the legislature ap-
proved May 8, 1889. We should demand
that this question be reconsidered and
decided in legal manner, and the vote of
each member published. They are not, in
this case, independent voters, but our
servants, and we have a right to know
what they do. The half truth stated by
Mr. Miller that the salary of the Clerk
was $3.50 before the Democrats came into
power, is misleading it was not the
customary salary. The fact is salaries had
been doubled the year before and as far as
we ascertained, by three votes and an out
ragged public demand a return to the GUS
tomary salaries; some of our Town Meet
ings instfucting their Freeholders to that

dischargipg apparatus two hundred,
four hundred, five hundred, nineteen
hundred house connections, and GER
tain number of factory connections. The
whole thing is included in the estimate
of $37 ,644 so.
At that rate the cost of sewers would
be sixty-six cents per running foot, in
Guiding all appurtenances. The cost
would be thirty three cents per front
foot ON each side of the street. AS un-
doubtedly it would be found that the
city should pay for the street crossings
and that certain deductions should be
made to corner lots, it is quite safe to
put that at seventy cents per foot, so
that the cost to the property holder
would be thirty-fve cents per front foot.
understand that this payment may be
extended through ten years. If so,
every householder paying his sewer tax
would pay for fifty-foot lot $1.75 per
year for ten years, and then he would be
free, without anything. Now, do not
know ANYTHING about the arrangements
here, but | venture to say that they cost
more than that to say nothing of the
annoyance and the absence of sewer
convenienees.
Now, that is the whole length and
breadth of my talk to you on this sub
| ject. understood that ! was to answer
questions, and satisfy curiosity. / am
quite ready to answer questions as to
details, and to meet, if | can, any OBJ
| iections that may be raised.
In answer to question as to how far
the house connections would extend
from the street, Col Waring stated that
Y branch was intended to be put into
the sewers, with perhaps length of pipe
connected
The question was asked whether the
combined system uses two distinct lines
of pipes In reply Col. Waring said:
ut has practically never been done in
this country. There are few cases in
Europe where they have added the
separate system after they had the other;
and they are now about doing that in
Worcester, Mass, where they had the
combined system. They are putting in
the separate system, leaving the old
sewers to take the drainage. 1t would
add enormously to the cost to have the
combined system with two pipes. Here
you can get rid of your surface water by
cutters.
The main sewer would begin on Della
ware street, run to jackson, to Logan, to
Salem avenue, up Salem avenue to Car
penter street, through Carpenter street
to the railroad, along the railroad to
German street, where it crosses, up Rail-
road avenue to Cooper street, out Cooper
street nearly to Hester's Branch, follow
ing the course of the branch to the
creek, around to the city line, to within
six hundred feet Of the starting point.
Broad street this side of the cret would
have a double line in order to make
house connections short, and to make a
better fall. There is also to be double
line of pipes ON Broad street beyond
Red Bank avenue
Many questi ms were asked at the close
of the address, which we must omit from
our report this week.
An election to decide for or against put
ting in sewers will be held on June T.

A Model Village Government

An admirer of the village of Freehold
writes in the Metuchen Recorder =
THE village of Freehold in Monmouth
county has water system, sewer sys
tenn, paved roads, police protection, street
lighting all paid tor, and all done in a
Democratic village of one of the strongest
| Democratic counties Of the State, without
a party ticket. The best men of the
village meet and nominate ticket without
regard to party, and it has always been
elected. Freehold has village charter,
under the ger eral laws, with ample powers
to order improvements and pay for them
Why not initiate the example of Freehold
Why not, to be sure Not all communi-
ties are as liberal as Democratic Freehold
The people are willing, but they are
choked into submission by the party
bosses. The old party organization must
be maintained, even at the expense of
property holders. a community like
Woodbury. must have majority OF Re-
publicans in Council, in order TO have a
Republican Wa er Superintendent and as
sistant and two policeman, even though
they be only passiyely interested in the
material welfare of the city. We must
have Republican Assessor and Collector
and Marshal, because political machine
says so.
We must not aspire to be model COM
munity, with reasonable taxation and
needed Improvements, because that would
be at the expense of our Crawford county
political machine
That is why there will be few imitators
of Freehold.
A movement of that character was started
here las1 Spring, but it lacked organization
in ali the wards and hearty non-partisan
co operation, but in the Third Ward a
Councilman was gained; gentleman OF
brains and courage was chosen, and good
results are already in evidence. Wood
bury should he a model community, the
elements are here to make it such, but th e
machine must be relegated to its proper
place if we become such.
