BOARD OF FREeHoLpERs.

Al the regular meeting of the Board
of Freeholders, last week, the action of
the Board at its meeting at Glen Gnrd-
ner, on June 81, regarding the Spruce
Run bridge, near Thomas Miller's, was
rescinded, and the Board voted to build
new iron bridge, 20 foot span and n
10 foot driveway, Mt that place. This
action was taken provided H. II. Exton,
who owns land adjoining the bridge,
agrees to be responsible for any loss he
may sustain by high water in the future.
A resolution was passed 10 expend
not to exceed $50, in changing the
current of the Rockaway creek at
Lanes Mills, i'll Tcwksbury township,
IN order to protect the walls of the
bridge.
The following new bridges were or
dered to be built by the Committee:
One in Holland township, one Mt Van
Syckle's Corner, III Union township :;
one at Anderson Bray's, in Delaware
township one in West Amwell town
ship and one at Mt. Joy, over the Mus
conetcCng.
The macadam road, in Tewksburv
township, came up, and although the
Committee reported fuvorably, after
the matter was carefully looked into it
was found inexpedient at this time to
commence the macadam road work,
and the petition was therefore tabled.
1t seems to be the idea of many that
the Board of Freeholders, next year,
should appropriate not less than TWEEN
ty-fve thousand dollars for thepurpose
Of permanently improving the roads by
macadamizing them. While we believe
that the improvement of our roads
would greatly benefit the county, yet
we believe that it should be carefully
considered as to ways and means and
that to make beginning by making
mile or two here aud another there is
not, in our humble opinion, the proper
method of improving our county in the
good road direction. Let our Free
holders estimate ON what they believe
will be within the means of the tax
payer to pay each year and then syste-
matically spend that amount each year
on sucl continuous main thoroughfares
| like from Lambertville to Pennington,
and then to Clinton, High Bridge, &c.
The question is no light one, and the
many sides seems to it makes it "A hard
one to solve, so that Tewksbury rs well
as West Amwell and Readington as
well as Holland may be repaid for the
money they have to pay in taxes for
building of the stone roads, and it is
perhaps better to leave its solution
with the Freeholders, whose duty it is
The Board adjourned to meet on the
10Th at Milford Hnntefd0a Demo-
| crdt.

day evening. All the members present
except Mr. Rittenhouse.
The following was presented
To the Mayor and Members of Com
mon Council, Lambertyille, n. j.;
Gentlemen In presenting this petit
ton to your honorable body we wish
to remind you that there has been no
general canvass made. Most of the
/ signatures were secured while ut the
I Post Office
I We desire by this petition to acquaint
T you of the general wish of our best
citizens that an all-day police be EN-
/ ployed To act Ill conjunction with the
night police and with any and all-night
watchmen-a bright, active man. one
who could keep peace and good order
during the day and also act asa de
tective-see that all strangers coming
in our midst are here ON legitimate
business, and keep diligent watch
that they are not planning traps in
broad daylight, ready to be sprung ON
the innocent sleeper during the dead
hours OF the nlSht.
At times our city Is overrun with
tramps and beggars. To the unfortu-
nate heggar show mercy, but how
many prove by their daily insults to
our people that they are worthless and
lmpudent scamps.
Again, we have legitimate peddlers
who are ekeing out an honest living,
which it is claimed the world owes
them. But among these could be found
business for n day police TO sift out the
fakirs that try, aud really do, do up
the unwary and who never pay II tax
or license
Thus it can be seen there is work for
avigllant day man, who could acquaint
the night men of any suspicious day
light manTuvreing ON the part of
strangers

er police protection during the dead
hours of the night, to act immediately
