The New-Jersey State Board OF Children's Guard
ians is preparing to take complete charge OF the
225 pauper children who are in the Hudson County

the ground that the Board OF Guardian law
special legislation. in that II exempted certain
children who had been placed in a private nsti-
tuition n Morris County. The FreehOlders threat
ened TO carry the matter TO the courts,
Rather than entail that expense Jhe Board Of
Guardians entered into arrangement with the
Freeholders by which the Board Of Guardians
70 investigate the homes which the Free
holders might select for children. and maintain i
partial supervision over them until the law should
be amended
The last Legislature amended the Board of Guard
ian act by removing the clause which the Free
holders objected. and President Hugh F. Fox OF
the Board OF Guardians has made demand upon
the Board Of Freeholders for complete control
of the pauper children OF Hudson County. The
Board OF Freeholders will consider hts demand at
its meeting May 81 II is not expected thar
the FreeholdeTs will offer further opposition.

pealed TO Governor Roosevelt not TO approve the

fed comparatively in the Federal service and else

searching examination satisfactorily disclose
II is urged, moreover that the success OF failure
of the taxing system the Act OF 1900 seeks 70 es-
tablish will depend upon the exclusion of all po-
htlca considerations in the selection of these ap-
praisers. and this. need add. would be guar
