some means provided to get it. If tn
board was willing TO supply the funds 70
experimenting the best thing to do is t
sink artesian wells.
Mr.. Ebert thought something decisiv
should be done at once The county is o.
the eve of bringing to the new asylum
large number of patients, and this defec
lin the water system is serious. Tn
county would not be justified in transfer
ring its wards to the new building witt
the possibility of water famine.
Mr.. Birkhead was opposed to building
new station and abandoning the presen
plant until it has been determined tina
water cannot be secured under the presen
conditions There are wells on the place
now, and he favored digging an additiona
number sufficient to get good water.
| The matter was referred to the commit
tee on asylum.
| Mr.. Durand offered resolution appro
priating So, 600 to the Burlington County
| Hospital. Mr. Jones said the finance
committee had provided $1,000 in their
budget and that amount was voted.
The committee on printing was directed
to have 500 copies of the rules printed.
On motion of Mr.. EVAN the sum OF
$500 was added to the appropriation for
the committee on court house and grounds
to be used in building shelves in the clerk s
office.
The reports of the Auditor and Collect
or were read. An item in the latter shows
that the Monmouth Traction Company is
still indebted to the county for all the
money it obligated itself to pay fol
privileges granted.
The amount of money appropriated fol-
current expenses is $3.50, 900.
The following resolution was offered g
WHEREAS, The County appropriation for Jus
tees and Officers, tor the fiscal year just
ending, has been largely overdrawn, and
upon Investigation, the cause for such over
draft has been found to be due to the prac
tice in q few Townships OF this county, Oh
having persons, commonly known Us
"Tramps," committed to the County Jail as
drunken and disorderly persons;
AND WHEREAS, this practice is viclOusly anu
persistently carried on by few ofncers from
certain Townships in the County. at the ex-
Of the ba W W
care of their own drunken ana disoroeriy
persons;
of this County be, ana he is hereby instructed,
not to audit bills for persons committed TO the
County Jail, as drunken and dlsoroerly per-
sons, who are simply "Tramps"
Mr.. Horner thought the law already
covers this point, and Mr.. Darnell re-
marked that it twas bad law well en-
forced" The resolution was adopted.
Petitions were presented for several
stone and gravel roads, and this caused
Mr.. Birkhead to call attention to the fact
that it would be impossible for any new
roads to be built this year, as the appro.
priations are but $40, 900 with $4S, 900 OF
new roads contracted for. The appllca-
lions were all received and filed.
