On account of the death of John
F. McGolrick, OF WATERFOWL, superin-
tendent of the poor for the first dis
trict, it has become necessary to call |
a special meeting of the board
of supervisors, as the laws
make NO provision for the filing of
vacancy Of this nature. Thus the
board must convene at an expense to
the taxpayers OF not less than 5000 to
elect an officer whose salary is only
$175 per annum. At the next session
of the legislature law should be
passed giving the chairman of the
board power to fill vacancies that
may occur. Under present con-
ditions the county board might be
obliged to hold three or four extra
sessions during the year. The board
will meet Tuesday, January s, at 2:3O
P. NJ, and will probably adjourn on
the same day, as the business can be
transacted in few minutes.-Jetfer-I
