Freeholder Kinney, of Randolph,
and Freeholder Munson, of Dover,
broke the monotony characterizing
the last few meetings of the Board,
on Wednesday. 1t all happened when
the latter presented number of bills
for work on bridge between their
representative townships The in
censed representative from Randolph
Jumped to his feet and declared that
Mr.. Munson had monopolized all the
funds without his knowledge, and he
wished 1t understood that he alone
was the representative from Randolph,
and not Mr.. Munson or any other
member of the Board.
Mr.. Kinney then went back to last
Spring, when ex-Freeholder Orr occu
pied his chair, stating that that indi-
vidual had condemned many bridges in
the township for the sole purpose of
swamping his appropriation.
During all this time Freeholder
Munson sat with huge cigar in his
mouth, endeavoring to hide himself
by blowing dense clouds of smoke,
and when that plan failed, he unsuc-
cessfully attempted to crawl under his
desk. After more bitter remarks and
advice from Director Becker not to go
into personalities, ballot was taken
upon the bills, all the members voting
In the affirmative, excepting Mr.. Kin
ney, who sang out his mo- with the
ferceness of a breaking thunderstorm.
A communication from the United
States Weather and Agricultural Bu-
reau, requesting the privilege of pla-
cling water guages upon the Rockaway
River bridge at Old Boonton, Pompton

purpose of ascertaining the flow of
water was referred to the Counsel and
County Engineer The Finance and
Audit Committee reported bills Court

tai, $5,35768. Bills for the county
Jail the past month amounted to
$644S5. During the month twenty
four prisoners have been discharged
and there remain in the institution

dren's Home aggregated SLIGO so.
One hundred and four inmates are now
being cared for in the former institu-
tion, while &c comprises the number
at the Children's Home. The Insur-
ance and Miscellaneous Committee re-
ported bills to the amount of 81 1882 a.
Freeholder Dalrymple requested that
$1,9e686 be raised for State aid roads
by a deficiency vote, which met with
the approval of the Board.
Bills for printing and elections were
paid to the amount of $266.15. Free
holder Schoneberger, of the Printing
and Election Committee, stated that
the delay in paying the election bills
was caused by the absence of the
County Collector, and that all out
standing accounts for this purpose
would be paid in a very few days.
Two transfers were ordered, one of
$3S5.92 from Incidentals to Interest
and Discount, and another Of $500
