Ar THE last meeting of the board of
freeholders, Mr. Maxwell, member from
Washington township, invited the board
to visit his township and make thorough
inspection of the roads and bridges there.
lie said there had been considerable criti-
cism on the expenditure of money in
Washington with expressions of surprise
that there was need.for any more work to
be done there. Mr.. Maxwell felt that a
more Intelligent idea could be gained by q
personal visit. His position is a good one
There is no doubt of the fact that money
has been expended in Washington The
report of the county auditor shows that
last year the expenses in Washington
township were $7,052.65. This township
turned 1880 into the county treasury
in the way of taxes. 1t is no wonder
there is an idea that little work remains
for the new freeholder to do. Yet he saws
there are still many things needing at
tention, and his reputation is such that
none will dispute his assertion. Mr.. Max
well shows business like disposition in
starting his work and evidently wants to
start right. While there is no need of the
entire board visiting the township of
Washington it would not be bad idea to
send committee down not only to inquire
into what is to be done but to look around
and see what has been done for the s., 900
already expended. Recalling several lit.

more money than was appropriated it does
seem as If the time has arrived when care
