tGloueester County has an extravagant
Board of Freeholders and one of the princi-
pal reasons for this is that the Board is
dominated by members who are, in direct
and fragrant violation Of an express law,
making the principal part of their living
out Of their official position. How long
people of Gloucester County will be willing
to put up with this condition of affairs we
don't know but we believe that the Grand
Jury that meets the latter part of this
month would not need very strong glasses
TO find evidence enough to convict some
officials Of malfeasance in office. =
The above paragraph appeared in an edi-
torial in last weeks Paulsboro Press and we
quote it not because we are prepared to
lend assent to all the allegations, but in
order to keep our readers abreast contro-
vesy that will inevitably end in the Courts.
Never before in our knowledge Of the
county has so serious charge been made
against the governing body as is contained
in that paragraph Direct and fragrant
violation of an express law" evidence
enough to convict some officials of NAL
feasance in ofice''-are strong words and
the Board of Chosen Freeholders must
meet the allegation, and force retraction.
While it is true that in the past ten years
a bonded debt of more than $780, 900 has
been created, and the county budget
doubled, yet that fact does not prove a
condition to warrant the publication of a
charge so serious as that made in all sober
ness by Editor Leonard.
The people will get an idea of the basis
of the charge when appropriations of the
last Board are compared with the Board of
1893-ten wears ago. which follows
