On recommendation Of the Prosecutor,
Sheriff Jones was authorized to offer re-
ward of $500 for the return of Grant Kel-
lar who escaped from Jail recently.
Messrs. Nlchol, Bender and Tonkin, the
Committee on bridge at Mullica Hill, recon-
mended a new iron bridge, twenty-five feet
span, and same was ordered.
AS Boody's mill is deserted, and the
pond become menace to property owners,
a committee consisting Of Messrs. Bender,
Tonkin and Hoffman was appointe to de-
wise ways and means of abating the danger.
Mr. Usinger reported the bridge over
Raccoon creek at Bridgeport in bad shape,
and Messrs. Usinger, Wilson, Bendler, Silver
and the Director were appointed COM
mittee to examine same and report.
A petition by Thorofare Grange, No. SO,
asking the Board to re-surfaoe Crown Point
road from Bonner's Corner to Paulsboro,
was received and fled
Director Miller presented the following
communication from State Road Super
visor Budd, on an interesting topic ::
We succeeded in passing a very liberal
and comprehensive road law, carrying state
aid to the amount Of four hundred thousand
dollars, but the Appropriation Committee
would not allow us the extra appropriation,
so we are confined to the original two hum
dred and fifty thousand dollars, nearly one
half of which must be reserved to pay for
work nearly but not quite completed last
year.
This leaves us with very small appro-
priation for this years work, and road
building will be very light in New Jersey
for this year. AS the appropriation is
already mortgaged by the roads approved,
we cannot approve of any more roads in
Gloucester county for this year.

AT the meeting OF the Board Of Chosen
Freeholders in May, 1891, Mr.. Carpenter,
member Of the Board from the Third Ward,
this city, made statement to the Board
that Gloucester county was maintaining
insane persons in its Asylum, and had not
received the compensation therefore from
the State provided by law. He then
moved that a committee consisting Of three
members and the Solicitor be appointed to
investigate the claim and seek to recover.
Mr.. Elkinton moved that Director Usinger
be one of the committee. The committee
as appointed consisted of Messrs. Carpen-
ter, Elkinton, Usinger and Solicitor Swack-
hamer.
At the July meeting the committee re-
ported claim of 81, 144. Afterward an
error of 81 was discovered in the addition,
reducing the claim to $7,140. At every
meeting Of the Board during 1922,
this committee reported the stages Of pro
gress, the difficulties, ETC. The Comp
troller in October, made the first payment,
under directions of the Attorney General,
allowing payment from Jan. |, 1891, or for
the six months previous to the filing of
the claim. Since that date these pay
ments have aggregated about 81, 500 per
year.
The claim for $7.140 from 1873 to 1890,
the Comptroller refused to pay, and on
advice of Solicitor Swaekhamer, the Board
directed that officer to bring suit. Since
the claim has run the gauntlet of the courts
and the legislature, until the last session,
when the claim as originally prepared by
Messrs. Carpenter, EIkinton, Usinger and
Solicitor Swackhamer, has place in the
appropriation bill. and County
Collector Pierson will probably receive
Morgan's warrant for the same
in few days.
1t is due Hon. D. o. Watkins and Hon.
J. Boyd Avis to say that at several stages
Of the fight to recover this claim, Mr..
Swackhamer has received invaluable aid
from them. However, the fact remains
that the legacy of an annual income of
81, 500 since July 1, 1891, and the earnings
rom 1878 to Jan. l, 1890, 7,140, repre-
sents some of the results of Democratic
Board of Chosen Freeholders from 1900 to
1903.

The Committee finds the following SG9ne
roads in various conditions: Bridgeport and
Swedesboro 7.75 miles in good condition.
Asbury road needing some slight repairs
with stone screenings. Crown Point road
from Bonner's Corner to Westville in need
of some stone and stone screenings, the
road is slightly rutted. Westyille and
Glassboro road on the westerly end needs
some repairs, stone and stone screenings;
the easterly end Of said road is in fair con-
dition and only needs slight repairs Wood
bury and Knights Run needs but little re-
pairs and then will be in good condition.
GRAVEL ROADS.
Not accepting any in the county are in a
better condition than the Committee ever
found them before since it has been their
privilege to view the same. We feel it is
our duty to commend Mr.. Lewis Stanger,
the Supervisor Of County Roads, for their
present condition. By keeping up the
crown of the roads, and by so doing at the
same time the drainage is provided for in
the same way and leaves them in good
condition. The Stone Road Committee has
resolved that while they are in charge of
said stone roads, they will cause them to be
kept up near as possible with stone and
and stone screenings, and not with dirt, and
only to use the best gravel that can be Sc
cured in case Of emergency.
There are two other roads that are built
and not yet accepted, Delaware street stone
road, 1877 miles; Glassboro and Harding
vile gravel road, 5. Is miles, which is under
the care of Mr.. Fisher, the contractor.

it is a good road, and credit to the
builder. and that part of the county.

that once In a while a nail splits or
turns while being driven into the hoof,
causing It to enter the tender upper
portion and temporarily Gripping the
animal. Then, too, the shoes are apt
to get loose on the feet, and may
strain the tendons of the leg before
the driver discovers that anything Is
wrong. II the inventor of the nailless
horseshoe shown in the drawing has
succeeded in designing shoe which
will take the place of that which has
been in use Cor so many years he win
be assured of finding plenty Of driv-
ers ready to give 1t fair trial. The
wearing surface Of this shoe differs
from the ordinary kind only In being
minus the nail holes, but at the front
and ends of the new shoe will be seen
metallic straps rising to Q common
point near the top of the hoof. These
straps are hinged to the shoe, and are
connected at the ends by a threaded
bolt, which can be turned with q small
wrench to clamp the straps over the
hoof. 1t Is necessary that the bottom
Of the hoof be pared down evenly be-
fore the shoe is put in place in order
that smooth fit may be insured. but
aside from this there is little work re.

horse may yet have its shoes put on

the combination which we show may
provide a welcome substitute. It has
been designed especially to answer
the purpose Of the high chair, rocker
and wheel chair, and yet 1t occupies
no more space In room than any one
of these pieces Of furniture would.
Only little study will be required to
master the details of construction, and
learn how to convert this piece of fur
niture from rocker to a rollor or ele-
vate the seat to the position required
to enable the child to sit at the Ia
BILE. The chair Is fitted with four
short legs, rigidly attached to the
seat. and to the end of each leg is
pivoted rocker, those secured to the
front legs being considerably longer
than those which project toward the
front. When the chair is to be used
ut the table the rockers are extended,
as shown in the upper picture, with
pin driven through holes where the
rockers cross each other. When used
as a rocker the curved pieces are low
cred into the position shown In tho
second drawing, where the pin again
serves to hold them rigid. To make 0
roll chair the four wheels are turned
beneath the rockers by revolving the
short arms which carry them.

The horse fancier may advance the
argument that an automobile has to
be fed at frequent intervals as well as
the horse, but the auto "fend" will
reply that his machine does not waste
its feed, as the majority of horses are
sure to do. II the horseman should
chance to have one OF the devices
which We here illustrate, with which
to feed his horse, he can easily prove
