When the borough of Swedesboro was or
ganized twenty-five months ago, it had less
than $1,000 in its treasury; now in closing
up its business for the year, it has So, 1O8
in its treasury, and the tax rate has not
been increased. This is most satisfactory
showing, and demonstrates the fact that a
borough government, wisely and economi-
cally administered, is not the expensive
luxury that some have imagined. Mayer
Mccullough and Council are entitled to
great credit for their excellent management
of affairs.
March came in mild, if not pleasant, and
