THERE is one subject to which the Board
of Freeholders may give careful consider
alton and reach some conclusion that will
be of great benefit to the taxpayers of
Burlington county. 1t is the maintenance
of the almshouse. As now conducted and
as it has been for some time past it is an
expense and a regular sinking fund In
order that an intelligent idea may be
gained of the cost of keeping the county's
poor we give the figures OF maintaining
the almshouse since the year 1894 The
table which follows shows the amount re-
ceived from the county, after deducting the
sale at the farm, the sum received from the
state for the insane patients when kept at
that institution, the total expenditures
and the average number of inmates in
each year:

The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1905-04-25

The fiscal year for 1904-5 has not yet
closed, hence the figures cannot be given,
but there was an appropriation made last
May of $4,000 and there is less than $3.50
available, with the bills from last Febru-
airy to come in. The Board of Freehold
ers may well give this subject serious at
tention and devise ways and means where
heavy item of expense. The amounts
above given, up to and including 1900
cover all expenses-repairs and mainte-
nance. From that year the item of re-
pairs has been kept separate, with appro-
priations exclusively for that purpose
and the figures show the cost of the run
ming expenses of the institution A
glance at the column will show the state
of affairs. In 1895 it took 81, 105 II to
keep 277 inmates; in 1901 it took 81, 704-
"a to keep 1874 inmates, and three years
later, 1904, it required $40, 17O.45 for 1874
inmates. Yet, who really knows how
many inmates there are at the almshouse?
The committee regularly reports about
the same number. How does it get the
data3 Does it count the people, or does
it look at the register We venture the
assertion that there is not an average of
40 persons at the institution.
1t is no hard task to take the above fig
ures and work out the average cost of
daily expenses. Take the first year-1S95
and you will find that the inmates were
kept at the average cost of II cents per
day. Take the last year-19O4- it
will be seen that with reduction of 1853
in the family it required 80 cents per day
or three times more than when the institu-
tiou had more inmates.
We have no desire to open up any I'M
pleasant situations but for the purpose of
comparison we feel justified in referring
to the asylum. Looking over the reports
rendered to the Board it will be seen that
with an average of $50 patients 1t has cost
the county 36 ce nts per day to maintain
the latter institution. Bear in mind that
these figures show, as at the almshouse.
the cost of maintenance without repairs.
and also take into consideration the con-
ditions of the two institutions. The
asylum is large building. heated with
steam, with force of 25 on the pay roll,
and the 3S cents per day pays for all ex-
penses. The asylum farms about 40 acres,
the almshouse has about 400 acres of i'm
proved land.
Another thing to which attention NAV
be directed is the matter of Inventory of
the county's property. Some years ago
Mr.. Darnell offered resolution that there
be a yearly inventory of all the property
at the almshouse. The resolution was
complied with once and that was the last
of it. We doubt if single member of
the Board of Freeholders knows to-day
what is on the New Lisbon properties.
This list should be made yearly and
should include all data that may be of
information to the public and should ap.
ply to both the almshouse and asylum.

enjoy their odd plight. 1t is full of
sparkling melodies in Mr.. Sponsors best
vein and the comedy situations are intense
ly funny Indeed it seems as if everyone
already wants to see miss Bob White" if
one may judge from the demand for seats.
VIM. A. Brady will offer the amusement
seekers ON NAV 4, at Auditorium theatre,
Burlington, "Girls Will Be Girls" The
piece was written by r. Melville Baker
and Joseph Hart, and tells the story of a
professor of languages at a seminary
who escapes from a raided cock-fght,
leaving his coat tail in the hands of the
police. The attempts of these officers to
restore the coat-tail to its owner in order,
so to speak, to make a suit against him,
furnish numerous complications and un-
expected turns of plot. Among the laugh
able situations thus evolved is one in
which the Professor, who has acquired a
very considerable fit of intoxication, at
tempts to get away from the officers by
climbing the spiral stairway to an obser
vatory. The difficulties of a spiral stair
way to drunken man, keep the audience
in an uproar of laughter up to the moment
that the learned gentleman reaches the
top. "Girls Will Be Girls" has for its
locale the interior and exterior of semi
nary near Boston, and the fifty or more
pretty young women who take part in it
are said to be charmingly simple and sim
ply charming in dainty gowns of organdy
and other girly dresses. The musical
numbers which Mr.. Hart has composed
include many whistable tunes, among
them japanese lullaby, "Moy o San, !"
which is sung with unique electric effects.
Mr.. Brady's company is headed by AL
Leech and the Three Rosebuds, and a
score of pretty girls and college boys,
which comes to this city direct from its
six weeks stay at the Fourteenth Street
Theatre, New York.
"Girls Will Be Girls" VIM. A. Brady s
musical production, comes to the Auditor
ium theatre, Burlington, ON May 4. r.
Melville Baker and Joseph Hart, have
supplied, it is said, very clever book for
the piece, building a skeleton with a back
bone of plot, limbs of situations and ribs
of bright lines. The story of Professor
Ebenezer Dodge, who goes to cock fight,
escapes from raiding constables and in his
attempts to keep out of Jail involves every
other member of the cast in his predica-
ment, is one said to be of much merriment.
AL Leech, who is the star, has created a
great impression in the role of Professor
Dodge. He is assisted by The Three
Rosebuds and a company of more than
thirty, mostly girls.
