Ocean COunty's Troubles.

The story of Ocean County's troubles,
reads like this, says the New York Herald.
Another Board Of FreehoIders has gone
wrong. The Toms River Courier charges
the Ocean County Board with paying twice
as much for the building Of the improved
road between Point Pleasant and Lakewood
as it should honestly have cost 1t says
part of it was actually paid for twice
Certain bridges also cost more than double
what other and larger brides cost under a
former and more economical administration
of county affairs. 1t is lamentable that the
Freeholders of that honest minded and frug-
al people should have fallen under the dead
~ blight of the grafters. 1t is especially
deplorabie that the improved road move
ment in Ocean should have been tainted by
dishonesty and "rake-offs Ten years
ago there was no more honest Board Of
Freeholders in New Jersey than the Ocean
County Board. It's decentralization seems
to have dated from the building of the
Manasquan River bridge. The bridge COM
pany took the Ocean and Monmouth County
Boards of Freebolders on junketing trip
out to Ohio and to Canada to make "a prac-
teal study Of bridge building"
They learned too much, and Ocean coun-
ty is paying for IL Thee has been a steady
and rapid increase in the cost Of county
government eyer since the Freehoiders re-
turned from that junketing school Ten
years ago, says the Courier, whose editor is
clerk of the Board Of Freeholders, Ocean
county got along on S45, 900 year. Last
year. having raised 500, 900, besides S21,-
900 received from the State road and school
funds, which the county did not get ten
years ago, the county wound up its fiscal
year more than SIC, 000in debt. It is all a
sad story of the surrender of greedy country
men to temptations Of willy men, Of ordering
the construction Of costly bridges, of com
bines with crafty and inscriptions con-
tractors, of the alarming increase of county
expenses and Of graft and ruined reputa.

A commission of three capable and fair
minded men has been appointed by State
Superintendent Baxter to investigate the
Teachers Retirement Fund, in accordance
with resolution adopted By the State
Teachers Association. The purpose of the
Investigation is to discover whether the
plan on which the fund is now operated
gives reasonable promise Of adequate and
permanent resources sufficient to meet its
accruing liabilities, and, if not, to suggest
such changes in the scheme as may be
necessary to place it on sound and en-
during basis. The fund was established
to provide pension for old and incapaci-
aated public school teachers.

Gloucester County is one of a large num-
Der in the State which are likely to be object
lessons to the author Of that maximum tax
rate law It will be remembered that that
law was to limit county and municipal ex-
penditures by fixing tax rate beyond
which no county Or municipality could go.
Gloucester County has had to order raised
this year by taxation S118 900, which is $16,
900 more than last year. We do not sup
pose that the Freeholders of Gloucester in
creased the budget simply for the pleasure
Of doing it-there must have been some me-
eessity for the increase Of taxation, but
under the maximum tax rate law no matter
what the necessity the rate could not beck
ceeded The beauty is that Gloucester is
the home county Of Speaker AVIS who show
ed the maximum tax rate law through the
Assembly as party measure. Sunbeam.

GRAFT AND GRAFTERS.

This seems TO be an era Of graft and
grafters, at least one gathering the idea
that it is from even a causual reading Of
the public press, especially that Of the
great cities, and occasionally the disease
is communicated to the smaller munich
palities, if we are to believe certain class
Of writer's
Graft, as we understand the applita-
tion Of the word. is the taking of public
money by stealth, illegally, not honestly
rendering an equivalent, by those charged
with the honorable conduct Of public
affairs
A CRATER. as we understand the word,
is public servant who prostitutes his
office to personal gain. Who in the
awarding Of public contracts seeks to
enrich himself; who in the purchase Of
public supplies seeks commissions for HIM
self Tor graft or ''rake-offs;n who in the
purchase Of land for public uses returns
a higher price to be paid from the public
treasury than the real price. The old-fash-
Toned word to express this crime was thief.
There must be two or more parties in
successful grating.
First the dishonest public servant, and
second the dishonest seller, whether of
goods or lands.
To our minds the owner of goods who
tempts public servant with personal
gain for the sake Of disposing Of his lands
Or his wares for public uses is amenable
to the charge of grating, and we should
think the law would be just as severe in
dealing with him as with the party Of the
second part.
Within the past week an unknown wrlttr
ID a local sheet insinuates that there was
graft IN the purchase of the Manley Lot
by the Board of Education of 1904 '05.
Our opinion Of the person who would
max such an insinuation against his
neighbors, and hide himself behind an
anonymous signature, and the public
print that would give it publicity is, that
neither Of them possess character enough
to resist graft if opportunity was offered
to get their hands on it. And further,
that either or both would turn grafters the
minute they came into public position
It is our opinion that the owner of the
Manley Lot, the members of the Board
Of Education, the members Of the Board
of School Estimate, and the members of
City Council who voted for the purchase
Of that land at the price stated can better
afford to have the ill viii OF such writers
and such publishers, than their good will,
and we say this Notwithstanding the fact
that we are familiar with the old saying
that the good will Of dog is worth having

COURT DECIDES
THAT UNGER CAN
HOLD OFFICE.

Last Friday Judge kirwan handed
down Il decision in circuit court declar
ing City Surveyor John S Unger second
appointment legal and permitting him
to retain the office he has now held for
about four months. Ungers second ap-
pointment was made May 22nd, 1903, by
hich time he had become resident of
the city His first appointment was
made May |, 1903 at which time he was
resident of Milwaukee. The first ap-
poiutment was, therefore illegal and
the court requires Mr. Unger TO pay the
costs of the action. Moreover, Unger is
subject TO a Judgment for S23. o. III fav-
or Of Louis PITT, the retiring engineer.
The decision, which is quite lengthy
covering some ten or twelve type-writ-
ten pages shows that there is not the
slightest evidence of a conspiracy on the
part of the mayor and council, even not
if the citys executive and Legislative
body were informed that Mr.. Unger was
not resident of Manitowoc at the time
of his first appointment, May /. Unger
came here May }, with the intention of
establishing his residence in the city.
To do this period of ten DAYS was re
quired. Hence lie became IA resident of
the city May 49, The court rules that he
must reimburse Mr. PITT for the salary
the latter would have drawn during the
ten days Unger bel office prior to the
time he became resident of the city,
the term for which PITY was elected hay
ing not expired and there having been
uoeectiou
Il will be seen that, while Cnger wins
the sut, the decision is favorable in part
to both litigants.
The decision shows that the case in
volved several issues. The court holds
that the title Of the Office does not rem
der the election void. Unger's election
either as city engineer or as city survey
or would have been legal if occurring af
ter he had become Il resident of the city.
IT, at the time of the first confirmation,
the council knew that the appointee
was not a resident, that fact constitutes
no evidence of bad faith, nor does it ent-
er into the case
