TO answer indictments charging grand

The complainant in the case is james

The charges Of grand larceny and
forgery in the third degree, upon which
the indictments were brought, grew
out of transactions covering Il period
of more than ten years. during which

PRIVILEGE ON
FERRIES GONE
Local Commuters on Staten Is
land Road Must Pay Extra to
Cross the Bay.

The commuters ON Staten Island
are to lose their privileges. Commits
sioner Bensel Of the Department of
Docks and Ferries, who manages the
five big steamboats, which the city
runs in its first attempt at municipal
operation, has reached the conclusion
that commutation tickets are not
profitable under public management
Of the ferry boats. Accordingly he
proposes that the Communication tick
els which are now used on the ferry
boats and the Perth Amhoy division
Of the Staten Island Rapid Transit
Company. shall be given mp. one
small remnant is to remain. Work
ingmen and school children are still
to use the tickets.
What Staten Island win think
about this is of little concern to the
dock commissioners. He declares he
is pressed by a necessity. not a senti-
ment. He must make the ferries a
paying proposition. At this time
they are losing money-losing it so
fast that there is a big deficit each
month.
Under the present arrangement
the city will get $4,000 o than
at present" said Col. Bensel today.
My deputy is now in conference with
the managers of the railroad COM
pany to see what can be done. Next
week we shall announce the abolition
of all Communication tickets except
those for school children and work
ingmen.'
This arrangement, declare the peo-
pie of Staten Island, will leave them
in a condition worse than they were
before the city took over the ferries.
They have always been able to buy
Communication tickets on the Staten
Island-Perth Amboy line. Now the
only advantage to them lies in the
better boats and the better time made
by them.
Those benefits, how ever, do not
help your pocket" said a commuter,
when he heard of the new plan. I'VE
might better put up with the old
boats and bad service again if W.
could ride cheaper. We thought that
municipal operation meant a saving.
We now find that it will cost more to
live over there than when private
corporations owned the boats"
But, according to figures given out
at the Department of Docks and Fer
ries, the boats ire losing a large
amount of money, and this abolition
of the commutation ticket is an eff
fort TO get funds. The city has re-
ceived two cents from each passenger
on the ferries. Three cents has been
given up because of the arrangement
with the Rapid Transit Company.
The three cents means thousands of
dollars TO the revenues of the city.
but every dollar must come out of the
pockets of the people Of Staten Is
land.

TO CUT DOWN
THE BUDGET.
FreehOIders May Be Able to Save
MOre----Are Now Getting
Ready.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Mar. 9.-The
Freeholders, although the time for
the making of the budget is about
two months off, are carefully sonsid-
ering the matter of the budget so
that they will be in a position TO
adopt one in May that will meet the
requirements of the county and yet
not provide for anything not abso-
lutely needed. From the present es-
Inmates they thing that they will be
able to save the county from $4,000
to $4,000 in the budget to be made
this year.
Preliminary to the making of the
budget the Freeholders have been
making a thorough inspection of the
county roads themselves, not desiring
to rely wholly on the report of the
road inspector, as heretofore. To-day
they went to South Amboy, and went
over the roads in F~reeholder Mont.
gomery's district. Several of the
roads were found TO be in need of re
pairs. The roads in Madison town
ship are said to be in good condition.
and will not need repairing.
Last year the county budget was
$319,61S.S3 the highest in the his
tory Of the county. The old Board
Of Freeholders knew that it would be
their last year, and they raised the
record budget of the year before,
making it $14,S26. sc higher. Then
thew Wadpd into the concentrations
and spent most of the money before
their successors got into office.
The old board always claimed that
the county could not be properly con
Quoted at Il less budget than they
adopted. 1t is expected thai the g
board will give a practical demon
stration Of what can be done. II will
have to take care OF increased court
expenses, owing to the salaries Of
the judge and prosecutor, but it may
be able to save on this by cutting
down on county building expenses.
They will not need a gang of men
continually working about the county
buildings patching things needed and
not needed. The new j|anitor looks
after all of those things.
The board will be able to save a
lot on culvert and bridge expenses,
it is expected. Much work given out
in the past seemed TO be of the nature
of political jobs, a sort Of you rub
my back and | will rub yours" There
will be no more PUBS"
