A WITHOUT SERVICE.

The Trenton Times gets down to
some sound business talk in the fol-
lowing:
The fifth week of the legislative
session is ended and still no bill has
been introduced to wipe out that use
less state board Of arbitration, which
is pure graft and of not the slightest
use to the state, which pays the ar
bitrators'' 5000 a year. Let the leg
islature abolish this useless board,
along with the fish and game com
missioners and their wardens, the
state sewerage commission. the Pas
sale Valley sewer commission and the
flood commission, and spend a part
of the money thus saved in salaries
for a force of men to enforce a fair
automobile law. A dozen men of the
right kind, placed in charge of the
public roads commissioner, would

which permit reckless Automobiles

A GOOD START.

The manner in which the Board
of Health settled down to business
Thursday night was refreshing. 1t
begins to look as if something was
really going to be accomplished. The
NEWS has frequently quoted the
work being done by health boards
in other cities of the same class as
Perth Amboy, while a~djournments
and mere inspectors reports were the
only thing to be noticed here.
President Main spoke truly in his
address upon taking his seat, when
he stated that the Board of Health
was one of the most important bod
les in the city. There can be no
doubt about it and in nearly every
place but Perth Amboy this fact is
recognized. Evidently the commas
sioners have ideas of their own how
the affairs of the board shall be run
and what they do not understand
they will investigate.
The change has been a long time
coming, but it is here at last and we
do not believe the people are going
to be disappointed. Everyone Of the
new commissioners are enthusiastic
in the work before them and they
are evidently determined to accom-
plish some results. Every year sees
Perth Amboy getting OUT OF the old
rut with new blood and new Energy
coming into power. This all tends
toward the 10000 population in
1910. Let the good ori 90 on.

1t would seem that the state board
of arbitration would voluntarily pass
out of existence, for it is hard to I'M
derstand how any self-respecting citi-
zen, who really has the welfare of
the state at heart would take the sal
airy offered the commissioners. When
they accept the Office they must GER
tainly know that there is absolutely
no work attached to it. To receive
money from the state treasury with
out giving a penny's worth of service
in return is what has come to be
known as graft and no man likes to
be known as a CRATER, yet there is
the state board of arbitration with all
seats filled and a long list of appli-
cants awaiting the first vacancy.

A few days ago we took occasion
to comment upon the reputation Bur
lington county was getting regarding
crimes. 1t might be said, in justice
to our sister county, that it's reputa-
ton for capturing and dealing out
justice to the criminals, balances, in
a large measure, her unenviable rec
ord. We recall the assault of three
negroes upon a woman near Burling-
ton some time ago, who were speed
lily captured and sentenced to forty
years in state prison, the limit of the
law. Now the negro who has confess
ed to the murder of Miss Atkinson at
Moorestown has been sentenced to
hang and his execution will take
place just t~hirty-five days after the
crime was committed. Burlington
is certainly doing her part in uphold
ing the eXcellency of Jersey justice.

INJUNCTION Refused
TO GRAF TON PEOPLE

duty, too TO build all the necessary
and expensive bridges in the county.
whether within or without the city.
That because payments to the
sheriff, OF which plaintiffs complains
ed, had been paid out Of the levies Of
1905 did not, even II Illegal and I'M
authorized. render void or voIdable
the Ievies of 1905.
In reference to the qualification OF
Phillips as member OF the court
Judge Lynch held that his removal
from one nnagisterial district to an-
other in the county did not disquali-
~ him, for the reason that he was
not district omcer but county of
hcer, and, so long as he did not re-
move from the county he could legal
" serve on the court.
It was also charged that there was
collision between Phillips and Henry
in letting the contract and that they
would be both personally benefited
by the construction Of the bridge
OF this feature of the case Judge
Lynch says in his opinion:
"The charge that the bridge con-
tract was entered into collusively
and In fraud of the rights of the
taxpayers, at an exorbitant and ex-
travagant price, and costing more by
$4,000 than 1T should otherwise
cost, is denied by the answer of the
county court, and the individual
commissioners composing It, which
answers upon this hearing, are read
only as amdavits. Being thus af-
armed and denied. but in my judg-
ment not justifying the Court in
granting the Injunction prayed for,
does not warrant the Court In COM
tinuing the case for proof and fur
Their hearing upon this allegation Of
the bill as it is. also the further al
Legations of the bill and denial Of
the answers relating to the personal
interests OF two Of the commission
ers and the benefits accruing to them
from the construction Of the bridge
in question"
Thus, Judge Lynch has refused the
injunction but has not dismissed the
bill.
The questions involved are Of
great moment as they have universal
application throughout the State and
cover case that has not been fully
passed upon by the state supreme
court.

County Court and sheriff Can Pay
For bridge in City of
SAYS JUDGE CHARLES LYNCH
In An Able and Exhaustive Opinion
Delivered In Noted In
junction Case

Judge Charles W. Lynch of the
circuit court of the thirteenth cir
cult OF this state has refused the ap-
plication for an Injunction in the
case of Charles NJ. Glenn and others
against the County Court of Taylor
County and others. His opinion COW
ering fifteen typewriter pages and
treating the subject is an able and
exhaustive manner was mailed Tues
day night to the parties in interest.
The cause has been pending in the
chancery side of his court since Sep
TENDER, and he gave 1t much thought
and consideration.
The PLAINTIFFS asked for an order
restraining the sheriff of Taylor
county from proceeding to collect the
taxes levied and assessed by the
county court OF Taylor county July
6, 1906, on the ground that the
court had allowed and paid the
sheriff $3.50 for the Good Roads con-
vention and S527sS as commissions
and discounts on taxes paid during
the discount period, and because the
county court had passed two orders
to the Canton Bridge Company-one
for Sc, 900 and the other for $4,000
for building abutments to a bridge
in the City of Grafton, under con-
tract with the county court.
The plaintiffs claimed the court had
no authority to construct bridge in
the corporate limits Of the city be-
cause it was the duty of the city un-
der its charter to construct and
maintain its bridges; also the plain
tins claimed that the effect of the
contract for the abutments was to
bind the levies of subsequent years
for the superstructure Of the bridge;
also they asked for an injunction be-
cause Robert e. Phillips. member
of the county court, having moved
from Fetterman district. wherein he
resided at the time of his election as
a commissioner of the court. to Graf
ton district, wherein John H. Henry,
another commissioner then resided.
was disqualified thereby, and Ulysses
Morrow, the other member having
voted against the contract. 1T was IL
legal and not binding.
Judge Lynch held:
Phillips was not disqualified, and
the contract, therefore, was legal.
That the contract for abutments
only did not bind levies of succeed
ing years for the snperstructure.
That the county court under the
provisions of Chapter 40 of the Code
had the legal right, and it was its
