WORK OF BOARD OF SUPERl ISORS
January Meeting Always a Bus!
Ole.

AS is always the case the Board of
Supervisors found much business to be
disposed of at the January meeting and
several days were required to dispose
of it. The members however got down
to business and the docket was COM
pleted before adjournment.
The matter that required greatest
labor and consideration was the pepar-
alton Of general plan by which the
roads should be worked under the con-
tract system and after comparing the
plans suggested by the different mem
bers general plan was worked out and
agreed upon. The plan and specifica-
tion are on file with the clerk of the
Board and can be seen at any time by
anyone who expects to put in bid.
Another very important thing which
the board took up was the matter of re-
| pairing the county Jail so as to make
| the interior as to separate the whites
and blacks. The board advertises for
bids to do this work and bids can be
| filed for consideration at the next
meeting.
| The board also advertises for bids for

now in this country is of such inferior
quality it is sheer waste of money to
build bridges with only to be followed
by another bridge within few years.
/ The board have decided to test the cost
between wooden and iron structures and
will be governed by the comparisons as
to the cost and durability.
Juries for the year were placed inthe

courts will be drawn. The list contains

and a lengthy discussion took place on
the present political situation. The
general feeling expressed by those who
spoke was that the labor organizations
have not had proper representation on
the tickets Of either OF the three poiti-
cal parties. the Republican, Democratic
and Socialist, and on this account they
felt that II they could not get proper
representation on one OF the tickets
they would put up a ticket Of their own
al.l stand by Il.
The labor unions NJ ogden are very
strong, and are banded together as a
unit. In all Of the labor organizations
there are over 1000 members. whose
voice Ii a power in election and other
matters, and they are confident that by
putting a ticket Ia the field they can
easily elect some OF the county officials.
There are also many In the ranks Of
the other political parties who are dis
satisfied. and the labor unions hope to
pull a good vote from that class There
Is no question but II Labor party
ticket IS put up II will poll a heavy
vote and materially affect the other po-
liiical parties. A county central COM
