AT THE last meeting of the Board of
Freeholders, MIR. Birkhead, of the finance
committee, reported that ''for some I'M
explained reason" the appropriation for
the almshouse had been overdrawn over
$4,000. The subject was given passing
thought, motion adopted to pay from
some unexpended balance" and the mat.
ter was allowed to drift out of sight.
The News has called attention to this
item of county expenditure more than
once. The Republican party did not seem
to care to nominate another candidate for
the Office of Steward and the people did
not take kindly to the Democratic nomi-
nee and the present Steward was re-
elected. But that does not, to our mind,
prove that the county is willing or desir-
GUS of having the expenditures increased
even If they do seem satisfied with keep
ing them at the same old standard. There
should not be any unexplained" or ''un-
explainable" reasons why these OUTLAWS
overrun the appropriations with clock
work regularity, and 1t seems up to some
body to find out what is the matter. And
who better than the Board of Freeholders
elected by the people to look after their
interests? This is no new story, attention
has been directed to it before. Since 1902
the appropriations have been exceeded
annually, reaching as high as 50. 40. 40,
and as low as 81 $685. 7-the latter figures
being the record of the year when the
Steward sought re- election, and, that point
secured, the excess boosted up the next
year to 50. S01.6 In 1902, '03 and '04, the
appropriations were SO, 900 per year, the
expenditures from $12. $50 to $15, ITO, not
including the amounts spent for improve
ments. In 1905 the appropriation was ad
vanced to 5000 and still there was an
overdraft. In 1905 $1,000 appropriation,

priation was raised another$1 900, making

Euphemiams For Death.

'Decease" is now regular form of
word for death. But 1t began as a
gentle euphemism, "decessus (depar.
ture) seeming much less harsh to the
Romans than 'mors." All languages
abound in euphemisms of the kind
which go back to superstitious re-
luctance to mention death plainly that
gradually passed into a kindly desire
to soften the idea. Passed away
departed" gone" expire" breathe
OUT, mo more" demise and even
1.-The late' are expressions of this ma
ture. Most striking of all is the Ro-
man euphemism for "he is dead, ''vix-
1t" Che has lived.

In selecting commissioners to inquire
into the increased cost of stone road con-
struction and the causes therefor, Cover
nor Stokes came into Burlington county
and chose John E. Darnell No better
selection could have been made. As a
member of the board of Freeholders Mr.
Darnell gained the reputation of being
thorough in every item that came under
his supervision and not asingle penny was
spent by committees on which he served
unless value was given for it. In the
Office of Director of the Board he gave
general superintendency to all questions
and his opinion was sought and given
weight. The position to which he has
now been appointed has no salary attach
ed to it, but that will not cause Mr.. Oar.
nell to lack interest and his connection
with stone road matters in this county
will be of great value to the commission.
A remark made in court yesterday when
Mr.. Darnell was appointed on a commits
sion to view turnpike will show the higl
regard in which he is held hereabouts
Judge Horner suggested the name of tn,
gentleman from Mount Laural and asked
| if there was any objection, to which one o
the lawyers answered: IF you are goinl
to name commission of gentlemen of tn
reputation of Mr.. Darnell there cannot b
word Of criticism"

COMPLICATIONS may arise over the
awarding of recent contract to build a
stone road in this county. The Board of
Freeholders decided to give to Stanley &
Co. the building of the road between
Lumberton and Cross Roads But Mr..
McGovern, competing contractor, OBJ
jected on the ground that the specifica-
tions given him as . guide were different
from those on which the successful party
figured. He threatened to bring suit un
less bids were readvertised for. The mat
ter was called to the attention of the Stat,
Road Commissioner and he said he would
not confirm the award unless assured tina
the suit of McGoyern could be successfully
defended. This promise could not b,
given and there must be another advertise
ment and consideration of bids There i
argument that the county having voted tt
give Stanley the contract will be held II
its action, but as no contract Is valid un
till it has the signature of the State Com
missioner no fears need be felt on tina
score.

THE Hudson County Tax Board may
enter a criminal complaint against Tax
Assessor James Bowe of West New York.
An investigation shows that he has two
sets of books. one that was filed with the
County Board and the other with the town
official for collection, in which the latter
exceeded the total of the former by $63,
1855. the town thus evading the payment
OF its just share of the state, school and
county tax, as the books should have been
similar. Bowe's explanation is that he
had mislaid his assessment book and had
to make up the book for the town from
memory. The charge against Bowe is
such as could have been brought against
many assessors in the state in past years.
Since the appoi ntment of the County
Boards of Taxation this practice has been
abolished very materially although it will
be seen that there are some assessors who
still adhere to it. There is getting to be
an understanding, however, that 1t Is moi
wise to interfere with the tax laws OF to
continue any practices that will not stand
the light of day. After books have beer
stamped correct by the authorities assess
ors or other officers have no right to alter
them in any manner. If they do they are
liable to punishment.

cerned, amount to 81, 919.S7, and this sum
was deducted from the expenses. Here is
an item that many taxpayers have for a
long time contended could be looked into
very closely and the opinion is genera ally
expressed that it would be a paying in
vestment to lease the farm to an outside
party or to abandon it altogether. There
is not the slightest doubt that it is regu-
lar sinking fund, costing more to main.
tain than the results warrant Whatever
is done there seems to be no doubt on one
point. If it requires $4,000 ito run the
almshouse, appropriate that amount and
see that it is not exceeded. The asylum
is given a certain amount and the reports
do not show that there is an overdraft
every year. Why should one institution
live within its means and another be al
lowed to run beyond The Board of Free
holders should make it their duty to see
this year that there is no unexplained
or ''unexplainable" reason for doing some
thing that the law strictly prohibits.
