FREEHOLDERS IN
A SORRY PLIGHT.
Burlington County Officials Will Have
to Do Some Tall Thinking to
Make Ends Meet.

MoUNE HOLLY, July 30.-when the
Board of Freeholders meet in special ses-
sion on Tuesday, August 6, they will be
confronted with a problem not easy Of
solution, and one caused by their own ex-
travagance. Appropriations to the limit
for stone roads, the purchase of turnpikes,
increasing the board of prisoners at the
county Jail, needless expenditures on
bridges. ETC., have run up a budget for
the present year of over 1881 900. a sum
greater than has ever been asked Of the
taxpayers before.
1t has been found that, in order to keep
the county out OF bankruptcy. that at
least $50, 600 will have to be pared from
the budget, and this will be one of the
important matters for the board to con-
slider. If this is done the county tax rate
can probably be made to conform to an
opinion handed down by Attorney-General
IMcCarter, who says that the tax rate over
last year must be reduced five cents.
Petitions are being numerously signed
to place before the people at the fall cleo
ton an opportunity to vote for commits
sioners to transact the business of the
| county and to legislate the Freeholders out
of office. There are indications that such
a proposition would be largely indorsed
by the taxpayers.

necessitate some measures out of the or
binary to quiet it.
DR.. and Mrs. Waldstein and the Misses
Caroline and Ethel Montieth testified that
Ball beat his horse numerically.
Ball denied the charge and explained
the actions Of the horse n how he
animal that it must behave. He said
while the cracks of the whip might have
made a big noise 1t was because the whip
came in contact with the harness.
Judge Roll then closed the case with a
slight reprimand to Ball. because. he said;
he did not believe DR.. Waldstein would
make the complaint without cause.
