AT THE meeting on Wedn esday the
Board Of Freeholders made up budget
Of estimates amounting to $275, 892. This
sum Is not for year but for the eight
months ending December 81, 1908. Last
year the budget was about $3.50, 900 for
twelve months, so II will be seen that the
estimates for this year are noticeable
increase, being 900 more than those OF
last year, and only for eight months at
that. There are some reasons for this In
crease the state school fund having been
raised somewhat, and the improvements
to the asylum, amounting to &12, 900.
being included. There are those who
think the latter appropriation could have
been pared down some, but the Freehold
ers decided otherwise and the people will
pay the bill. Where this money is to
come from remains to be seen. The tax
payers claim that their valuations have
been increased to the limit now and 1t is
very certain that the tax rate OF last year
barely raised the money needed. The
recent decision on the method of assassin <
bank stock will make very great change
and the ratables OF the county will be cut
down thousands Of dollars There has
b cen q great hue and cry against the
Board Of Taxation, the claim being that
the tax rate was unreasonably increased
by that body, and now II there is further
increase of course the County Board will
get the censure There are ways in which
the county budget could be cut down. but
the Freeholders do not appear to have
seen any Of them; on the contrary there
were those who insisted on bonding the
county to build stone roads. From the
present outlook the chance for decrease
In the tar rate is not encouraging, but 1t
will not be the fault OF the County Board
of Taxation IL the people are compelled
to go deeper into their pockets for the
payment OF public expenses.

PECULIAR notions get into peoples heads

ness and his character. Under some rul
ing the court allowed the case to go to q
jury. Naturally II has always been pre-
sumed that the cases In court are public
property as soon as docketed, the publ
cation being confined to the mere state
ment Of facts as far as they have pro-
ceeded. To print the proceedings has al
ways been conceded, and THE News has
often gone to press with evidence on one
side which made bad showing for the
other party, when the next weeks issue
has shown an entirely different aspect. In
the case above mentioned 1t did not take
the Jury long TO decide that newspaper
has the right to print testimony and all
incidents connected with a trial as long as
1t confines itself to the facts brought out,
whether they be true or false, and that Is
the correct situation
