There was a picnic at Rancocas Park |
yesterday, which was intended to be select
and secret, If the invitations are to be |
considered. They requested the invited
person to attend the second annual-picnic |
of the officers of Burlington county, and
these words were at the bottom of the
invitation: lowing to the fact that most
of the officers and justices throughout the
county will attend this picnic, we woul d |
ask that these invitations be kept strictly |
confidential" Why this secrecy was
desired is somewhat of mystery. Per
haps the idea was to keep the lawbreakers
from knowing that the officers were all off
on a picnic Or, maybe the refusal of
County Auditor Worrell to approve bills
which he supposed to be illegal was to be
discussed, with possible appointment of
a committee of ways and means to keep
Mr.. Worrell from getting an office where
he would continue to act for the interests
of the people. This is all surmise of
course, but one of the committee of ar
rangements has been very open in his
statement as to who is so be the next
Sheriff of Burlington County. However,
the picnic was held, but the minutes have
not yet been made public.
