BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING
Hospital Patients Able to do so Should
Pay for Treatment.

Hospital Patients Able to do so Should
Pay for Treatment.
The regular meeting of the Board of
Health was held on Monday evening,
with all the members present. Sew
eral residents of Early street we're
present in regard to the culvert cross
ing that street near Mills street, the
condition of which they showed was
intolerable. Steps were taken to have
the matter taken up at once and i'm
proved.
The matter of supporting patients
at the Barker pavilion was discussed
at length. 1t appears that the i'm
preston prevails that beca use a small
appropriation is made by the town
authorities for the care of the very
poor there that it absolves people who
are able to pay for the care of their
relatives there from all responsibility
in the matter. The injustice of this
Is apparent. If the health authorities
in order to safeguard the health of the
town remove patients to the hospital
and permit the other occupants of an
infected house to go about their usual
pursuits and earn their regular wages
it is the grossest ingratitude on the
part of those people to wash their
hands of all responsibility for the
care of their relatives and put them
in the position Of paupers being sup
ported as public charges. If patients
were kept at home in charge of a
physician and nurse it would cost far
more than the charges at the hospital,
to say nothing of the inconvenience of
quarantine. The matter was ordered
Investigated and steps will be taken
to compel people able to do so to pay
for their hospital treatment.
Preliminary steps were taken to
have an inspection of all dairies sup
4 plying the town with milk.
1t was reported that the property
owners on Franklin place and Frank
street had agreed to have all sewer
connections made to the curb line
while the sewers were being put in,
thus saving tearing up the streets
later.

Twenty members of the New Jersey
Anti-Saloon League, who held din
ner at the home of Fillmore Condit of

the opinion that the Governor should
be kept in his present position and not
allowed to cherish Vice-PreSidentia

ture.

tude, and suil that he ought to be
kept in his present position to keep up
the fight.

cussed, and it was decided to make ef-
forts TO secure cooperation with the
friends of the movement in the several
parties.

summit coal pockets SOLID.

The coal pockets operated by the
Lackawanna Railroad at Summit have
been sold to the Baxter Coal Company,
formerly of Newark. These pockets
were built to compete with the deal
ers located on the Railway Valley
Railroad. after the Railway Valley
had extended its line to Summit and
had been in operation about a year.
The Lackawanna sold its coal for many
months direct to the consumer at
wholesale prices. These pockets, To-
Gated on the side track owned by the
Lackawanna, with which the Railway
Valley asked permission for switch
connection, was one OF the difficult
points for the Lackawanna to elimi-
nate in it's effort to explain at the re-
cent hearing before. the Interstate
Commerce Commission, in New York,
why the proposed connection of the
Railway Valley road would interfere
with its passenger service. The dis
posal of the coal pockets is considered
a victory.

AS IN WASHINGTON'S DAYl
FruuDce's Tavern Restored to Its Old
Time Aspect


made the restoration, after much in
vestigatiOn of all the evidence drew
the design which has been realized in
the building as it stands to-day. 1t is
now supposed to look as it appeared
when Washington visited it, and all of
the bricks and timbers remaining of
the building which was known as
Fraunces' Tavern are still in the
places they then occupied.
The restoration is based on an ad.
vertisement printed in 1916 in which
Fraunces offered his inn for sale and
described it as "three-stories high
with a tile and lead roof, has IA fire,
places, a most excellent large kitchen,
venient offices, etc" The earliest pic
ture of it is dated 1854. This showed
the building as it appeared after its
recovery from the damage caused by
the great fire. of 1895. In the same
year it was again visited by fire. This
time the Long Room" was burned
out, and the wall on the Pearl street
side above the second story fell out
ward. When the building was restored
| this time it was made five stories high
with fiat roof, and, barring the sa
loon on the ground floor, looked as il
did until the recent restoration.
When the building was dismantled
for restoration the lines of the ole
