The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1909-01-26


In ONE of the ablest papers ever written
Governor Fort has reviewed the financial
condition of the state. and he plainly says
We are not on the verge of bankruptcy.
That there has been quite discrepancy
between the receipts and expenditures
lately Is perfectly apparent. While 1t is
shown that there was large balance on
the 51st of October last there were claims
to be paid which would reduce that sum
very materially and after estimating the
possible receipts and deducting the known
expenses to October 1st Of this year the
Governor figures that the balance in the
treasury would not be over $4,000. This
ia without taking into consideration the
appropriations to be made at the present
session, and after total comparison it is
thought there Is staring us In the face on
the first of next October deficit Of $780,
600. The principal recommendation of
the Governor Is that the amount to be
taken from railroad taxes and put into the
school fund shall be reduced. Otherwise
there must be state tax. Already there
is objection to diverting money from the
school fund, and the Order of American
Mechanics have begun a contest to pre-
vent any such act. There Is much to be
said on this subject and there will be
many arguments pro aud con before q
final decision is reached. While aware
that 1t is not popular position, just at
present, to take, we are inclined to believe
that the Recommendation of the Governor
has good foundation. Regardless of the
fact that many localities received an in
crease In funds from the state, IN many
places the local appropriations for school
purposes were advanced, some items be-
ing lowered, others being raised. There
feeling In many quarters that 1t would
have been just as well to have taken a
smaller amount from the railroad tax for
the school fund.
At meeting of the State Science |
Teachers Association on Saturday, a |
resolution was introduced by Profess
sor Wiener, of the Newark High School,
opposing the Governors recommends
ton, but a statement from Prof. Sensor,
of the State Board OF Education, was
sufficient to put quietus to the resolu-
ton. Professor Sensor told the associa-
ton that the State schools were getting
much more money than they ever had
before; that under the Governors recon-
mendation 1t would still be much more
than for 1907, and sufficient for the pur-
poses Of the Board. and that the State
Board provided for a reduction in ex-
penditures to meet the situation. The
score or more men who have In charge
the educational interests of the State are
better informed Of their condition and
prospective welfare than outsiders who
profess to be their guardians, and common
sense suggests that. while the opponents
of the plan to remedy the States fnan-
cial condition may be sincere In their
opinions. 1t is best for the people to ac-
cept the views Of those who are officially
informed

WASHINGTON BOYS SIGNED.
sherman Greene and Kelley Harris
with POttsviIIe.

Two more Washington boys have signed
to play with the minor league teams
during the coming season. Kelley Harris
and Sherman Greene having placed their
John Hancocks to contracts to play with
the Pottsville team Of the Atlantic
League. Both boys were developed on
the sand lots around town. and are about
ripe for fast company.
They were both members Of the Howard
Athletic Club, OF this city, and were TO
have played with the ball team represent
ing that club during the coming season.
Their loss win be keenly felt and the
manager Of the Howard team will have
to 20 a long way 10 find men capable
OF filing their shoes.
Greene is a pitcher with nerve and
plenty of speed. and Harris is a hard
hitting outfelder.
Greene was the mainstay in the box
for the Brookland Independents last sum
mer. and his clever work was instru-
mental in winning many games for this
fast aggregation OF ball tossers.
Harris finished the season with the
Howard team OF the Commercial League.
and his fast fielding and heavy hitting
was partly responsible for landing the
team in second place in the league
