THE BOARD OF FRRRHoLDERs find the
financial situation rather embarrassing
as several of the appropriations have
reached the limit, in fact some have gone
beyond what was expected would have
to be spent. Within nine months the
amounts apportioned for bridge building,
repairs to stone roads, almshouse re-
pairs, printing, and possibly :one or
two more items, have all vanished. At
the meeting in January there was ap-
propriated for bridge building the sum
of S45, 900, and at later meeting, $1,000
was taken from an unexpended balance to
aid in keeping the bridges up, yet with
three more months to provide for the
treasury is empty and the $52, 900 have
vanished. And the probabilities are
that the bridges In contemplation
have not all been built, certainly
there are lots of repairs that can
be hunted up. But the money is gone
and there is no authority to borrow
more, so the only thing to do is to face
the situation as it stands.

THE declaration by the Chief Executive
on the Senatorship ought to be followed
by frand announcement on the same
subject by former Governors Murphy and
Stokes. -Neso1rk Nescs
Former Governor Murphy has not. so
far as we know. made any declaration on
the subject, but former Governor Stokes
wrote an open letter to the editor OF the
Bridgeton News. which was very frank,
uncomfortably so for Isaac Nichols. can
didate for Assembly, and the remarks d.
rected to him would have made the ears OF
some people Jingle. Those who read the
letter have construed it to mean that former
Governor Stokes lie q candidate for the
Office of United States Senator, and that
is pretty nearly the truth. And South
Jersey will be back of him when the time
comes.

Board OF Freeholders.

The Board of Freeholders held the
regular meeting on Wednesday, but the
session was not prolonged as the mem
bers wanted to go to the Fair.
A bill of Coroner Seeds, which had been
laid over for Investigation, was handed in
by the committee with the report that the
items had been carefully scanned and it
seemed as If ST ought to be taken off
This was done and the remainder was
paid.
lions to make. They were that twenty
per cent. be paid the contractor on the
work of resurfacing the road from New
Gretna to the county line; that twenty per
cent. be paid the contractor on the Pal
myra road; that bids he advertised for on
the road from Burlington to Bridgeboro,
that the contractor be paid the balance
due him on the new road at Crosswicks
near the bridge. All the recommendations
were adopted.
1t was recommended that the work of
improving the main street of Moorestown
be given to ]. F. Stanley 6 Co. . 10 this
connection there was protest filed against
the use of Amasite in the repairs of this
street. Warren Bros. Co. claimed that
the material is their patent and that they
are the only people who have the right to
use 1t. They presented decision by the
United States Supreme Court which SEEM
ed to substantiate their claim.
Mr. Hilton thought all difficulty in this
matter could be avoided by requiring the
Amasite Construction Company to file a
bond indemnifying the county in case the
other company should bring suit. This
was agreed to.
1t was ordered that Thomas j. Barrett
be paid the balance of 81. 1852. 10 due him
on the Riverton and Palmyra road con-
tract.
The arbitrators In the disputed bill rem
dered by contractor Hurley reported that
the sum of 90, 229. 10 was due him.
The members were given somewhat of q
shock when Mr.. Birkhead, of the finance
committee, told them that the money for
bridges had been exhausted. At the last
meeting s., 900 had been added to the APP
preparations, but it would take 1t all to
pay the bills presented at this meeting
and there would not be any more cash in
sight this year.
There was some talk about what course
could be followed to do work that will be
absolutely necessary, but Mr.. Brick said
the bridges would have to be patched up
as the money had all been spent and there
was no chance to get more.
Then there arose another inquiry. The
advisory bridge committee wanted to
know what was to be done about paying
for a load of stone for the Pearl street
bridge in Burlington. The order could
not be countermanded as the stone was on
the way.
1t was suggested that the Board borrow
the money that Is urgently needed, but
the reply was that the limit had been
reached and borrowing was entirely out
of the question.
Road Supervisor Hilton called attention
to the fact that some of the stone roads
are greatly damaged by certain kinds of
vehicles and by other means. Large farm

THE gyyGULAR uR. B4NN4RD.

We have already alluded to Mr.. Bannards
singular notion that the people of this city are
intelligent. Unlike his chief competitor. who
is authority upon the subject, for he re-
marks almost daily, Il know the people and
they know me-" he is not aware that the public
enjoys being robbed if it may only be robbed
amid verbal fireworks. He clings to the delu-
sion that it wants to get more than 40 cents On
a dollar back in the form of efficient government
for the taxes it pays, He holds perversely to
the opinion that the people desire the waste IN
the city government so cut down that there
will be a margin with which to build subways,
L. increase the number of schools and play
grounds and 10 fight tuberculosis. He talks
about dollars when he might talk about GaynOr.
Dollars interest him. He has 4 mind not above
the economies which a businesslike system
would effect in a great corporation like this
one He approaches the problem of New York
as he would approach the problem of some big
bank or railroad which had been mismanaged
and which he had TO reOrganiZe.
This dull absorption in practical affairs is
the result of Mr.. Bannard's unfortunate bust
ness training He is only business man and
he is unable to look at anything except from
business point of view. New York begins 10
see that he would make very uninterestng
Mayor. As a Mayor he would attend to the
same things that he now talks about. These
business details of the municipal corporation
would occupy his mind to the exclusion of other
and more exciting matters. A prosaic official
he would be bent on such dull affairs as intelli-
gent accounting, economical purchasing wedding
ont the useless employees, and, in general, on eff
ciency that would give the people, perhaps,
twice as much for their money as they now
receive.
1t is only necessary to compare his speeches
with those of Judge Gaynor in order to see how
quiet an administration he would give COM
pared with that 10 be expected from the Chris
tan jurist." The spice of egotism was left out
of his nature. His vocabulary is tame and
colorleSs. Figures interest him. but he lacks
Imagination: for we do not believe, for exam
pie that Mr.. Barnard regards himself as con
secrated" to the multiplication table. With him
as Mayor The City Record would probably
lave no comic supplement, since the KatZen-
iammeT editor is already engaged by his com
rctitor He would stick TO business in his ad-
ministration he does in his speeches The
next four years would be far from declama-
tory that the city could hear pin drop and
would hear many useless heads drop. Whose
wants an administration without "consecra-
ton. defamation, Inflammation execration
and vtuperation must be a person OF incOrrig-
bly, quiet tastes and irreclaimabIy practical in
