These items of stock on hand and
the January 1903 liabilities, tOgeth-
er with the overdraft that the pres
ent management had to overcome out
OF the January collections, which
bills We're turned over to them from
1907, amount to $1,540.55; add to
them the prices that the city had to
pay for the street lighting and water
Tor fire protection and you will see
That despite the fact that some peo-
pie claim the city is losing money
by the operation of the plant we are
on the other hand saving the city a
large amount of revenue that it
would have to pay for these things
from a private corporation.
We have bills for collection to the
amount of $1,750. Add to that the
estimated cost of arc lamps, $3.50,
and the estimated cost of water for
fire protection, $4,000, and we have
a total estimated gain to the city of
$3.50. Respectfully submitted,

The total cash received by the com
mission during the entire year was
$13,599. Deduct the total disburse-
ments for the entire year, $13,-

$426.23.
When the present chairman took
hold of the business on January 1,
1908, there was an overdraft of the
bank account to the amount of

leaves balance in bank today of

Now gentlemen, as you all know,
this OVerdraft is not to be charged

Domestic Admits Crime.

With only torn newspaper as clue,
Chief of Police Major arrested within an
hour after he was notified of the robbery,
Lulu Fisher, charged with entering the
residence of DR.. G.. s. Mills, at Riverton,
and taking from the safe drawer con-
tanning over a hundred dollars in cash,
diamond ring valued at $4OU, lot Of
jewelry and some stock certificates. Sun
day morning the Fisher woman, who was
employed as domestic in the home of
Royal B. Smith, on Lippincott avenue, a
few doors from the Mills residence,
brought into the house drawer from
safe which she said she found in the back
yard. Among other things it contained a
number of checks which had been en-
dorsed by DR.. Mills. Mr.. Smith took it
to the doctor, who recognized the con-
tents, but said sum of money was miss
ing. On learning the facts Chief Major
suspected the Fisher woman and secured
search warrant from Squire Hires, of
Palmyra. The drawer had been wrapped
in newspaper and the first clue was
part of the paper which had been torn
out in the kitchen Of the Smith house.
Then the woman was promptly searched.
A part of the money was found in her
stocking and she was taken to the Office
of Squire Hires for further examination.
After being put through the third de-
gree" she gave up the balance of the
money, except So. which was not found
on her and which she did not account for.
She was committed to the county jail.
Later confession was obtained in which
the prisoner described how she had en-
tered the Mills residence through an I'M
fastened door between 2 and o'clock on
Sunday morning, and taken the drawer
from the safe. which was also unlocked.
The money was part of the proceeds of
the operetta, "The Merry Milk Maids,
recently given by the leading members of
the social set in Riverton for the benefit
of the Presbyterian parsonage building

Addition to Health Code

The Board of Health of Northam pton
Township has added measles to its list of
communicable diseases. In cases where
children are suffering from this complaint
1t has been necessary to keep other men,
bers of the family from school. This has
reduced the attendance very materially,
nearly 100 children having been out of the
Mount Holly schools last week. In case of
detention from schools through other illness
the State Board of Education makes allow
ance so that the local school can get its
percentage of money on the attendance
basis. Prior to the ruling of the Board of
Health this could not be done, but now
| the matter will be remedied. The State
money Is distributed on attendance en-
tirely.
| The Board OF Health has also made
another change In Its ordinance on the
question of quarantining. Heretofore 1t
has been the custom where there was a
contagious disease to quarantine the entire
house and either keep the other members
In or compel them to seek other quarters.
Under the new system as soon as a case of
contagious disease is reported instructions
will be sent to the inmates of the house.
The patient, with the nurse. will be putin
a secluded portion Of the house. and the
other members of the family will be COM
PEELED to keep entirely away from the sick
room. The Medical Inspector of the
Board of Health will visit the house to see
if the instructions are being obeyed. If
they are not, then the house will be placed
under the strictest quarantine.
| The new system is intended to relieve
situations which have been thought to be
too severe. In many cases there has not
been a necessity to keep nearly every
member of the family from home, yet
under the regulations of the Board OF
Health such a course had to be pursued
In many instances the sick child has been
In the third story of the house with 9
nurse, while the rest of the family has not
been anywhere near the room, nor In 9
place where any danger could ensue. The
new rule will be greatly to the benefit Of
those who have sickness in the family and
the instructions which will be issued in
every case should be carefully followed
by those to whom they are sent. If this
course is followed there will not be any
cause for complaint, but if there is not &
willingness to aid the authorities the alb
solute placing In quarantine of the house
ond ita in m atea will follow
