FREEHOLDERS
White Officials SquabbIe
Over Who Is in Charge
Money Is Held Up.
SCHOOL BOARD FORCED
TO BORROW FOR FUND
With $4,000 Due From State
--There Is No Money to
Pay Teachers.

Because of the recent disagree
ment between the old and new
Boards of Freeholders as to whether
or not the offlceholders appointed by
the old board were legally entitled
to retain their offices, County Col
lector Raymond H. Groves has with
held the state school appropriation
of $4,000 which is due the local
school fund and, as the city appro-
priation was exhausted when the last
salaries were paid December 90, it
will be necessary to borrow money
on interest from the Perth Amboy
Trust Company tomorrow to meet
the salaries of the teachers for jan
uary.
The state appropriation was due
here in November, but the county
collector was unable to make, the
dispensation because of writ of
certiorari entered in the supreme
court by the old Board of Freehold
ers, to show cause why Thomas
Haggerty, appointed county collector
by the new board, and several other
appointees, were not entitled to the
offices.
One of the ex-members of the
school board said today that, under
the school law, the board had the
power to borrow money on interest
from local institution should such
a contingency occur. He said that
in all probability the checks of the
teachers would be met tomorrow.
Because of the Christmas holiday
week the salaries are paid this
month a week later than ordinarily.

of the sanitary cole The complaint
was signed by Deputy Inspector Sam
uel T. Frost of the health depart
ment. 1t set forth that the two de-
PENDANTS had slaughtered and
dressed horse December II, with
in the city limits without license.
Larson pleaded guilty, but said he
did not know that license was re
quired. He said he killed the horse
because it was down and couldn't get
up. The recorder fined him IS and
discharged Jensen as the former said
he had taken no part in the killing,
but had received a share of the
horse flesh. AS Larson declared he
was poor man and did not have the
amount of the fine at present, the re-
corder gave him until next week TO

going to use part Of the meat for
food and part for his chickens. No
action was taken against him at the
time as no law could be found pro-
hibiting a man from eating horse
meat If he so desired, but several
days ago the health department

slaughtering without a license.

The short puff sleeves were of the
