Educational meeting on East River

As a result of the meeting in
the interest of education held in
the Odd Fellows Hall at Mobjack
on the nth. another meeting was
held at Car dinal on the 18th. The
object of the Cardinal meeting
was TO have the patrons of the
schools confer with the commit
tee appointed from the Mobjack
meeting to devise some method Of
consolidating che FIVE schools in
one graded and high school.
After a free dircussion of the
question of consolidation, it was
moved and carried that the same
committee be requested to make
careful estimate of the cost OF
consolidation and the amount of
funds available for the purpose.
and If possible, to present some
feasible plan of consolidation for
adoption at a general mass meet
ing of the citizens of the district.
which will be held later.
The consolidation idea received
impetus from the address of Ex-
aminer Russell at the Mobjack
meeting. and it is hoped that the
committee with the cooperation
of the people will see its way clear
to carry at out.

of pension money. A little over
half of this will go to the old list

The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1910-04-26

ALREADY there are four counties in this
state that are operating under the law
which reduces the Board of Freeholders
to commission of three or five members.
Somerset county is considering trying the
system and is likely to decide favorably.
The four counties that are already acting
under the law governing the subject are
saving thousands of dollars annually and
not one would return to the old system.
The main objection to the commission
idea is that 1t takes away township re-
presentation, but the people of Middlesex,
Monmouth, Hunterdon and Passaic
counties say that objection is a minor one,
and there is no complaint on that score
from any quarter. Somerset is going to
try to abolish the old Board of Freehold
ers because that system does not fairly
represent the wishes of the people. As In
Ocean county so 1t is in Somerset, while
the Republicans have majority In the
Board the Democrats control everything
and dominate the entire business of the
county. Better government, fewer scan
dals and economy have been shown to be
the rule in the four counties that haye
made the change. There was an at
tempt not long since to introduce the sys-
tenn In Burlington county but owing to
the way in which the proposition was put
upon the tickets the voters did not seem
to understand how to vote and the pro-
ject failed. There is still disposition to
revive the subject, as the belief is growing
that If other counties can save so much
money this county can do the same.

veutoried to the sum of $22,67s. Was
that correctf If SO, what has caused the
shrinkage2 If 1t was not 80, who is to
blames The report, if we remember,
was signed by the committee in charge Of
the almshouse and is supposed to have
been prepared by the members. In q
recent Investigation one of the members
of that committee laid great stress on the
fact that there was so much property be-
longing to the county and seemed to think
that was very important item, SO much
80 that he was not able to tell about other
transactions that were asked about. He
did not know whether inmates of the in
stitution were on the payroll, in fact he
did not know the names of the inmates.
One member of the committee knew that
coal was bought on bids, but, regardless
of the fact that there had been a recent
purchase, he could not tell the price per
ton. He thought 1t would be well to buy
in large lots but the trestle at the railroad
station was not safe. The other member
agreed in lack of knowledge OF price, ETC.,
but he asserted the trestle was perfectly
safe Now, the question arises, was the
inventory made with the same know
ledge or lack of knowledge that was showr
In other instances2 If the same goods
are at the almshouse now as when the
March inventory was presented it should
be shown whether the old committee wal
incompetent to put correct price on th'
goods, whether the new committee hal
fixed too low basis, or whether some O
the property has disappeared 1t Is pos
sible the first proposition will be the tru'
solution.

slleneina the Qusstionsrs.

A French gentleman who had been
with NJ de Talleyrand for twenty
years accompanied him to the congress
at Vienna after Napoleon's exile to
Elba. People naturally concluded that
this long intimacy had made him ia
miliar with number of particulars of
the minister's life and bearing also
upon the events with which he had
been mixed up. Worried with ques-
tons. the friend invariably replied that
he knew nothing, but the questioners
would not be satisfied and returned to
the charge.
VERY WELL" finally said Talleyrand's
confdant; 'Tll tell you peculiar and
altogether unknown fact In connection
with M. de Talleyrand Since Louis
XIV. he's the only man who can open
soft boiled egg with one backward
stroke of his knife without spilling a
drop of the contents of the shell. That
is the only popularity l know in con-
nectioE with him."
Discretion had scored a decisive vic
tory. From that moment the ques-
lions ceased.

Nor VERY often does 1. occur that a
member of the Legislature gets tired of
his position the first year of his incum-
bencY, but If reports are true Senator
Thomas A. Mathis, of Ocean county, is
perfectly willing that some one else shall
have his job. 1t Is said the Senator has
informed his close political friends that
he will not seek denomination and that he
will make public statement to that effect
In few days. He was elected to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Senator
Harrison. Political life is not as smooth
as might be In Ocean county and Senator
Mathis. who has charge Of fine yacht
and who is seafaring man, appears to
think that life on the ocean wave is pre-
ferable to the pillows that are to be en-
countered in representing Ocean county
at present.

A Painters Troubles.


The desire Of the Bank of England
OFFICIALLY to discover forgers has some
times led to curious mistakes On one
occasion the painter. George Morland,
In his eagerness to avoid his duns,
retired to an obscure hiding place in
Hackney, where his anxious looks and
secluded manner of life induced some
Of his neighbors to believe him a for
ger of notes then In existence. The
directors, on being informed. dispatch
ed some dexterous detectives to the
residence, but Morland's suspicious
were aroused by their movements in
front of the house and, thinking them
bailiffs, escaped from the back to Lon
don. Mrs. Morland informed the WIS.,
itors Of her husbands name and show
ed them some unfinished pictures. The
facts were reported to the directors
who presented Morland with two TWEEN
ty-pound notes by way of compensa-
ton for the alarm.

The stino Of Inuratitude.

A young physician in the east side.
New York city, spends much time in
charitable practice, says the Newark
Star. In fact, he sometimes gives to
a poor patient enough money to pay
for prescriptions. 'I'm not getting
rich" he explains, "but / simply can't
see them suffer for medicines that
may put them on their feet again.
Not many days ago the doctor had
occasion to visit a woman who occu-
pied one small tenement room with
her three children. After making out
a prescription he gave her So, telling
her to buy the medicine and to use
the change for needed food. On the
following day as he was about to en-
ter the tenement for a second call he
met the ten-year-old daughter of the
patient.
How is your motherT' he inquired
of the child.
"Oh, she's all WE'LL" was the an
