of said Board
Solicitor Avis said, in reference to
the members of the Board who had
not filed election statements, that they
could not be members of the Board,
according to the decision of Judge
Starr in the Paulsboro cases,
Mr.. Cooper thanked the members
of the Board and the Solicitor for their
kindness and then left his seat.
Clerk Bell read letter from the
Penna. R. r.. Supervisor at Millville,
calling attention to the placing of
5 signs near where R r. crosses roads.
Mr.. Usinger thought the county
should not put them up, as it was to
protect railroad property for which
the County was not liable Mr.. Best
said he had noticed such signs in other
counties, and they were very useful,
and there would be nothing wrong in
erecting the signs
Mr.. Usinger said Mr.. Best,s inten-
tions were good, but similar notices
were not paid attention to, and he
thought the railroad should pay the
bill for placing them.
Mr.. Usinger offered an amendment
to Mr.. Best's motion so the communi-
cation was received and filed, instead
of being. referred to the Road commit
tee, as was Mr.. Best's motion.
$4,000. for current expenses-$450 90
for Mt. Royal bridge, and 5$274.32 for
the Mantua Grove -Mickleton road was
asked for and voted unanimously.
Solicitor Avis said the Board had
to grant the Bell Phone Co. the priv
ilege of the right of way along roads
for the erection of poles. All the
County gets is the franchise tax,
which is not direct, as the townships
!. get the money directly
Mr.. Ledden decried the law of 1908,
under which the County gets no COM
pensation from Phone Cos. when they
y are given the privilege of erecting
poles along County. roads.
The ordinance of the D & A Phone
Co. for the erection of poles, etc,
along Co. roads passed first reading.
Mr.. Walton moved the ordinance be
referred to special committee to
recommend necessary revisions and
corrections, if any.

j The bond Of Mr.. Tiffany, signed by
ID. H. Mumford was the cause of
comment, as the bond had not been
satisfied. and the matter of collection
of the bond was left in the hands of
the Solicitor.
Mr.. Abdill, sealer of weights and
measures, said that there were ten
'alrequired weights n the County which
iwere necessary for his office, but he
Kcould locate but four. He also needed
ian Office.
II He has found some butter weights
J wrong and has ordered the butter sent
back.
He requested the appointment of a
committee to go over the matter with
! himself
Mr.. Usinger said he thought the
: State should supply the weights and
measures necessary, and not the
J county The law does not require it
