If YOU SEE IT, PICK
IT UP, IT'S $500 WAD

The police of the Second Precinct
are earnestly seeking a bank roll con-
tanning $500, which, until this morn-
ing, rested comfortably In the pocket
of Frederick Huff, a resident of East
Orange, but which is now conspicuous
by it's absence. 1t seems that Huff en-
tered the store of Philip Koescer, at 211
South Eleventh street, and asked him
to change a Sc bill. Koescer kindly
consented to do so and Huff pulled out
his roll of bills to get the fve-spot,
Koescer soon brought the desired
change and Huff left the store, leaving
at the same time, he claims, the whole
roll or the counter.
Discovering his loss about twenty
minutes later, Huff called up the store,
but was told that he vas badly mis-
taken" Not only did the proprietor
disclaim any and all knowledge of the
vanished money. but said that he had
not seen it. Huff then called up Ser
geant Purcell at the Second Precinct
station and told him of his loss.
Plainclothesmen Goodwin and Norton
were detailed to trail the missing bank
notes. So far they nav found no trace
of them.

FEAR NEW FREEHOLDERS
MAY END SUPPLY BIDDING.

The Board of Freeholders, acting as
a committee of the whole on supplies.
met at the Court House today with
Richard F. Malta acting as chairman.
The meeting was for the purpose of
discussing plans for buying the nu-
merous supplies of all kinds used by
the county in the various institutions
and offices.
The old board of thirty three mem
bers a year ago instituted the COM
p~etitlve system of bidding on all sup
plies, and as a result a saving to the
county was shown in almost every
transaction.
1t is expected that the competitive
system will be kept in effect by the
small board, though it is understood
there is some slight opposition to It
by some of the new members.
