Miss Florence Sailer and James
Wilson, OF Philadelphia, were week
end visitors at the home OF Mr.. and
Mrs, Henry Hustled.
Township Clerk William F.. Streitz
was in Woodbury. and Philadelphia on
Tuesday Of this week.
| Miss Bertha James spent last Mon
day in Philadelphia shopping.
| Cy. Young, fellow student of Ell
wood e. Downs, was a guest of the
latter last Saturday and Sunday.
| Reed Downs, of Brooklyn, N r.,
son of Thos. S. Downs, spent few
days here this week.
Alma Sanborn was home over Sat-
urday and Sunday Miss Sanborn
holds a very congenial position in
Atlantic City.
Skating continues to be good on the
lake. Crowds are in attendance
every evening.
John c. Walker was appointed Ov-
erseer of the Poor in Franklin Town
ship.
On Friday of last week, in decree
handed down bv Vice Chancellor
Leaning, he decided that the old Off
Gals of Franklin, Wilson T. Jones,
former clerk; M. F. Crane Thos. S.
Downs, Chas. Trimmell, Samuel Low
der and others must give an account
as to how they expended certain mon
eNs. This was the result of a bill
| filed by the Township and Mr.. Hal
lock recently in the Court of Chan
Gerry, demanding an accounting. Will
son t. Jones, one of the defendants.
was the Clerk of the Township. to
whom 1t is alleged was paid excessive
or illegal fees; Downs, Trimmell and
LoWder were former treasurers and
1t is alleged that they disbursed mon
! eys without proper vouchers or au-
thority. These defendants filed an
answer to the bill in the way of de-
murers. In these it was asserted that
the action was not proper one. at
least for adjudication in the Chancery
Court. The Township through its
Solicitor, Harry C.. Carr, averred 9TH
erwise. In his decree the Vice Chan
cellor took that view, so that the mat
| ter will come to a final hearing be-
tore him. The Vice Chancellor holds
that the relation between these par-
ties and the Township is a fiduciary
one and that, as officers of the Town
snip, they are strictly accountable for
all their transactions and that thew
must specifically account in the suit
for recounting against them. When
u. Il. Hallock was elected Collector
OF the Township several years ago.
he promised the taxpayers that he
would turn on the light, but could
not tell what it would reveal" as the
books were in such muddled cpndi
ton, no cash books ever kept, no sys-
tenn of paying out the Taxpayers
money and many other bad features,
the result was the above suits to
straighten out these affairs. The
light at times was very, very dim, in
fact to some was almost out, but Mr..
Hallock kept putting on oil and kept
his wick well trimmed and the light
continued to burn. Today it is burn
ing brighter than ever, so much so,
! that some who could not see, or at
least would not, are beginning to see.
After awhile the light will still be
brighter, SO bright in fact, that every
one cannot help but see what the
light is revealing. 1t is also stated
upon good authority, that this same
light will be kept burning for some
time.

Then he went to Remington's door
He was on the point Of entering with

were affidavits of delegates, setting
forth the facts of their bribing.
