WILL BUILD NEW ALMsHOuSE.
FreehoIders Finally Decide to Replace
Present Fire Trap.

The Bell Phone Company applied
to the Board of Freeholders at their
regular monthly meeting last We'd
nesday for consent to put up pay sta
tions all through the county on public
roads for the convenience of people
travelling in automobiles. Action on
the matter was deferred for a month
b cause of dispute between some of
the members of the Board as to what
extent the company should be favored.
The Company was given the privilege
some time ago to string wires along
the county roads and in return was
to furnish free service for public bus
mess to the various county offices and
officials. Some of the Freeholders
claimed that the company was charg-
ing the county for all calls and they
were not inclined to grant further
extension Of privilege.
Plans for the building Of new
almshouse at Smiths Landing, to cost
approximately $4,000, were adopted.
Freeholder Fortner started the move
ment for the building of new Aims
house, which has so long been needed,
to replace the fire trap that is now
used as home for the INDECENT OF
the county. Superintendent McCon-
nell said that it was veritable fire
trap and that if fire started there it
would be impossible to get the people
out of the place and that all or nearly
all would be killed as result of the
county's negligence in providing a
safe place for them. Mr.. Mcconnell
said, also, that the place was SO full
that it would be impossible to take
any others there except that some OF
the Atlantic City poor, who are board
ed there by special arrangement,
were discharged and sent away. Mr..
Mcconnell made strong plea for a
new building. He declared the old
fire trap should not be kept there a
moment longer than was absolutely
necessary. Following this statement
and appeal, Mr.. Fortner moved that
the plans prepared some time ago by
S. Hudson Vaughn for the construc-
ton of a new brick Almshouse be
looked over and adopted by the board,
and that specifications be prepared

Mr.. Eugene Swilkey has at present
over seven hundred chickens on his
poultry farm. Mr.. Swilkey began
this business with just seventy fowls
and his great success may be attrib-
uted to his constant watchfulness, and
the sanitary conditions surrounding
his farm.
Several Of the enterprising ladies
of this city have formed Sewing
Club to meet every Wednesday after
noon. Fancy and domestic sewing,
stencil work, embroidery, and several
forms of raffia work are contemplated.
The charter members Of this new or
ganization are the following: Mrs. E..

The Rebeccas' Chicken Supper at
Ryon's Hall on Tuesday night proved
quite an attraction. Over two hum

the menu was very delicious one.
Refreshments in the shape Of ice

and this added snug sum to the
Golfers Of this excellent organization.
The neighboring towns represented at
this function were Pleasantville, Lin

and bids advertised for to be opened
at the December meeting of the board.
Tho resolution went through without
a dissenting vote. Mr.. Fortner also
called attention to the fact that the
insane hospital was filled to its capac-
ity and that steps would have to be
taken to enlarge that building in or
der to care for the county insane. He
said that there was no room for other
patients until some Of those already
confined there were well enough to
discharge or some of them died. He
advocated building an addition to the
hospital, and said he believed it could
be enlarged without going into great
expense. The hospital committee was
given authority to look into the mat
ter and ascertain the cost Of building
an addition and report at the Decem-
Der meeting of the board.

NEW WAY FOR SOLDIERS
TO GET PAY.

Monday, November A, was what the
old soldiers call Pension Day" for
this district, being the day on which
he receives his pension voucher, en-
suring him his pension for the last
three months Pension days in this
district fall on the fourth day of Feb
ruary, May, August and November.
In accordance with law passed by
Congress at this session, the method
of payment of these pensions will be
altered after the quarter.
In the past the veteran had to take
his pension voucher to notary pub
lie or other officer having seal. The
voucher duly executed, was then mail
ed to the Pension Agency from which
the pensioner received his pension. By
mail he then received a check for the
amount of his pension and another
voucher for the next three months
pension.
The procedure in the future will be
quite different. The voucher and its
execution by a notary public are done
away with, thus saving the veteran
the cost of execution. The pension
check for the next three months pay
will be sent to the pensioner in place
of the voucher, and when the next
pension day arrives all the veteran
will have to do will be to sign his
name on the back of the check and
get two friends to do the same, certi-
flying that they know him and that he
is the right man to draw the pension.
He will then cash the check and in
due course it will find its way to the
United States Treasury and be filed
as a receipt for the pension. All the
work of Issuing and filling out the
