ROAD REFUSES
TO PAY PAVING SHARE.
Railway Tells Freeholders Shore Road
Contrary to Specifications - Reilly
$1,000 Bill Then Held Up.

4 There was a complaint submitted to
the Board of Freeholders Thursday by
the Atlantic City and Suburban Trolley
Company that the Shore Road was not
being built according to contract and
specifications. This matter was discuss
ed at some length and finally the COM
plaint was referred to the Road Commit
tee, the County Engineer and Solicitor
Higbee, with instructions to make an in
yestigation and report at the next
meeting of the Board.
At the time, the attention of the
Board was called to the fact that the
trolley company had refused to pay any
part of its share of one-third the cost of
the building of the Shore Road. This
was quickly disposed of by referring the
matter to Solicitor Higbee with instruc-
tions to make demand for the payment
of the money from the company, and if
refusal was made, to take such legal
steps as might in his Judgment be best
calculated to the accomplishment of the
desired end.
Reillys Bill Delayed.
A bill for SO 900 offered by Contractor
Bryant Reilly, which had been approved
by the County Engineer, and recommen-
ded paid by Mr.. Willitts, Of the Finance
Committee, was held up on motion of A.
B. Smith, who moved that payment OF
the bill be withheld until the committee
had investigated the charge of the troll
ley company that the road was not be-
ing built accorolng to specifications. The
motion prevailed.
Collectors Report.

$297 900, and money ,-ue the State Trea-
surer for school tax to the amount OF

$5l3, ,43O.42.
The appropriations made by the Board
for the coming year show an increase oi
$54 ,S70.57 over last year, but in view Of
the fact that balance of S9l ,636.l9 wa;

the taxpayers as might appear at first
glance. The total appropriation for last
year was $s6l, 1852, while this it il

will visit the exhibits in the mornings
and in the afternoons will have pa

Columbia, April 16.-One thousand
boys in school together is not a rare
sight but a gathering of one thousand
school boys around a banquet board
is unique. And when it is said that
these one thousand boys are Corn
Club boys, from all the corn growing
states, what a sight it will be,
This is the plan of the National
Corn Exposition management, to have
a great Exposition School for prize
winners in the county contests of the
Boys Corn Clubs, as conducted
throughout the Southern states by the
Federal Farm Demonstration bureau,
and the city council of Columbia,
where the corn exposition is to be
held next January, has announced
that the city will give a banquet to
the one thousand or more boys attend
ing the Exposition school. -
The school will consist of the two
toys in each county winning first and
second place in the Boys Corn Club
contests. The school will open on
Monday, January 9th, 1913, the open
ing day of the exposition, and will
continue one week. The faculty will
consist of agricultural experts from
all parts of the country who will be
in attendance on the Exposition,
which is much more than a mere corn
show. 1t is a great national agricul-
tural exposition not being confined to
corn alone, and the opportunity which
it affords for agricultural education is
unexcelled.
The boys attending the exposition
school will be quartered in a large
building, near the main exposition
buildings, and they will be In charge
of representatives of the Farm Dem
onstration work. The boys will be or
ganized into semi-military organi-
