freeholders held another meeting
Monday afternoon, adjourned for
the purpose of taking up the county
appropriations, but decided not TO
pass upon 1t, as all the bills for last
year have not been turned in. The
members thought it best to get the
1911 business cleared up first, so as
to start on the new year with a
clean slate. Some of the 1911 APP
preparations have been overdrawn
and a deficit" appropriation will be
required to cover these amounts.
One surprise the freeholders have
had was to learn that their rights to
appropriate money for the hospitals
Of the county has been questioned.
Last year they allowed $4,000 each
to the Perth Amboy hospital and TO
Wells and st. Peters hospitals OF
this city. Since then the attention
of the board has been called to q
court decision that seems to question
the right to make the appropriation.
The freeholders, 1t Is understood,
propose to make the hospital appro-

has been absolutely denied. Coun-
