HUDSON BOARD
IN INTEREST ROW
County Gets Nothing in Return
for Funds Placed in
Bank.

JERSEY CITY, Jan. when I'm
in this board a little longer III make
some of the members sit up and take
notice. 1t is hard to learn what is
going OH when only a certain few gen
tlemen run everything"
This statement was made at a meet
ing of the Hudson County Board of
Freeholdrrs today by Freebooter
Thomas Wren, of Hoboken, in reply to
Freebooter Robert Weir, of Jersey City,
during a discussion as to the right of
the county to get interest on deposits
i'm all banks.
Freebooter Weir had said that before
the board took any action on changing
one of its bank accounts so as to get
2 per cent. interest the members should
go slow and wait until the finance com
mittee. of which he Is chairman, makes
a written report, and hen he added:
When Mr.. Wren is In the board
longer he will know more"
The discussion opened as the board
was about to adjourn. Freebooter
Wren said he understood that a propo-
sition to exact 2 per cent. interest on
the county's account in the First Ma
tional Bank Of Jersey City had been
referred to the finance committee Of
the board with no report from that
committee to date. He said the people
of the county ought to know what has
been done in the matter and he called
upon the chairman of the finance com
mittee. Freebooter Weir, to let the peo-
pie know what the bank had to say.
F%reeholder Weir was or his feet be
fore a vote could be taken and said
the nance committee was prepared to
make some report in the matter, not a
written report, but q general verbal
one.
He then asked Freebooter Wren to
withdraw his motion and wait until
the finance committee had handed in
its written report. He said he was in
favor of getting interest on all county
accounts If possible.
