OFFICIAL REPORTS
MUST Be MADE

Several physicians and ministers are
in receipt of letters this week con-
tanning a severe reprimand and a
warning, as the result of a recent
visit of state officials to this city.
The visit came about as the result
of dereliction of duty and a direct
violation of the law, by the physicians
and ministers in filing their return of
vital statistics.
In the case of birth, the law states
that the return shall be made to the
days. And in the case of marriage,
that no license is valid until twenty
four hours after the time of issue, and
is not good for more than thirty days,
also that the return of the certificate
to the registrar shall be made. within
five days from the date the ceremony
was performed. Certain of the profess
sional men have been violating the
law to such an extent, either by ne
glect or failure to return the certif-
Gates within the proper time, that it
has attracted the attention of the state
authorities
The penalty for such failure is a
fine of fifty dollors, in the several in
stances discovered here, the gentlemen
in question were permitted to go with
a reprimand at this time, and warn
ing that the full penalty would be i'm
posed if they were again discovered
violating the law.

COMMISSION
ON TUBERCULOSIS
The Report Proves to be Very
Interesting.
MANY CATTLE KILLED
1873 Herds of Cattle Were Killed in
This State in Less Than
One Year.

Since August of last year, 1873 entire
herds of cattle in this State have been
submitted to the tuberculin test. No
less than 2788 individual animals
were involved.
This Of itself is pretty good evidence
of the activity of our State Tubercu-
losis Commission. 1t shows likewise
a wholesome determination on the part
of many of the dairymen to rid their
herds of this terrible disease at any
cost.
OF the 2,7SS animals tested, SIS re-
acted and were slaughtered. In other
words, 1875 per cent. of those submit
ted to the trial were shown TO be
tuberculous.
The probability is that this average
is rather lower than that which pre-
walls throughout the State. Native
cattle are tested here only upon re-
quest of their owners, save in those
rare cases where the State Board of
Health demands the test. AS the COM
pensation for cattle slaughtered by
the State is inadequate, only those
owners who have reason to believe
that their stock is free from the dis
ease are likely to ask the test.
But let the figures stand as they
are. Eighteen and one-half per cent,
almost one out of every five of the
cattle of the State, are afflicted with
tuberculosis. And, according to the
census of 1910, New Jersey has 222, UP
cattle, valued at $7,131,000. On the
25,241 dairy farms of the State there
are 154,233 milk COWS.
The disease is insidious, slowly pro-
gressive, deadly. Each animal affect
ed by it is centre of contagion. I'm
der favorable conditions, one may in
feet an entire herd Where eighteen
per cent. are infected, the danger to
all is therefore too grave to be over
looked or sbelittled.
Just how much the dairies are con-
tributing to the terrible white plague
here in New Jersey, it is impossible
to say. No doubt the percentage is
small, but it is in human suffering and
death, and, alas, principally in the
suffering and death of little children.
But there is a brighter side to the
figures. 1t is distinctly reassuring
that in nine months 12S herds, contain
ing 2,7SS cattle, have been purged of
tuberculosis. here is added encourage
ment in the fact that of the 10000
COWS brought in from other States, the
44S shown by the test to be tubercu-
lous were slaughtered at the border,

new SCHOOL =
FOR GOULDTOWN

The County School Superintendent,
John N. Glaspell, has condemned the
Gouldtown school shouse, as being un-
fit for school purposes. A new school
house will -be built there, and the
Superintendent says it will be brick
structure, he thinks.
This school house is something over
hundred years old, but not in its
present condition, as it has been re-
built within the last 30 years.or so.
1t was originally one-story build
ing and was moved to its present site
some so years ago, from near where
the Loder schoolhouse is situated.
t was then called the Lummis
School house, and was moved to Gould
town and placed on a lot donated out
of the estate of Elisha Gould, the
grandfather OF Rev. Theodore Gould.
1t is time the structure was replaced
with one more modern.

The July Meeting Held This
Morning.
At THE COURT HOUSE
The Regular July Meeting Convened
Today in Their Rooms in
the County Building.

The twenty members of the Board
OF Chosen Freeholders gathered this
morning at the County Building for the
regular July session of the Board.
When the various county legislators
reached the rooms of the Board, there
was piled upon the desk of the direc-
tor lot of work, more than usual.
The July meeting is not usually
session of very much importance, but
it was understood this morning that
before adjournment a very large
amount of detail would have been TAX
en- up and disposed of.
1t was but few minutes after ten
O'Clock this morning when Director
j. Henry Bacon called the Board to
order, and following the roll call, the
reading Of the lengthy minutes of last
session took some time.
Then came the payment of the bills
which had been approved by the f.
nance committee, and this work was
followed by the reports of committees
regarding minor affairs.
Walter H. Bacon, solicitor for the
Greenwich township committee, ap-
peared before the Board asking aid
from the county in improving the road
from Greenwich to Bridgeton. Mr..
Bacon asked for the improvement to
be made in 1913, and the estimated
cost is fixed at about $3000 The road
improvement starts from the railroad
crossing on Greenwich street, and
provides partly gravel and partly oy-
ster shells. The road continues on by
Sheppard's Mill to the Hopewell town
ship line. The proposition is to di-
vide the expense between the county
and the township. Mr.. Bacon urged
action at this time so that the town
ship might raise the money necessary
at the fall election. Mr.. Bacon pre-
sented form of contract for the
county to execute in connection with
the township committee.
The agreement was entered into by
vote of II in the affirmative.

ktUHElE WINS THREE.
Convicted Boss Will Probably Con
troll Three of the Five Com
,missioners.
THE FIVE WINNERS

Atlantic City, July 9.-Organization
and anti-organization forces fought a
drawn battle today in the hotly con-
tested fight for the election of board
OF five commissioners to rule under
the commission plan of government,
becoming operative on July 16.
The city's five future rulers, who are
to have the control and the expendi-
ture of upward of $2,000,00O annually,
with power to bond the resort to 10
per cent. of it's total taxable debt, are
politically recognized as three organ
ization and two anti-organization men.
The five all-powerful commissioners
and their respective votes follows:
DR.. j. B. Thompson, 1897; Mayor
Harry Bacharach, 4195; City Treasurer
Albert Boyer, 1924; William H. Bart
lett, 1916; William Riddle, 1907.
DR.. P. l.. Hawkins, the colored ply
sician, who made a strong fight for a
place in the board. was overwhelm-
ingly beaten, finishing low man among
the ten nominees, with 1856 votes.
1t was an even break between Bob"
Delaney, the political boss of the
Fourth Ward, who backed Mayor Bach
arach against the whole city macaine,
and Commodore Kuehnle.
Delaney elected Bacharach and Doc
tor Thompson, the banker and Chel-
sea hotel man.
Kuehnle elected Riddle, former
Councilman and a large beach-front
owner; Boyer, the City Treasurer, who
has held political Office for sixteen
years, and Bartlett, who is a bank
director and business man.
Mayor Bacharach carried his home
division, the First Ward, and Delaney
carried the Fourth Ward for him.
Kuehnle machine workers and the
army of placemen opposing the Mayor,
captured the Second and Third Wards.
The remarkable feature of the cleo
tion was the victory of Thompson,
president of the Chelsea National Bank
and President of the Chelsea Hotel
Company. He got 392 more votes than
the Mayor.

ALL CROPS
BADLY NEED RAIN

Rain is needed-badly so. All crops
are suffering from the lack of water.
Potatoes will be a short crop if there
is not rain very shortly. Corn is suf-
fering very greatly. There has not
been a good rain in this section since
June 18th. In Gloucester conditions
are worse, the draught longer contin-
ued. 1t has been five weeks since rain
fell in any part of Gloucester county.

indeed, that if Chief Inspector McNabb
and his men continue to stop tuber-
culosis at the border, and faithfully
apply the test to native cattle wher-
ever possible, the disease will soon
be under control and eventually prac-
tically eradicated.

The election Tuesday passed
of very quietly and proved sur
prise and disappointment to the
ring candidates.
The Good Government carried
all tho important Offices with the
exception OF the Clerk OF Court,
the Police Jury stands four to
four.
The Good Government leagus
elected Wade Martin, as Sheriff.
T. T. Bienvsnu, as Assessor, W.
j. Burke and Fsrnand Mouton as
Senators, ID. G. Liable and j. M.
Olivier as Representatives and
nearly all the ward officers.
Bob Broussard received q hsa.
w vote and Sanders was slashed
everywhere.
The Good Government people
are sadly disappointed in the de-
feat of George Eastin for Clork OF
of Court aud F. I. Guilbssu for
Police Juror. but these gentlemen,
in their personal defeat. have .
right to rejoice at the victory OF
the faction, as this success is
theirs. as they have made the
fight. they have fought from the
beginning of TIE campaign until
the last ballot was cast, and kept
the machine from turning in the
amount Of illegal votes that have
always been cast at past elections.
