Mrs, Marie Traphagen, of 8 Goes

her husband, William e. Traphagen,

WOULD DESTROY
USELESS PAPERS
Auditor of County Books Makes
recommendations to Get
Get More Filing Room.

S. H. Wenck, of Montclair, who,
since May IA, last, has been engaged
in making his yearly audit of the
county books, today submitted his re-
port to the finance committee of the
Board of Freeholders. The report
shows that the books of all the coun-
ty departments have been kept in
good shape during the fiscal year,
which ended on May IA A few err
rors were discovered, but all were of
minor nature and due to clerical
mistakes
Mr.. Wenck recommends that tn =
freeholders consult with the various
county department heads and devise
some means of getting rid of useless
papers that now clog vaults to such
an extent that room is badly needed
for current documents. Mr. Wenck
said it would be advisable to adopt
some plan whereby documents not
needed as records could be destroyed
after a certain period of years.
A bill of $2,291.66 submitted by
Consulting County Engineer James
Owen, being one-sixth of per cent
of the cost of the new Belleville
bridge, for which Mr.. Owen drew the
plans, caused some discussion among
the members of the committee, and
1t was finally decided to hold the
bill up for the time being. There was
no argument as to whether Mr..
Owen was entitled to his fee for draw
ing the plans, but 1t was pointed out
that when he submitted the plans he
said he thought the bridge could be
built for $175,000.
The lowest bids received for the
bridge are about $275000, and the
committee members believe that in
stead of paying Mr.. Owen on that
basis his stipend should be fixed by
the amount of his estimate of the
cost, or $4,000.
The salary of Miss Helen E. Kane,
recently appointed copyist in the
county surrogates Office, was fixed
at $50 per month.

WILLIAM SHAUGER."
Shauger was very sensitive about
the peculiar attacks to which he was
subject, and to prevent the parents
of his prospective bride from learning
about them it is thought that he once
went so far as to concoct a hold-up
story
He was found at 100 a. m. April
26 unconscious in Wheeler street,
West Orange, a short distance from
the Yaeger home. He told the police
that he had been accosted by a tall
man, who had asked him for a match.
The highwayman, so he said, had hit
him in the jaw and knocked him
senseless. He claimed that Sc had
been stolen from his pocket.
Sergeant John j. Heslin had been
sitting in front of the police station,
only around the corner, at the time,
and it was thought that If any such
attack had taken place he would have
heard it.
Shauger was in the City Hospital
on December 10 and February 26 this
year. Each time his case was dag
nosed as hysteria. He was 20 years
old and had been counting Miss Yae-
ger for two years.
