which comes, on Tuesday, and the
matter may be taken up then. at

But in so important a matter it is
bought the Council will seriously con-
slider there course before taking the or

made.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Governor and Council opened, at 1D.15
Thursday morning, with Chairman
cred q. kinsman presiding. Matters
Il routine business comprised the work
t the forenoon. The first business to
ONE before the meeting was that laid
ater at the last meeting, viz. that the
um of 500 be taken from the auto
und and expended by the highway
department. on piece of road on
Rocky Hill in the vicinity of Clifton.
he matter was laid over for the exc
-utive session.
A letter from an undertaken in
earspert was then read before the
1eeting, and the letter stated that
he undertaken had taken charge of
tody found, last March, in a nearby
river, and that the bill for the burial
this body amounted TO $50. The
nan, whose body was found had a
life insurance and if the body could be
properly identified, the money from the
Insurance would more than pay the
ill. Ii was voted to leave the matter
IN the hands of the attorney general.

le. 30 A. NJ. Councillor kinsman then
read an order which provided for

In speaking of the seed Holsters
Governor Haines stated that the Unit
ed States government wished to limit
the number to 10000. The fishermen
will have about 5000 Holsters besides
the 10000. and if these are not taken
Ii will be a great diseouragement to
the industry. Governor Haines assert
ed he was taking the matter up with
the eoneressmen, and believed that the
could be extended to $4,000.
The difference in cost would be about
$500. but the benefit would be for the
United States-not for the State alone.
The State itself had no money to take
care of this overlay, but the Federal
was the only recourse.
