CAN NOW HAVE BRANCH

Trenton. March Among the
last bills to be signed by Governor
Wilson was the one authorizing SEQ
ond class counties to expend by mai
ority vote OF the Board of Freehold
ers a sum not to exceed 100000 to
locate and equip a branch county
court house other than in the county
seat, where the court conditions and
population warrants such action.
This law was enacted primarily for
Monmouth county where 1t Is desired
to have a branch court house at Long
Branch. But 1t applies equally as
well to Middlesex county where 1t
may be desired to establish branch
court at Perth Amboy, which place
is larger and much more convenient
to majority of the residents of the
county than is New Brunswick, the
present county seat.
