Refuses Money for Roads.

REFUSES money TOT hOauS'
Commissioner Stevens, in a letter
read at a regular meeting of the Board
of Freeholders at Mount Holly, advis-
ed them that he will not pay any
money on the allotments recently
made to Burlington County for high
way improvements because the Free
holders are permitting James Logan,
of Mount Holly, to hold the two Off
ces of County Engineer and Supervis-
OF of Roads after the Attorney Gen
eral had declared that such offices
are incompatible. The Commissioner
adds that he cannot appoint him.
Land Prices Raised.
That various improvements are con-
templated along the lines of the Penn
sylvania Railroad between Trenton
and Jersey City is plainly apparent.
For weeks there have been gangs of
surveyors out at different points get
ting levels and other data that will be
of service when actual work is begun,
Every time six or seven surveyors are
seen in a country village somewhere
along the line of the railroad at once
there is a rum6r THAT a new railroad
will be built. Then the next thing is
the raising of prices for property.

AGAINST FOOD POLLUTION.
First Report of Vigorous Crusade In
augur-.:ed Recently by the State
Board of Health.

abSdi--O6 USSShN'y W Wv ShahS
Board of Health. -.
DR.. r B. Fitz Randolph, chief of
the State Board of Health, made his
first report of the State wide cam
paign inaugurated by the board to
compel merchants to screen food
stuffs from flies, dogs, the hand of
man when dirty and from all contain
i1ating sources. Some evidence of the
campaign came into the eyes of off,
Gals here when the State board sent
to the city commission notices of 112
violators of the State law with the re-
ques that the local health authorities
compel the merchants to respect the
law. At that time there was contro-
versy over how this could be done
and DR.. Randolph said that it was ex-
tremely easy, that every food mer-
chant in town was known to the po-
lice and all that was required was in
struction from the chief of police to
arrest after warning those who did
net put food exposed outside of their
places in glass cases or otherwise
screen it from flies, dogs, etc.
At that time the State board also
State law puts tn duty on local boards
of health of compelling compliance
with this law. The City Commission
here did nothing and in a short time
70 re-inspections were made by the
State board, with the result that Al
suits have been started which, if sue
c~essful, will result in Al merchants
paying $50 apiece into the State treas
ury, a tidy sum to have there. The
State wins about one hundred per
cent. of such suits.
Trenton was not selected for attack,
but the campaign "a put to the test
here with the above result. DR.. Ran
dolph's report shows the widespread
campaign as follows: Asbury Park,
II inspections, with the result that
everybody was ordered to screen food
offered for sale. In Atlantic City there
have been but six inspections and no.
tees sem to all of them. Four in
spections and four notices to screen
food resulted in Atlantic Highlands;
Al inspections in Bayonne resulted in
no notices being sent, though some
will go out neXt week. Bergen Point
had two inspections and no violations;
Bridgeton had three inspections, the
same number of notices to clean up;
Camden is found a great violator with
81 inspections and Sd notices to screen
and obey the law; Cape May, two in
spctions, no notices; Cliffside, four in
spections and no notices. Elizabeth
was found fairly clean with 81 inspec-
tions and but five notices to clean up;
Gutenberg had three inspections and
no notices; Highlands, four inspec-
tons and four clean up notices. In
Jersey City there have been 126 in
speotions and the notices to be sent
out will include almost everybody in
spected. Newark has not been report
ed on, but inspectors are working
there night and day. Other inspec-
tons and results are as follows: Nor
ristown, 6 and Ocean City, 10, with
no notices; Union Hill IS and no no.
tices; Washin gton, 6 inspections and
the same number of cleanup notices;
Weehawken 9 and Wildwood Is in
SpectiOns, with no cleanup notices.

King of Loan Sharks.

Daniel H. Tolman, money lender
with a chain of offices recently in
large cities throughout the country,
was warned by Judge Gnichtel that he
must remain out of the so-called loan
shark business for three years upon
penalty of Imprisonment. In passing
sentence On Tolman who pleaded
guilty to violating the New Jersey law
in conducting his business, the court
fined him $1,000 and announced that
if he should conduct a money-lending
business in any part Of the United
States or Canada during his prota-
ton, the court would consider the pro-
baton broken and cause his arrest
and imprisonment. Tolman is 81
years old and a resident of Montclair.
His activities have been the cause of
investigation in cities and
have given him the sobriquet of King
of the Loan Sharks. He has made a
fortune out of the business.

Acid Test Applied.

It is understood that in one depart
ment the auditors found that an
amount of work ~aggregating $4,000
was contracted for without advertis-
ing, contrary to the State law. The
bill has been paid. This matter would
have not been discovered excepting
from this kind of a system. The new
system is a Missouri one. The audit
crs intend making this department a
vital one instead of one criticism and
advice after the money has been got
ten out of the State treasury. Up to
the present time the auditors have
not caught up with the work, but
within a month they will have things
so hat every bill of the State must
stand their acid test as to correctness
of charge before it will be paid.

ACID TEST ON
STATE EXPENSE
Auditing Department Has New
System of Rigid Surveillance
MANY WEAK SPOTS FOUND
Comptroller Edwards Selects His Own
Assistants Independently of Civil
Service LaW-Has Sole Respon-
sibility of Passing on Bills.

Especial Trenton Correspondence).
Trenton.-When State Comptroller
Edwards got hold of the auditing de-
partment, which under Mr.. Drake was
run as a separate department, MI. Ed
wards insisted on naming his audit
ors, independently of the civil service
Law. He told the Legislators that this
was the work of his department, that
1t represented money to them, and as
he had the sole responsibility of pass
ing on bills of the State he ought to
be given the right to select his own
men. That right was given him. The
three auditors, McGrath, Nevin and
Smith, were named from his personal
friends. They have been at work a
few months now and without friction
have m1naged to get the business of
auditing in a different form. The new
plan Of Comptroller Edwards is to
have his men scrutinize all bills be-
fore they are paid. For instance, the
men of the State who travel who have
expense accounts must have vouchers
for all their expenses. One nan had
the habit of telephoning at various
points. The charge for the phone
would come in his expense account
and not be questioned. Now, he must
give the date of the phone call and
from what point, and the telephone
company bill must show this call and
receipt for the cash money paid for it.
All Bills Examined.
All bills are now gone over with the
care the bills of travelling men are
given in mercantile houses. When
there are cuts the auditors make them
and there is no appeal except to the
comptroller himself. This works out
in another way for the good of the
State. The Civil Service Commission
has the certifying as to salaries.
When there r increases in salaries
the commission could ask for the min
ute Of the board raising the salary.
Generally this is not done. The head
sends in the bills properly certified
and the commission gives it an o. K.
Under all circumstances this is all
that the commission should do. If
there is nothing which indicates that
the law has not been violated there
is no concern on the part of the COM
mission as to the reasonableness Of
the bill; that is up to the comptroller.
Now come the new auditors. They
insist on having the minutes when the
salary was raised, OF the authority for
the raise from the head of the depart
ment. They get it, and sometimes
c~arelessness is found in records. Min
utes have to be corrected, and this
means a good, healthy audit for the
bills Of the State.
