Clearing Snow.

| AT the last meeting of the Board of Free
holders there was considerable discussion
on the subject of paying for removing
snow from the stone roads. The point
| taken was that those roads being county
charges the Freeholders must see that
they were made passable. This appears
to be mistaken idea, however, accord
ing to the opinions rendered by lawyer
and the State Engineer.
This opinion was brought out by the
request of A. w. Lofiand, former mem
Der of the Board from Evesham town.
ship. A stone road in that locality
seems to be inhis care and he had charge
of improving the same. He applied to
Samuel A. Atkinson, Esq, the township
attorney, for an opinion on the subject
and the lawyer replied that he could not
find any statute which required Mr.. Lof-
land to remove the snow. In this Mr..
Atkinson was sustained by R. A. Meek
er, State Engineer, who sent the follow
ing letter:
Trenton, March 10, 1914
Mr.. A. w. Lofiand,
Marlton, n. j.
Dear Sir
There is nothing in your contract
which requires you to remove snow from
the road which you built. Your only OBJ
legation is to maintain the surface of the
road in good condition for one year. The
law provides the proper procedure and
also the manner of raising money for the
removal of snow by the Township Com
mittee and this is its duty; not yours.
Very truly yours,
r. A. MEEKER,
Engineer.
This letter appears to indicate that
even though the road is county charge
it is the duty of the township to make it
passable. This is point that the Board
of Freeholders should consider when the
question comes up at the next meeting.

interest. The front color page of the
magazine section is page of gowns by

a blaze of color is putting it mildly. The
story accompanying the clown pictures
is by Jim Rutherford the great produc-

OF special interest to women is page
of pictures and a story on the Hero of

METROPOLITAN OPERA HOUSE.
1.-The Whip"

The melodrama, 1.-The Whip" now
playing at the Metropolitan Opera House.
Philadelphia, occupied the stage of the
Drury Lane Theatre, London, for two
years, and ran for year in New York.
and if the interest shown in it in Phila-
! delphia continues as it began, if will not
be allowed to leave the latter city for a
long time. 1t is full of thrills and inter.
esting events from the start, when the
masters of hounds come bounding on
the stage with their dogs until the finish
when the race between live horses brings
the play to close. Every actor is an
artist and when they pass before the
curtain in response to a call from the
audience, the applause shows the esteem
in which they are held. One of the
highest compliments paid is the greet
ing given the villain" in the play. So
well does he perform his part that when
he appears Notwithstanding he is greet
ed with applause there are some Kisses
mingled with the handclapping. show
ing that his acting is so realistic that he
has made the audience think he is Just
what he has been showing himself to be.
The railroad collision is one of the best
scenes of the kind ever produced on the
stage. There might be one or two criti-
cisms. One is that the actors do not
speak sufficiently loud to be heard dis
tinctly in all parts of the house. The
other is that the play consumes too
much time, taking over three hours. but
to those who have the time to spare this
objection is trivial as the three hours are
pleasantly spent. 1t does affect the
people from out of the city, however, as
it is hardly possible to remain until the
finish and then catch the last train
home. This may be overcome by at
tending the matinees, two of which are
held each week. The eagerness with
which seats are sought and the difficulty
in getting them except for several per
formances in advance shows the interest
that is being taken. Nothing that has
been presented in Philadelphia for a long
time has created the furore that 1.-THE
Whip has and it is only question of
how long the management will keep it
on the boards. 1t will be some time be-
fore the public will be willing to see it
depart.
