resents the yearly sum appropriated
for the repair of that road. In the del
egation were members of the commit
tee, who said that they would go back

subscription to bring their share up
to $500.
The board redeemed a $500 road i'm
provement bond sold in 1910 to Mrs.
Adm r. VanSickle, of Sandyston
township Money from the sinking
fund was used for the purpose.
The board ordered the contractor of
the Newton Branchville road to con-

residence of Jacob Roe in Augusta.
Because William Kays, of the Of

VOTE TO COMPLETE
BRIDGE IN SUSSEX
FreehoIders Advance Money to
Contractor So Work Can
Be Resumed.
Special to the Evening Star.

NEWTON, Dec. lin order to in
sure the early completion of the
Ross's Corner bridge on the Branch
vile road the Board Of Freeholders
voted yesterday to advance 1910 to
Joseph e. Edsall. the contractor.
That sum represented the amount due
on a sight draft at one of the local
banks. The sight draft was sent
with the shipment of iron work for
the bridge. The iron arrived on the
siding near the bridge, and Mr.. Edsall
told the board that he could not un-
load it until the draft was honored.
He said he did not have money
enough to pay for It. Consequently
the completion of the bridge was de-
layed.
Freeholders Coo and Van Sickle
stated that the time for completion
of the Branchville- Newton road
would be up today. but they said they
would not vote for an extension OF
time to the contractor until the con-
tractor smoothed the road on section
one, from the town limits to the farm
Of Levi H Morris. The original limit
was set for October 81. The board
extended the limit until December l,
asking the contractor to put some
kind of material on the road, so that
travelling over it would not be so
rough. Last year the contractor put
field stone on the bottom course on
that piece of road and rolled 1t down
after putting some dirt over 1t. Now
the stones are sticking up.
Part of the afternoon was spent on
the Newton tanhope road near the
residence of former Freebooter Albert
p. Kinney, in Andover, where the
State road department wants to
g. dangerous curve. The
wants the freeholders to
furnish the right of way for the i'm
provement. The land that it will be
necessary to acquire is owned by the
Singer Sewing Machine Company.
The board was notified to remove a
bridge that encroaehed the property
owned by a Mr.. Mansfield in Byram
township along the MISUNDERSTANDING
road. Mr.. Mansfield told the board
that the bridge was constructed near
his barn and interfered with the APP
proach to the barn.
Acting for the Hampton Township
Committee, former Judge Huston no.
titled the freeholders that the district
had voted to appropriate 81 for
the improvement of the road from
Baleville to the Newton limits with
county aid Mr.. Huston was informed
that the freeholders will appropriate
collar for dollar with the township up
to $500. Mr. Huston said that in ad-
dition to the $1,000 the town commit
tee would appropriate 5000 more for

ENGLAND FORCING LRISHMEN
TO DRILL FOR WAR SERVICE
Madison De scribe How Government Agents
Allow Only One Man to Re main in Each Irish Family, the
Others Being Compelled Train for Duty in the Army.

Davitt, of Columbia road, Florham
Park. Mr.. O'Neill writes from Coun-
ty Wicklow. He states that there is
much suffering caused by the draft
ing of troops. He himself emigrated
to the United States a few years
ago, but went back for a visit to
the old folks without having yet ac-
complshed his naturalization. He
had intended to return to this coun-
try within a short time, but he was
Immediately notified to report for
duty at a recruiting station. His
mother a widowed woman, had six
sons. One married and all the rest
were home at the time the drafting
started The five unmarried sons
were taken without ado and only the
married one remained to take care
of the farm
1t is stated that the Irishmen are
being drilled in the very latest war
maneuvers. They are shown how to
spread electrically charged barb wire
and how to avoid 1t when placed in
their pathway. They are also being
taught the latest shoot and ad-
vance" methods and how to advance
with the least chance for a raking
fire
Another case mentioned by q cor
respondent is that of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Davitt, of Greenann. County
Wicklow. This couple, now almost
seventy years old, reared a large
family, most of whom have come to
this country. One son, Hugh, re-
manned. When the officers called at
the door he was told to make ready
to serve as q. soldier. His parents
prayed that he be left to them to
take care of the farm as the old
folks were neither young nor well.
The officer in charge declared that
he had to adhere to the rule to leave
only one man in each house.
Numerous residents of this part of
the State have received letters tell
ing of this condition. The officers
cover a county at time and are
slowly but surely sweeping the whole
of the little island.
