The tax to meet these appropria.
ton bills cannot be collected until
January and az result of appropria
tion bills amounting to $3,226,O00 to
be paid this year, the general fund
was practically depleted before the
first day of December.
On the first day Of July when ap
preparations of $3,226,O0O were due,
there was balance in the general
fund of the state treasury amounting
to $3,015,000 Out of this balance the
general expenses of the state govern
ment had to be paid, including the
semi-monthly pay roll.
Next year, according to the auditor
general. there will be plenty of money
to pay all expenses, but unless the
legislature of 1917 makes the appro
priations payable after January l..
1918, it is the opinion Of auditor gen
eral that in 1917 the state treasury
will be in practically the same condi
ton as 1t is today.
Governor Ferris. Auditor General
Fuller and other state officials have
expressed themselves as being in ia
vor of the budget system and il Is
believed that strong pressure will be
brought on the lawmakers during the
next session of the legislature to adopt
this system.

LANSING NOTES

Lansing-It is the sincere wish of
Secretary of State Vaughan, Auditor
General Fuller and State Treasurer
Haarer that the new automobile law
be tested out as speedily as possible
II the people from Wayne county OPP
posing the measure intend to have it's
constitutionality passed upon by the
supreme court.
Already Secretary of State Vaughan
has received thousands of dollars for
automobile licenses to be issued Janu-
airy /, and as the new bill does not
become effective until the first of the
year there appears to be no chance
that a test case will be made until
the measure becomes operative.
II the new law does not stand the
test of the courts and some state Off
Gals are OF the opinion that there are
serious doubts as TO its constitutional
ity, an adverse decision by the court
will mean an immense amount Of
work for the state department audi
tor generals Office and the state treas
urer.
When the supreme court knocked
out the Bricker-Smith bill passed by
the legislature OF 1913 about fifteen
thousand licenses had been issued by
the state department. II was neces.
sary to do an immense amount of ex-
ira work by the bookkeeper of the
various departments to straighten out
the claims.

New Method is Needed.

Auditor General Fuller Isl of the
opinion that when the next legislature
meets there should be a change in the
method OF drawing appropriation bills
so that the deficit which generally
occurs in the general fund every two
years will be eliminated.
Under the present system appropri.
alton bills are made payable before
the tax can be spread. All appropri
alton bills we're given immediate eff.
feet during the last session and pro
vision was made in the special appro
priations that the money should be
available July 1, 1915.

Political Notes.

Assemblyman Godfrey, of Atlantic
county, while candidate for reelection
to the seat he now holds, has been given
a boom for Governor, dinner being
held on Thursday evening for that pur-
pose. Senator Edge, also Of Atlantic
county, has been named for this nomi-
nation, and present indications point to
a lively contest right at home Both OF
the gentlemen who seek the office OF
Governor have hosts of friends through
out the state, and the majority of OBJ
jections to each of them are likely to
develop right in their own midst.
The Republicans must come to the
Democrats was the startling headline
in Philadelphia Democratic paper, last
week, but from what we can hear from
different parts of this state, the Demo-
Gratis seem to have become small mat
ter. In this county, especially, are there
signs of discord and indifference, and
one man who has been an ardent and
effectual worker in Democratic ranks in
the past, said, last week, "there is no
Democratic party in this county"
Edmund Burke Osborne, who was a
New Jersey delegate to the National Re-
publican Convention in 1912, and, as
chairman Of the State Progressive Ex-
ecutive Committee, managed the Roose-
welt campaign in New Jersey, has an
nounced his return to the Republican
party because he believes the Progress
sives can fight more effectively for their
principles in Republican than in Demo
cratic ranks.

was not to blame for the accident and
that he was running slowly at the time.
The boy became confused when he saw
the automobile approaching.
Little Joseph started across the street
to see the comical looking man when
the Rogers auto happened along. When
he stood in the street the autoist believed
he would remain there and kept on run
ming. But the lad turned and started
back to the curb. The mud guard
struck him and one Of the rear wheels
passed over his body.

Merchants, Picnic

The annual picnic Of the merchants of
Mount Holly took place at Rancocas
Park, on Thursday, and gave promise,
early in the afternoon, of being the
largest event of the kind ever held by
the business men. The attendance was
very large and good programme was
being carried out, when word was re-
ceived that the Royle-P ilkington mill
was on fire. In a very short time the
large crowd at the park had almost en-
tirely left the ground to go to the fire.
A rain began falling soon afterward,
which kept up until late in the evening,
and that put final finish to the picnic.
The programme opened with five
inning base ball game between mines
composed of married merchants and
single merchants. 1t was an interesting
contest, with number of laughable
incidents. At the conclusion of the five
innings the score was tie--5 to S. An
extra inning decided the game in favor
of the single men; score 6 to 5.
At the conclusion of the ball game
some of the racing events were pulled
off, as follows:
One hundred yard dash for boys-First,
Howard Harris, prize a base ball; I'd,
Ralph Stermer. prize a ball fielder's
mitt.
Fifty yard dash for men-1st, William

prize box cigars; I'd, William S. Fryer,

This did not complete the races but it
vas decided to go ahead with the base
,all game between the printers and mer-
'hants. Only five innings were played,
IS the rain was coming down quite hard

core was 5 to 2 in favor of the merchants

Along the Shore.

Vice Chancellor Stevens in an opinion
filed August 6, refused to grant the in
junction asked by Edward Fay to pre-
vent the use of the Toms River bridge
across Barnegat Bay 1t suggests, how
ever, that the Island Heights and Sea-
side Park Bridge Company should be
made to keep strict account of all re-
ceipts, and be enjoined from spending
any of these moneys except such as are
necessary for running expenses and
repairs. The bridge company, after Fay
refused last January to make repairs to
the bridge when the ice carried part of it
away, went ahead and repaired the
damage; and when they get the work
done, just before Memorial day, they
opened the bridge for traffic. Fay had
an agreement with the company that
payment was made, and there is up
wards of $50, 900 that he claims due him.
The court finds this agreement between
the company and Fay existed; but says
that the injury to the bridge from its
being used would be so slight, and the
advantage to the public from having the
bridge open is so large, that the injunc
ton is refused. 1t also says such in.
functions are granted only in cases Of
necessity and there is no apparent neces
sity for it in this case to protect Fay in
his claims against the company.
