The Ocean county board of freeholders
are advertising for bids for new road
through the pines west of Barnegat.
When this road is built if Burlington
county will build to connect up with it,
there will be another cross-state road,
putting Barnegat, Manahawkin and
Long Beach on line to Camden and
Philadelphia. The board also approved
and ordered bids advertising for a small
piece of road at Bay Head, to connect up
the beach road with the county road sys
tenn at Point Pleasant.
The Bay Head road runs from the
north end of the Seaside Park-Bay
Head county road to Osborn's avenue,
where it will meet the piece of road the
county is now building. 1t will be adj
vertised for as soon as the State Depart.
ment approves the plans.
The road out OF Barnegat settles dis
pute between Barnegat and Manahaw
kin. Barnegat wanted the road to reach
the Richard Harrison cranberry bog
which make Barnegat shipping point
Manahawkin wanted the road to run
direct from that village, and put up tn
argument that it would give straigh
cross state road to the Long Beacl
bridge. Barnegat contended that Mana
hawkin had just got the road from tn
town to the bridge, and it was their turn
and won out.

work, on the permanency of its
achievements. An artesian we'll has
been installed at the county asylum.
new bridges have been constructed,
old bridges have been repaired, our
accounts have been properly audited
and the county's affairs generally
looked after in an economical and
business-like manner. The year has
been pleasant one, the associations
formed here, congenial and lasting.
The work, while at times arduous, has
been enjoyable, due largely to the
spirit of the individual members of
the board, prompting them as it has to
give largely of their time, energy and
ability to the accomplishment Of the
duties assigned them.
"The grim reaper death has taken
from US two of our honored and be-
loved members and the board sadly
misses the fellowship and service of
our departed brothers, Harry DubeIl
and John Davis.
ITO the outgoing members of the
present board permit me to say that
this board shall miss you. Your 10y
atty to the interests of the county has
been marked and you will have the
satisfaction that comes from duty
well performed, for you have been
faithful public servants. There has
been no adequate compensation paid
you except in the consciousness of du-
ties well performed and the satisfac-
ton that comes from the fulfillment of
ones obligation to ones county. May
your private life be fraught with
profit and pleasure to yourself as |
am sure it will be to those who have
the honor of associating with you.
CAS- we look over the year which is
just passing, we should profit by the
mistakes we have made and am sure
that every member of this board who
has been recalled to serve by his con-
stituents for the year 1916, has with
in him at this moment high resolve
that the approaching year shall be
the best in the county's history, that
the public's business, whether it ap-
pertains to matters of health, morals,
public institutions, roads, finances, ad-
ministration or what-not, shall be
faithfully, economically and efficiently
conducted.
''In conclusion. want to assure the
members of my profound gratitude
for the courtesy you have extended
to me, your director. By your CO.
operation, your harmony, your pa
thence, you have made the task of your
presiding officer agreeable and easy.
We may have had honest differences
OF opinions as to policy and methods,
but | am sure that we all have the
same purpose and object in our minds
and hearts, namely, to serve the best
interests of our county to the best of
our ability.
May you each and all have a Merry
Christmas and most Happy and
Prosperous New Year."
Then all the officials present and some
OF the members told how good they fell

years old, former chief clerk of the
weather bureau, was found dead in his
home, 1868 Irving street northwest. last
night, by a ledger. Mrs. Carroll and

the house at 7:30 o'clock yesterday

When he returned to the house twelve
hours later and found Mr. Carroll in
the same position he investigated, and
found him dead. Death is ascribed to
heart failure.

and her daughter to the city, funeral

lngton, having been born in this CITY
October 10. 1850. He received his edu-
cation in the local public schools, and
in 1870 Joined the old Signal Corps of
the United States Army During his
hrst years in the service he was sta
toned at several coast stations. He
came into the central office In WASH
ington in 1852.

service was separated from the mill
tary in 1891 and became the weather
bureau. Mr.. Carroll, in point of serv-
ice, was one of the eldest men in the
work when he was appointed chief
clerk of the weather bureau, in 1903, a
position which he held until 1913.

nected with the United States Casualty
