CONTRACT AWARDED FOR
MULLICA RIVER BRIDGE

After many months of delay the
contract for the construction of a
new bridge over the Mullica River
has been approved and awarded by
the Boards of Freeholders of both
Atlantic and Burlington counties and
the work will begin Immediately,
The contract price for the improve
ment is $4,000, one-half of which
is to be borne by each county.
The contract was awarded to the
Lupfer- Remick Company, of Buffalo,
by the Atlantic County Board two
months ago and this was confirm
ed by the Burlington County authori-
ties last month; the latter Board
would not give their final assent to
the proposition until Atlantic County
would agree that the work would not
proceed until the bond issue neces-
sary for it had been foated by them
It is understood that this has been
done and the construction of the
bridge will now begin.
For several years the bridge over
the Mullica River has been in a very
dangerous condition and time after
time the Atlantic Board has urged
Burlington County to agree to stant
the expense of repairing it equally
The Burlington Board pleaded nc
money and would not take any steps
until threatened by a law suit by
Burlington taxpayers.

NOT MEANT FOR THE POCKET
First watches" May Have Kept
Good Time, but Were of Most In
convenient Size.

At first the watch was about the
size of a dessert plate. 1t had
weights and was used as a "pocket
clock" The earliest known use of
the modern names occurs in the rec
ord of 1852, which mentions that Ed
ward vi had zone larum or watch of
iron, the case being likewise Of gilt
edge, with %plummets of lead"
The first watches may readily be
supposed to have been of rude execu-
ton. The first great improvement,
the substitution of springs for
weights, was in 1850. The earliest
springs were not coiled, but only
straight pieces of lead.
Early watches had only one hand
and. being wound up twice a day, they
could not be expected to keep time
nearer than fifteen or twenty min
utes in the twelve hours. The dials
we're of silver or brass. The cases
had no crystals, but opened at the
back and front and were four or five
inches in diameter.
A plain watch cost the equivalent
of 1900 in our currency, and, after
one was ordered, it took a year to
make it.

TO MAKE TEST BORINGS
FOR ABSECON BOULEVARD

That the Board of Freeholders are
expecting to build the Atlantic City
Absecon Boulevard within the next
year was made evident when the
Board at their regular monthly meet
ing on Wednesday received bids and
awarded the contract to the Artesian
Well Drilling Company upon their
bid of rs cents per foot to make test
borings on the lower or s%outherly
route of the proposed road.
The purpose of the test borings
is to determine the depth to which
it will be necessary to drive pilings
and to fill in on the meadows. When
this preliminary work has been COM
pleted the final plans and specifica-
lions can then be made by County
Engineer Nelson and the contract
awarded as soon as the Board deter
mines to proceed with the undertake
ing.
1t is believed that the work will
not be done until the county has the
assurance that the State will furnish
the aid of 40 per cent. on the roads
and 20 per cent. on the bridges.
The Board decided to take over as
county road that portion of Phila-
delphia avenue between Campo and
Agassiz avenues, which connects two
county roads and improve it. The
strip is $500 feet long and is largely
used by automobiles on their way to
Atlantic City. This road is located in
Egg Harbor City.
Plans and specifications for the
construction of three small bridges
on the Wheat road between Harmon
ton and Buena were approved on the
recommendation of the Bridge Com
mittee and it was ordered that bids
be received at the next meeting.
The plans and specifications for a
concrete culvert on Beurger street,
Egg Harbor City, were also approved
and bids will be received at the next
meeting.
In a petition a number of resi-
dents of Somers Point requested that
the plans of the Somers Point-Long-
port Boulevard be changed so that
the bridge over Bass Harbor be made
a drawbridge instead of a straight
span. The matter was referred to
the Bridge Committee to report at the
next meeting.
After several years of inaction the
Board decided to erect a ireproof
garage and ice house combined at
Mays Landing for the use of the
county officials and the contract for
the operation was awarded to Will
liam Lear on his bid of 1892, which
was the lowest received.
1t was decided to start the meet
ings hereafter at 10 o'clock in the
morning instead of II o'clock, as
heretofore.

is HIGHEST COURT
Jewish Tribunal Whose Decisions Are
Final.

Probably few Londoners are aware
of the existence of a Jewish court in
their midst which is known as the
Beth Din," or the House of Judge
ment.. 1t is situated just off Aid
gate, close to the Great synagogue
in the heart of Hebrew London, and
is the highest religious, as well as
civil, court of the Jews. A raised
bench runs along n side of the
court; in the center are seats of the
judges and the coure officials. The
head judge, the chief rabbi, has a
seat in the exact center, with the as
sistant judges on either side of him.
The latter always include an expert
English lawyer and the head of the
misunderstanding licensed butchers,
who may only kill cattle as prescrib-
1t is impossible, owing to the ethics
of the Jewish religion, for many cases
to be heard in the ordinary police or
county court. Cases dealing with
Jewish ritual, marriage laws, ETC., are
adjudicated by the Beth Din, and it
rarely occurs that the parties con-
cerned are dissatisfied with the decis-
ions given in this court. No higher
tribunal can be approached for final
justice, as the decree of the Beth Din
is %purported to be indisputable.
It is very interesting to note that
the proceedings of this Jewish court
are held Sin camera" no newspaper
reports are permitted, neither are the
public allowed to be present during
the sittings.
Though the Beth Din has no official
recognition from the state, its judg-
ments have more than once been con-
frmed in the ordinary courts. Some
time ago a litigant, dissatisfied with
the judgment given against him at
the Ghetto court, took his case be-
fore Judge Bacon at Whitechapel
county court. The chief rabbi offer
ed to attend and explain the reasons
of his decision, but his honor, with
out requiring his presence, upheld the
verdict given by the Beth Din.

CARRIER.

We hardly know what TO say about
the weather last week, but this We do
know, that there was great leak
somewhere, as the Roark bottom was
full and all the little creekletS that help
to make up the big creek were over
loaded with water. And now our
creekland farmers are busy replacing
their watar gaps and putting in new
fence to protect their corn fields.
Much Of the corn has been destroyed
and washed away, while on the ridges
the corn is blown topsy-iurvy, but has
a chance to straighten up some. The
peach crop came to quick ending, as
the wet weather spoiled much OF the
fruit, but all the same never before
was there so much fruit canned as this
fall, as the women folks have been
doing their best to care for all thai
could be saved.
