FIVE HUNDRED SEVENTY DOLLARS
RAISED FOR WAR SUFFERERS
BY RIVER EXCURSION.

The excursion given by the West st.
Paul Relief Committee last Sunday for
the benefit of the war sufferers, on the
Steamer Red Wing and barge, proved
to be a decided success, both from a
social and financial standpoint Three
hundred seventy dollars was raised by
means of the contest for queen, partici-
pated in by Miss Lillian Saperstein and
Miss Jessie Berenbaum. The former was
chosen queen having received seventeen
thousand votes, while the latter received
fourteen thousand About two hundred
dollars in addition to the above amount
was raised by ticket and refreshment
sales. Much credit for the success of
the affair should be given to the candi-
dates for queen, as we'll as to the officers,
G. Kaplan, chairman; H. Shadur, treas
urer, and d. Whitefield, secretary, all of
whom have worked Fundamentally for
the relief of the war sufferers since the
organization of the committee eleven
months ago. During the existence of
the COMMITTEES about seven thousand dol
lars have been collected, in large part
from tho residents of the West Side dis
trict.

Life Is A Funny Proposition

Man comes into this world with
out his consent and leaves it against
his will. During his stay on earth,
his time is spent in one continuous
round of contraries and misuhder-
standing by the balance of our
species. In his infancy he is an
angel; in his boyhood he is a devil;
in his manhood he is everything from
a man up in his duties to damn
fool. If he raises a family he is a
chump; if he raises small check he
is thief; and then the law raises
the devil with him. If he is poor
man, he is poor manager and has
no sense; if he is rich he is dishonest,
but considered smart. If he is in
politics, he is a CRATER and crook;
if he is out of politics, you can place
him as an undesirable citizen. If
he goes to church he is hypocrite,
if he stays away from church he is
sinner and damned. If he donates
to foreign missions he does it for
show; if he doesn't he is stingy and
tightwad. When he first comes
into the world everybody wants to
kiss him; before he goes out they
all want to kick him. If he dies young
there was a great future before him !;
# he lives to ripe old age he is
simply in the way to save funeral ex-
penses. Life is funny road but we
all like to travel it just the same
Exchange.

Freeholders Tell Holu
Bills Went Soaring
CONTINUED from page y

with $595,OO2.18 for the old Board.
Among the more significant COM
parisons are, in each case 1915 and
1916 respectively: bridges and cul-
verts, $4,000 and $4,000; public
buildings and grounds, $4,000 and
$3O,000; sundry payments, $4,000
and $4,000; comparison apparent
ly in favor of the old Board is that
of county roads, $4,000 and $4,000;
this is explained as follows: "The
previous administration took over
about 148 miles of roads, more than
half of which was hurried through
in the closing month of 1915, and the
maintenance of this large new mile
age explains the increase of this
item. :. The winter of 1915-1916
was very severe on the roads of Ber-
gen county, and, with the shortness
OF the labor market, it has been i'm
possible to push the repair work as
rapidly as the Board would DESIRE"
The other great department of the
county's business, that of it's money
accounts. These obligations, amount
ing to some $2,OOO,OOO were dis
tr.buted among about thirty bond
issues ranging from a few thousand
up to $442,000. Under the law GER
tain portions of these must be paid
off yearly, and Of the interest as it
came due. Under the law, in connec-
ton with the $4,000 road improve
ment issue, $82,6O5 is required to be
paid annually. The 1915 Board re-
fused to pay more than $4,000 of
this amount, so that the 1916 Board
was compelled to pay $145,874.20 for
the two years. But even with this
disparity the budget of this years
Board calls for a grand total Of ST.
034, 4,828.70 as compared with $751;
636.69 for last years Board. If, how
ever, from this grand total is deduct
ed the obligatory increases inherited
from the past: deficit Of 1915, $52,-
590.75; bond principal, $18,681.33;
bond interest, $15,176.03; and bond
sinking fund, $153,442.07, 1916's
grand total would be only 1904, 1882.
