A Halt ON Road Building

A Halt on Road Building
The Board Of Freeholders held regu-
lar meeting in the court house, Wednes-
day, with all the members present.
Bills had the right of way and several
were presented and ordered paid. A bill
OF county engineer Logan, for work done
in connection with road that is to be
built between Mile Hollow, Bordentown,
and Yardville, for $164, caused Mr.. Hill
ton to inquire what the duties of the
road engineer are. The rule on this
point was read and then Mr.. Hilton
wanted to know whether, under thai
rule. the Board would be justified in
paying this BILL
Solicitor Davis was asked for an opin-
ion on the subject and he said the engi
neer was directed to have drawings,
plans and specifications made on this
work, and to have them at this meeting
The time given to do this work was very
short and Mr.. Davis said he knew the
engineer had been very busy with other
work and II he had not engaged help he |
would not have been able to comply |
with the directions TO report at this meet
ing. Mr.. Davis said he considered the
bill just one. and 1t was ordered paid
After this had been settled Mr.. Logan
said he had engaged help In order that
he might comply with the directions OF
the Board. He also stated that in II
cases OF this kind the state will reimburse
the county to the extent OF 40 per cent.
Of the cost Of the work.
A bill Of E. II. McAllister, of Moores-
town. which had been hanging fire for
some time. was presented. 1t is claim
for s166. for damage done to oils and
other goods In the claimants garage ct
Moorestown. The outlets and pipes on
the street near the garage had become
stopped and the rain water overlooked
into the cellar. Solicitor Davis said
there was doubt a. 70 the county's IL
ability In this case, but he thought some
amount should be paid. He called at
tention TO the fact that the bill was orig
inally smaller and that it had grown
ia since the last meeting Of the Board.

Tered Mr. McAllistsr in payment OF his
