railroad promises to follow up these
visits by doing all 1t can to correct bad
conditions-trimming trees, removing
fences and small buildings and, pos
sibly, altering the location of side
tracks. If this is done carefully over
the entire system it will mean much,
but at the same time, the Engineering
Record points out, the public should
remember it's own responsibility In the
matter. Probably 80 per cent OF all
grade crossing accidents are due to
failure to heed warnings signs, bells,

Atlantic City Convention Goes on

Atlantic City, N. j., July 11.-A de-
mand for an increase of from 10 to 40
per cent. over the scale in force last
year will be presented to the National
Association of Green Glass Bottle
Manufacturers, when they meet here
next month, according to statements
made by members of the Green Glass
Bottle Blowers Association, now in
session here.
One of the spokesmen for the blow
ers said: "For five years we have con-
sented to reductions in wages because
we were ready to help the manufac-
turers in their competition with auto
matte bottle blowing machines. To-
day we know that all products have
advanced In price, but wages have
been stationery.
"At this convention the sentiment
is unanimous that firm front should
be presented, and we intend to go as
far as we can in our demand, even to
strike, If necessary, but which we
hope to avoid.
"The years agreement expires the
last of this month, and the new wage
scale goes into effect August 1. Dem
mis- A. Hayes, who has always been
active in helping the blowers secure
reasonable concessions from the
manufacturers, knows our views, and
he has little hope of again compro-
missing the differences between the
employers and employees this year.

will not jibe with the advances re-

FREEHOLDERS
IN SESSION
July Meeting Held This
Morning.
At COURT HOUSE
Short Session of the Board Will
Consider Business For
Midsummer.

This morning the Board of Chosen
Freeholders will convene at the Court
House building, and transact the bu-
slness of the Board for the month of
July. 1t is quite likely that all of
the members will be present and Di-
rector J. Henry Bacon will be pres
ent to preside at the session.
The midsummer meeting of the
is not much business as a rule to
transact, and there is nothing indi-
Gated today of special Importance.
In years gone by the annual din
ner given by the officers of the Board
to the Board members has been in
July, but last year it was decided that
the function was more comfortable in
the fall, and it is likely that the din
ner will be served in October. In
September the Board has its meet
ing at the County Hospital for the
Insane.
The Board will learn today from
Collector Edward P. Bacon that the
state road department has turned ov-
er considerable amount of money
owing the county and thus relieving
situation that has been somewhat en-
barrassing to the Collector, who has
been paying out the county and state
share of state road improvement.
One matter that will have to be de-
cided today is the amount of money
that will have to be certified to the
County Board of Taxation to be raised
for county purposes other than the
amount of the budget agreed upon at
the annual meeting in January. This
will be considerable in order to take
care of road improvement that has
not been provided for in the bond is
sues.
All of the county officials will make
monthly reports giving the members
of the Board of Freeholders full in
formation of the various county en-
terprises.
A large number of bills approved
by the finance committee yesterday
will be upon the desk of the Clerk
awaiting the action of the Board to-
day. f7-A4s' m
