Along The Shore

Barnegat is agitating the subject of
public boat-landing. The land which is
now used as public dock is covered by
deeds by private parties, and in spite of
old sayings that because it has been used
for SO many years by the publici it belongs
to the public, it can at any time be re
claimed by the rightful owners whose
deeds cover it. When the Hunting and
Fishing Club bought all the water front
they offered to sell 100 or 200 feet and
give as much more for public landing,
but our people were so little interested
that they would not listen to any prop
osition they offered. Residents feel that
with the opening of the Manasquan
canal there will be a waterway from
New York to Atlantic City through
which boats will be continually passing
and Barnegat residents feel that these
boats will stop there If good landing is
offered to them.
| The first inn located at Barnegat was
established in 1920 by David Oliphant.
which was replaced some years later by
second public house built by Daniel
Crammer, and this was not torn down
until several years ago. The well-re-
membered old public house of Eli Collins
was occasionally patronized seventy or
eighty years ago by distinguished visi-
tors, among whom was the noted Prince
Murat, with quite train of servants.
Napoleon's brother, Joseph Bonaparte,
was also visitor at this old inn. This
house ceased to be used as an inn about
the time of the civil war. Since then il
has been a private dwelling, and stands
today, in good condition, west Of Carriers
blacksmith shop, on the south side Of
the road.
i The Ocean county board of freeholders
on Tuesday, approved the specifications
for building stone road on Main street

A Timely Warning.

The State Department of Health hal
received a Communication from this
health commissioner of New York city
saying that many children are leaving
that city to escape exposure to infantil'
paralysis which is now prevalent in New
York and Brooklyn. While the com
missioner states that every effort will bt
made to prevent recognized cases from
leaving the city, it is quite probable thai
families in which there are persons al
ready infected may come to New Jersey
at this time. Infection is also carried by
persons who have been in contact with
patients, but who are not themselves ILL
In view of this situation, the State
Department of Health desires to warn
all parents to keep their children away
from persons who may be infected with
infantile paralysis or who may be carriers
OF the disease. During the outbreak it
is best to keep children at home and not
permit them to associate with other
children, and especially to keep them
away from moving picture shows or
other gatherings where children are
present. In case child suffers from
gastro-intestinal disturbances it is ad-
visabie to isolate the child and call a
physician at once, as this is usually the
way an attack of infantile paralysis be-
gins.
The United States Public Health Ser
vice adds warning and explains that
the disease is by no means peculiar to
infants, but attacks adults with serious
and often fatal consequences. Hot dry
weather is extremely favorable to its
spread, it is declared, and the germ is
[acile in finding vehicles to convey it
from infected persons to we'll ones.
One of the principal manifestations of
The disease is the presence OF nose and
mouth secretions, and this substance
bearing highly fertile germs, readily is
unless great care is taken
N using rigorous preventive measures.
Handkerchiefs used by patients, or those
attending them, should either be burned
Or disinfected. Sanitary conditions of
The premises of which patients are in
mates should be as perfect as possible.
The health authorities explain that
mild attacks are dangerous to the COM
nunity because the disease may pass
readily and cause the most aggravated
cases. Furthermore, it may be stated,
entirely well persons may convey the
germs without themselves being affect
ed. For this reason the service warns
where infantiIe paralysis
is existant to discontinue all public
and il epidemic, threatens
to close churches and Sunday schools, as
well as theatres and other popular re-
sorts.
Flies carry infantile paralysis germs,
so windows and doors should be screened
and all food carefully protected. The
service says that the old theory that in
fantile paralysis was caused by the bite
of the stable fly has not been proved,
but that flies and other insects carry the
germs through contact.

Judge Lippincott Decides.

! Judge Lippincott rendered his decision
on Thursdays in the review of the pro
ceedings under which Charles E. Joyce
OF Vlncentown, was sentenced to Jail
The counsel for the defendant asked to
have the conviction set aside for four
reasons. First, that the recorder was
disqualified to sit on the trial of tbe case
because he had expressed an opinion Of
the guilt of the defendant prior to the
trial. Judge Lippineott decided that il
any objection or challenge was to be
made on that ground it should have
been made previous to the trial, and as
! that course was not taken the objection
could not prevail here.
| The second reason was that none OF
the proceedings set out an offence as de-
fined in the statute under which con-
viction was secured. 1t was contended
that neither in the complaint nor in any
part Of the proceedings did it appear
that the defendant was operating an
automobile on public street or high
way, the claim being that High street,
Mount Holly, was not apublic highway
Judge Lippincott reviewed the testi-
mony on this point and his decision was
that High street is a public highway
within the contemplation of the law.
Another reason for setting aside the
conviction was that the name Mount
Holly was used and that there is no
such place. To this contention Judge
called attention to the fact
that the complaint had also mentioned
that the offence had been committed in
township, so that objec-
tion did not hold.
The last reason set up was that the |
record does not set forth that the re-
,order finds the defendant guilty of the
oifence charged or Of any other offence" !
After reciting the contents Of the con-
giction as presented by the recorder
Judge Lippincott said: 81 am of the
opinion that the recorder, under this
wording of the conviction, has found the
defendant guilty of the offence charged |
under the statute. l find no illegality
IN the proceedings and conviction
brought before me, aud they are there
Tor affirmed"
The case will be appealed to the SUI
preme court.

Random Remarks.

The appointment of an outsider to be
County Superintendent Of Schools for
Burlington county does not sit well with
our people, and there has been much
criticism-just and deserved = heaped
upon the head of Commissioner Kendall
for giving the impression that there was
no one in this county qualified for the
position. That there was no Democrat
who could take the office is about GER
tain, and that is probably the milk in
the cocoanut." 1t has been said there
was feeling in the State Board OF Edu.
cation that Burlington county did not
have the proper respect for that body
1t is quite certain that nothing has beer
done in the last appointment to create
especial respect.
