some discussion as to how far back tn,
t auditing should 60, but it was decided
that the amount to be expended should

the roads Manwaring & Cummins, Of
Philadelphia, were given the contract.
Mr.. Lynch was not satisfied with the
DISPOSE ion of the resolution to build a
4 road between Bordentown and Burling-
ton. 1t had been laid on the table and
Mr.. Lynch wanted roll call on the SUBJ
ject SO the director said the wish
should be granted.
This brought forth some discussion
and it was stated that the road would
cost anywhere from $l4O,O 900 to $3.50, 900
and this rather staggered the members
Mr.. Hilton favored building part of
the road, and Mr.. Russ said it looked to
him as if it would require bond issue
to build the road and he would not vote
for that proposition.
Mr.. Joyce thought it was up to Flor
ence to do little bonding on its own ac-
count He had never heard of Florence
bonding for roads and this would be a
good time to begin, to which Mr.. Lynch
retorted that Florence with large popu-
lation, had paid good share of taxes for
roads down in the pines where the popu-
lation was small.
The roll was called and it was decided,
hVTs ~ 10 10 Lot
lie on the table.
The Riverside street extension was
again taken up. Mr.. Bright said the
surveyor had completed his work and
made out what each property owner
ought to pay for the improvement, but |
the township committee had held up the !
surveyors bill and the property owners /
did not seem to know what to do about |
it. AS this matter first came up during
the incumbency of Budd NJ. Rigg as So
licitor, and as solicitor Davis had not !
had any time to look into it, the whole !
affair was laid over that he might give
it his attention.
Mr.. Jones presented a long preamble |
showing the necessity for providing Of
fees for several of the county officials,
and finally ended with resolution that
the director and engineer. with four
members of the board, be a committee !
to look over the premises and see what |
can be done in the matter, discover the
possible cost, and get as much informa-
ti0n on tho Ouhinot q r1occ;hlo
The county collector and auditor gave
notice that they will not pay any bills
on the day the board meets.
Columbus Grange sent communion
ton which caused much merriment. 1t
stated the Grange did not believe it fair
for one class of people to have all the
and special privileges in ex-
istence, and taking the question of a
farm demonstrators as basis, they re-
spectfully asked the board to appoint

tiers, politicians, manufacturers, city
people, and all who might apply.
The salary of the members of the
county board of elections was fixed at
$l75 each per year, the secretary to re-
ceive an additional one-third for his ser
vices.
The disputed bills of the Bordentown
board of election, which have been
brought up several times, were again
presented. 1t was stated that one of the
officers had done all he was required to,

so ordered. Mr.. Martin said the other
officer was not in the city on election
day, and solicitor Davis was instructed
to inquire into that statement.
