friends are planning to accompany tbe
gospel team to Mount Holly. All are
cordially invited to attend this service.
At the organization meeting of the
township committee it was decided
that inspection of streets or other work
that has heretofore been looked after
by member of the committee must
be cared for by some one on the out
side. 1t has been the custom to have
those in charge of various departments
to look after work being done that it
vas supposed they were, by virtue of
their Office, bound to perform. When
the road was built ON Madison avenue,
Howard Z. Alcott, q member Of the
committee, was chosen to act as in
spector and the amount that was paid
him for his work was well spent for he
looked after the contractor and COM
PEELED many things to be done that
were being neglected. There is an
overseer of the roads, and il is held
that he should, for the salary that
is paid him, do much that is being
paid for in another manner. In the
matter of oiling the streets a member
of the committee received extra pay
for acting as overseer and laborer, and
there are many who hold that the over
seer of the roads should have done
this work. But unless we are mistaken
the contractor paid for the help giver
him by the township committeeman
The committee should look into thi
proposition and see that the contracto
does the work with the aid of the over
! seer of the roads, or whether the latte
I;is called upon to do the laborer's worl
connected with ths job.
