Fatal Auto Accident

There was an accident in Burl ington
on Saturday evening, which resulted
in the death of one person and an
other was hurt very badly. A carriage
containing Mrs. Howard Woolman
and her sister, Miss Ruth Keeler, was
going out High street in that city
when an automobile, driven by Will
liam Bishop, of Florence, struck it in
the rear, and completely wrecked it.
Mrs. Woolman was found conscious,
but her sister was suffering with frac-
tured skull and could not speak. Both
women were hurried to the city emer-
gency hospital, but it was too late to
aid her and her death occurred on
Sunday morning.
The two women had been into Bur
lington and were driving to their home
on the outskirts of the city. In the
automobile were Bishop and Benja-
min F. Wilson. They say they did
not see the wagon until they were
right on it. They were attempting to
turn to the left to avoidlanother auto
mobile that was in front of them and
were confronted by another machine
coming toward them. In order to avoid
a collision Bishop steered over to the
trolley track, bnt he could not avoid
collision with the wagon. His auto
plunged into ditch and struck a tee-
phone pole, wrecking the machine.
Both men were badly bruised A Ian
tern was found in the wreckage of the
wagon, but whether it was lighted and
hanging in the proper place so that
the autoists could see it has not been
made clear.
The drivers of the machine gave
themselves up, but were released in
the custody Of their parents to await
the action of the coroner, who will
make thorough investigation of the
case. The state automobile depart
ment is also looking into the case.
Bishop came to Mount Holly yester.
Jay and gave 81, 900 bail to appear on
any charge that may be preferred
against him.

Random Remarks

Last Saturday week an inspector
from the state motor department came
to Mount Holly and found several au-
.omoDiies standing on High street,
without lights displayed as the law re.
quires. He made a report, and the
owners OF the machines were notified
that they must be more careful in the
future. II the inspector had been here
last Saturday night-possibly he was

A New C.nnnfv Clerk

William H. Reeves took the oath O.
Office as clerk of the county of Bur
lIngton before Judge Wells, on Friday
and gave bond for 5000 with the
National Surety Company as surety
Lawrence q. Mingin was sworn in as
deputy clerk.
The Judge compIimented the clerk
/ on being the choice of the people for
the principal position and also on his
selection of deputy. Judge Wells
said Mr.. Mingin mad been an excep.
tionally efficient official, and he was
pleased to know that he would con-
tinue to serve the county.
Mr.. Reeves took charge of the office
on Saturday and has retained the
present Office force He has decided
not to appoint search clerk, and in
this we think he has taken very
wise step. The reports from the sever
al counties of the state on this subject,
as published in THE NEWS last week,
show that the law does not require the
county clerk to make searches and
there is not any reason why that off,
cial should take something on his
shoulders to add responsibility and
possible risk to his office

School Money Withheld

The Board of Education of the
township of North Hanover has been
having controversy wit h county su-
perintendent Kaser and the State Com
missioner of Education over the with
holding of money from that township
The county superintendent has been
trying to have North Hanover get
improved school facilities but the
Board of Education has gone on the
principle that what was good enough
for grandfather is good enough for the
present generation. So Mr.. Kaser re-
ported the case to the State Com
missioner and the money that should
have gone to North Hanover was kept
from that township. Aggrieved at
this action the Board of Education ap-
pealed to the State Board of Educa-
ton. That body rendered the follow
ing decision:
This matter comes before this
Board in somewhat irregular manner
but, the Board of Education of North
Hanover township having applied
directly to this Board for a review of
the action of the County Superintend-
ent of Burlington county and the
Commissioner of Education in with
holding the state school moneys from
the said Board, and it appearing that
the best interests of the schools in
North Hanover township made
prompt action in the matter desirable,
hearing was granted by this Board at
which the members of the North Han
over Board appeared, and were heard
in support of their application, and the
| County Superintendent and the State
Inspector of Buildings also appeared
and were heard.
| "On the facts presented to us in the
manner above stated, we find that the
Board of Education of North Hanover
Township has failed to comply with
the law and with the orders and re-
quirements of the County Superin-
tendent with respect to the condition
of the school building, and the equip
ment thereof, in the township, includ-
ing the partition in the Jacobstown
school, the condition OF the seats in the
Arneytown school, and other items
which were repeatedly called to the at
tention of the said Board of Education
} of North Hanover township by the
County Superintendent
I'm our opinion the failure of the
said Board to comply with the orders
of the County Superintendent directly
: tends to impair the efficiency of the
schools OF the township. 1t is suggest
ed to the said Board that it is its duty
to comply with the requirements of
the law and the rules and orders of the
Department of Education with respect
to school buildings and equipment and
to carry out the directions of the Coun-
ty Superintendent, if the district is to
receive state funds for it's schools. The
D withholding of the school moneys by
e the County Superintendent and the
Commissioner of Education is appov-
ed"
The Mount Holly news., 1919-12-16
Want Higher Paw

Like employees all over this country,
the school teachers think, probably
with some justification, that they
should receive more money for their
services The Palmyra teachers put in
an application on this score which was
considered at meeting of the Board
OF Education last week. The petition
OF the teachers asked for a minimum
salary OF 81, 200 in the high school and
one teacher requested a raise of $500,
making her salary $1,000 The gram
mar school teachers asked for a fat
raise of 500 each for the year.
After talking the matter over the
Board of Education decided to offer
the teachers an increase of ten per
cent. for the remaining half of the
year, making total of fifteen per
cent, the other raise having been
granted earlier in the year. This does
not seem to be acceptable to the petit
toner's and there is now a complicated
situation While teachers are getting
good prices in many places, it is ques-
tionable whether those who resign
could get as good places, in This coun-
ty at least, as they are now occupying.
The tax rate in all the municipalities
is extremely high, and the school au-
thorities hesitate about adding any
more to the present burden OF the tax
payers.
1t is said there may be a meeting at
which the teachers, the Board of Edu-
cation and the parents of the students
will attend and discuss the situation
and see if some solution cannot be
reached. The contracts under which
the teachers are operating contain a
clause which allow them or the Board
of Education to terminate the term of
service on thirty days notice. There
have been rumOrs that unless the de-
sires of the teachers were met the lat
ter would strike, but that is thought to
be unlikely. 1t is more possible that
the thirty days notice will be taken
advantage of. There are fears that the
schools will not open after the Christ
mas holidays. The supervising princi-
pal has advanced the opinion that it
would be better to increase the pay of
those already working than to engage
new teachers at higher salary and
pay them an increase, even though il
be lower than the present corps asks
for.
