relieve the taxpayers of Salem Coun-
ty from the rather excessive rates
that are being charged by the jitney
men of Salem City for business of the
offices, the Board of Chosen Freehold
ers at the meeting on Wednesday
voted to purchase a Ford touring car
for the use of Sheriff Mifflin and his
assistants.
"For some little time we have been
aware that the jitney bills for the
Sheriff's department were exceedingly
high said a member of the Board in
discussing the matter, "and the bills
for the months OF January and Feb
raury have forced us to action Re-
ferring to a list of the amounts that
mad been paid various jitney drivers,
it was found that for the two months
it had cost the county in excess of
$3.50, or at the rate of about $50 per
week. One item that called for much
comment was a price of $500 for each
of two trips to Penns Grove.
Sheriff Mifflin was called into con-
sultation with the Board and his
views secured on whether or not it
would be wise to purchase a car for
the use of his department. The
Sheriff asked the members to recall
that some months after he went into
office he suggested the purchase of a
machine as a saving to the county's
finances but the Freeholders took no
action so he considered that they were
content to allow matters to run along
as they had previous to his term. The

ton but that a great sum would be
saved, for he alleged that no matter
how hard you operate a car and what
repairs you are bound to have, you
would not reach the total of the jit-
ney accounts. 81 know that 81 is
high for a trip to Penns Grove and
back, but the law required me to go
and go quickly and l had to get a ma
chine, consequently was forced to APP
prove the bill for the service was
rendered"
A motion was made by Mr.. Gaventa
that a Ford touring car be purchased
for the Sheriff's office but when the
question was called for, there was a
discussion of whether or not it should
be an enclosed one. The result was
that the motion was withdrawn.
Again at the afternoon session Mr..
Reeves moved for a Ford Sedan but
thai was defeated by an overwhelming
vote, some members disliking, as they
expressed themselves to having prison
ers ride around as well as the members
of the Board.
1t was noted that quite a few of the
Freeholders came down to Salem in
Ford Sedans.
1t was finally ordered that the Public
Building Committee secure a Ford
touring car at a price of $575. without
the luXuries, self-starter and all wealth

Mr.. Eliot said that young women
are meeting young men in what he
termed Il "whoozy condition." at So

by patrons of good social standing.
The fact that these young women do
not object to meeting men in this
