Baked on Road Scraping Bill
There was a lively discussion when
the bill of Surran Brothers for scrap
ing the roads was brought up for con-
s~ideration. This bill called for the
payment of SIS for teams and 81 for
a driver per day while the Board had
adopted a schedule of 40 cents and 80
cents an hour. The bill also contained
an item of double time or $32 for two
teams and So for a man for scraplng
the road on Sunday.
This item created a mild sensation
not to say real indignation. Supervls-
or Patrick said that he did not believe
that the roads should be scraped on
Sunday except when there was a
blockade on account of snow and 1t
certainly had not been showing this
summer.
After a heated discussion the bill
was returned for correction.
FORMER Mayor Grier appeared in be-
half Of a Greek who had purchased a
tarm in Penns Neck Township but
whose family of wife and children
we're sleeping in the barn because he
could not get a bungalow he had pur-
chased across the canal bridge. 1t
appears that the bungalow was load
ed on two farm wagons and when it
was attempted to take it over the
bridge it had stuck after doing some
damage. The lamp had been broken
among other things and then the bun
galow had been ordered off the bridge
and is now resting by the side of the
road. Mr.. Heron, who had halted the
moving made a plea for the Greek and
it was finally decided to grant him a
permit to cross the bridge if the caves
of the house were removed. The
Board decided that no moving of that
kind should be taken over a bridge
owned by the county unless a permit
had first been granted.
Will Fill in at Shapes Corner
A petition was presented by Mr.. Ga
venta that a portion of the Pointers
Auburn road at Shapes be va
Gated and a hearing set for October
18th.
At this point a petition signed by IS
farmers and ether property owners
was presented which as'sd that the
hole at these Corners be filed in.
The resolution to Yacate the road
was defeated and the petition was
granted provided that the work be
done in a proper way.
MI. Powers reported that the draw
of the Penns Neck Bridge had become
and considerable damage done
to the machinery, 1t will take about
two weeks to secure the material and
the bridge. In the meantime no
boats with masts can go up the river.
On motion of Mr.. Powers a desk will
be provided for the County Board OF
Elections.
A resolution closing a mile of the
road on sections 4 and 5 of the Mala-
ga-Penns Grove road from Courses
Landing to the Matthew Kelly farm
house was adopted.
1t was reported hat the County Col
lector had received $4,000, which is
Calem county's share of the State Aid

Commission.
The Jail Committee reported five
prisoners in the county Jail and II at
the Road Camp. The cost of main
tenance at the jail for the month was

the check was returned to the County
Collector. The Board agreed that it

without paying drivers for making de-
tours when repairs were necessary.
Will Inspect State Roads
The recommendation made by the
Road Committee that the Board make
a tour of the state roads and the Lin
coin highway was on motion of Mr..
Borton adopted. The trip will take
two days and will be made on the goth
and 21st of September. The Board,
with the clerk and the newspaper men,
will make the tour going first to Phil
adelphia when the Lincoln highway
will be taken to Newark. The night
will be spent at Lake Hopatcong and
on the second day the party will re-
turn by way of Summerville and Tren-
ton. This tour will be made in place
of the usual tour of the county roads
and it is believed will be profitable as
showing the different kinds of perma-
nent roads being built and the condi-
ton of roads in general.
