RARITAN TOWNSHIP HAS z
RECORDERS, NO MARSHALS

BY Special Corresponds ent.
METUCHEN, Jan. 5-There are
two recorders in Raritan township
at the present time but nary a con-
stable or marshal. One recorder,
Chris Doll. a Republican. was re-
Gently appointed at a salary of $500
a year. while Alexander Bors, a
Democrat. was appointed by the
Democratic township committee the
latter part of December. but there
are no constables or marshals to ar
rest prisoners to be brought before
the recorders. and the people are
talking for some kind of protection.
Township Attorney William, A.
Spencer states that the township
cannot have a marshal until the
population reaches the $500 marl1r
and in 1915 the census showed thst'
the population was 4.02S. A short
time ago Fred Petit was made a
special officer. but there was no pay
attached to the position. and Harry
Cahrs who has been acting as
marshal. has become inactive.
The townspeopie believe that in
accordance with the suggestion of
Prosecutor Joseph E. Stricken, all
the towns should have some kind of
protection. The Democratic mem
bers of the committee last year
promised. If reelected. they would
appoint three motorcycle men. but
as they were defeated. no action has
been taken.
