FREEHOLDERS
BLUNDER AGAIN
$4,000 DISCOVERED UNAC
COUNTED FOR

FLEMINGTON-T was a hur-
ried call meeting of the Board of Free
holders yesterday when it was discov-
cred there was an amount of $4,000
on the years budget which had not
been provided for It became necessary
to rush their credit at the bank ir
order to cover the amount.
This recalls a significant incident
in the elections last fall when there
was charge made by the Republicans
that the Freeholders had exceeded
their appropriations, contrary to law,
by $4,000. But on January 3, when
the Board of FreehoIders met far or
ganization account of which appears
on the last page of this issue) it de-.
veloped that instead of $4,000. ex--
ceeded in the appropriations, the sum-
was $4,000.
When effort was made to approve
this budget, the newly elected Free
holder, John j. Horn refused to votes
for it. He commended that, for one.
thing, the budget was incomplete. He.
was proven right by the discovery
yesterday that $4,000 had been over,
looked. And at the hurried call of the.
Board meeting yesterday Mr.. Horn
still refused to give his endorsement.
even with the discovery of the ad-.
ditional $4,000.
There is no doubt that such errors.
as the bungling of such sum is part.
ly due to the slip-shod method for.
merly allowed in the presentation of
bills. They were allowed to be pre-
sented at any time even during a.
Board meeting and SO were seldom
CHECKED up. This will be eliminated
in the future by a ruling (see item
on last page) made at the organi-
cation meeting January 3.
There seems no possible way to-
get the necessary work done in the.
county without funds. We want to-
give the Freeholders credit for sin
cerely doing their best. But no SEN
sible person can. overlook such bung-
ling business methods as some of
them have practiced. The public Isl
waiting with interest to learn if any
more 1ost accounts" are going to be
discovered to add to excess budget
as it now stands at $4,000.

Warning to Drivers
of Horse Drawn
Vehicles

HARRISBURG, Pa.-Horse drawn
vehicles and bicycles on the main
highways of Pennsylvania at night
will be required to display lights in
the future, as required by the law
effective July 1, 1919. The Pennsyl-
vania Department of State Police will
enforce the law rigidly, according to
Major Lynn G. Adams, the superin-
tendent.
Many reports are coming to the
State Police headquarters of smash
ups at night between automobiles and
horse drawn vehicles that do not carry
lights. In some instances lives have
been lost because the law was not OBJ
served. The State Police are deter
mined to put stop to this disregard
of life and property.
1t is prescribed on the statute
books that at least one white light
shall be visible for 200 feet from
front and rear of all vehicles moving
or standing on the public highways
between sunset and sunrise. Particu-
lar attention will be given by the
police to traffic regulations on the
trunk highways of the State.

QUARRY FIRE
LAST SUNDAY

LAMBERTVILLE-On last Sunday
night the quarry of the Delaware
River Quarry and Construction Co..
situated at Moore's Station, was
totally destroyed by fire. 1t seems
definitely established that the build
lngs were set fire by some one, either
with a personal grudge against indi-
viduals of the company or with malice
against the PUNT as an organization.
But the entire plant was destroyed
nevertheless.
There was no fire protection, and
when the Waterman discovered the
flames they were beyond control. A
fire extinguisher might have saved
the entire plant. The Waterman claim
ed the engine room seemed soaked in
oil, but many experiences in fires have
shown that engine rooms become so
soaked in oils during the regular work
of plant that when fire starts it finds
favorable conditions for destruction.
The buildings destroyed were the
boiler house, crushers and other build
ings used for storage and shops. The
plant was shut down only Saturday,
expecting to resume operations after
two months.
A call was sent in for the Lamb
ertville fire companies, and one COM
pany went to the scene. But the mud
was so deep the engine begged and
could not reach the flames.
Officials of the company said they
believed the fire was started by fire.
bugs, and communicated with the
Trenton Police Department for assist
ance in tracing the guilty parties. Two
bloodhounds were brought from Cam
den, and there were a half dozen men
detailed to look. for evidence. But the
bloodhounds followed a trail from the
burned buildings to the railroad sta
ton, around it, and then a short dis
lance down the road where they
stopped. 1t was believed that who
ever left the trail had left in an auto
mobile.
One of the bloodhounds used on the
scent saw service in France for four
years during the war. Both of them
are owned by the Camden police.
Robert A. Montgomery, president of
the company, said that no effort will
be made to rebuild the works at pres
ent. The loss is estimated at about
100000.

DR.. BARTON'S
DAILY LETTER
ABSOLUTELY" - NOT!
By DIR. William E. Barton.

Einstein has been among US, and
has left the impression Of a kindly
personality and a strong mind 1t
may be true that only Is persons
in the world understand his theory in
full: it may even be that he might
say what Hegel is alleged to have
said, "Only one man understands me,
and he does not" But the fundamen-
tai theses Of Einstein are not very
difficult to understand They are
two:
First, all motion is relative.
Secondly, the velocity of light is
Independent Of the velocity Of its
source.
The first we can believe as soon
as we understand what is meant by
it. The second bewilders US, but
when we know what Einstein is talk
ing about, we have no desire to con-
tradict him.
But when we come to the appli-
cation of these principles, we find
ourselves in deep water. We have
assented very chcerfulIy and with
out much thought to principles Wnicn
will keep US thinking for long time.
Before we are through, we are Won
dering whether parallel lines do not
meet, and whether anything IS as
we thought it was.
One thing we may as well learn,
which is that there are not 50 many
uses as some people suppose for the
word absolutely" That was abso-
lutely the worst dinner any man ever
