IS OLD DEBT
STILL VALID?
II ~
County to Apply to Attorney
General for Ruling in Case
of 1887

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 13.-
Middlesex county representatives will
make application to Attorney Cen
eral McCrann for an opinion to see
IL q debt of 1897 is still valid against
the county. In 1887 the United States
congress passed a bill for an appro-
priation of 1000, 900 to be divided
among the states of the Union, who
in turn were to distribute the money
to their counties. This money was
loaned out to farmers on mortgages,
and the present board of freehold
ers have no record that he money
loaned GU was ever paid back to the
county.

tied Walter II. Darby, Commission
er of Municipal Accounts at Tren-

an opinion on the matter from the
attorney general. This item has
proven a stumbling block to h

statements, and the commissioner OF

the amount be added in bonded in

Under the act of 1887 Middlesex
county originally received s~62,193.S4,
but the formation of Mercer county
resulted in this county's total being
cut to s~50,593.76.
The county board has located rec
ords showing that the money was
received, and that mortgages were
cancelled. Further records show
that the money was used in fixing
up the county Jail and county court
house.
= TubePcular Cases
While in Trenton yesterday the
county representatives took up the
matter of collecting back money
from the state in connection with
tubercular patients. Under the law
of 1916, which the attorney general
states still holds good, the county
receives So for each patient cared
for, The county pays SIS a week at
White Haven sanitarium and SIG a
week at the Bonnie Burn institution.
The county representatives were of
the belief, that in accordance with
the passage of recent laws, the
states share in connection with
these patients would be So per week.
