ATTORNEY GENERAL
AND HIS ASSISTANT
DIFFER IN RULING

Phoenix-Attorney General w.
]. Galbraith and his assistant,
Geo. R. Hill, differ as to how the
ten per cent reserve fund of the
general county levy for the main
tenance of schools shall be esti-
mated, question over which
there has been considerable con-
tention in several counties of the
State.
Mr.. Hill gave it as his opinion
that the reserve fund should be
computed on the total estimated
cost of maintaining all public
schools in the, county for the en-
suing year.
Attorney General Galbraith in
his opinion, rendered later, holds
that the reserve fund IS not ten
per cent of the total, including
the. general and special levies,
but is ten per cent of the general
levy exclusive of special levies.

Why get excited about money
lost by the United States on trade
ships? During the war Pershing
asked the nation to bridge the
Atlantic with commerce vessels
and it was done. No one expect
ed it to be a paying proposition,
but in one way it did pay--it
made possible the winning of the
war, and that was what America
entered the war to do. Why
kick now? The War and Navy
Department didn't declare any
money declare any money divi-
dends, either.

WATER TOWER
DESTROYED BY FIRE

ler were awakened (those who
were asleep by the fire whistle.
1t was the water tank structure
on fire. The fire department re-
sponded Immediately and did
good work, putting out the fire
in short order, but when the fire
started to climb up the frame
structure, the water pressure
was so weak that the stream of
water refused to reach the top.
The fire boys saw at once that it
was no use to use the hose, as it
was wasting water and time.

SPRAYING OF VEGETABLES

Farmers should spray their
vegetables, such as cucumbers.
beans, melons, etc., to kill the
insects that are working on the
leaves. The proper way to spray
Is to get the solution on the un-
der side of the leaves, as it does
no good except where it touches
the insect.
One Of the best solutions to use
Is Black Leaf Paste. Use one
half tablespoonful to a gallon OF
water.

Council Meeting

The Mayor and Council met in adj
iourned session on Wednesday night,
but very little business was transacted
outside of paying current bills.
The object of the meeting was to
consider and if possible pass the hre
department ordinance, but only three
members put in an appearance,
Messrs. Fahy, Kidd and Gillison, and
four votes are required to pass an
ordinance. The Borough pays three
hfths of the 500 annual rental OF the
old fire house on Penn Street, while
the splendid new quarters in the Bor-
ough hall are unoccupied. Besides
there is no use considering the pur-
chase of new apparatus until a depart
ment organization is effected under
Borough rule. ,,..
The Council is evenly divided over
the matter. Three do not favor the
ordinance as it stands, their principal
objection being that it requires the
membership of the volunteer depart
ment to be taken in as a whole.
Lights were ordered placed at DEM
ing Avenue, Walnut Street and Wills
Street, and one on Union Street.
Another meeting will be held on
Monday night.

More Roads
To Be Financed
Concrete For Salem-W OOdstOwn
Road. Estimated Cost
S4OO, 900

Vii liz u LOO WIN III
County Board of Freeholders held a
building of a hard surface road from
Woodstown to Salem which is a sec
ton Of Route 6 in the State Highway
System. If the offer is approved by
the State Highway Commission it is
expected to begin work in 1921 by is
suing bonds as work is done to be re-
imbursed by the State in 1922. There
will be small cost for grading as this
section of ten miles was built as
County Gravel Road some years ago
and is in fair condition, but while the
chance of getting "git a plenty" is the
reason for immediate action.
The estimated cost is 100000,
which can be paid for by issuing
bonds as work is done. The County
will have to bear the cost of interest
until reimbursement is made by the
State Highway Commission in 1922 or
later.
The special meeting was held to
pass on the resolution so it could be
presented to the State Highway Com
mission on Wednesday of this week.
Their action has not been announced.
Before the resolution was acted up
on there was a free discussion of the
matter by the Freeholders. They all
seem to be of one opinion that it
might be two or even three years before
the road in question is improved I'M
less the County takes advantage OF
the Reimbursement Act.
Freebooter Pancoast, of L. A. Greek
Township, said he was heartily IN
favor of the action taken on the
S~hirley-Pole Tavern road and the Sa-
lem-Woodstown road, but he thought
the Board should not overlook the
smaller proposition such as the pres
ent county roads that r now showing
considerable wear and will have to be
repaired to stand the present day
travel.
Assistant Engineer Sparks stated
that it had been limited that possibly
some aid could be secured from the
Federal Government for the reim-
bursement of maintenance charges on
roads that have been subjected to such
heavy travel during the val. This
he said, would apply in this County to
the Pedricktown road, the Pedrlck-
town-Nortonville road and possibly
Penns Gr~ove-Salem road. Mr.. Sparks
declared that he knew such a move
was about to be made and if it became
necessary he would look after Salem
County's interests during the absence
of Engineer Keasbey who is now on
a vacation in Florida.
During the war there was consider
able travel over some of the roads OF
Salem County by government trucks,
some of which were pretty heavily
loaded and the roads suffered. For
instance during the building of the
Delaware General Ordnance Depot at
Perkintown when the highways in that
section were much used. There vas
also heavy travel by the government
trucks in going from the powder
plants through Pennsville and Salem
to the reservation at Amatol, Atlantic
County. Many of our readers will re-
call how these vehicles went thunder
ing through our streets during the
day and night, shaking homes for
several squares.
The Board associated itself with the
Association of Board of Chosen Free
holders of New Jersey and paid the
annual dues of fifty dollars. Director
Gray was agreed upon to represent
the Salem County Board in all mat
tiers that might come before the State
body.
