Defends FrecIloIders

DUNELLEN, Oct. 20-Speaking
befor, the Republican Club here last
night, County Solicitor Frederick f..
Richardson, outlined at length the
problems of the Board of Freehold
ers with which they were confronted
since taking control in 1918 and de-
fends their policy of administration
with considerable praise, declaring
that the county finances and road
problems were solved by the present
board.
From 1910 to 1917 inclusive"
Mr. Richardson said, "the previous
Board Of Freeholders had issued
bonds or incurred indebtedness
amounting to $2,274,000 with it's
bono limitation exceeded. During
1919 the freeholders by special leg
islative act borrowed money for
road ;. In 1920 the county was prac-
tically without funds and conse-
quentIy was in desperate straights"
TT speaker then went on to show
how the increase in the debt limit
by the present board enabled the
county fathers to emerge from their
difficulties. He also cited the re-
sponsibility of the county from f.
nancial standpoint as evidenced by
the demand for Middlesex county
in New York.
Mr.. Richards on read letter Of
cummeuda+4J from me company
auditing the county books as to the
efficient methods of the present coun-
ty bookkeeping system lie brought
under fire the Guestio of road con-
d;tions, 2eclaJ Ing that there has been
ap unparalleled demand fpr county
reads. IN view of that fact, Mr..
Richardson said the frseholders were
compelled TO ernbark on an extensive
road building program. T1e 3eIiSer
said that the building o. the roads
were guided by two principles First
he said was competition and next
the actual demand of the people as
to the type of road wanted. The
county patrol system in catching
and making immediate repairs is
saving much money to the county, he
said.
Mr. Richardson at the conclusion
of his talk believed that the free
holders should have the Jurisdiction
and discretion Of paying the county
clerks surrogate, sheriff's accounts,
because considerable increases are
noted in the last few years, blame
for which is apparently placed on the
freeholders.
The other speakers were State
Committeeman Frederick c. Schnei-
der and Assembly candidate John A.
Smith.

WOMAN TAKEN FROM

FOR PAPYRUS
Great Crowd at Belmont
Park for International Race
this Afternoon

NEW YORK, Oct. 90 (By The
Associated Press) when the sun
rose both Zev and Papyrus were
taken from their quarters and can
tered over the now drying UP track
for short distances. Steve Donoghue
had the English colts reins and
Sande was up on Zev.
Came then the venders-the push
cart men with their sandwiches and
beverages, others with pennants and
buttons and noise-ma.s ,ng devices,
many with souvenirs especially made
for the big event.
Mounted men of the constabulary
took their appointed posts along the
many roads that lead to the famous
course. Vast parking spaces for au-
| tomobiles were assigned.
Scores of ticket booths were set
up on the approaches to the grand
stand and the field. Some of these
had early business, quite a number
of thoroughbred lovers seeking
points of vantage along tho rail and
near the finish.
Many of these persons who pur-
chased tickets for the infield carried
soap boxes and folding chairs under
their arms, that they might, in the
event of a great crowd, stand upon
them and look over the heads of
those in front.

Will be Heard by Aldermen
Monday Night

The hearing of the two patrolmen
against whom charges have bee.
made. scheduled to be held last night
before the aldermanic committee Of
the whole, was postponed until s
o'clock next Monday night, owing
to the absence of three members of
the board.
Aldermen John e. Sofield, Albert

jamin Riedy were on hand ready to
go ahead with the hearing, as were
the two defendant officers, Joseph
Gaydos and Archibald Mason, to-
gether with the attorneys who will
function in this case including for
mer Senator Thomas Brown and as
sistant prosecutor. John Z. Toolan.
When the hour of S:45 arrived
and Alderman-at-Large Richard j.
Calvin and Aldermen Thomas Pat
ten and Robert A. MCGUIRE had fall
ed to put in an appearance, Alder
man Clark as vice president of the
council, called the meeting to order,
after which it was decided to ad-
jour- until Monday night so that all
of the members might be on hand.
The two officers are not being given
a hearing by the police committee
alone, but the committee as a whole
constitutes the trial committee.
Officer Mason is charged with being
while on duty and Officer
Gaydos is charged with being out of
the city without permission. The
board has been slow in disposing of
the cases of the two men, as the
charges were placed before 1t sew
eral weeks ago.

ANOTHER MOVE
MADE BY HAYES
Republican County Board
Makes Lengthy Reply to
Democratic Chairman
WILL. GO TO COURTS
Hayes Says His Representa-
tive is Refused to Ex-
anime Records

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 20:-A
court fight by the Democrats of the
county in order to gain access to
certain records of the Republican
Board of Freeholders is now prac-
tically assured.
Edmund A. Hayes, chairman of
the county Democratic committee,
declared early this morning that he
would send his auditor. John e.
Kruger, to the freeholders' office
later in the morning bearing a writ
ten request to the freeholders that
he be given full access to the county
boards books, including weight
slips showing the amount of stone
supplied the county for road work
by Andrew Keyes of Woodbridge,
and Conrad Sebolt, of New Bruns-
wick. Failure on the part of the
freeholders to permit this investi-
cation, Chairman Hayes said, would
result in his taking the matter in
court in an effort to force the dis
closing of the boards records to his
auditor.
1t was learned shortly before noon
that Kruger went to County Treas
urer L. William Hilker's Office this
morning bearing the letter from
Hayes. According to Hayes, Hilker
refused to accept the letter and or
dered Kruger from the office, de-
claring it was the county treasurer's
office and not the office of the Board
of Freeholders. This incident would
indicate that the courts will not be
resorted to.
Chairman Hayes today stated that
the reply of the freeholders to his
original letter was not mailed until
o'clock Thursday morning from Car
teret. This reply, Hayes declared,
was not forthcoming until he hau
made public the day before the con-
tents of the letter which he had
written to the freeholders one week
before.
