FEES FOR SALARIED OFFICIALS
TURNED DOWN AT MEETING
OF FREEHOLDERS

Bills aggregating about 1910 from
recorders magistrates and policemen,
for fees in criminal cases, were re-
fused payment by the Board of Free
holders, in weekly session after Sol
icitor Peacock announced that a law
passed by the legislature prohibits
the allowance of any compensation
to officials who receive salary.
Such fees are allowed to con-
stable and any other officers who do
not get stated salary but to no
others an then the bills must be APP
proved by the clerk of the grand
jury or by the prosecutor of the
pleas.
After short discussion, in which
it was stated that there had been
considerable dispute about these
charges the bills were referred to
the solicitor, prosecutor and auditor
for report at the next meeting of
the freeholders.
The Edgewater Park township
committee sent communication
asking the freeholders to cooperate
in the laying of asphaltum paving
in that township through which the
county is doing road work. The
committee desires to do paving out
side the county road at intersections
of streets between Beverly and
Coopertown and will pay the cost
but desires the work to be done
simultaneously with that on the
main highway. The request was
granted.
On motion of Director of Roads
Stout the board accepted an invita-
ton from Burlington officials to par
ticipate in the big firemen's parade
to be held in that city next Saturday
afternoon. The committee in charge
had extended the invitation to the
freeholders and other county Off
cials.

JUDGE LLOYD SAYS
LOTTERY MUST STOP

Lottery and ali forms Of games Of
chance must stop in Burlington
county, no matter what the object
may be, said Justice Frank T. Lloyd
when he charged the Grand Jury
at the opening of the October Court
in Mt. Holly on Tuesday. He did not
mention specific cases, but said that
there has been called to his atten-
ton wholesale violation of the law
governing gambling and he admon-
ished the Grand Jury that the var
ious forms of lottery connected with
carnivals, fairs and such promotions
are illegal and punishable by inn
prisonment. He said he understood
that the promoters of such affairs
were inspired by charitable motives
without any thought of personal
gain, but the law made no distinc-
ton in such cases and people must
be made to understand that they
will not me permitted to violate the
constitution and the law
Judge Lloyd said that under any
and all conditions this form OF
gambling is considered dangerous
and while it may not have serious
effect while in progress there is
always more or less bad effect for
the future and an opening to great
err infraction of the law. The cold
facts and sstipulations of the law
must be guide for the Grand
Jurors and Courts to handle such
cases.
Judge Lloyd also charged briefly
upon the liquor law violations and
said that as long as he has anything
to do with the upholding of the
Constitution and laws he will bring
to Justice every offender against
them. He said it is not the pri-
vilege of individuals to pass upon the
wisdom of constitutional proniptiol
and the acts of legislatures, and
while there are such guides for the
adherence to them there is moth
ing more insidious than wholesale
disregard of some laws as it has the
effect Of opening the doors to gen
eral infractions and lawlessness.
This reference applied to the
Grand Jury as the result OF arres'
in liquor matters.
Mention was also made by Judge
Lloyd of the Cody case from Cam
Dix. Cody, it will be recalled, wa
found dead along the road abou
two months ago and it is suspected
that he was murdered Judge Lloy'
said that he understood the investl
CATION had not been finished an
