GRAND JURY RETURN BILLS i I • . » Continued from First Page I ment of County affairs during the , past several years to that extent that « many of the public aerranta, as disclosed by the evidence, have lost all , sense of moral turpitude for the sake , Qf obtaining some gain or reward, either by cash payments or political , support in order to continue the ,re- , gime. In many instances public office has been bartered and sold, pay- , ments -being made to members, of the Board, not only by the recipients of , the office, but by other interests with ] the expeAation of deriving some financial benefit as the result thereof. , Supples fbr the use of the Countyhave been purchased without due re- , gard to its necessity, quantity or use, and left scattered in various parts of the County, under the control of individuals who are not responsible to , the County, and indiscriminately , drawn on, whether far County pur- , poses or fob individual use; some of ■ it permitted to lie dormant for sev- , r eral years under such control, while , like commodities are being purchased from time to time, thus indicating a , desire to- buy for the sake of- obtain- | y ing the petty graft or "rakeofT" paid . to certain" individuals in authority for j S throwing the business in a particular , direction. * i e Bills have been approved and paid without verification, in accordance with the law, and in many instances! , > bearing the ear-marks of being padn ded and inflated for the purpose of defrauding the County of its money. .- Evidence of bribery for the warding of contracts, and collusive bic.- - ding, with a tacit understanding aslo the successful bidder, upon the paye ment of a certain consideration to the - competitor, discloses the ulterior motive of the extensive improvements made in the past, which has cause 1 . the County indebtedness to reach almost its limit. t Inexperienced men have been se- , lected to discharge the* duties requir- , ing knowledge and experience; mone eys collected by officials for srvicts i- on dafs and dates when they' were ,, not engaged in County work; charges for automobile hire without warrant oPIaw and in many instances whio never reached the person who it was _ alleged furnished the automobile bonds disposed of and the proceeds thereof, which became County money, permitted to be used, after tindelivery of the bonds to the purchasers and the depositary designated b them in New York, to be" loaned or* at a high rate of interest on call loans, and the earnings' theredf diB vided Bbetween the purchasers, Ihe depository in Ihe City of New York i and the depository of the County, : who had never handled any por' of the ipoceeds except by giving cred- , it to Ihe Count* for the total amount t on its books without any interest return Whatsovere to the County: indi- . eating a 'demoralization apd depravity which should arouse a sentiment . among the inhabitants of the Cour' 1 to place the responslbilit v for thecondition of affairs, upon those Who; j havf created' and "permitted this con-; t dition. and to aid and assist the pros- , ecution of those responsible therefo -. ,. As th? result or the knowledge , gained by our deliberations, and fee'- ; . ing our- res"ponsibility as members of j the Grand Inquest, of the County of, . ("ape May, and with a desire to fuithcr the ends of justice and to. ail • and assist in -the elimination of the , evils above stated, as fur as possible.' vC the foreman and members of the Grand Inquest, do herehv present- and! rccomnu-nd for the consideration of! the Court and the inhabit iants of the] County of Cape May, the following! suggestions which we believe, if car- 1 s nod out, will aid and assist in brci'1 - ing up the system, better the enndi-' ^ t:on of the administration of the pub-| , lie affairs of "the County, and - cen- : a" tralize the responsibility for the ho [ e est administration of the County's 'af-.j 1 fairs, to wit: 1. SMALL BOARD: By; reason rf f the large ■ number eomnrising the Hoard of Chosen Freeholders of the County, combinations have been form- ■ r ed for the purpose of. carrying out. the* extravagant program above re- 1 furred to. and as result thereof] some of the members of the Boar 1 1 ■who have no1 been actuated bv-cbr-j. ' rupt jnoliv.:; havcTTreii led on hy thej » (omhin.'tion. in- omissions in the.dis- ; rh.-iree 'of their nuhlic duties. As result.] we therefore recommend I immediate steps be instituted to suh1 mit to -the citizens of Cape Mali Copnty* the adopt inn of the act nrc- « I. viding for a small Board of Freeholders, realizing that the smaller - Board elected hy voters of the Cone fy. instead of wards and districts. a would result in .the selection of ins* knftwn throughout, the County for 1 their honesty ahd 'integrityCiind no' - swayed hy local condition's and lev . a fluence. and vesting the re^oon-:liili li tv for I heachaphd re < ion of the Coun- - ty nffair>i*iip<in-tho shoulders of three members, iri-itead of fourteen. 2. CENTRAL LOCATION: TV Board of Chosen Freeholders is coni st it ut cd hv the legislature of the State of New Jersey as a body cor , poratc and vested with certain now - ers, and, like all other corporations. J should maintain a principal place of • business. The business of ..this cor- ' . noration being co-extensive with thiv k lines of the County, ^its princinnr ^ place of business should he. at the i- _

mend that adeqnate quarters he pen- S vided at the Cnnrt Hoase, together U with proper files, safes and ether Q fixtures necessary, and that all »r the 3 records, minute books mad other doc- Q uments connected with the basincn of the Board of Qiosen Freeholders J kept in these quarters, and that all business connected with County affairs, whether by. the Board or its officers, be transacted from tht County seat. - X DEPOSITORIES: The funds of the County being the trust funds , of the entire inhabitants thereof, whether raised by- taxation, revenue or sale of bands, should be apportioned amongst the various banks of the Conntv, in proportion to the financial I standing of said institutions- Wc " therefore recommend that this Tlispo- I sitlon of the County funds on hand ( be made; and that in every instance e intprest -of at least three per cent ■ should be exacted from these institu- ( t ions on both checking and special ] accounts , I 4. RETRENCHMENT : In view of I the financial condition of the County, which will necessitate making provisions for the\ papment of interest charges and principal on past indebtedness, either by taxation or by raising the assessed valuation of prop J erty throughout the County, we' re- " commend that a rigid economy be ■ practiced in contracting nfcw indebtedness of the County until the Conn- = ty's finances are placed upon a solvent basis, and that no new public improvements be undertaken unlesabsolutely essential for lhe preservation ofVork already contracted and paid for. 5. COUNTY SUPPLIES: We recommend that all properties and £up- ; plies of the County, when feasible, be kept in a central location, and no supplies be withdrawn except upon! proper order or authorization, and a j-record kept of the date, the amoun' ' and the person to whom such sup- . plies are delivered. " T 6. ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC HEARINGS: The Board of Chosen j Freeholders 'are constituted by law 'as 1 a corporation and are the custodians ' of a vast sum of money, and under .. the act create indebtedness and the expenditure of money- by the passage of a mere resolution. Small municipal corporations within the confine 1 of the County, before they can inau- ' gurate a public improvement and pro- — ] vide for the payment pf the same ; must introduce for passage an ordi- \ nance goverirtg the subject matter, « '' advertising the same, and afford - i public hearing in> favor or against \ ' the adoption of the ordinance. We s ' therefore recommend that the County / AC Center 185 of the Laws of } 1918, better known as the Revision of S the County Act), he amended, com- c ' yelling that all public improvements I < other than the ordinary, necessary S ' operations of the County- Board, and ' only- he authorized by the adoption J ' of an ordinance, d"ly advertised. 1 . after public hearing afforded to i taxpayers of. the County to plan j • themselves on. record for or again 1 ■ 7. • W VIL. ACTIONS ; In view f 3 • the large slims of monevvof whi ' ] ■ the County has -been defrauded l> v ! certain mPmhers of the Board ol ^ Chosen Freeholders and contractor j '. and moneys due for. interest wh« * i| properly belongs to the County. w< J ■ recommend Ihct the County Soiicitoi ; • institute suit to recover from sue'. 5 . impart v or parties who have thus o' • < tained the moneys of the Count v. ; At the suggestion of Justice. 5 ' Black, this Grand* Jury investigate- ' " not only itself, l>ut the, entire Gran i Jury list; likewise the drawing < 5 I] the present panel, and the list -f- * 1 j which it was drawn, and as a result < , 1 thereof we find that there was no > ■ ulterior motive underlying the spier- Jj 1.1 lion of the .said list. * 'j At the same . time we desire to re— j ■ I ominend that ho person's name sho"l-' * I be added to the list, of either th: i I Grand or Petit Jury upon their o i request, or excused by the Jury Com-- 1 • mission from doing jury duty at their ' I request or the request of* any othe- i person, hut that the law creating the 1 I list should be strictly followed in the C selection of luiih the Grand and. Pet it * j Jury.. Following this, ihe indictments * Were read. Charles A, Bonnell. ren- J resented the members of the Board ; ■of- Freeholders and entered a plea of ) ."not guilty" on their behalf. * was then fixed/ranging from $1,0C0 ' contractors, with one exception, also * I to 85.000 for each member. The ] .contractors, with one exception, also 1 entered' a_ nlens of "not guilty." ' t tense moment was felt by all in He I Court room when W. $1. Homan. • contractor, '. arose and . answerer, "guilty"* to an ipdicl ment. and thus displayed to -the public that at least show the courage of his convictions. The Grand Jury returned to room for further deliberation at th«' close, of the- Court session. Garner Hill, Gladstone. N. J., Sells Rat-Snap, He says ."I sell and use RAT-SNAP.
