BOARD- . I LARGE ORSMALL? PETITIONS BEING CIRCULATED -j TO REDUCE NUMBER OF FREEHOLDERS FROM FOURTEEN TO THREE. Editor's Note: The article below communicated- It expresses one , view of an important current quqes- < Maybe, you h^e other views , hear them. Petitions are being circulated | throughout the county for an election , secure a smaller board of freeon the same plan as commis- | sion government for the cities and it ( could be an excellent thing for the county Each member would be paid a salary as are the members of city commission and the law is intended to secure a careful and busi. , ness-like attention to all the details of the cbunty business. The city commission law is intended to do the, same thing, but it results thus only when the commissioners realize thjir responsibilities and set about meetthe various problems in a busi-ness-like way and with the same care, which a good business man gives 'to his own business.. ' If men elected to the small county of freeholders were chosen for political reasons and used the office a means of playing politics or of favoring one locality at the expense of the others there would be no per? ceptible improvement- If they sought to serve the interests of sopie county political boss, the condition could conceivably become worse. If, on the other hand, men are elected who will conscientiously seek to serve the whole county in an economical and - effective way without regard to any other consideration, the county expense can be reduced and we can get results all around. The law does not intend that these men shall take the of the fourteen and go through ^hp-^firne "nto. tions. It contemplates a revolution in methods of conducting the countv business, with a view to securing efficiency, economy and plain, old-fash-1 ioned.'busifiess-IIke doings. The men ' chosen should be representative, substantial business men who cannot be swerved from the exercise of their best judgment, in the county's interest, by either organizations or indi1 viduals.

SYAYE SOCIEYY 0 REVIEWS BOOK ( BULLETIN OF THE NEW JER- G SEY HISTORICAL SOCIETY MAKES SPECIAL MENTION Oi MAYFLOWER DESCENDANTS IN CAPE MAY COUNTY.", '-t C (From Proceedings of the New w Historical Socigty) 1 ' ti Descendants in Cape May t< County tl A most -interesting and thoroughly ~ prepared work with the above title e to our Society's library from s the publisher, Albert R. Hand, of h Cape May. The author is Rev. Paul s Sturtevant Howe, Ph. D., rector of b the Church of the Advent at Cape o and the" son of Rtv. Eldredge S Gerry Howe, of Plymouth, Mass. It h would almost seem, at a glance of v the 72-page Index to this, work , I (which is of 464 pages) that every-. |, body in Cape May County, past and t present, descends from "John How- a land, the Pilgrim." The names of B i Edmunds, Eldredge, Foster, Hand, { Hughes, Learning, Reeves and Smith | are but a few of those of whom many j scores, are named , as in the Pilgrim j v ; line. The first 93 pages are histori- , cal; then follow genealogical records r i of the Pilgrim ancestors of Cape | : May persons. There are nine illus- ; trations. Evidently the volume is i the work of "three years," as stated I in the "Foreword" but most authors i would* require twice that period to accomplish what has been performi ed- The author is engaged now on ; another work on the general subject, [ r to be entitled, "The Religious and , Legal, Constitution of - the Pilgrim ^ State," and he is clearly well- '< | equipped .to make it an authoitative ! volume- ( • FOR RENT— Store room, 20x38 £t- « Centrally located, close to Mer- ■ chants Bank- Will make altera- ! tions to suit tenant' I have rooip 1 and can alter to very large store- i p room, suitable for department, , grocery and meat, furniture, etc- , Two street entrances.
