Memorandum of minutes of a committee meeting of the Board of Chosen Freeholders as a whole, held in the office of County Counsel Way, "Wildwood, N. J-, on Thursday, June 5, 1922, w-itih the following members present: Messrs. Anderson, Chadw-ick, Corson, Cree, Eldredge, Foster, McNeil, Norton, Rfeiffer, Shaw, Stein, Swain (12). A committee took up the recom-. ! mendations of the Grand Jury in reference to commencing civil suits *• against contractors and others for recovery of money that is alleged to have been defrauded1. Mechanic street, contract of E. Riley. Mixner and Beach DiiVe, con-; tract of Sutton & Corson Co. The committee concludes that arrangements will be made to have test i borings made the entire length of roadway under each contract with a} view of ascertaining average of such • ? lavement in accordance with prevailng practice now being used by the State Highway Dept., and by this j "method determine any deficiency in , the quantity of material used, as compared with the ^specifications. . Moved by Mr. Swain, seconded by ; Mr- Chadw-ick, that the conclusion be adopted- CarriedMoved by Mr. Norton, seconded by Mr. Shaw that the clerk communicate With the State Highway Commission and ascertain if the Highway Depart ment will make the test borings and approximately what the cost will be and that when the test borings are made Messrs Eldredge and Swain be | present while same is being done in ' their respective districts- Carried. 2. The bulkhead along Wildwood Boulevard contract of Craythorn & Nickerson Co. After discussing the subject in detail Mr. C. W. Craythorn of the above finn was called and asked to make a statement in reference to theeomple tion of the work, and stated as fol- , > lows: The contract price for the work was $4,410, which he felt would eliminate the allegation that the contractor sav- j ed approximately $5,000 on this work There was no dead piling used in the \ construction, but possibly a law on- . dersized but the loss in size of piling j was made up by the additional piling required as same were placed as close together as possible. "1 am frank to admit that the caping was 3-in. by 6in. instead of 8-in. by 7-in- as specified, * and that the error was made in cut ting the lumber and not discovered untk nearly completed as 3-in by 7- i in. is an odd size. There was constructed 285 feet additional bulkhead more than was specified in contract and for which our company has not been paid and no bill has ever been presented to the county " After further questioning and consideration ot Mr. Craythorn 's statement it was. Moved by Mr. Eldredge, seconded by Mr. Corson, that inasmuch as Craythorn & Nickerson Company constructed 235 feet additional bulkhead without cost to the county that this t committee sees no cause for action. Carried. 3. Landis avenue. Sea Isle City, contract of Sutton & Corson Company for re-surfacing. After discussion of this subject it f was moved by Mr. Norton, seconded by Mr- Pfeiger that the county Engineer be requested to inspect the specifications and the work done and report to the Board his opinion as to whether or not same was completed in accordance with the plans and specifications. Carried. 4- Turtle Girt Inlet road, payment to Caeeedy & Homan, of $5,001.68 June 26, 1918. After discussion of this subject it was moved by Mr. Eldredge, seconded *Y by Mr. Stein that the county counsel be instructed to have search made to ascertain if Messrs - Cassedy & Homan have any property whereby recovery could be made if judgment was obtained- Carried. 6. Union Bank of Wildwood interest on bank depositsMr- Johnson, bookkeeper in the Union Bank was called and the rec commendation of the Grand Jury read ' *" to him and he stated as follows: 8 % was paid on account No. 1 or the amount of $168,000, until May 81, 1920, regardless of the fact that this account was practically an open checking account and that on May 31, 1920, the county was credited with approxi- ' mately $1,100 interest- As to account No. 2 or the $286,000 amount I was instructed by Mr. Saul, then county collector, to make a notation "no interest" effective June 1st, 1920, and this also to -apply to No. 1 account.! I was an employee of the bank and : at the same time assisted Mr. Saul in keeping his books as county collector. IL, In answer to a question whether W Mr. Frank P- Downs gave any instructions to mark the bank accounts "no interest," Mr- Johnson replied "That when Captain Downs spoke to him (Johnson) about the interest befog marked off, same had already been l' " marked in accordance with instruction \ from Mr. SaulMr. Charles W. Saul., foimer counk ty collector, was then called and af-

i- 1 ter having been informed of the statei- ment of the Grand Jury was request - n ' ed to give the board full information Y, | for its guidance in reference to acie count No. 1. Mr- Saul stated that the ■s bookkeeper (Mr. Johnson) was in- . structed by him (Mr. Saul) to remove r- the interest on the $168,000 effective 1, June 1st, 1920, for the reason that he n felt that if the Union Bank was good ] enough to assist the county at that | i-. particular period by taking a bond issue of $140,000 at the then low rate | s of 514% that it was only fair that the ;- Union Bank should receive the same 0 treatment as did Messrs- Hornblower j & Weeks, purchasers of the $286,000 ). bond issueIn reference to account No. 2 Mr i Saul stated that the finance commit- • tee arranged the sale of bonds to t Messrs. Hornblower & Weeks of New f | York after the $286,000 issue had I a '■ been duly advertise'' and no bids re- 1 li -ceived and it was hi?' understanding - 1 that no interest was to be required i e on the proceeds of such sale and s i which was done to offset the 'ow rate | n ' of interest on said issue and the then j - existing high rate of interest to be obtained from other securities and he > y | further understood that the finance | e committee had requested that if such j an agreement was* reached the monev , f should be deposited in Cape May e county. "The only connection I had a with this transaction was when I ■ went to New York to make deliverv 1 of the bonds, and not caring to go e alone, Mr. Downs went to New York e with me and when we arrived in New e York and the bonds were turned over a to Mr. Downs as representative of the Union Bank and he (Downs) isi sued to me a deposit receipt of the 1: Union Bank marked "for collection " ' Mr. Otto Koeneke, former chairman " of the finance committee, was then 6 called and asked to explain the trans1 action. He stated as follows : Evidently owing to the low rate of " j interest specified for the $286,000 bond issue no bids were received and the ® j board in an endeavor to dispose of 1 ; same at 5(4% rate of interest the * j finance committee was instructed to 1 j take up the matter of sale and did so - 1 with a representative of J. B V'e-dn- . gen Company who was present the M day bids were to be received and in » | addition to himself (Koeneke) Messrs- * | Camp arid Hewitt were present at a 3 j conference with said representative '• i and after said conference they report- • | ed to the Board the arrangement that ' j could be made for the disposal of the * I bonds. After the board meeting Mr. ' Varangen and a Mr. Cassen asked the ! finance committee if it would intro- ' duce them to some bank of Wildwood . : or Cape May county as a result of which said gentlemen accompanied 1 myself and Mr. Hewitt to Wildwood and we introduced them to Captain * Frank Downs after which we left them and I do hot know what tran- , soired between Vaningea, Cassen and . 3 Mr. Downs. In answer to a question as to 1 whether the Board of Ghosen Frees holders had ever taken any action to j his knowledge, requiring the payment i ' of interest on deposits he stated: I- . "During my term on the board no ; - arrangement or action was ever tak- ■ en to require interest to be paid on ! 1 bank deposits or the proceeds of the i sale of $286,000 bond issue." Captain Frank P- Dorwns, president - - of the Union Bank, was then called I 1 and asked to make a statement to the j board in reference to the aforemen- : J tioned transactions. Captain Downs i stated that 3% interest had been paid on the $168,090 account, the last payt ment being made on May 31 st, 1920, ^ in amount $1,158.69, and produced the original bank record showing the i t credit to the county therefor and he , j further stated that the entire time i I that this fund was on deposit it was ■ 5 used as a checking account in pay- j . ment of contract bills and in accord- , . a nee with banking rules was not sub- i i ject to interest payment. ' In reference to account No. 1 and . No- 2 Mr- Downs -""was asked this question: "Did you instruct your . cashier or beekkeeper to mark any , county account "no interest?" Ansj wer: "I did not and did not kriow of 1 same being dond until two or three < . days after such action." t t Conclusion: The board, after hear- , ing witnesses and careful considera- t . tion of entire stibject do not find evi- 1 dence to warrant action for recovery . .' of interest. The collection of interest t and bank deposits by municipalities ■ - being a discretionary matter. Moved by Mr. Swain, seconded bv i - Mr. Chadwick that the conclusion be t I , adopted. Carried- , • | 6. In reference to item of $2,083.00 ; I I to Craythorn & Nickerson Company 1 1 j upon an alleged fake bill after the i • county emrineer had stricken out the " item from the North Wildwood Bulk- 1 head, Mr. Craythorn of Craythorn & ' « | Nickerson Company was called and i 1 asked what he had to say in reference 1 > thereto and stated that this bill cov- - e?ed services rendered in hauling i i broken concrete from the government ' i barracks at Cane May and dumping same along the bulkhead on north side ' - of Wildwood road, further that the : - work was done before the first of the 1

"RED HOT ROMANCE" IS TRUE TO TITLE "Red Hot Romance" is the title of the latest work of John Emerson and Anita Loos, who have been responsi- : for many of the most successful | photoplays produced on the American screen. It is an Associated First | National attraction, and is coming to the Cox's Pier Theatre, on Wednesday for an engagement of 2 days. The picture is crammed full of the delicate humor and satire for which XIr. Emerson and -Miss Loos are notled. The story "pokes fun" at that | of novel arid play made famous Richard Harding Davis. Anthony I George Barr McCutcneon and others, wherein the young American gets into complications in for- | eign kingdom, falls in love with the princess, foils all her royal suitors and turns the entire countryside upside down before he gets through with In this instance there is no princess the girl in the case being an American maiden who was followed to Bunkonia by the youth. But all the rest of the stock situations are there — that is, depicted in a delightfully satirical vein — but the present writers have gone their famous oredecessors many better.
