Editor EVENING NEWS:
There seems to be a feeling among
the public generally, that the budget
of the Freeholders for this year is
rather high, and I feel that this crit
icism ii unjust, from the fact, that
the increase in the budget had to be
made for items that the Freeholders
do not control, as you will see by the
enclosed copies of budgets. I am
sending you this so that, if you so
desire, you may inform the public
through your valuable paper just
why and how the budget, necessarily,
had to be so large.
Thanking you In advance for the
publication of this article, I remain,
Yours very truly,
H. RAYMOND GROVES.
Dear Sir:
Above please find copies of the bud
get made by the last democratic Board
of Freeholders in the year 1P05 and the
present Board of Freeholders in the
year 1909. You will notice that the
budget has been divided into amounts
over which the freeholders have no con
trol and amounts over which the free
holders do control.
The first item of Court Salaries, Fees
and Expenses, has been Increased from
$35,000 to «65,000, and $20,000 of that
is to take care of the deficiency in said
appropriation for the year 1908. The
courts of this county last year costing
the taxpayers about $57,000, there hav
ing been a balance carried over from
the year 1907. These amounts are paid
out under the law and upon the order
of the court and prosecutor.
The next item of Maintenance, Etc.,
of Lunatics, has been increased $6,000
because that amount is necessary to pay
the bills of tho New Jersey State Hos
pital and the New Jersey State Village
for Epileptics. These bills are render
ed according to law and the patients
are sent there by the court and county
ordered to maintain them.
The next item of Salaries of Bridge
Tenders, has been increased from $2,
500 to $6,000 because of the increased
number of bridge tenders which it is
necessary to have on account of the
new Amboy bridge, a legacy left to this
board of freeholders by the board of
the year 1905, a bridge that has al
ready cost the taxpayers of this county
in bonds, interest and running expenses
nearly $300,000. The freeholders have
no option in" the matter, bnt are com
pelled to place engineers and bridge
tenders upon same.
The next item of expenses, etc., of
County School Superintendent, is an
item the freeholders have no jurisdic
tion over, but are compelled to pay the
expenses for this department.
The next item of Fees of Coroners
and Burials has been increased $300
becauso of the increased expenses incur
red from an increased population, and
this amount is paid out entirely upon
the certification of the County Phyei
cian and County Clerk.
The next item of Election Expenses
has to be made by law covering the
provisions and payments of election,
and the freeholders must provide money
therefor.
The next item of Bonded Debt Fall
ing Due is entirely an item which must
be taken care of.
The next item of Interest on Bonded
Debt, has been increased from $18,
842.50 to $25,000 because of t.he in
creased bonded debt arising from the
bond issue of the Amboy bridge and
building new roads under State aid,
this amount the Board of Freeholders
have no jurisdiction over whatever.
The next item of Discounts on Tem
porary Loans, has been increased from
$2,000 to $10,000 from the fact that the
laws of the state have compelled the
Board of Freeholders to change their
fiscal year from May 9th to .Tanuarylst,
which makes it necessary for tho board
to borrow every dollar which they ex
pend during the year, as the taxes are
not paid until the following December.
The next item of Indexing Records
in County Offices, is an item that the
freeholders are compelled to place in
the budget under the court order.
The next item of Soldiers' and Sail
ors' Burials and Headstones is an ap
propriation which the laws of the state
compel the Board of Freeholders to
make to take ο aie of the soldiers of this
state at their death.
The Dext item of Hospitals is an Hem
of donation for charitable institutions
and one which the inhabitants of this
county undoubtedly would be very
opposed to have taken out of the bud
get.
The next item of Board of Children
in Orphan Asylums is an item over
which the freeholders have no control,
this amount being necessary to pay
board of homeless children of onr coun
ty who are sent to institutions under the
laws of the State of New Jersey.
The next item of County Board of
Taxation is an item which the laws of
the state have compelled this board to
place in their budget, an item which we
did not have in the year 1903, and one
which the freeholders have no juris
diction over whatever.
The next item of Sinking Fund Is
also provided for and made compulsory
by the laws of the state.
The next item of Transfers of $3,
361.06 is an item to take care of the
deficiency In the appropriation· of dis
counts on temporary loans, board of
children, and election expenses for the
year 1908, an item over which the free
holders have no control.
All of the above items are placed in
the budget with the amounts necessary
to take care of provisions under the
lawB and orders of the court, and you
will notice that these items have in
creased $65,678.56 from the year 1905
to the present year.
Following you will find the items that
are controlled by the Board of Free
holder*:
The item of Jail Expenses and Board
of Prisoners has been increased $1,000,
that amount being nccessary to take
care of the total expenses of board of
prisoners on account of increased crime,
etc.
The item of Salaries of Members of
the Board, etc., has been increased $1 ,
000 becauee of the increased salary
paid to the county engineer and county
physician, the increase being neceseary
because of the additional work falling
upon them.
The item of Stationery remains the
same and Is an item over which the
freeholders control entirely.
The item of Advertising, Publishing
and Printing has been increased $300,
that amount being necessary for addi
tional work.
The item of Incidental Expenses has
been increased $578.94 to take care of
additional expenses.
The item of Court House, County
Buildings and Grounds is $2,100 more
than the year 1905 because that amount
is necessary to take care of the en
largement of addition to the County
Clerk's office, records of county clerk
having out gTown the capacity of the
office.
The item of Repairing ,Preparing and
Graveling County Roads has been in
creased $7,000 becauee of the addition
al mileage of «tone roads built in this
county in the past few years, all of
which had to be kept In repair.
The item to pay notes for Macadam
izing County Roads has been reduced
$10,000 from the fact that it is til nec
essary to take care of the provision.
The item of Repairs, etc. County
Bridges has been reduced $£2,125, be
cause that amount is all that is neces
sary to take care of the county bridges
in this county, notwithstanding the
fact that we have the additional $300;
000 Amboy bridge to look after in ad
dition to the bridges that the board of
1905 had.
The next item of Road Repairs,
' ' South Amboy, ' ' of $3,500 is placed in
the budget to take care of the road re
paired in South Amboy, which has to
be done under State Instructions.
The next item of Transfers of $5,000
consists of an amount necessary to pay
deficiencies in the Freeholders' budget
of last year.
So yon can readily see that the pres
ent Board of Freeholders are running
the county government with $11,646.06
less to spend than the board in the
year 1905, notwithstanding they have
an increased population and a great
many more miles of stone roads, and a
great many more bridges to take care
of.

QUIET INSANE
IN HOT WATER
Treatment Used at theAsylum
at Trenton Has Good
Results.
IN BATH FOR 12 HOURS
Trenton, .Tan. 28:—Hie fact that in
sane patienta are kept in soak at the
State Hospital, in thii city ,for as long
an twelve hours at a time, was a revela
tion to the members of a Senate Com
mittee, who visited the institution after
the adjournment of the legislature thia
week. Dr. Henry A. Cotton, the medi
cal director, has recently introduced
the Kraepelin system of hot water
treatment successfully used in foreign
hospitals for many years, and with the
most satisfactory results. The senators
were shown four women who had been
violently insane, quietly resting in hot
water baths, in which they had been
reposing for eight hours.
The hot water treatment, although
not new, has been modernized in the
Trenton hospital by the adoption of all
of the most approved methods to which
have be«n added some additional safe
guards suggested by Dr. Cotton and his
associates. Specially constructed tubs,
six feet four inches in length, have been
installed, and are fed by a continual
stream of water entering at five pointe
in the tub to produce a uniform tem
perature. The tubs are manufactured
by the Mott Iron Company, of this city.
The patients are swung in canvas ham
mocks, and are left in the tuba absolute
ly without resraint, all restraint at the
institution having been abolished more
than a year ago.
The aim of the hot water treat
ment la to keep the patient In · uni
form temperature of 9S degrees,
and to insure this electric thermom
eters are installed in the tubs, which
ring a bell when the temperature
rlees above 88 degrees or below 90
degrees Fahrenheit. In addition to
this tests are continually made by
the attendants, but in case of their
failure the thermostat sounds the
warning bell.
At Munich, violent patients are
sometimes kept in these hot water
baths for a month at a time, but In
the few weeks that the system has
been in operation here they have al
ways been removed at night, al
though during a 12-hour stretch In
the water they frequently sleep and
are sometimes fed. The treatment
has proved so successful that one, or
at most, two attendants have been
able to care for four of the most vio
lent patients In the asylum. The sys
tem has been Introduced only In the
female ward, but Is now being In
stalled In the male ward. It Is used
In the cases of extremely excited or
restless patients, and thoee Buffering
from melancholia or dc: —rs'm. and
has been found most effective.
