Paying Off the Election Bills and County Expenditures
The Board of Freeholders discussed whether election officers should receive extra pay for handling both primary and registration duties. They faced a vague new law, weighed attorney opinions, and ultimately approved payment of the additional $2 per officer. Debates over room rent for elections followed, with approving votes set for regular, primary, and special elections. The meeting also covered a pension appropriation for an almshouse inmate, ongoing investigations into Justices of the Peace, and re-election of Steward Leida and Matron Leida.
