Pfl. 50c fTT -i I FREEHOLDERS ON TRAIL OF LOWER FERRIAGE Camden Officials Name Committee to Investigate Rates Charged at Other Delaware Points Camden's Board of Freeholders yesterday took preliminary steps toward getting lower rates of ferriage between Camden and Philadelphia, when a special committee of five was by Director Prentice to make an investigation of tne various rates now in force on this part of the Delaware. This committee consists of Freeholders Helms, Prickett, Henderson, Ranking and Gercke. Last year such a committee was appointed, but at that time Hudson county was wrestling with the problem with the ferry companies in that section.

The freeholders of Hudson county took it upon themselves to regulate the rate of fer-' riage and the companies carried the matter to the Supreme Court, which sustained the corporations. Then recourse was had to the Court of Errors and Appeals, and that reversed the other court, virtually making it lawful, so far as New Jersey is concerned, for boards of freeholders to establish such rates. But in the meantime the contention has been taken to the Supreme Court, where it is now pending. If the Camden freeholders find have any jurisdiction in the matter they will demand a lower rate ot fare, perhaps two instead of three cents. The companies have contended that this is impossible, because it would not permit them to make operating expenses.

Those who have- investigated the subject assert otherwise. START ON IMPROVING MANY COUNTY ROADS Owing to the passage of the new Whyte bill, which provides additional State aid for counties in the building of roads and bridges, the Camden Board' of Freeholders yesterday took preliminary action toward improving all of the remaining roads which -have not yet been looked after.

Under the new law the county pay 45 per cent, for Toads and 80 per cent, for bridges. The old law made it obligatory for the county to pay 56 2-3 per cent, for roads and gave no aid at all for bridges.
