West Bergen.
West Bergen citizens have much to
complain of, and the Citizens Associa-
sion is being scored for not taking a
more active interest in local i'm prove
ments. West Bergen has no system OF
sewerage, and is completely at the mercy
of the filthy refuse from which eliminates
disease that will cause unnecessary sick
ness. Sewer refuse emptles into the
vacant lots in this section. and forms
nasty ponds which are not only an eye
sore, but are extremely dangerous, be-
cause of the disease which turks in them
There are many other nutsances. ana lack

like to see the Citizens Association wake
up IfOHl Ills pEOhFuCteu Slccp anu Cu-
deayor to remedy these evils.

The proposition for the establishment
of another church and Sunday School III
West Bergen does not seem to meet with
much favor, AS the people generally argue
that. il would be better to support the
churches at present existing. than to start
another bantling struggling for existence
in a sparsely settled community.
A few months & the organization of a
building and loan association in this vi.
cinity was talked of, but no prog ress was
made. The talk has been revived, and 1t
is reported that so shares has been sub
scribed for, and It's success now seems as.
sured. A meeting viii be called for or
ganization early in December by the pro-
moters of the scheme, The association,
If launched. would prove Il great boon TO
West Bergen. Many new buildings are
needed in this vicinity, but there seems
TO be u scarcity OF capital wherewith to
build. buildings would be erected
through a LOAF association which would
never be erected under other circumstan-
ces, and the benefit derived therefrom
would advance West Bergen interests.
