A walk on that portion of West Side
near Boyd avenue is very dangerous after
dark. The tagging is in a ~disgracefuI
condition, and should be repaired at
once.
The residents in this section are for
tunate in having some vacant lots neal
their homes where they can deposit ashes
and garbage. Ii they were TO depend on
the ash carts they would fail short. A
call is made by these gentlemen about
once Il month and naturally no depend
ence is placed in them. II is high time
that the Commissioners recognized the
fact that West Bergen needs a little more
attention in this respect. The disposing
of garbage in vacant lots is becoming a
nuisance which should be abated.
Nothing is being done regarding the
organization of an Episcopal Church in
this section. The people do not take to
the idea, believing that the maintenance
of the two churches already here is u
task large enough for New Bergeners.
The matter may be agitated later on, the
promoters of the scheme being confident
of Its ultimate success.
