$50 commuters, and a school It IL neitbert the
biggest nor the smallest town In New jersey
For the sake Of accuracy IL may be well Ia
,,ste that the last census gave II 1000 In
bsbitsnts. but one shouldn't Judge Jersey
town By lite census
AZ least Hasbrouck Heights shouldn't he
Judged that way. Many Of the residents Of
his town are engaged in business In New
York and they spend the long winter evenings
IN discussing town government. When II
comes 10 an agitation that Affects town gov
.nment. Hasbrouck Heights. In town caucus
.ssemblsd, can make more racket than q
boiler factory.
But this story concerns only one Of It's agita-
lions. the one that oulnlnatsd last night II
also concerns the school and q majority OF the

"dentlemen, you must either believe that
my wife IL iiar. or you will vote for me-"
II that was really the issue there was more
agitation than aallantry. William & Lawrence
was the regular candidate. and his friends said
that Candidate Graves was indignant because
his wife had not been appointed third as
sIstant in the school Town Clerk A. X.
Goodrich who 10 also q school trustee. and
q conservative man. said moreover that
Candidate Grayes was rude to hin and on
morning at ths train. Mr.. Graves had rudely
said = don't want any OF -FOUR good morn
So IL was but natural that last nights cleo
too should take the form Of a duel between
Mr., Graves and the supporters OF the Board OF
