Committee Of Seventeen Not Ready
to Report Regarding the neet-
ing with George w. DriscolI, of
the Hudson River Realty Co.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Taxpayers Association took place on
Thursday evening, July IS, Vice-Presidant
Logan presiding. The meeting was of I'M
usual brevity, due to the fact that there
was little business before it, and what was
considered was despatched with readiness.
There was considerable surprise over the
failure OF the Committee of Seventeen to
report Regarding the visit of Mr. George
w. Drscoll, one of the directors of the
Hudson River Realty Company, who ap-
peared before this committee on july 70
with the intention of satisfying an element
in PaIsade that has SO long been crying
for public Improvements. BY resolution at
the meeting of the Committee of Seventeen.
before which Mr.. Driscoll appeared, it was
decided that nothing concerning the de-
liberations of that meeting should be di-
vulged until the next meeting of the Tax
sence of Mr.. Paul T. Brady. chairman Of
the committee, and also the absence of M.
w. r. Goodman, acting chairman OF the
committed in the absence of Mr. Brady.
a statement was made by Mr. Sager. sec
rotary OF the association. that he had been
instructed by Mr. Goodman to merely re
port progress This was of course, a
appointment, because the anxiety in Pal
isade concerning the outcome OF Mr. Dris-
coils visit is intense.
From unofficial sources. however it has
been learned that NJ. DriscoH came to
Palisade with thought of doing other
wise than satisfying everybody. It IS
stated that he offered TO donate lot for
town hall, and contribute $4,000 for the
erection Of same, this building 10 be used
for fire company meetings. Taxpayers
Association meetings. Union Church pur-
poses. Kindergarten School purposes and
perhaps for public school work, should
we be allowed teachers under the borough
government.
1t was also learned that Mr.. DriscoH
stated that the company would not be IN
willing tc donate lots to- public school pur-
poses whenever the boroughs were in po-
sition to put up the buildings. but he felt,
however. that if a public school We're
erected in Palisade that all the children
should be given the privilege of attending
Regarding the donation of lots for
churches Mr. Driscoll stated TO a Pail
sadian' representative that he wanted TO
help our all elements. but he did not see
how at the present time Palisade could
support a church. and. therefore, the do
nation Of lots would be unnecessary. He
stated that should any one denomination
with sufficient money conclude 10 build a
church, there would be no difficulty about
a lot.
