walks perhaps would be willing to
sacrifice appearances somewhat on
the ground OF utility. All these ques-
tions can be threshed out at the meet
ing of the council when "obJectlons
are heard, but it should be borne III
mind that a squabble over the ques-
ton of adding four inches to the
width of the walks might cause such
a tangle as would delay the passage
of the ordinance and prevent the con
struction OF any walks before the
rapidly approaching winter.
The borough officials have shown
their willingness to push the work
along as rapidly as possible. Mayor
Abbott said at the last meeting OF the
council that he hoped the walks could
be LAID III some of the streets TINS
fall The borough officials reallzt
wnat this means to Palisade, and
they know that what helps Palisade
helps the entire borough. If Palisad
ians do their part there can be no
doubt that this great work will be &C
complished
The committee of Palisadians
which has taken charge of the work
is sparing no effort to push along this
important movement. This commit
tee includes V. B. Kelly, Elmer Dwig-
gins, A. w. Tams, Arthur Carson.
L. p Druck, A. L. Ruchman, H. d.
Douglas and George II. Frew. 1t is
a representative committee and Pali-
5adians may be we'll content to place
their interests in its hands.
When the work is finished, when
the walks are constructed, Palisade
may we'll call herself the model sub
urb of the great metropolitan district.

Leonia Notes.

Leonia is growing We have al
ready over 20 houses completed this
year, at least 10 under construction
and about 20 contemplated and most
Of them built by or for their owners.
The Leonia Heights Co. has not
done much in the house building line
lhis season, but they are beginning to
wake up They are now putting
down about 5000 feet of sewer, under
the supervision of Dick Buckholz, and
over 10000 lineal feet of concrete
sidewalk, all bossed by Mr.. Knapp
The Minnerly Bros. are having a
great time shooting rail birds. Their
bags are about 70 a day Once in
while DR.. Hunter, of Palisade, takes
a hand in with them.
The latest business trust" is the
firm of Hitchcock & Coover with c.
E. Gansmann, office at the junction
Mr. Moore, Superintendent Of
Streets, has about completed nearly
half mile of macadam on Broad ave
nue.
The Bohde property along the
north side of the trolley on Rely ave
nue., between Broad and Leonia ave
nues, has been sold to Mr.. Coover,
of Elizabeth, who will reside here
The engineers are now at work plot
ting and it will be put on the market
at once. Mr.. Coover expects to put
up several houses Immediately for
about $4,000 or $4,000
Messrs. Godstruy and Buckly are
building two bungalows on RELY ave
nue., to cost about $4,000.
Mr. Richards, our favorite builder,
has six houses on his hands near
completion, one for Capt. Helmes and
one for Mr.. Woolsey of the ferry
company.
Mr. Steinland has just sold the new
house opposite the Mayors home to
gentleman from New York.
Palisadian., 1909-09-01

To the people of Palisade there can
be no more important announcement,
no more cheering news, no more
gratifying information in this Ami
versary Number of The Pal1sad1an
than this-sidewalks are in sight!
There is a prospect that Bluff road
and possibly other streets will be pro-
vided with walks before the snow
falls. But if Bluff road alone should
be improved it would be a boon to
Palisadians and make conditions i'm
mensely better during the coming
winter.
With walk in Bluff road through
the very heart of Pahsade, connecting
with those along Anderson avenue
Abbott boulevard and Palisade ave
nue., all of our people would have ac-
cess to the Junction Station IN AD-
bott boulevard and the postottlce and
supply store in Palisade avenue, with
comparatively little trouble, even IN
unpleasant weather.
Since the sidewalk movement got
into full swing it has gone along at a
most gratifying rate. The citizens
committee which undertook the work
has had several meetings and some
of its members have had conferences
WITH tue lIIdNOl dllQ SOullNl4AI1SA1 olAANN
the petition signed by big majority
of Palisadians was filed with the Dor
ough government.
At a meeting held in the home Of
Mr.. Lucien Druck there was gen
eral discussion of the situation, and
at a later one at the home of Mr.. v
B. Kelly the ordinance providing fol-
the walks was put into shape. This
D-Iivor,~a introduced the ROT-
ough Council September 8, by Coun,
Gilman Arthur Carson. 1t passed its
first reading and within a few weeks
will be finally adopted.
The ordinance provides for cement
walks and curbing in Edgewood lane
Abbott boulevard, Dearborn road
Cumbermede road, Bluff road, Dorm
court road, Birdie way, and Arcadian
way. These are all the streets re-
Gently taken over by the borough II
which provision was made for walks
in the plan laid down by the Hudson
River Realty Company No prOvl
sion was made for a walk IN Colum-
bia avenue, which is one of the ac
cepted streets, but the committee will
take up the question of walk in that
thoroughfare at the earliest possible
moment This will have to be treat
ed in separate ordinance.
The ordinance as introduced pro
vides for walks three feet, eight
inches wide, and for curbing four
inches wide The crushed stone
walks put in by the company are
three feet eight inches wide and il
drafting the ordinance the trainers
followed the established lines. Since
the ordinance was drawn some senti
ment has developed in favor of four
foot walks.
Whether the walks shall be three
feet eight inches or four feet wide
will have to be finally determined by
the Borough Council Under the law
the Council will have to advertise for
"objections" and set a time for hear
ing these objections" before the or
dinance is passed. In due time this
advertisement will be published and
every one will have an opportunity
to voice his or her opinions on the
matter.
