The Palisades Waterfalls.

In the spring Of the first year Pali-
sade was settled, the ground on top
of the Palisades was not drained, and
down by the footpath leading to the
ferry there was a very large water
fall after heavy rain. Upon one oc-
casion in 1905, this cascade was SO
large as to form a small Niagara.
There was such volume of water
flowing over the cliff that it amounted
to thousands of tons per hour. The
bridge on the walk just below the
broad double stairway was soaked
with the spray of the torrent that
rushed under it. During the heaviest
of the rain of August IS and 10, there
was scarcely perceptible waterfall
in the same place.

THE WATER TAX.
Mayor Abbott's Futile Effort to Get
a $1,000 Water Rate for Residences.

In a communication to the Sen
tinel,' of Fort Lee, Mayor John e.
Abbott tells of his efforts to secure a
ten dollar water rate for dwellings,
and hydrants. He makes allusion to
the fact that considerable time and at
tention were spent to effect these
rates, but without avail, He calls at
tention to the act of incorporation OF
the Hackensack Water Co. The capi-
tai is put down at $4,000. The act
reads as follows:
Section 10. Said Co. is hereby fully
authorized and empowered to lay their
pipes beneath sue h public streets,
roads, avenues or alleys as they may
deem necessary for the purpose afore-
said, free of all charge, to be made by
any person or persons, or body politlc
whatsoever for such privilege and
also such hydrants at the crossings or
intersections of said streets and alleys,
Section IL Said Co. may sell and
dispose of the water issuing from
said reservoirs, aqueducts or pipes,
for such price or prices as annual
rents, and under such restrictions as
they may think proper.
Mayor Abbott admits that by the
articles of incorporation the Munlcl-
pality is powerless, and gives 1t as his
opinion that the only redress possible
from the burdensome water rate Will
be by securing an enactment at Iren-
ton compelling the company to give
consumers an equitable rate on water,
Ii it is possible to get such law
passed, Mayor Abbott is the right
man TO head the fight.

Electric Sign Blown Over.

On the night Of August I6, the
heavy easterly gale blew the big cleo
trio light sign in the Palisades
Amusement Park over, and put it out
of commission. The damage was
considerable, but Superintendent Al.
Dexter soon got his forces at work
and put it up again. Hundreds of
bulbs were broken. The sign was
fully repaired and shining as usual the
second night after its tumble.
