LIVELY COUNCIL MEETING.
Mayor Has Trouble Getting Borough
Engineer.

There was a rather stormy meeting
of the Borough council at Fort Lee,
April 5. The event of the evening
was the presence of a delegation from
Coytesville, some seventy-fve strong.
They wanted and got resolution
passed looking into the five cent fare
question: the Public Service having
recently added another fare to Edge
water Heights. This is a hardship
on many working men who hold po-
sitions in the glucose and oil works
in Edgewater
The Coytesville delegation also
asked that the park be closed, and
this brought on additional argument.
Mayor Abbott proposed the name
Of William Clark, of Edgewater, as
borough engineer. Mr.. Clark is engi-
neer for Edgewater and Tenafy. He
is said to have built the road at
Edgewater that was estimated at
$4,000, and that finally cost $4,000.
The engineer appointment was not
ratified, and will be taken up at sub
SeQuent meeting.
There were some lively exchanges
between Councilman McG1oyn, Brady
and Mayor Abbott.

FORTY DEGREE DROP.
Peculiar Storm of March Is That Did
Thin9S

Things.
Old Brother DeVoe, the Hacken-
sack meteorologist must have been
taken entirely off his feet by that
fierce blast of March Is when Old
Boreas filling his elastic cheeks to
inhation's limit let forth such a splut-
tering OF bowling winds that almost
lifted the shingles The Hon. Mister
DeVoe didn't get his clutches on this
particular storm. In fact, it hit him
and this section so quickly that one
was reminded of the old lady who
took train for the first time in her
life when there happened to be col
lision. The old lady picking up her
buds and handbook from the other end
of the car where she and they had
alighted, and exclaimed:
"Lorsa me! do they allus stop so
suddent?"
After a day of exquisite sunshine
and crisp air. with the boys out play
ing ball on the lot in Cumbermede
road, there came a sudden dark gray
cloud that overspread the west. Along
about seven o'clock the wind took a
hitch, puffed up mite, then in few
minutes freshened into gale with a
little light rain, and then some cutting
sleet that swept in slants and cut fur
rows in faces. The sleet soon turned
to snow, and the latter came down in
binding flakes as big as small sau-
GERS.
As for the wind, according to the
record, it hit up a pace beyond the
fifty mile gait and pedestrians were
scarce around Pa1isade. In the midst
of this sportive gambol Of the ele-
ments there came a hurry-up call
from Grantwood for more "Palisa-
dians," and bundling up like an Es-
quimaux the ambitious editor sailed
forth, getting to the neighboring vii
lage and back much the worse for
wear and plastered over with snow
dabs like a Santa Claus.
Old Mister Thermometer had been
up to the 81 degree mark during the
day, but the next morning had
crawled down into his bulb till only
the IA mark showed, proving that
forty flat is almost a record fall in
degrees down.
No such storm as that could fall in
the day time when folks could see it.
Fred Bull said it made him think of
his beloved Canada, and Captain Oar
by expressed longing for the warm
er skies of Arkansas
Well, anyhow, it was some freak
in the way of storms, and put one
over on DeVoe in splendid fashion

and it made the exhausted coal bins
