much-vaunted Borough of Leonia,
ment curbing and gutter, and when
completed, it is understood, is to be
thoroughly re-dressed and made an
up-to-date street. What a contrast
there will be when one leaves the
somewhat criticised Borough of Pal
isades Park, and enters into the
and finds that from a we'll kept, well
regulated avenue, they get into
street which would hardly be toler-
ated in sections very much further
remote from New York than Leonia.
Even the Trolley Company seems
to join with the rest of this commu-
nifty in keeping the street in as bad a
condition as possible, as no effort has
been made in the last three years,
even to keep the rails level with the
surface.
With Leonia awake to its possibil-
tiles, the Strengthening up and clean
ing out of its approaches, what might
not this town expect in increases

ideal suburb in many respects, and
all it needs is little public atten-
ton and thought of the residents of
this town, to make it indeed THE
Suburb Beautiful"
Pal1SadeS CIVIC Pride.

of civic pride. Within the memory
of few of us has a more inviting SUI

Chance for Improvement.

There is another way of approach
ing this town, which many like bet
ter, that is by may of the trolley line
from the both Street Ferry AS the
trolley turns on to Broad avenue at
Morsemere, one cannot help but re-
spect the judgment of the authori-
ties when making this street They
have allowed ample room for a mag
ni6cent thoroughfare, being some 80
feet in width. But, as we approach
Leonia, we find that this beautiful
avenue is almost neglected. True, on
one side there is very nice side
walk, but on the other side the side
walk appears only in spots.
The roadway itself is very poorly
macadamised and is allowed to grow
up in weeds in between the rails and
tracks, and as we have passed over
we have seen weeds from six inches
to eighteen inches in height, which
catch the oil and grease from cars
as they pass, and afterwards deposit
this same oil and grease on the skirts
of ladies who alight.
The cutters are poorly kept and
are full of weeds in summer, and
taking it altogether the street which
could be, and should be made beau
tiful one, so that strangers Chou
sands of whom pass on the trolley
every year, would comment upon it,
is apparently almost left to its own
deStruc ton.
AS has been said before, this seems
a most short-sighted policy on the
part of the parties interested, wheth-
er it be the Borough officials or the
Land Companies, but whoever it is,
it should be remedied in the interest
of the Borough at large.
Palisades Parks Fine Example.
The Borough of Palisades Park has
made a move in the right direction.
This Borough has decided that Broad
avenue is worthy of attention, and
has almost completed the improve
ments which make it a magnificent
thoroughfare. This is a continuous
sidewalk of equal width on both sides
of the street from Borough line to
Borough line. 1t is finished with ce

to be despised and decried. Whereas,
as matter of fact, they double
and treble the revenues of the
town, they add population, they
make business for the merchant, and
probably receive smaller share, in
proportion, of the moneys expended
by the Borough in improvements,
than any other taxpayer.
Rapid Growth of Bergen County.
By the last reports obtainable, the
county of Bergen has increased in
population in the past ten years
nearly 80 per cent, that is, from u.s.
AL in 1900 to 138,OO2 in 1910, or
greater increase than any of the
counties in the Metropolitan District
in New Jersey, namely Essex, Hud-
son, Union and Passaic, and has a
greater increase with the possible
exception of one) than the Metropali-
tan District in New York State,
namely New York, Kings, Queens,
Richmond, Nassau, Suffolk, West
chester and Rockland with the pos
sible exception of Queens, whose in
crease is practically the same as Ber-
gen County. When one considers
that this increase of Bergen county
has been very largely made in the
last four or five years, we have to
acknowledge the fact that Land Com
panies that develop property and
make homes, are more or less public
berefactors.
Leonia's Fine Situation.
Speaking of Leonia, what prettier
situation can be found than the sit
uation Of this town, located as it is
on the slope of the Palisades, with
its wide and expansive views, with its
good homes, absence of factories, all
of the advantages of social life, with
its clubs, churches and magnificent
schools? The location is of unusual
attractiveness and is becoming more
and more appreciated.
More Enterprise Wanted.
Yet there is one thing that always
impresses one in entering Leonia,
which many believe could be and
should be remedied by the people
who are interested, whether it be the
Land Companies or the Borough au-
thorities, and that is, its approach.
1t one goes by way of the Erie, the
landscape is not prepossessing. AS
is we'll known the Erie follows large
ly the edge of the meadows, and as
you alight from the train at Leonia,
very old and unsightly station
meets the eye. The town itself, in
this section, is not over-c1ean, and
altogether the impression. is not a
favorable one. One only needs to
make comparison with other towns,
not nearly SO desirable in themselves,
where a little time and money and
attention has been given to its ap-
proach, its station and the surround
ings at the station, to realize how
much better an impression a stranger
has as he enters the town, and how
often the first impressions are last
ing ones.
