.SEALER OBTAINS
SALOON LICENSE
North Arlington Officials and
Residents Had Strenuously
Opposed Application.

In the face of opposition evidenced
by the officials and residents of North
Arlington and Kearny, County Judge
Demarest at the Bergen County
Court House, at Hackensack, today
granted a saloon license to County
Sealer of Weights William H. Rodg-
ers, of Bergen county. The saloon is
to be located at Kearny avenue and
Belleville turnpike, North Arlington.
The application of John Paffendorf
for a renewal of license was refused
by the judge Mayor William Bran
denburg, jr., and the Council of North
Arlington were active in the fight to
prevent the Rodgers license being
granted. The Kearny Town Council,
at its meeting Wednesday night,
passed a resolution wherein Judge
Demarest was asked to refuse the
license.
A delegation of officials of both
places, together with a score of
citizens, were in the court today. They
explained their reason for opposing
the saloon at the point in question.
The contention was the locality is in
a certain sense restricted and many
handsome residences had been erected
near the junction with the under
stand ing that saloon would not be
opened.
The saloon will be just across the
Kearny line. Whether or not any
further action will be taken could
not be learned today. 1t had been
expected that Paffendorf would get
a renewal. He was recently elected
a councilman in North Arlington, and
is under heavy bail as a material
witness in the murder of Martin Rit-
tenbach. which occurred some weeks
ago.
