THE HILL SECTION POPULAR
Ready Demand for Lots in That
Part of Hackensack.

Hackensack has never had a realty
boom. Its growth has always been
steady. In regard 20 realty conditions
there a we'll known broker has this TO
say:
"Hackensack has been making steady
progress. There is another feature OF
Hackensack which cannot be too strongly
emphasized when speaking Of the town as
a suburban residential centre. The Hack
ensack that we know to-day as the home
OF the commuter Is not the Hackensack
OF twenty-five years ago. for IL has grown
TO the north and over the hill back OF
the old town.
"The Hill is swept by the northwest
breezes from the Ramapo Mountains and
commands a fine view Of the Hackensack
Valley and the Palisades 10 the east. The
company most actively interested In the
development of the Hill section Is the
Bergen Realty Company. which some
years ago bought eighteen acres of land
fronting on Summit avenue in the north
erly part of the town. and forty-three
acres in the southerly part OF the town.
Recently the company acquired the ex-
elusive handling Of the property OF the
Hackensack Heights Association.
1.-THE association property has been
plotted: the smallest plots, few OF
which remain, are OF 50-foot frontage and
from 10 TO 1870 feet deep. The larger
plots are 10 and 100 feet front and from
200 to 300 feet deep. This property is adj
iacent 20 property improved with dwell
ings costing from $4,000 to $4,000. The
property is all properly restricted In every

The town is served by two steam rail-
roads, both under Erie control, the New
York. Susquehanna & Western running
through the town from east 10 west, with
two stations, and the New Jersey & New
York Railroad running north and south.
with four stations. As the tickets on each
OF these roads are good on the other. It
will be seen that Hackensack IS provided
with unusual railroad facilities.
Besides its steam roads, ii Is served by
the trolley line which runs from Pater-
son to the Fort Lee Ferry. and by a
Public Service Line which connects the
town directly with Hoboken.
Hackensack is a settlement Of homes,
manufacturing interests never having
been solicited to establish themselves in
its borders. a silk mill in the southern
part of the town and a wall paper fac
tory in the northern part constitute prac-
tcally its only manufacturing plants.
Its streets are all macadamized. and the
excellent condition in which they are
maintained IS appreciated by the thou
sands of drivers Of motor cars who week
ly use them

IHackensack Long Ago Solved
Many Problems Now
Worrying Big Cities.

Much has been written in recent years
about the commission form of govern
ment. and wherever politics is discussed
it seems to be the general opinion, judg-
ing from reports, that the honors for this
idea belong to Galveston. But the Cal
weston movement for new order or
things in municipal affairs seems TO date
back only to the time Of its rebuilding
period after the disastrous tidal flood.
Hackensack. however, has had a COM
mission government for over nifty years.
Il have been here over forty years,
said one of the leading citizens of the
town TO Tribune reporter yesterday.
when I settled here the affairs of the
village were managed by commissioners.
do not know just how long the commits
sion had been in existence, but | am sure
il was at least some years before my ar
rival, so IL is safe 10 say that Hacken-
sack is the originator of commission gov
eminent.
we have gone along so placidly that
the outside world has apparently over
looked US in its efforts 10 bestow credit
where il rightly belongs for the idea OF
commission government How we have
escaped receiving that honor, owing TO
our nearness TO New York, has often
perpieXed me.
we have long ceased to live In the ex-
perimental age, as regards commission
government, and have almost reached
the era of perfection.
in the earlier days we were managed
by a commission of five men, for whom
only freeholders voted. A freeholder was
a person who owned property and paid
taxes.
Later the charter of the village was
changed. so that everybody who voted at
a general election had a say in the village
government. voting. if they chose, for
commissioners. When proposition was
,,nade to bring about such a change in
voting there was a hue and cry that the
imam that had no property interest would
mot vote intelligently or in his own in
lterest. The fallacy of that contention
twas long ago shown. When only the free
tholders voted as to who should direct
Them or supervise the village affairs It
was a mere handful of votes out of many
Hundreds that decided such important
tQuestions.

Esprightly TO see that things were econom-

! In those days, when five commissioners

representing each ward, the burden Of re-
sponsibility was divided. AS there was
no real head 10 the commission. the Law

Mayor Linkroum said last week in rc-
gard TO Hackensack: The town Is ad-
vantageously situated for large industrial
concerns, but our people prefer TO keep 1t
in the residential class.
Il desire especially TO emphasize the
fact that Hackensack is superbly located
for the city worker who is looking for A
suburban place in which TO have per-
manent home. The transportation is Of
the best. We have two up-to-date trolley
lines, with rapid transit facilities. Be
sides, we have two steam roads. with
trains every few minutes most OF the day.
Last year We spent $1,000 on good
roads and $500 on parks. AS TO munich
pal utilities. we are anticipating the build
ing of a new sanitary sewer.
I'VE have recently erected a very large
grammar school and enlarged two of the
other schools. We have four grammar
schools and one high school. We have
now under consideration a new high
school TO cost 10000. Also. an addition

tifully kept by the municipal authorities
and has every city Improvement. This
section has never been given wide pub
licity, probably for two reasons One is
that no one concern has ever been heav-
fly enough interested TO develop the HI
section-that Is. up TO the present time.
Another is that without great deal OF
effort there has been a very steady,
healthy growth and constant building in
the district.

Money was in active demand, merchants bor- rowing heavily. Initial trading in stocks again lacked foreign influence by reason of London's protracted holi- day. Leading issues showed a declin- ing tendency. In the final hour the market made full recovery and in many instances rose q point or more. Exceptions Were found in the express companies which were lower on ac count of the rate reductions ordered by the interstate commerce commission and Mexican National Railway pre- ferred, which weakened on the sus- pension of dividends for first preferred. Local money conditions were slightly firmer, the later maturities stiffening. The bond market was irregular with
