County Clerk
Thompson Is
Conplirnented

81 know of no County Clerks Of
flee in the whole state of New Jersey
that handles with such efficiency and
promptness the work of the County
Clerk in all the different departments
as your office handles it. | take par
ticular care to write you this because
| believe in good work regardless of
politics, and as you know, you and l
are of opposite political faiths" SO
writes Wayne Dumont, Attorney at
Law, of Paterson, N. j., to Charles
F. Thompson, County Clerk.
Truly high tributes to a deserving
public official.
Will Merit be Recognized?
1t is not usually "The Reviews
custome to engage in a discussion of
the personal side of political issues,
especially when the subject may be
regarded as one that in its final
analysis must be disposed of by the
voters of one political persuasion or
another, but the contest that threatens
to develop on the Democratic side of
the fence for the nomination of a
candidate for County Clerk just at
this time when the county is waver-
ing on the Threshold of a new era,
is more than party matter, rather
approaching the magnitude of a
question of public Importance.
During his incumbency of the
County Clerks office for the past two
and one-half years, Mr.. Thompson
has unquestionablly brought that Of
flee up to a high standard of effici-
ency and has not tolerated within it
any act that would lend to the office
the slightest appearance of being a
political prize. His work did not end
with his election, but upon assum-
ing office he instituted new methods
that have given the patrons of the
office 100 per cent. of service, saved
money and put the Bergen County
Clerks office at the head of the list
of county clerks offices in the state.
1t is the business of the people to
keep efficient men in public office, and
just now it is the business of the
Democracy of Bergen County to see
that they are the means of serving
the best interests of the public by re-
nominating Mr.. Thompson. Besides
this, he is probably the only avail
able candidate who can give reason
able assurance of winning the Office
for the Democrats this year. "Satur-
day Review"

Union Hill Now Has
itney Bus Express

Union Hill may have been late in
adopting the jitney bus idea, but it
has innovated the latest in this fast
est growing industry in the world.
The jitney bus express will probably
set the express company by the ears
as it has apparently driven the Public
Service frantic.
The jitney bus express will be
started in Union Hill with the tempt
ing offer to merchants, business men
and other shippers to carry their
packages to any point in the county
for ten cents. Any package weigh
ing up to twenty-five pounds will be
carried from the extreme end of the
county to the other end for only ten
cents. Any package will be delivered
anywhere in Union Hill for five cents.
The next car will begin it's opera
lions by three North Hudson trans
portation experts who are now MAX
ing arrangements to be Incorporated
under the name of the Dime Package
and Delivery Company. The members
of this corporation will be Edward A.
Miller, of 223 Second street, Union
Hill; r. w. Krause, of Park avenue
and Second street, Weekawken, and
William J. Miller, of 210 Hudson ave-
nue., Union Hill.
The bus express will be started by
August l. The new company has Sc
cured six Ford delivery cars which
will be placed into service in such a
manner as to cover the entire county.
One of the cars will start it's tour
at Avenue A, Bayonne, where it will
begin to pick up packages and travel
to the Greenville Schuetzen Park
section.
The next car will begin its opera
tons at Newark avenue, Jersey City,
and will cover many streets until it
reaches Greenville Schuetzen Park,
where it will connect with the car
which covers that section.
The next car will start at the

Europe Or America.

For "The Palisadian"
The European struggle today is for
the maintenance of an inverted COVER
mental pyramid that is not based on
popular thought, popular action, and
popular independence; but on sword
leadership and the asendancy and
glamor of a military and privileged
class.
The structure of our American in
dependent self covering nation is also
like a hugh pyramid; built from the
ground up, and on the impregnable
rock of justice, humanity and law;
and all the people are Unidentified in
it's strength even to it's summit. This
structure of a complete democracy is
forever permanent and indestruct-
able.

a particle. The work had been done
and the money disbursed with moth
ing to show for it.
Both Messrs. Ridgeway and O'Con-
nor discouraged the idea of litigation,
and yet, as the former said, "We've
got to take action; and here is the
place to take it"
A minority of the board has been
persistently calling for the engaging
of special engineers Boyer q Mccain,
of Hoboken, to make a detailed re-
port on the condition of the disposal
plant. These were the engineers
recommended by Mr.. Rutherford B..
Walker at previous meeting.
Councilman O'Connor thereupon
made motion calling for the engag-
ing of the aforementioned engineers
for the purpose stated, the expense
of investigation not to exceed $500
Councilman Noon seconded the mo-
ton. The motion was unanimously
carried, although Acting Mayor
Ridgeway, in explaining his apparent
objection to the action, said that he
felt that Attorney Hart should have
been notified previous to taking the
steps. He now suggested that the
attorney be notified of the same.
The Clerk was requested to notify
Boyer & Mccain of their engage
ment as special engineers. Upon
resolution offered by Councilman
O'Connor, Chief of Police Rene was
ordered to have the borough's police
collect all stray goats and other wild
animals, that is, running wild, and
impound them, as per the offer of
Mayor Lyon at the previous meet
ing in the latter's yard, or else tied
to the fence This was carried.
In few concluding remarks, Act
ing Mayor Ridgeway said solemnly
that every member sitting around the
table was willing to assume respon-
sibility for the difficulty in the sewer
situation; and that each and all of
them were to blame for the failure
of the plant up to the present mo-
ment.
The meeting then adjourned until
the next regular meeting, Wednesday,

When Charles Logan was outing

Greenwood Lake he stopped his car
and asked an old farmer,
"Can you tell me where this road
goes?"

the farmer, "and l amt never seen it

as bone.

asked the boy editor.
"Wall, I callate that if you follow
the road and your nose it'll come
pretty nigh landin' we right back
where we are standin' now, but we kin
go to Greenwood Lake this way"
And Charles drove on!

Competition En- Route
Life O. Trade
In Auto Business

1t was a hot day, part of last Sun
day-especially up to noon. A Pail
SADIE auto party had taken the lovely
Essex road out of Hackensack to
Paterson, had wound around through
the mazes of street cars and traffic
pug '..G4!o MIS-, 9ql 10 4Ieoq oql u!
and had taken start and gotten
two thirds up the long, curving, very
steep, -miles-long hill to the
northwest of that town.
"Say," said an occupant Of the
car" amt you kind O. skiddin' like ?"
"Naw," answered the driver, "She's
in second speed, and pulls so hard
the wheels slip in their tracks-just
like a locomotive on wet rails. That
isn't skidding she's doing. Its just
power"
Nevertheless, the other occupants
watched the drivers antics at con-
trolling the steering wheel, and he
had his hands full while they were
cumming around. When the top of
the hill was reached the young man
stopped the car and slowly remarked.
"Well, I'll be doggone! I've got
puncture."
Sure enough, the right rear wheel
was down!
Elk it in fifteen minutes" said
the young man. "That's what was
the matter coming up that long hill.
| came up on flat tire"
The process of putting in a new
tube was not more than half through
when-bang!
Chats that left front tire"
said the driver. 81 thought it was
weak" he added. "And the worst
of it is, we have only one inner tube,
and I've used that on this rear pune
ture." A blow-up standing still!
The trouble had occurred right in
front of farm house-a very nice
looking home it was, built of brown
stone, with a broad veranda on the
road side.
MAY we use your telephone to
find garage MANI" asked the car
owner, going to the farm house door,
where he met an elderly lady. "I'll
pay for it."
ooh, use it all you want to-" she
answered. at won't cost us any more
than we have to pay anyhow"
Pretty soon-in half an hour-a
Paterson garage man drove up with
two tubes and tire of right size.
GLOW much for the tire?"
"That's a non-skid tread-only one
we had on hand, and I'll give it to
you for exactly cost-seventeen dol
lars. It's genuine bargain, the best
make, nothin' better anywhere, and
you'll miss pickup if you don't
take it. Indeed, we've been in the
tire business long while, and them
tires gives universal satisfaction"
"Say, SEEM you're in so much
trouble with two puncts, I'll make
the tubes bargain, too. Just make
them four twenty apiece, and take
'em along. You'll need 'em, mister,
you'll need 'em. These mountain
roads out to Greenwood Lake is some
rough in spots. Them tubes is as
good as any we ever sell and we
amt maxim no profit on We, mister,
at that"
"Well, that's all right" said the
owner, chow much do we owe you
for your trouble?" handing him over
the money.
Competition is so strong now, we
feel that we owe you somethin' for
calm US up. We've got to make a
livin', and we've got to be accom-
modatin'. No, wouldn't think O
chargin' nothin' for my time"
And to think! That same party in
Nyack two years ago had to pay
fifteen dollars for one inner tube!
