Mrs. Elizabeth Began, aged 70,
died in st. Mary's Hospital in Hobo
ken on Monday morning. The de-
ceased, despite her age always en-
joyed perfect health and was in the
best of spirits when she retired on
Friday night. Shortly before mid
might she was sliced with great pain
and her cries awoke her son, Frank,
who slept in an adjoining room. A
physician was summoned and advised
her removal to the hospital at once.
At the hospital an operation was per-
formed for appendicitis, from which
the patient never rallied and gradu-
ally sank until death came early on
Monday. The funeral was held on
Wednesday morning from the home
of her son Frank on Lawton avenue,
Grantwood with whom she lived. A
funeral mass was celebrated at st.
Johns r. C. Church by Father Fer
retti after which interment took place.

BENDER DEPLORES
ELECTION RESUL +.
Condition of BOrOugh's Finan-
ces did not Justify
ErtrdUaQance.
Extravaganza,

Freebooter Walter Bender, when
interviewed this week in regard to
the outcome of the recent school cleo
ton, said:
eve don't know what taxes are
in Cliffside yet. The decision of
the borough on January Goth to
bond itself to the extent of $102-
900 to procure the beginnings of a
new high school plant was arrived
at with the aid of persons in the
borough, and the surrounding bor-
oughs, who had no legal right to
VOTE Cliffside Park will be paying
for the education, or partly so, Of the
children of West New York, Gutten-
berg and other boroughs.
Principal Bray says that the ex-
pense of this high school education
will be borne by the $50 buttons of
the five hundred out of town students,
or a tuition income of $4,000.
"Well, how many rooms, and how
many teachers will be needed for this
small army of pupils Say twenty
five teachers at $1,000 year, and
another addition to the building
plans. What sort of a corps of high
school teachers can we hope to get
at that price? And then the expense
of maintaining the plant, and the
payment of the principal and inter-
est on the bonds-why, the people
don't realize what they have done in
voting to put themselves under this
additional burden. Remember there
is still a 100000 sewer to be paid for;
and even at that, it is only half a
sewer.
"Cliffside has never denied the
privilege of the highest education to
all children whose parents could af-
ford it."
Mr.. Bender was asked about a ru-
NOR which has been current that
the school election of January goth
would be contested on the ground of
illegal voting. He replied by ask
ing: "What's the use? Just so much
more time would be wasted; the peo-
pie have voted on the proposition
three times now, and have legally
declared in favor of it. There is
nothing more to do but carry out
their decree. Nevertheless the cleo
ton was not right; not fair"
(Note:-Mr. Bender went far out
of his way to say these things. No
outside votes were cast for Grant
woods site. But fifty voters were
challenged who wanted to vote for
the Cliffside site, but who did not
note vote because of the perjury
hanging over a false affidavit. TIC
call an election mot right, not fair
because it was declared in favor OF
Mr.. Bender is tommyrot. 1t was ff1
right when the other two elections
went his way.-Ed.)

ENGL EWOOD HIGH
SCHOOL NOTES.

1t is only natural that the people of
Palisade should show profound in
terest in the high school proceedings
of our neighboring borough because
in a few years there will be a large
number of Palisade children ready to
enter upon their high school work
However, the work of the Palisade
pupils now at high school should not
be lost sight of.
The majority of the boys and girls
of Palisade who are engaged in high
school work are attending Englewood
High School. Nine go up from Pal
isade each morning. 1t has been no.
ticed of late that the Palisadians are
playing an important part in the
school life in both athletic and non
athletic activities.
