tSIBLEY APPOINTED
HIGH SCHOOL ARCHITECT.

The Cliffside Park Board of Educ
alton on Friday night appointed Mr..
Ernest Sibley architect for the pro-
posed new high school.
"A strong plea for allowing such a
large public building contract to be
submitted to an open competition was
made by Mr.. Hugh Roberts of Jersey
City, secretary of the New Jersey
chapter of the American Institute of
Architects. Mr.. C. w. Fairweather,
a local architect, also asked permiss-
ion of the Board to submit COMPETE
tive plans.
However, upon motion of Mr.. Ban
vile, that Mr.. Sibley be appointed
architect, the Board was polled, and
the result was that Messrs Banville,
Kelly and Timony voted in favor of
the appointment, and Messrs Conroy
and Herschler answered mot voting,

about a score of citizens met in Mr..
Goemanns drug store for the purpose
of resurrecting the long dormant Citi-
zen's Committee in order to in turn
merge it with the recently created

latter committee of thirty-seven was
largely instrumental in turning the
tide of victory oward the central high
school propositions in last weeks
election.
The future mission of the commit
tee will be to discuss all questions
pertaining to the community's well
fare and to safeguard it's best inter
ests. One of the earliest questions of
living interest will be the selection
of the most prominent eligible candi-
dates for the school election on March
10Th.

TRINITY MEMS
CLUB MEETING.
Creation of Borough Bank Pro-
pOsed-- Major McCiuDe Pre-
sents VieUs on Vital Issues.

The Mems Club of Trinity Church
considered many matters of public
interest at their meeting on Thursday
night in the Guild Hall.
Perhaps the subject that reused
the keenest interest was that intro
duced by Councilman Sammis, who
was present as guest: that of
founding borough bank, to be known
preferably as national or state
bank of Cliffside Park. Coming from
the Councilman, the proposition was
of peculiar significance, as Mr. Sam
mis-, in his position of borough chair
man of finance, is the expert of the
community in matters of money and
banking.
1t was explained that there was no
bank in the whole Palisades section
between Gutenberg and Fort Lee,
and that bank as nearly central as
possible in the settled portion between
these points would fill a great need,
and would instantly command enough
support to insure it's success.
Major McClave proposed that the
Palisadian be requested to invite,
through it's columns, communications
from its readers expressing their
views on the question of borough
bank. The Major also introduced
other subject of discussion, as the
Hudson River bridge, and others. He
read petitions, for which he later re-
ceived numerous signatures, for the
improvement of Winterburn Grove,
and the establishing of continuous
trolley service from the Palisade troll
ley line to Edgewater Ferry.
Other subjects discussed were the
creating Of a road through the woods
just east of the newly voted school
site connecting Riverview avenue with
Edgewatsr road; creating a greater
city of the Palisades; mosquito ex-
termination; and the providing of the
new high school with facilities for
the more manual and industrial sub
jects.

PALISADES WIRELESS
TELEGRAPH OPERA TOR.

James Woolcott is a regular wire
less operator now. He has been work.
ing steadily on his outfit for almost
a year. He has slowly but surely
mastered the intricacies of the code
and is able to hold conversations with
many New York Ciy boys. He went
over to the Brookln Navy Yard last
week and by successfully passing an
examination, received a certificate
making him a registered amateur
radio operator. He then went to the
Custom House and received license
for his station His official call is
"2 A B CO. James has very strong
plant, and he is able to pick up mes
sages from several hundred miles
around. He hears Arlington, the
Navy station at Washington, every
night. That station sends out the
time at ten o'clock, and so James
keeps his watch right on the dot.

WOIMEN'S CIVIC
DEPARTMENT MEETING.
Chicken Ordinance Enforcement
Discussed-- Child Labor Bill
Postponed Mosquito Meet
ing Postponed.

The Civics Department of the
Woman's Club of Cliffside Park held
their monthly meeting, last Tuesday
at the home of Mrs. Edwin LIE Cato
in Lincoln avenue. The chairman,
Mrs. George B. Donaldson, presided.
The meeting was well attended and
enthusiastic.
Among other matters of civic i'm
portance and interest which were con-
sidered We're the enforcement of the
borough's Chicken Ordinance; action
on the recommendations of the Ma
tional Child Labor Committee, the is
suing of trolley transfers at Palisade
Junction; and arrangements for the
proposed mosquito campaign.
Satisfaction was expressed at the
action of the Council at it's last
meeting in ordering fifty copies of
the Chicken Ordinance printed on
linen and posted conspicuously about
the borough. The Department claim
ed credit for the creation of the ordi-
nance, originally, as it was through
their efforts that the County Clerk,
and the Council of Ridgefield Park
had been interested in the matter,
and a copy of the latter's model ordi-
nance supplied.
The movement for such an ordi-
nance had started as result of many
complaints against chicken owners.
The procedure of the Department
was, upon the receipt of complaints
by the secretary, to notify the police
commissioner, emitting, however,
names of violaters, and requesting
ahat the latter enforce the ordinance;
the viotators to obey or submit to
fine.
At Tuesdays meeting of the De-
partment, appreciation was expressed
of the local governments considerable
treatment of this recommendations
as we'll as was the desire to cooperate
in all ways possible with the govern
ment in the enforcement of ordinan-
ces.
The Department decided to send
communication to the Congressman
of the District asking his support Oh,
the bill about to be presented by the
National Child Labor Commission.
The decision was also made to follow
up the movement, begun last spring
with the Public Service Corporation,
for the granting of trolley transfers,
by appointing a committee to confer
with them.
It was further decided to hold the
postponed meeting for the consider
alton OF mosquito determination some
time in February, depending upon
the convenience of the County Mos
quito Commissioner. This will he
partly social meeting to which hus-
bands of members will be invited.

Boon From Taxpayers.
ev. Alfred c.. Church said:

Rev. Alfred C. Church said:
9TH rsult of the school election is
a glorious victory. 1t is a victory for
the best sentiment of the borough.
1t is good and right and best. It was
my privilege to speak to the boys and
girls of our high school the other day.
| emphasized the fact that although
the voters had twice, previously,
squelced the movement for new high
school facilities, feeling that their
taxation burdens were already too
great, yet they had finally decided
that the opportunity for lettering the
community by voting the school was
too great to be allowed to escape.
Now, that the taxpayers had granted
the boon to the boys and girls, the
latter should make special effort
to SOW their appreciation, and their
determination to do all they could
toward the educational uplift of the
locality"

w. s. RILEY'S CONDITION
VERY SERIOUS.

The condition of W. S. Riley, who
has been i'll for many months, is criti-
cal, and while hope has not been
abandoned, he is regarded by his
physicians and all as in an extremely
dangerous condition. His patience
has been remarkable. On Thursday
afternoon he expressed a desire to
see Rev. Lee w. Beattie, who has been
a warm friend. Several blood trans
fusions have been given him, but so
far without apparent benefit.

THE ENGLEWOOD HIGH
BASKET BALL TEAM.

Englewood High School has devel-
oped one of the most remarkable
boys basketball teams that has ever
existed in this section of he country.
It's record is of more han passing in
crest to Palisadians because two of it's
boys, Paul Brady and George Beck
mann, are on the team.
The team plays its most important
game of the season to-day a Passaic.
The championship of the Northern
New Jersey Interscolastic League vir
tually depends on this game, for Pas
sale has one of the strongest teams
in the history of the school. Thel
are five teams in the League: Engle-
wood, Passaic, Rutherford, Hacken-
sack, and Nutley The Englewood
five has succeeded in defeating Nut
ley and Rutherford twice and Passaic
once, inf1icting upon the latter team
its only defeat of he season. How
ever, the score was 29-28, and a
closer game than ever is looked for
to-day on the enemy's court. If En-
glewood wins his game, he champion
ship will practically be theirs, because
both Hackensack games are regarded
as easy victories; but if Passaic wins,
a lie for he final honors will in all
probability result.
The Englewood team has been to-
gether for three years now, and the
players understand each other per-
fectly. Tis year, the team has suf-
fered in only one game, it's first of
the season, played AGAINST thu strong
Dickinson High School five at Jersey
City. That team only won by sin
gle basket after bitter struggle, the
score being 25-23. Since hat time
the Englewood boys have won six
cen games in row, probably setting
up a record which will never b.
equaled. Among its victims are Bar
nard twice, and they claim the private
schools championship of New York
Erasmus Hall by a score of So
and Dickinson at Englewood by ;
score of 1913.

VIEWS ON
SCHOOL ELECTION.
DIR. GOemann On the Election.

Mr.. Goemann said:
''At last we have won. | have
heard some talk of the result of the
school election being contested, by the
opponents of the proposition. The
school board has nothing to fear on
this score.
''The election of January 10Th was
in every way legal, President Whelan
having been in touch with the author
tiles at Trenton on that day. The cleo
ton was conducted under instructions
which he received from them.
''1'he board has the power to buy
or condemn the property voted on.
A few legal points are yet TO be SET
tied, and then the board will proceed
with the whole matter Of creating the
new high school. They will have a
meeting in the near future.

Darbys Once More
Worried By Burglars.

The Samuel E. Darbys of Palisade
have had another burglar scare this
week. The intruder was scared off
this time, however, and a third rob-
berry prevented. When interviewed
by "Palisadian" reporter, Mrs.
Darby said:
II had just turned out the lights in
my room early last Tuesday morning
preparatory to retiring, when l +,
membered that my alarm clock was
not set. l stepped into the library
to get the time. 1t was half past one.
Icame back into my room and stepped
over to the window to set the clock by
the glare of the street light. AS l
did so, l noticed man of about the
same general build as Captain Darby,
and wearing heavy overcoat and a
SLOUGH hat, standing on the corner.
bwatched him, and in few moments,
he darted across the street, and up on
the porch.
81 telephoned for the officers and
called Edgar, my son. We went down
stairs, and in an incredibly short time
the officers arrived. They surround
ed the house, and searched the prem
Uses, but no trace of the man was
found except his footsteps in the snow
Policeman Heff posted a sentinel who
kept watch over the house until four
o'clock a. M.
"This man who came Tuesday morn
ing was of the same appearance as a
beggar who called here the day after
the last robbery. He came on that
occasion asking for something to eat.
When l refused him that, he pulled
out some shoe strings, of which l
purchased a pair. l then told him
that i had been robbed the night be-
fore, and that if he didn't get out of
town, | would have him arrested. He
Immediately set off up Washington
avenue toward Fort Lee. When he
reached Central boulevard he was
joined by man about a head taller
than he, who came out of the woods.
'The two boarded car for Fort Lee,
and l Immediately telephoned to the
Borough Police Station to try to get
an officer to meet the car at Main
Street. But to my surprise and in
dignation, there was no one at the
station; or if there was, he did not an
swer the phone.
another coincidence is the fact that
these two men answer to the decsript-
ion of two men whom Mr.. Giles saw
at the corner of Bride way and Cum
bermede on he evening of the rop-
berry"
When asked about the mode of en-
trance which the gentlemen Of theft
used, Mrs. Darby said:
"You may say for me that we are
absolutely positive that pass key
was the method by which the burg
lars entered. We are thoroughly con-
WINGED that the jimmied window was
raised from the inside to conceal the
actual way in which the robbers came
in"
