citation, which will be held in the pub
lie school in Palisades Park, Thursday
evening, March 10, and it is likely
that the long talked-of interlocking
police system will be put under way
Sheriff Heath has appointed We'd
nesday evening, March "a, as the
date for the first conference with the
police officers appointed by the
Mayors of the various communities
represented in this Association.
This will be gratifying to the people
of the entire county, and especially
to those in the eastern section, which
is exposed to the danger of visit from
the thieves and hoboes who drift from
New York at the opening of spring.
There have been numerous robber-
les in all parts of Eastern Bergen
lately, and past experiences show
there is likely to be an increase in the
number as the warm weather comes
on. Delay in establishing the new
system of warfare against thievery
and HOUSEKEEPING has been partly
due to the desire OF some of the Bor-
oughs to reorganize their police for

accomplished, and the Boroughs are
prepared to heartily cooperate with
the sheriff in protecting the public.
Mayor Huyler, of Tenafy, has sug-
gested that the country should pur
chase several high-class dogs and put
them in the care of the sheriff so that
they will be available for the use at a
moments notice. Mr.. Huyler belier es
this would be much more economical
than putting each community to the
expense of keeping its own dogs. 1t
would also be just as practicable
Sheriff Heath agrees with him.
" 1t would be a fine thing if the
county owned several dogs" said
Sheriff Heath. "The season is COM
ing on when they will be needed. [
have been kept on the jump lately
looking for robbers who find it easy
to reach Bergen County from New
York | am convinced that when the
communities of our county begin a
real system of cooperation between
themselves and with the Sheriff's
office you will find good results will
be obtained. The surer you make
the chance of capture the more effect
i've it will be soaring these undesir-
ables away from the county. The
shown in the recent Haworth robbery.
The Sheriff's office was notified. We
called up Englewood. Englewood
called up Tenafly and the robbers
were caught"
Prosecutor Huckin has promised to
attend the conference of the peace
officers at the Sheriff's office and
also the meeting of the Eastern Ber-
gen County Improvement Association
at Palisades Park on March IS. Judge
Seufert has taken great interest in
the Association and in the proposed
interlocking police system, and he is
expected to attend both meetings.

The secretary hopes the Mayors
who have not made appointments will
forward the names at the earliest
date.
Another matter of great import
ance to come before the next meeting
is the proposed "clean up" campaign
to be made against the tin cans ano
other accumulations of the winter ir
back yards and vacant lots. So much
interest has been taken in the move
for "spotless Bergen" that it is
likely to spread all over the county
"a Spotless Bergen" is good slogan
for her people. And it is probable
that the campaign to be opened this
year will become so popular that Ma!
18th and 18th will become established
as the clean up days of every year.
The Secretary has forwarded letter:
to the MAYORS of more than thirty
