Edgewater Library
Making Progress

After two years of investigation
and negotiation between Edgewater's
Library Trustees, on the one hand,
and the Carnegie Foundation on the
other, the Borough of Edgewater was
rendered, on March 25, with dona-
ton of $4,000 for the creating of
a new library building, according to
the Edgewater Civic Record. The
conditions of this award were that
Edgewater should procure a suitable
site; have architectural plans salts
factory to the Foundation; and pledge
itself to the perpetual support of the
library.
On April 6, the Foundations offer
was accepted. A highly desirable site
was secured half way up the Palisades
at the corner of Hudson and Under
cliff avenues.
The building will probably be ready
for use by September or October.

Auto And Wagon On
Palisade Ave. Collide

A helper on a peddler's wagon
sustained very painful injuries last
Saturday afternoon when an auto
mobile belonging to Jersey City
steamship agency collided with his
wagon on Palisade avenue above
Bender's Hotel, throwing him from
his seat to the roadway and causing
him to break his nose and to badly
bruise his face and head. The in
jured man was hurried to the North
Hudson Hospital in the auto that
caused the collision, where his wounds
were treated and he allowed to return
home. The driver of the machine re-
turned to Cliffside and reported the
accident to the police; he was placed
under arrest by Patrolman McKenna
and later released for hearing be-
fore Recorder Hinners.
The accident is said to have been
caused when the driver of the auto
after passing the peddler's wagon, at
tempted to swing his machine into
the middle of the road and in doing
so struck the rear wheel of the
wagon showing it to one side and
throwing its occupants to the ground.

door, where upon they discovered that
there was good deal of glass strewn
about the kitchen floor. Mr.. Holt
was Immediately seized with over
towering detective instincts, and
made tracks for the front door, which
he discovered standing ajar. Mrs.
Holt was sure that she had fastened
it when she entered, and her friend
seconded the motion.
A search about the house revealed
the fact that the burglars had visited
only one room. Mr.. Holt didn't feel
as if he had had his moneys worth,
because in all the burglar stories he
had read, the house was always full
of all sorts of evidences of pillage,
and here he had had a real robbery
committed and the rugs weren't even
disturbed. His theory was that their
home coming had scared the thieves
off before they had had time to do
their worst. He said he thought that
the burglars had either fled by the
back door as he drove the car up
n front of the house, or that they had
waited until Mrs. Holt had entered
the house, and had then left by the
front door,
Most of the goods taken were in the
shape of old family heir-looms, things
upon which it is difficult to place a
value. Mr.. Holt said he thought that
the loss would amount to about $500.
His insurance will cover this.

Mrs. King Dies
After Short Illness

A death that has caused grief and
sorrow among large part of Cliff
sides population occurred on Sunday
afternoon when Mary King, of River
view place, wife of Patrolman Thomas
King and daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Rouan, of Cliff street, passed
out of this life after very short i'll
ness.
The deceased was a resident of the
borough for more than a score of
years and enjoyed the respect and
good wishes of all who knew her.
Although she had been complaining
of illness for more than month few
of her friends knew that her condi-
ton was serious, and it was not until
week ago that she was taken to her
bed. The cause of her illness was
ascribed to a complication of erysipe-
las and la grippe and although medi-
cal science strove valiantly, the
patient sank gradually, peacefully
passing off into Inconsistencies be-
fore the end came.
A solemn high requiem mass was
celebrated at St. Johns Roman
Catholis Church on Wednesday morn
ing at ten o'clock following which
interment took place in Holy Name
Cemetery, Jersey City. Mrs. King is
survived in addition to her husband
and parents, by her sisters, Mrs.
Quigley, Catherine, Margaret, and
Della and by her brothers John,
Thomas, Daniel and Joseph, all resi-
dents of Cliffside.

Hoboken's Coming
Bright White Way

A white way for Hoboken is the
next step in the spotless town and
bright city movement in the land.
Plans to this end were filed on Thurs
day of this week with Director of
streets and Public improvements
Londrigan.
Recently the Hudson Observer pub
lished interviews with prominent mer-
chants along Washington and First
as unanimously in favor of the pro-
prosed lighting improvement. Since
this time, Manager Edward Walsh,
of the Hoboken office of the Public
Service Lighting Corporation has been
working on plans for this improve
ment.
These plans are, essentially, for
lights every twenty-five feet from
First to Fourteenth streets on Wash
ington street. They provide for the
removal of all wooden poles, and re-
placing them with ornamental ones.
The First street wires will be under
ground. There will be three or more
lights in each block.
The expense of this lighting i'm
provement has been the hindrance
in the past. Now the City Commits
sion have declared themselves to a
man in favor of it. The cost will not ex-
coed $4,000 a year. 1t is estimated
that the proposed improvement will
cost about $4,000.
If the project works out success
fully, the Fourth of July will see a
grand celebration in honor of this
signal advance in the city's civic
adornment.

Dear Sir:
If there is any man in town who

he need go no further than West Pail
SADIE to satisfy his desire for the
sport. On the western slope there is
family of hawks who are raising
havoc among our song birds. Do il
now and protect our feathered
friends.
While l am at this typewriter
would like to call the attention of the
Palisade folk to one other matter
our trees. We have beautiful trees
but slowly they are thinning out
particularly along Bluff road. This
gradual thinning out is not the result
of building on the plot, but is being
done for the sake of fuel. Large
green trees as well as saplings are
slowly but surely finding their way
into hands who have no right to them
The evil doors have been found work
ing late at night and in early morn

facts, but need the cooperation of
the town.
Yours very truly,

interest in purebred stock and thus
lay the foundation for successful live
stock raising in the state.
The time designated for this place
is s am. to IL noon. Every farmer
in this section should turn out and
see the purebred and registered beef
and dairy cattle, several breeds of
hogs, and Percheron horses. They
will also see very interesting exhibits
of feedsuffs that is profitable to grow
IN Georgia. What the speakers will

nothing else

will be distributed free and all the
time that experts have at a place will
be gladly given to answering ques-

tiles in Georgia with satisfaction.
Those who did not get to the state
fair will have one of the most instruct

part in farming, there will be found
the most fertile lands and most sue
