MEANS CONTINUANCE OF HIGH TAXES.

The Board of Freeholders, by one
vote, Monday, rejected the project
of taking over as county road the
old Bergen Turnpike, toll road eX-
tending from Hackensack through
the Boroughs of Little Ferry, Ridge
field Park, Ridgefield, and Fairview
to the Hudson county line.
The Turnpike is owned by the Pub
lie Service Corporation, who not only
operate it as a toll road, but main
tain a trolley service thereon, run
ming from Hoboken to North Hack
ensack.
The Public Service agreed to turn
over the road to the county for the
nominal sum of 81 and to guarantee
the payment of the bonded indebted
ness, amounting to $1,000,000, with
interest.
Freebooter Harrop assailed the
measure in a most bitter manner, and
offered maps of a parallel road which
he asked the Freeholders to consider
before voting on the taking over of
the Turnpike.
Before beginning his TRADE, the
Freebooter asked permission of the
chair to question ex-senator E. w
Wakelee, who represented the Public
Service in the matter.
"Mr. Wakelee," he asked, "does the
Engineering Department of the Pub
lie Service examine the bridges ovel
the HackensacK river and OverpecE
creek and report back to the com
pany?"
"They do" replied Mr.. Wakelee.
Mr.. Harrop then asked for the ma
ture of this report, to which the eX-
Senator said he could not give the
purport, but that there was nothing
more carefully guarded than bridges
over which trolley cars pass"
"Has not the War Department adj.
vocated that those two bridges be
torn DOWN." asked the Freebooter.
Mr.. Wakelee again responded il
the negative, saying he had no knowl.
edge of such a recommendation OF
of any law that would cover such 6
recommendation of the War Depart,
ment.
Getting little or no satisfaction
from the ex-senator the Freebooter
then condemned the bridges, tht
roadway, the corporation, county
finances, the road committee and
most everything that might concern
the taking over of the property.
Mr.. Harrop said that he did not
believe the two bridges meet re-
quirements when heavy cars go over
them; that they were narrow and
offered congestion to travel. He spoke
of the dangerous grade crossing at
the Little Ferry station and said
that viaduct or underground cross
ing would have to be constructed at
that point in few years at an
enormous cost.
"a conservative estimate of the
cost to tn county in acquiring that
property will be over a half million
of dollars" he declared, "and it's fair
to say $800,000."
Mr.. Harrop questioned the width
of the roadway and said that two
tracks on that thoroughfare will
practically eliminate vehicle traffic.
1t would be cheaper to construct
your own right of way, and the
speaker advocated the taking over
of Moonachie road, running east from
jackson street, Hackensack, to Little
Ferry and then south to the Pater-
son Plank road.

The report from Cairo that Djamai

Christmas day by insubordinate

that no serious offensive against
