Editor "Palisadian,"
Dear Sir:
In your editorial on mayor White
Consents"-to run for second term
you have struck the keynote on
which the present political cam
paign for mayor and councilmen as
well may he run to the certain adj
vantage of the Borough of Fort Lee.
The note you sound that PARTY
politics in small municipal govern
ment have no right of existence"
and; "The voters" will give
the answer on Mayor White, should
ensure the borough a better mayor
than it yet has had.
A n-partisian-a citizens'-can-
didate for mayor in opposition to
Mayor Whites candidacy, as Demo-
crat, could enter the campaign, let
ting "the dead past bury it's Dead"
partisanship being eliminated, with
but little chance of the short-com-
ings of previous political regimes
being stirred up, as there probably
would be, if an out-and-out Republi-
can is set up in opposition to Mayor
Whites aspirations to second term,
when he and his party hackers would,
perforce, start in dissecting his vul-
nerable record, on which you so
poignently say: "He must stand
alone" for then Mayor Whites bench
men, through their "fine hand" seen
in his public utterances, and their
individual efforts, in self-defence, or
in determinations of his marked
shortcomings, and over-reachings,
too, would in striking back "rake up
the questionable records of predeces-
sors;" all of which "airing of dirty
linen" would we'll be eliminated, and
to the advantage of all partisan in
terests, and the material we'll being
of the borough as well.
Edward A. White, without record,
and unknown in the politics of the
borough-not even showing up at the
party gathering at which he was first
suggested as a candidate for Mayor
won out in the last campaign through
attacking the regime of his predeces-
sor. Now his plan, then employed,
can fairly be used against him, espe-
cially as his henchmen let no oppor-
tunity escape-in fact create such
to sing his praises, based on the rec
ord he has made, his much extolled
improved system of bookkeeping
bearing witness to it, as it is said;
but which, it is safe guess to make,
both by it's records and it's failures
in recording vital facts pertaining
to expenditures of public funds,
mainly as to road work, the prin-
ciple item of current expenses, con-
denim him to be ranked the biggest
failure of our several mayors.
Yours for betterment,
Cyrus Prosch.

week, the latter had consented to send
representatives. here to go over the
g. oand and mae report to the COM
pany. The conference had considered
the two separate propositions: 1, the
fencing in of the property; 2, the
building of a double roadway along
the tracks. MIR. Sammis said that
the upshot of the former matter was
that the company would not proceed
with it. In regard to the latter, they
would notify the council of their de-
cision.
Councilman Flood suggested that
the main object of the railroad was
to get the people to acknowledge
their line. President Sammis continu-
ing, said: GAS far as the road along
the tracks is concerned nothing at
all definite has been suggested yet.
There is reason to believe that if our
residents show sufficient interest in
the matter, something might be ac-
complished. Certain portions of the
railway strip might be considered
now, such as the piece from Columbia
avenue to Lafayette avenue, which
has shown a marked development as
a business center. 1t might be feas-
ible to make a roadway here twenty
five or thirty feet wide on each side
of the tracks. 1t is most desirable
that we have an attractive business
center for the borough. This section
could be carried southwark as a
double roadway to the Gorge road
trestle; and the work could be done
for comparatively slight expense.
From Gorge road south to Jersey
avenue the road need be only single"
An Objection Raised
Councilman Flood objected that it
was not fair and just to the people
of the town to think of undertaking
such extensive improvements at this
time. What should be done now was
for the lines to be laid now, and
after the adjacent lots had been sold,
the lot owners could lay the roads.
Mr.. Sammis interposed the sugges-
ton that the discussion was really
on his report of the conference. Moth
ing was planned to be done. The
question would be whether the people
would want the improvement. If not,
then of course, nothing would be done.
Mr.. Zimmerman said that the COM
pany intended having their engineer
and legal department inspect the en-
tire line. Mrs. Callaghan said that
the project would have the effect of
a condemnation of the property
along the line. Mr.. Flood good-na-
turedly remarked that Superintendent

Cadien Approves
Trolley Roadway

Councilman Cadien, candidate for

regard to his attitude on the double
avenueing of the trolley right of-way,
said: 81 am certainly in favor of the
project. Of course, that doesn't
mean that l think it will be possible
to put the plan through. Its big
proposition. The representatives of
the railroad were to be here this
week to examine into the matter, and
determine on it's feasibility. 1t is
possible that a plan may be worked
out whereby the accomplishment of
the scheme might be effected

President Sammis then interrupted
to say that the proper time for the
discussion of the matter would be at

Bolan had limited at four track rail-
laghan and her brother offered final
objection to the project saying that,
as property owners they were entirely
opposed to it, and wouldn't give one
cent to it.
In regard to the Palisade avenue i'm
provement, the council passed a reso-
luton appropriating $4,000 including
$1,000 from the County Commits
sioner, for the building of twenty
foot central pavement as far as it
would 90 from the southern end of
the avenue.
Contractor Fox, of the Bergen Con-
tracing Company said that they had
been disappointed in their calcula-
tons to complete the sewer outlet on
September l. In various ways they
had lost fourteen days time. On
motion of Councilman Zimmerman
this additional time was granted the
company.

The request of the three fire COM

month was granted. The date set
was Saturday evening, September %,
at o'clock. Besides this amount of
$225, the sewer improvement GER
tificate for $3,091 for six months at
6 per cent. was ordered renewed.
One thousand dollars was ordered
transferred to the school fund; ST.
500 was authorized by resolution for
the lower Palisade avenue improve
ment. The estimated distance was
from the Hudson county line to Bend
er's Hotel. Claims for services were
ordered paid for wood work, janitor's
service, police service, sewer inspec
ton and contracting work.
The contract for the sewer to con-
meet the fire hall with the Palisade
avenue line was awarded to the Ber-
gen Contracting Company for $245.
A communication was received from
Secretary L. F. Merrill, of the Ber-
gen county fair urging that the Dor
ough be as largely represented as
possible. The historical pageant
which had been considered, had been
given up on account of lack of time
for preparation.
Exception was taken by the coun-
Gil to the action of the Citizens Club
complaining to Prosecutor Huckin of
the Sunday saloon law violation in the
borough, before submitting the mat
ter to their own council.
The council then adjourned to meet
Monday evening, September IL.

Mr.. Goudey Kicks
At Condition OF
Knox Avenue
Editor of "The Palisadian,"

Editor of "The Palisadian,"
Dear Sir:
Following the exposure in "The
Palisadian" recently of the danger
Gus condition of the broken pavement
in the sidewalk on Lawton avenue, it
Was promptly put in a state of re-
pair. Now for Knox avenue. There
are places in the sidewalk there which
need repair badly. At any time there
is liable to be an accident because of
the breaks which have existed there
for months, notably on the northeast
side, not far from the trolley toward
Palisade avenue, also little further
down on the opposite side. And be-
sides these there is decidedly
shabby and ragged appearance in
parts where there are no residents to
keep the way in trim. Once this sum-
mer a few men with pickaxes and
hoes were observed on this avenue,
occupying a few hours each day for
successive days, mostly leaning on
their tools and gossiping, watching
passers-by and commenting on them.
However, it all comes in the bill for
the taxpayers. But in justice let it
be said that now and then they would
pick at the weeds in the road and
pull off the tops, and in course of
time they covered the distance from
the cliff to Palisade avenue. The
borders between the sidewalk and
curb were also trimmed somewhat,
but though cart came along and
took away such of the debris as was
pitched into it, large portion was
thrown against the bushes on the un-
cleared lots adjoining Knox avenue
and is there still-an offense and eye
sore to all who appreciate cleanliness
and order. Now, however, the weeds
are fourishing, and have so en-
croached on the pathway that pedes-
trains have to pick their way in single
file, and travelling is getting increas-
ingly precarious if not perilous be-
cause of the risk of being tripped up
by the tall weeds between the stones
of the sidewalk, especially when it is
dark. Whoever is responsible should
get to work.
