S. Leslie Doremus
Resigns From The
First National Bank

The news came like a bomb early
this week that S. Leslie Doremus,
cashier of the First National Bank,
Edgewater, had handed in his resigna-
ton to the Board of Directors to take
effect April 20.
Mr.. Doremus came to the bank from
the Northern New Jersey Trust Com
pany three years ago, since which
time the business of the National has
increased with great strides, owing
largely to the confidence which the
public felt for the head. During three
short years the deposits of the bank
more than doubled, reaching at one
time over million dollars, while
the banks business in the same time
trebled.
1t was believed, at the time Mr.
Doremus severed his connections with
the Northern New Jersey Trust Com
pany in 1912, that it was due to a
difference of opinion as to what was
the proper banking course for the
Trust Company to pursue. Shortly
after this came the July run" on
the bank.
In February, 1913, following upon
the sudden resignation of Teller
Highan of the First National a young
employee of the bank, Lowell by name,
was advanced to the post of teller,
which he held until April, 1910,
when he suddenly disappeared, to-
gether with $4,000 of the banks
cash. He was finally traced to a
prominent London hotel, and in Oc-
tober last was placed behind the bars
at Trenton, where he has been eve.
since awaiting trial. A week ago
last Saturday, a woman who figured
prominently in the case, and was in
strumental in the young mans down.
fall, Mrs. Munsen, was arrested in
San Francisco.
And now comes new misfortune
for the bank, which means also the
banks clientele, and scarcely less so
for the greater Palisades section, in
the resignation of it's genial and eff
ticient manager-cashier.
Great regret is expressed on all
sides at the losing from the bank
ing community of one of it's most out
standing figures. 1t is safe to say
the popular cashier has nothing but
regret to feel at the severance of the
familiar ties which have bound him to
the community 1t is understood that
Mr.. Doremus has no position into
which to step, but it cannot be doubted
that it will be but short time before
he finds himself in a probably more
important post than the late one of
cashier of the First National Bank,
Edgewater.

C]iffside Sewer
Outlet Assured

On Monday and Tuesday nights of
this week the final steps were taken
by the Cliffside and Edgewater gov
ernments toward the opening of the
upper borough's new sewer system
to the river. On Tuesday night, Edge
water council passed a resolution, in
effect, giving her sister borough the
legal right to run her sewer under
River road, in return for Cliffside's
constructing, in addition to her own
outlet, a separate parallel outlet for
Edgewater from River road to con-
meet with the present box sewer
Cliffside also to contribute $1,000
within ninety days, toward the repair
of the existing box sewer outlet; the
actual work of which and remainder
of expense was to be assumed by
Edgewater AS Mayor Wissel said
in support of the resolution, the
proposition meant the spending of
$9,472.79 on the work by Cliffside,
and a consequent saving of over
$4,000 to Edgewater.
At one time, the understanding had
been that aid might be expected from
the factories adjacent to the sewer
mouth, but that had not been forth
coming.
The resolution presented on Tues
day night, stipulated that the work
should be performed with all reason
able speed. 1t was passed unanim-
ously.

Make Cifside Park
A Beauty Spot

Forty persons gathered at Trinity
Guild Hall on Monday evening last
to listen to presentation of the sub
ject of modern town-planning. The
Mems Club had been fortunate enough
to secure the aid of a member OF
New York City's Planning Commits
sion, Mr.. McElfresh, who came
equipped with many stereoptican
slides of plans and views of the most
notable model town developments
Mr.. McElfresh pointed out, in many
instances, how Cliffside Park and the
adjacent communities could profit by
the examples shown.
The speaker indicated that the
great thing needed here, as in other
similar places, was cooperation. The
first step needed was the general in
terest OF the individual in the care of
his own property; not only for mis-
own satisfaction, but for the sake OF
his neighbors and the whole COM
munity. "a general cleanup is the
first requisite. Nature has blessed
your vicinity with two principal fea-
lures: your Hudson panorama, and
your beautiful woods. You should do
your utmost to guard and preserve
both.
"Of course, not great deal can be
done until the industrial and civic
conditions are such that financial sup
port will be forthcoming. An indus
trial development is now being con-
templated in the Hackensack meadows
which will have a marked effect on
your section. Transit conditions
locally, are far from what they should
be, but no immediate relief is to be
hoped for. A Fifty-seventh street
bridge costing $44,0O0,000 does not
seem much nearer realization. The
two tubes at $11 100000 seems the
much more likely solution.
Another development of tremend-
Gus Importance to your community
is North Hudson Park at your south
ern door. 1t will be necessary, how
ever, to make some radical improve
ment in the door itself. Some real
estate expert is needed in your south
end slums to buy them up, and de-
velope them properly. 1t is to be
hoped, too, that the persons who have
the most to say about the beautify-
ing of the Edgewater Ferry Terminal
will take advantage Of every oppor-
tunity, that presents itself, make this
door an adequate approach to your
communities.
Mr.. McElfresh presented delight
full views of some of the most import
ant American and foreign model town
developments.
Major McClave reported, in con-
nection with the petition for making
direct connection between the Palisade
Railroad and Edgewater Ferry, at q
single fare, that hearing has beer
set for May Z in the Court of Chanc-
cry, rs Montgomery street, Jersey
City.

Palisades Moving
Picture Enterprise
Nearly Finished

The moving picture developing
building just put up by the Enter
prise Film Co., near the postoffice,
is almost ready for the work to
commence. The finishing touches to
the interior are being put in, the
water pipes, the heating system, and
all the baths for development are
being made ready, and in very few
weeks there will be nothing more to
do but make pictures. On the side of
the front part of the building will
be a projecting machine for testing
the films. This will be small sized
movie show going on all the time.
Sometimes a scene has not been en-
acted right, and has to be done all
over again. 1t cannot be told until
the film is developed, of course. This
is one of the most important parts of
the work. Mr.. Stabel thinks they will
have enough to do to keep busy all
the time.

Mayor Whites
Commemorate Attitude

Mayor White deserves great credit
for the step he has taken in regard
to change of engineers in construc-
ton work. The cost of engineering
has been entirely too high and tax
payers as a whole should be we'll
pleased with the stand the Mayor has
taken. 1t is an easy matter for an
engineer to figure the cost OF any
particular job in advance and the tax
payers should know beforehand what
the cost of work will be before the
contract is let. The system hereto
fore has been case OF let 1t cost
what it will, the taxpayer will pay
it. Mayor White, in recommending
Mr.. Samuel J. Mason, has selected an
engineer of known ability, and the
work on future contracts will no doubt
be considerably less than heretofore.
Now that the Mayor has taken hold
of the reins of government and has
put his foot down on extravaganza
he should have the backing of every
man who wants to see the affairs of
the borough administered in an eco
nomical manner.
Also the councilmen who voted in
favore of the Mayors efforts to re-
duce engineering work expense de-
serve to be commended for their
action.-Fort Lee Sentinel, April II.
There has been some criticism OF
this change in engineers. Mr.. Mason
was engineer of Perth Amboy while
Mayor Whites brother was mayor OF
that city, and both were rejected at
the polls.
This may not mean anything, be-
cause many a good man has been
turned out of office by the voters. Of
course, Mayor Whites experiment
may be tried out for what it is worth.
Then if it succeeds, the critics will
be disarmed.
There is one thing, however, neces-
sary to impress, and that is, that
under Mayor White the cost of gov
eminent is exceedingly high and not
decreasing. Let us hope that he will
bring it to a proper level.

Senator Hennessy
Loses Fight Against
The Chief Justice

Senator Hennessy's fight to defeat
Chief Justice William S. Gummere in
his campaign for reappointment to
the State Supreme Court was ended
on last week Tuesday, when Cover
nor Fielder appointed the Justice for
full term of seven years.
Justice Gummere has been on the
Supreme Court bench for twenty
years, having been Chief Justice for
the last fourteen years.
The antagonism of Senator Hen
messy and his Democratic associates
was on the ground of the reactionary
tendencies of the Justice.
The Senator's campaign served to
rouse the members Of the State Bar
Association, who fought hard to bring
about the Justices reappointment.

Fire House Moved
By Palisade No. 4
Fort Lee Fire Co.
Ladies' Haze a Gay Time At
the Work Last Sunday Morn
ing, in Which a Horse and
Wagon, Volunteers and
Small Boys Play the
Leading Roles.

The Palisade fire laddies belonging
to Protection No. a, Fort Lee Fire De-
partment, had fine time last Sun
day morning moving the Palisade
avenue hose reel house from it's old
location near the Bull home, to new
spot near the Douglas house in Bluff
road. 1t took about an hour and a
half to get the little portable house
off it's feet and on again. The pro-
cess was a horse and wagon, all the
firemen who were not fined or excused
several outside volunteers and small
boys, to do the job up in the proper
manner, aided and abetted by Nils
Paulson, the builder and contractor.
1t was free job all around, however,
and no bill of expense will be rendered
for the work. The moving house and
the crowd created no end of interest
among the little folks who hung
around the scene of action as though
there were a circus in town. 1t was
jolly crowd and many gibes were
intermingled with the work that went
along smoothly all the way.
The Beckmanns kindly lent their
horse and wagon, together with their
own services and some hands, and Sir
Cor Herr) William Beckmann was one
Of those implicated in the real per-
formance The FIVE Lane brothers
rode up in George Lanes new Dodge,
and took off their coats and gave a
helping hand just as though they had
been used to moving houses all their
lives. Then there were F. H. st.
John, Charles Logan, Napoleon A.
Paul, A. F. Beeckmann, John Lane,
Walter Lane, L. K. Saeger, George
Roedeles, Louis C. Anderson, A.
L. Reuhmann, Harry Elkan, l..
w. Reuhmann, R. W. SCHNEIDER,
J. S. Etewart, Henry Stewart,
J. F. Pennel, and few others,
and one horse. Everybody was
boss of the job, or thought he
was, and tried to show how to per-
form the feat, and finally it was done
just right because where there is so
much wisdom there was no other re-
suit expected. Anyhow, the reel is
now more centrally located, and OF
much greater ease of access.

But you're lonely when you walk it,

It's the outcast's only goal,
Where the ever-cruel white lights
