Becomes New Tax
Collector Nou. 20

The Hackensack Improvement Com
mission held a short session this week
at which action on the resignation OF
Tax Collector George Van Buskirk
was taken and the appointment OF
Evan G. Runner, Collector-elect, to
fill the unexpired term.
Under date of November 8, Mr..
Van Buskirk notified the Commits
sion of his election as County Clerk,
to which office he will be sworn in on
the twentieth, and rendered his resig-
nation as Collector to take effect that
day, inasmuch as he felt it would not
be proper for him to hold the two
offices.
The resignation was accepted by
the Commission and on motion Evan
G. Runner was appointed to fill the
unexpired term and his bond fixed at
$4,000.
The Commission reconsidered their
resolution July 6, which provided
for the location of the Office of the
Collector in the Municipal building,
and duly voted it down.
On motion it was then declared

Clifside Man Kills
Buffalo That Made
New Nickel Famous

Black Diamond, probably the best
known and beloved buffalo on the
continent, who for many years made
friends with young and old alike at
the Zoo in Central Park, New York,
is now no more, and his loss is
keenly felt by those who were in
constant attendance during the
twenty years of his life. 1t was a
gloomy cortege of Park officials
who escorted the ailing buffalo in a
large wagon to the slaughter house
of Stern & Sons Eleventh avenue and
Forty street, New York, on
Wednesday morning. Besides being
an animal of many amiable traits,
Black Diamond was also of some use
in his life of captivity and due to his
unusual proportions and beauty as a
speciman, became the unknowing
model for the sculptor who designed
the Buffalo" nickels we carry around
in our pockets daily and spend.
For months past the famous buff
falo has been ailing and causing his
keepers no end of worry because he
could digest none of the food which
he ate. All he was able to do for
rnang days was to wand pr, weak 49nd
IisfIess about his enclosure, unable
to assimilate any food which he
might take, and look sadly at the
admiring crowds who would stand

Fort Lee Firehouse
Hnnss, No Firemen

Late Monday night, or rather early
Tuesday morning, Firehouse No. l.,
on Main street, Fort Lee, was dis
covered to be on fire by passersby,
who noting that no active fremen
were in the neighborhood and that
the building was sure to burn unless
aid was forthcoming Immediately,
sounded a general alarm on the gong
just across the street and awaited
results.
While the small group waited, the
fire gained Roadway rapidly and still
no fremen had put in an appearance.
Then happened along James l..
Moore, Tim Mahoney, and Enrico
Franchi, who had been standing on
a corner talking after Borough Club
meeting. All were out of breath with
running, but seeing no firemen
around and the building burning, lost
no time in forcing open the doors
and extinguishing the diminutive
blaze, which might have proved
serious.

P. I. Brady Family
Almost Asphyxiated
From Leaking Gas

The Paul T. Bradys had an expert
ence on Monday evening and night
they will not soon forget. A gas
pipe leading from the street into the
house, developed leaks and the odor
reaching the sewer pipe soon per-
meated the house and made nearly
all members of the family ill.
The offending piping was finally
reached by digging, and it developed
that there were a dozen or more
holes in it, eaten through by cleo
trolysis generated through the soil
from the trolley tracks a hundred
feet away to the east.
Although every window was
opened that night, Misses Maud and
Mildred Brady were made very ill
from the gas, and were unable to at
tend to their school duties on Tues
day. Mr.. Brady was very i'll from
the gas, as were other members of
the family. The leak was finally re-
paired on Tuesday.

for goodly portion of the increase,
it's rate having jumped this year
from 46 points to 81. Cliffside
Parks share to go to the county
was over $4,000 this year. We were
spending more money than we could
afford. A man might prefer the ac-
quiring of title to a Packard auto
over that of a Ford; but could he?
That was the question.
The member went on to say that
not all assessors were blameless.
The law required that they should be
specially equipped for their post, but
what could be expected of a position
which sometimes allowed only $50 a
year salary, and which on the average
was only 5000 a year?
The entire tax system in the
county, the speaker continued, need
ed renovating. AS at present APP
piled, it was comparable to the "prin-
ciple" of the highwayman, or the
chow much have you got?" slogan.
"The system, as at present applied,
is fundamentally unjust. People
should not be compelled to pay for
anything they don't get, or, at least,
that there is any question as to
whether they get it or not. An in
crease in the assessors figures
should be shown only in case of an
actual property value increase. There
is usually no relation between the
services as rendered by the govern
ment, and the charge, in taxes, made
by the same government. The law,
as it now stands, does not contem-
plate such relationship.
Our Senator Hennessy is the cham
pion in Bergen county of the grow
ing party of those who complain
against the furnishing by taxation of
those who by industry and enter
prise transform brush land into up
to-date building plots. Tax aboli-
ton is the slogan of the Senator's
followers. Single tax, as some call
it is really misnomer.

PEELED to pay money for anything

Anderson Ave. Death
List Increased By One

AS the result of an automobile ac-
cident which occurred on Saturday
evening about o'clock on Ander-
son avenue, Palisade, just 100 yards
north of the school house, Joseph
Cimquegrani, of 1884 Hudson boule-
ward, West Hoboken, met death in
stantly by breaking his neck.
Vincent Capelannani, of 316 High
Point avenue, West Hoboken, also
an occupant of the car received a bad
scalp wound and many decorations of
the face and was removed to the
North Hudson Hospital for treat
ment.
The car was driven by John Pim-
piano, of 1882 Hudson boulevard,
who had had three weeks drivers
license. Beside him. sat Charles
Ario, of 4,348 Hudson boulevard, a
licensed chauffer and who was in
structing him in the control of the
machine. The car was owned by
Joseph Pimpiano, of Sipp street,
West Hoboken, who was seated in
the tonneau with his uncle, Joseph
Cinquegrani, the man killed, and
Hugo Dial Lago, of 1852 Hudson
boulevard, a friend.
1t seems that the auto party had
been out for a little spin in North
Bergen and were returning home via
Anderson avenue, when the car sud-
denly shot over the curbing on the
right of the road taking down a
school block warning sign, plunged
over a four foot embankment of
large broken stones, and then after
a circuitous route of 100 feet or
more, lodging trees, finally ending
it's cavort against two sapplings,
facing in the opposite direction to
which it was going. 1t was miracle
that the machine had not turned
turtle.
Those seated in the tonneau, see
ing what they deemed an impending
catastrophe, all jumped from the car
and they were the ones who received
injuries. Neither the chauffeur nor the
driver received so much as a scratch.
Mayor Edward A. White was soon
on the scene with officer Chas.
Abbott, who put the driver John
Pimpiano under arrest, and took hin,
before Recorder Sheehan, of Fort
Lee. TlHlpIdHo was Hclu III pow Ddll'
Nuemann's Cliffside Garage was
called up to remove the damaged
car, but it was found impracticable
until the next day.
Pimpiano stated that he was going
only ten miles an hour when he went
to swerve out of the way of an APP
preaching car and lost control of his
machine. He must have been going
great deal faster than that to take
down a heavy sign post and then
make an inroad of over 100 feet into
the woods, besides leaping over a
four foot embankment.

Kelly is Boss
OF ort Lee,
Franchi Says
To the editor of "The Palisadian,"

To the editor of "The Palisadian,"
Dear Sir:
Please allow me space in your
valuable paper to make reply to
Editor Kelly, of the Sentinel, who
continues to talk about the recent
election, which we all know was over
on the third Of November. We want
to express our appreciation of the
good people of Palisade, and we wish
them each and every one well. But
Editor Kelly is proving himself no
friend of the borough by these con-
tlnued references to things connected
with the election, which we con-
coded, and which the votes proved
were in favor of Mayor White. Mr..
Kelly only makes himself ridiculous
by boasting of high taxes. It is GER
tainly nothing to boast of.
He is trying to make capital out of
Mayor Whites success. But he ought
not to do it at the expense of our
feelings. Editor Kelly did enough to
create dissension during the cam
paign without keeping it up now. He
threw the first brick at the Repub-
lican candidate by saying he was I'M
worthy, and adding many other de-
mandatory things that did not set
well on the people up here. Clearly,
we do not like the Kelly methods.
What is he up to? Does he want to
be Democratic boss of Fort Lee !?
Well, he has attained that now, and
it has not added anything to his rep
utation. He has made one-man
affair out of the Eastern Bergen I'm
provement Association and evidently
wants to do the same thing in Fort
Lee. We are not fools up here, and
know some things Editor Kelly does
not know We know the people Of
Fort Lee are good, ard -..pyai -
pie, who appreciate the fine points of
good citizenship, and we did not like
to hear of abuse heaped upon one of
our citizens without the bitterest re-
sentiment.

ELECTION OVER ONE YEAR OFF.

Hackensack, Nov. 18.-The entire
Sixth Congress District is busy this
week discussing the announcement of
Secretary of State Thomas F.
Martin in his Hudson county paper
to the effect that State Senator
Thomas Barber, of Phillipsburg.
Warren county, would be the ideal
candidate for the Democratic Con-
gress nomination next September, to
succeed Congressman A. c. Hart. Il
Hackensack, whose retirement at the
end of his present term is announced
Secretary of State Martin, who is
believed to voice State House views
says through his paper:
"With the expected withdrawal OF
Congressman Archibald c. Hart as
representative from the Sixth Dis
trict, no better successor could be
found than Senator Thomas Barber
of Warren county. Senator Barber
has twice been elected by record
breaking majorities and the strength
that he has shown in his own county
would undoubtedly carry him to sue
cess in the district which includes
Warren, Bergen, Sussex, and a part
of Passaic counties. He has always
been staunch Wilson man and his
candidacy would fit in every way
with the conditions to be met in
1916"

Fridays Storm
Plays Havoc
On Palisades

Yesterday mornings storm created
much havoc in the neighborhood.
The large plate glass window of the
Lotthammer Bakery in Palisade ave-
nue. blew in with crash at about
eleven o'clock, causing much incon-
venience but with only slight dam
to the stock.
Next door at Weises, a seven or
eight inch tree fell as a result of the
gale. The fercely driving rain
drenched all who were caught out
in it, as we'll as flooded parts of
many houses.
Dwellings along the cliff edge
came in for their usual share of de-
struction to which they are subject
from easterly gales, and damage
leaking windows and roofs. Several
windows were blown in in the large
porch of the Dana home The Lale
home in Washington avenue was
partly flooded as a result of large
window crashing in.
Work on the new high school was
stopped for the day.

A DICKNAILING GOOD TALK

Mayor-elect Cadien, of Cliffside
Park, spoke glowingly one evening
this week on the hopes which his
administration would seek to realize.
81 believe that my administration
will be unit in striving to bring
about lasting improvements in the
borough's chief arteries of traffic. A
really crying need is the perfecting
of Palisade avenue as a permanent
boulevard. This includes concrete
sidewalks, curb and cutters, but need
not mean an increase of one cent in
the borough's taxes. l believe that
taxpayers understand generally that
such an improvement would mean
certain cost per running foot for
sidewalk, curb and gutter, assessed
upon the property benefited; this
cost to be spread over a period of
ten years, and amounting on the
average to say $40 a year for fifty
foot building plot.
1t is possible that the two years of
my administration will see small
increase in the present 1926 tax rate,
owing to the 10 per cent. or there
abouts share of the borough at large
in the tax levy made by the As
sessment Commission on the new
sewer system. The one way that l
see of lowering taxes is by inviting
home seekers to make their home
with US, and thus spreading the
burden"
Mr. Cadien said that another mat
ter of the first Importance to the
borough at this time was the need

pies money expended He. thought
that the Citizens Clubs plan to in
vite an expert ON police affairs to
address its members on the subject
was an admirable one,
There is nothing like the UMPIRE
JUDGED opinion of an outside author
ity on such matters. However, when
it comes to the other question OF
town. planning improvement, | ex-
pect to be the expert myself.
''In whatever of good my admins
tration shall strive to accomplish
everything depends upon complete
harmony in the council, and, in the
borough at large, the hearty spirit
of cooperation of all citizens. With
this, our success will be assured"
A remark of much significance
from Mr. Cadien was the statement
that his term of Office would not be
devoted to the work of managing the
borough's business in such way as
to accomplish political ends by build
ing up a machine to support him in
securing a future election. 81 shall
work for the good of the community
not clique. My one hope, longing
and wish is to be one of the best
mayors the borough has ever had.
This is my sole ambition"
Mr.. Cadien, speaking of the coun-
try's future, said that he believed
that the year 1916 would be the
greatest one on record for the
United States.

The Grantwood "Tax Party" held
on Thursday last was very success
full affair. The guests were received
by the County Tax Board at Hack
Guests from Cliffside, Edgewater,
and Fort Lee were also present. All
had their tax bills with them, and
all were unanimous in their. opinion
that they should be reduced. Some
were-reduced. That is, the taxes.
Others, it was said, were not: some
were raised.
Assessors Murphy, Edgewater;
Dennis Mahoney, Cliffside Park; and
Edward Cavanaugh, Fort Lee; were
on hand with complete sets of assess
ment maps, and with patient looks
on their faces to handle all COM
plants to the best of their ability.
Cliffside Park professors were unani-
nous in their objection to the high
$2.95 rate; but, as Assessor Ma
honey said, it is probably mild COM
pared with what is to come next year.
Mr.. Mahoney said that the $2.95
rate did not include either the new
sewer assessment nor the taxes for
the new high school, both of which,
however, will enter into the 1916
rate.
The members of the County Tax
Board present were: William Conk-
lin, Englewood, president; Robert
Murphy, Ridgewood, clerk; and
Messrs. E. F. Carpenter, Ramsey,
and F. McLees, Rutherford.

Cliffside Park, has been from $2.59

was simply matter of too great ex-

Hackensack High
School Condemned As
Fire Trap This Week

Hackensack was given a jar on
Wednesday evening when Fire Com
missioner Joseph Kinzley, jr., ap-
peared before the Board of Educa-
tx and declared the big high school
bidding fire trap.
Il came here in my official capa-

you against conditions in the High
School," said Mr.. Kinzley, on being
granted permission of the floor.
=" Either abandon your High School
or cut down the size of your classes
if the people of Hackensack will not
vote you an appropriation to build a
new and adequate building. That
building, crowded as it is daily, in
my judgement is fire trap. | must
refuse to blink at the conditions
there. 1t is a menace to the safety
of hundreds of children and / do not
wish to assume the terrible respon-
sibility.
Prevention today is considered of
far more value than fire fighting. l
believe that there is a possible cause
that should be removed.
Il appreciate fully that the lack
of a suitable building is not the fault
of this body, but it is certainly up to
TINS Board to take steps to safeguard
the lives entrusted to its care.
1T is your problem to work out.

your attention to the grave dangers.
l dislike to cause agitation, but there
exists an evil which must be rem
edied."
1t will be remembered that the
proposition to build a quarter of
million dollar high school was voted
on In the spring and lost by bare
dozen votes.
