Umpire Pays Tribute
To Palisade B. B. e.

The promoters of baseball in Pail
SADIE have always stood for clean
sport, clean behavior on the diamond
and no unfair abuse of umpires.
pitchers or players. That it is ap-
preciated is clearly shown by the fol-
lowing very complimentary letter re-
celved from one of the umpires who
came here recently with a visiting
Hackensack team
in closing, let me congratulate
you on the personnel of your team.
l have been umpiring all around the
county this summer, and not until
last Saturday did l find a bunch of
ball players who would argue over a
disputed decision and not, to use a
colloquialism, go up in the air. Thev
are good ball players and fine fell
lows, but don't tell them | said so. or
there is no telling what might

ton before the Democratic primaries.
The undersigned were appointed a
committee to present an address
urging the people of the entire Dor
ough to support this wise and able
executive. He has just completed his
first term as mayor of this borough
and during his entire term of office
he has, by his broad minded and
business-like administration of af-
fairs, brought the financial condition
OF the borough from state of chaos
to one of order and stability. He
has revoluntionized the system of
bookkeeping and made it possible for
every citizen to know for what pur-
pose the public funds have been ex-
pended. He has vastly improved
the condition of the borough high
ways, the same being in better shape
than ever before. His sweeping re-
forms in the engineering department
have made it possible for every tax
payer to know to a cent, what to ex-
pect to pay for contemplated street,
sidewalk and sewer Improvements,
something which has never before
been possible or attempted.
The meeting unanimously endorsed
the candidacy of Michael Jennings,
OF Fort Lee, and Harry D. Schall, of
Palisade, for the office of council
man. 1t was the earnest wish that
councilmen be elected who would sup
port the mayor in his efforts to con-
tinue the work of progressive i'm
provement he has inaugurated, and
that the above two candidates are
hereby pledged, so far as is possible
by this meeting, to aid the mayor in
the reforms.
1t was the expressed wish of the
meeting that the Democratic voters of
the borough, as favoring the giving
OF representation to each section of
the borough in the council board, and
in as much as Palisade is not repre-
sented at present, it was urged that
Mr. Schall receive the united support
of the Democratic voters of the en-
tire borough, in order to send him to
the council with Michael Jennings,
wha has served earnestly and con-
sciously, during his present term.

family built the once famous Nagel
Hotel, which still stands on Walker
street and the trolley. The hotel was
the rendezvous of many New York
picnic parties that frequently came
to spend holiday in the wilds of
Jersey. With the growth of the Dor

laid out into streets and buildings

is now thickly populated with houses

up, but had the sporting
