what sort of bill is passed, by

the case with the Women 5

the Senate passed one bill, the

What's In A Name
Answered By A
Boys Companions

In a neighboring town there lives a
boy named Blakely James. His COM
panions insisted that he be dubbed
"Blake," "Blakey," or anything but
Blakely-Blakely was too long, and
besides it was bit difficult to pro
nounce. The owner of the name was
a precise, dignifed little chap; his
father was lawyer, and he insisted
that it was his inherent right to up
hold the dignity Of the law as well
as his honorable given name. Con-
sequently one day when he met a
party of his companions he promptly
said to them:
"Boys, | wish you wouldn't abbre-
viate my name in any way. My name
is Blakely James, and that Is what l
want you to call me"
The boys promised to think it over
awhile, but walked off and said moth
ing. But later they got together and
settled the matter. They decided to
call him Fritz" So now, after sew
eral years trial, the whole town knows
him as Fritz. Wherever he goes, it
is Fritz. He cannot get away from it.
Invitations come to him addressed to
Fritz James, and they invariably
reach him. He takes it good natur-
edly, and now recognizes that he can
be governor under the name Of Fritz
as we'll as any other. And that's
what he says he is going to be.

Leeger Puts it up to Police
President Sammis, at this point, in
quired if the two investigators would
furnish evidence to the chief of police
Mr. Leeger said that he thought it
was up to the police themselves; if
they were approached and complained
to, they should do their duty. Mr..
Sammis said the matter indicated a
breaking of the law. Mr. Zimmer-
mann inquired of Attorney Agnew in
regard to the enforcing of the law.
He was informed that it was up to
the local police; and it was up to the
county grand jury to indict.
Mr.. Sammis Puts it up to Leeger
Mr.. Leeger, continuing, said that
more strictness should be observed in
the matter of allowing young boys
anu SlfiS 10 call dl saloons WITH pals
for beer and other intoxicating
liquors. There was law against this,
and the penalty was very heavy. "Are
you willing to supply evidence in sup
port of your Charge" President
Sammis asked. Il don't think that l
should be expected to take this matter
upon myself. What are our police
for? | think that your body ought
to instruct the police to do their
duty. What are they for if not for
that? They should either tend to
their particular knitting, or else pre-
pare to be disbanded," replied Leeger

terfere with free and safe cOmmuni-
+ cation between any and all parts OF
the borough The trolley line was
the business avenue of the borough
Along its lines had been invested a
great deal of private capital. Other
businesses were being planned, A
most important improvement was the
proposed new Roman Catholic Church
at Lafayette avenue. The Club did
not wish to antagonize the railroad
but to cooperate with it. Among
signers to the petition were Messrs.
Zabriskie, Sears, Fox, Dake, Sues
senguth, Velsey, Bohm, Church and
Moody
Trolley Fence all the Talk
Councilman Zimmerman thought
that the improvement would not be
for the good of the borough at large.
Councilman Cadien asked the attorney
II he had a report to make in the
matter. Mr.. Agnew said that he had
taken up the matter with the Public
Service Railway as he had been in
structed, but had not been able to
accomplish much. The company had
conceded that at those points where
the building of the fence would plain
ly work hardship, they might be will
ing to cut it out Mr.. Agnew reported
that Palisade had risen in their might
against the attempted invasion, and
in consequence there would be no
fence there. Mr. Caden wondered if
this was from fear of possible revolt
against the Amusement Park. Grant
wood might take such a step, Itself,
in case of necessity.
DIR. GOemann Wants Harmony
Messrs. Goemann, Leeger and Geb-
hardt spoke strongly against the en-
croachment on the borough's appear
ance and convenience. Mr.. Goemann
said that the railway needed the good
will of the borough, and that it was
essential that the two should work
together in harmony. Mr.. Leeger
thought that it looked as though the
citizens of the borough were a lot
of guinea hens to be penned in by an
unsightly fence. Mr.. Gebhardt made
the point of the danger to the bor-
oueh of the proposed fence as an i'm
pediment to effective fire service.
On motion of Councilman Zimmer-
mann Messrs Agnew and Cadien
were appointed a committee to ar
range for joint meeting of the en-
tire council with one or more officials
of the Public Service.
Other Minor Matters
A communication from the Board
of Health was received saying that
they estimated that the cost of ad-
vertising the proposed Sanitary Code
and procuring 1000 copies Of it in
pamphlet form, as well as number
of leather bound copies would be
$3.50. No decision was made by the
council as to whether they favored
the plan. Councilman Zimmerman
moved that the clerk inquire of the
board whether they had submitted
the proposed work for bids.
A letter was received from Treas
urer Maude A Koch, of the Library
Commission, thanking the council for
it's appropriation of $500.
Claims were ordered paid for from
5000 to $4,000 for sewer and street
contracting work, road work, en-
gineer, commissions and attorneys
fees. The meeting then adjourned to
meet again August %.
Palisadian., 1915-08-14

brought matters to a head by moving
that the whole question be referred
to the police committee. That was
as far as it got There was no
second. Councilmen Flood and Hockel-
berg, in explaining their apathy, said
it wouldn't be proper for them to
second the motion as they were mem
bers of the police committee Council
man zimmerman, however, said that
he wasn't a member of the police
/ committee; but he wasn't one to in
terfere with the life, liberty and pur-
suit Of happiness of his neighbors.
He said that these conditions existed
all over the world; the laws against
Sunday opening were as old as Me-
thuSalem. Il move Mr. President" J"
he said, that the communication Of
the Citizens Club be received and
placed on file" This was greeted by
complete silence.
Rev. Church Appeals for Action
President Sammis then took it upon
himself to refer the matter to the
police committee. Rev. Church said
that he hoped this carried with it the
power of the committee to act He
and his associates believed that their
stand was the kindest and wisest that
could be taken. The fullest oppor-
tunity was afforded to the existing
local authorities to take proper action
If, however, they didn't act, the mat
ter would be taken automa tically over
their heads. 1t was unfortunate that
the council could not be got to act
as unit in the matter. The higher
interests of the borough at this par
ticular time demand the Sunday wide
open town must stop. A new lease
of life had come for the borough as
evidenced by the rise in real estate
values.
Sunday Liquor Trade Valuable!
Police Chief Flood complained of
the difficulty of layman who is out
of the borough all day on business
keeping in close touch with the dis
orders Of the borough Councilman
Hoeckelberg thought that if the
saloons were closed up tight in the
borough on Sundays, things might
become as they were formerly when
followers of the froth would stock

the liquid joy in preparation for
Sundays good time. Besides, Sunday
closing would lose a lot of good trade
to Fairview, Fort Lee and Edgewater
This last point seemed put everyone
in the best of humor.
Attacking Trolley Wire Fence
A matter which created fully as
much interest as the foregoing, and
which Attorney Agnew stated as
being mighty important, in fact, the
most important problem before the
borough, was the Palisade Railways
announced decision to fence in it's
tracks from Hudson Heights to Pail
SADIE Junction, leaving, of course,
openings where they were indispens-
able, and in some cases where it was
clear that business would otherwise

Citizens Club Protests Fences
A communication from the Citizens
Club signed by a long array of names
protested against the proposed meas
ure saying that the railway had be-
come one of the most important high
ways of the borough, and that moth
ing should be done which would in
