the Court held that it was in viola
ton OF the restrictions and assessed
about $l5O costs against the owner
Tor permitting the bill board to be
erected.
In what was known as the "shack
suit" we won a sweeping victory.
his was the suit against some cheap
Shacks that had been erected along
PahSade avenue opposite the Amuse-
ment Park and north of the Supply
Store. In that suit, Vice-C Chancellor
Garrison, now Secretary of War, held
that the entire plot originally laid
out and advertised as Palisade con-
stltuted building scheme, and that
the restrictions applied to every por-
ton OF the property and were per-
petual. Chancellor Walker signed
the decree based upon Vice Chancel-
lor Garrison's ruling.
The third suit-against the Klein
bill board at the Junction-was lost
on technicality. In this case Vice
Chancellor Stevenson held that the
plaintiff did not make specific in
qulrles as to restrictions at the time
OF buying the property, and was
therefore not entitled to specific re.
lief. Another person who had made
such inquiries and purchased prop
erty on account OF the restrictions
might maintain an action against the
Klein bill board. There has been talk
that some sort of a building is to be
erected on the Klein corner, but the
public is assured that no one, if it
can legally be prevented, will be per-
mltted to put up a building which in
any way lnvades the rights of the
public or which will tend to cheaper
property values in Palisade.
Every property owner in Pail
SADIE, resident and nonresident, has
specific financial interest in up
holding the restrictions and MAIN
tanning property values. Every prop
erty owner has obtained a specific
benefit from the litigation which has
already been put through the courts.
The newer residents will no doubt be
surprised to learn that less than
twenty persons have paid more than
nominal sum toward the expenses
OF this litigation. In other words,
less than twenty persons have paid
out $2,965 in protecting the rights of
all the others.
We submit to the new and old resi-
dents that this is not fair. Since
every property owner has been bene-
fitted, every one should lend a help
ing hand. The expenses of the future
will not be great. We deem it adj
visable to have on hand a sum suf-
ficient to prevent any future at
tempts to cheaper values by violat-
ing restrictions. If one hundred of
our residents or property owners
would agree to pay Sc year each an
ample sum would be obtained. We
invite new and old residents who are
not alreay members to make appi-
cation at once. We are protecting
your interests as well as our own,
and we believe that as matter of
common neighborly fairness you
should come to our assistance.

hterboro Protective
Association Issues
Call For Aid To
All Palisadians

This report which is published at
the end of the fifth year Of the orga-
nization, has been held back pending
the decision Of Vice Chancellor Stew
Board Suit at the junction IN Palisade
Although this letter is addressed
particularly to the newer residents,
what 1T contains Is of vital interest
to every property owner in the village.
A situation has arisen in Palisade
which makes 1t necessary for every
owner OF property to exercise extreme
vigilance IN order to maintain his or
her rights and to uphold the value OF
their properties. With the beginning
OF this year the time limit IN which
prospective builders were required to
exhibit plans to the Hudson River
Realty Company expired. Unless IA
close watch IS kept INSCRIPTIONS or
thoughtless persons may attempt to
construct buildings in violation OF the
restrictions contained in the deeds OF
the properties. With no one on guard,
1t is probable that within a short
time buildings in plain violation of
restriction and in entire disregard OF
the rights OF others will be under
way. Ii this is permitted every re-
strlction will soon become a dead
letter, and every resident will be in
danger OF having factory or Il
store erected next door to his fine
home. Once that sort of thing got
underway there would be no possible
chance of unfolding restrictions or
maintaining the value of the prop
erty.
This Association, which has SO far
expended $2,965 in protecting this
property, intends to keep up the
work. 1t tinends to maintain the
closest watch upon all buildings that
are being erected or which shall be
erected hereafter. 1t will endeavor
to have the builder exhibit his plans
to a committee representing the As
ISOLATION. If the builder refuses to
comply with request to show his
plans, the matter will be taken to the
courts, and he will be forced prove
that his building will not be detri-
ment to Palisade or violate the re-
strictions. Several buildings now in
course of construction are apparently
in violation of the restrictions, and
we shall take what steps we can to
protect the public.
In the suits that have been carried
on at cost of $2,965, two have been
won, and the third lost on a techni-
cality. In the suit against what was
known as the Slocum bill board,
which was at the northeast corner of
Columbia an washington avenues,

Caron had kept In touch with his

reunion a few days ago OF the two
brothers who had been separated fifty
years.
While telling their experience and
life history to each other they found
that at one time they had been within
two miles of each other. That was IS
years ago when M. j. Flanagan, hear
ing of another Flanagan in Texas, had
started in search of his brother. The
search was not so fruitful as the last
one, however, for he met a Flanagan
whom he did not know. and thinking
he was the one he had heard of, re-
turned when within walking distance
of his own brother.
The Flanagan boys were raised in
Wisconsin and their parents died when
M. j. was just of age, and the other
boys in their teens. The boys separ-
ated to seek their fortunes" and
gradually lost track of each other.
