CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much a blood dis

may be relieved, but it cannot be
removed by simply local treatment.
1t breaks down the general health,
weakens the lung tissues, and leads
to consumption.

COMMITTEE is CRITICISED

The Bergen County Republican
Committee had large gathering at
Hackensack last Wednesday night.
Of the assembly the Record has this
to say:
That there is feeling of conquest
in the air for the Republican party
at the polls this fall was indicated
by the large gathering at the last
regular meeting of the Republican
County Committee before the pri-
maries, at the Mansion House We'd

Chairman Randolph Perkins pre-
sided and among the prominent Re-
publicans present were State Com
mitteeman and former Senator Ed

a member of the State Committee
from Union county.
A majority of the candidates for
both the assembly and members of
the Small Board of Freeholders were
also there and were privileged to
discuss their stand on the various
subjects at issue.
John Heck, of Westwood, stirred
up rumpus when he cast reflection
on the so-called Brohel Bracket. His
remarks were occasioned by the read

to be received and filed:

Thoroughly Discussed.
LIVELY AND SPIRITED DISCUSSION

roads, 3.8 miles in length, would be
about $71,OO0 This would be met
by a bond issue which would cost
a tax of about thirty cents lot for
each lot in the borough, or $4,000 a
year. The same roads cost for mere
maintenance, now, $1,000 a year.
Hinners Makes Pertinent Suggestions
Ex-Assemblyman W. H. Hinners,
of Edgewater Heights, inquired as to
the details of construction and was
informed that the proposed base was
six inches of macadam which in roll
ing would be reduced to five, and a
two inch thickness of top. This
would practically resist any load.
H. L. Gebhardt contended that be-
fore the work of surfacing the streets
were started, the storm sewers for
the drainage of surface water should
be built Gutenberg and West New
York had done that way. Also the
surfacing should be laid from curb
to curb and not merely for width
of from sixteen to twenty feet in
the center. Mr.. Gebhardt further
said that as Palisade avenue was to
connect at it's southern end with the
Hudson County Boulevard along
which trucking was not allowed,
there would be no immediate need of
the formers being improved. The
great need was the making of con-
nections with Edgewater and its
ferry. Chairman Laird at this point
agreed that Gorge road, for the rea-
son just suggested, should be the
first to be improved He had recon-
mended such thing forty years ago,
and often since. Mr.. Gebhardt, con-
tinuing, said that the side streets
should be given first consideration
before Palisade avenue.

The third of the series of public
mass meetings called by the mayor
and council of Cliffside Park to dis
cuss the question of road improve
ment was held on Wednesday even
ing last at Cliffside Fire Hall.
Thirty citizens were present, among
them being Colonel Geo. w. Laird,
Councilmen Sammis and Cadien, En-
gineer McClave, Road Commissioner
Larkin, Collector Sheehan, and citi-
zens Mrs. Callaghan, VIM. H. Hin
ners, Mr.. Schlobohm, Robert Cadien,

Raas, Albert Raas, Emil Raas, H. L.
Gebhardt and others.
Laird Elected Chairman
Colonel Laird was elected chair
man of the meeting. In introduc-
ing the discussion the chairman said
that the good roads movement was
the most important before the bor-
ough at the present time. The prob
aDle increased expense was So SilSHl
as to be almost nil. 1t behooved the
builders of the borough to build their
roads right.
Engineer McClave re-stated his
estimate, which had been presented
to the previous meetings. These in
effect were that there were no rail
roads in the borough, thus making it
dependent on roads. Improved roads
would mean reduction in the cost
of supplies, such as coal, building
materials, groceries and others. They
would mean much greater growth
of the borough. County Commits
sioner Thier had said that it was a
pity that the movement had not
started five years ago. The con-
templated improvement for the -four

Fort Lee Democrats Hold Meeting
Friday Of Last Week And Endorse
Mayor Whites Administration
Harry D. Schal of Pasade, and Michael jennings En-
dorsed For CouncilmenVincent B. Kelly Presides
the Meeting--Stirring Set of Resolutions Brought
In By Special Committee.


The Democratic party held get
together" meeting at Ferrandos Hall
on September 3, 1915, in order to talk
over candidates and complete petit
tions. 1t developed during the even
ing that the party would present a
united front at the polls, there being
no opposition for any of the offices
to be filled in so far as primary petit
tions indicate.
William j. Mahoney moved that
the candidacy of Edward A White
for mayor be endorsed by the meet
ing, and he was ably seconded by
Joseph Hengstler. The motion was
carried unanimously. Harry DSchall,
of Palisade, and Michael Jennings, of
Fort Lee received the endorsement
of those present for the office of
councilman. Henry A. McAvoy and
Jesse Kirsh were selected as can
didates for constable. Mr.. Mahoney
then announced that he had carefully
considered the matter of filing petit
ton for county committee, and finally
decided not to run this year for the
office he has held for the last eight
years. He stated that when he was
elected eight years ago, the county
committeeman at that time had alb
solutely refused to call a caucus Of
looked so hopeless, every office in the
borough being filled by a Republican
with the exception of one seat in the
council. He said he pointed with
pride to the fact that upon resigning
he could state that every Office in the
borough with the exception of one
councilman was filled by Demo
cratic with good hopes of capturing
that seat this year for the party.
Recorder Sheehan thereupon an
nounced himself as a candidate to
succeeded Mr.. Mahoney and received
the endorsement of the meeting.
Mayor White then arose and pro-
posed the endorsement of Mr.. Ma
honey as candidate as member of the
Small Board of Freeholders and Mr.
Druck seconded the motion. 1t was
unanimously carried Mr.. Mahoney
thanked the meeting and proposed
that Joseph Cook be endorsed as q
member of the general assembly
stating that this was the first OPP
portunity Fort Lee had to send 4
residetn to the legislature. James D
Moore seconded the motion and after
several complimentary speeches By
Vincent Kelly and Mayor White, Mr.
Cook received the endorsement.
Vincent B. Kelly presided at the
meeting, with James d. Moore acting
as secretary.

Fort Lee Girl
Drowns In Hudson
Capt. James Conway COllapses
When He Discovers Victim
to Be His Daughter.

Miss Johanna A. Conway, age IA,
of Fort Lee, the daughter of Captain
James Conway, Of the Inter State
Park police, who was drowned in the
Hudson river on Saturday last, was
buried on Tuesday from the Church
OF the Madonna, Fort Lee.
Miss Conway, who was an accom-
plished musician and who expected
TO graduate from the Institute of the
Holy Angels, met her death in a
tragic manner while bathing off the
Hazard Powder dock in Fort Lee,
last Saturday afternoon. Although
a hundred or more bathers were in
her immediate vicinity at the time,
no one noticed her disappearance and
it rested with two campers to insist
that a search be made for some one
whom they had heard groaning. A
raft was pulled out, but the body
was not found until the ground in
the immediate vicinity had been gone
over with graphing hook.
The saddest part of all was when
Capt. Conway was called to the scene
by the accident and removed the
mask to see if the pulmotor was
working properly, only to find that
the victim was his own daughter.
The men hadn't the heart to tell him
CT his loss and it remained for him
to discover the fact himself. The
Captain collapsed from the shock.
1t is thought the girl was not
drowned, but that she died from
heart failure or exhaustion.-Record.

Contracts for road improvements
aggregating cost of 100000 were
let by the Board of Freeholders at
their regular meeting Monday after
noon. In addition to this, repair
work on county roads amounting to
$4,000 was authorized and the TAX
ing over of Prospect avenue, running
from Midland Park through to the
New York state line, was approved
and the County Road Committee au-
thorized to advertise for bids for the
improvement of same.
E. c. Humphrey was the success
full bidder on all three road improve
ment contracts, which include Saddle
River avenue, and Prospect street, in
Saddle River township, Borough of
Glen Rock, and Village of Ridgewood,
at cost Of $15,055.20; Palisade ave-
nue., in Englewood and Englewood
Cliffs, at a cost of $112,799.25, and
Lemoine and Sylvan avenues, in the
Boroughs of Fort Lee and Englewood
Cliffs, to cost $66,356.2O.
The Upper Maintenance of Roads
Committee recommended the appro
priation of $1,000 for the repair of
Blue Hill road; $500 for Ridge road;
$4,000 for Chestnut Ridge road, and
$4,95O for road leading from Saddle
River to Park Ridge. The recon-
mendation was carried.
Charles Figini, of Lodi, was award
ed the contract for the construction
of bridge on Hopper avenue, be-
tween Westwood and Park Ridge, at
cost of $4,000.
The Board appropriated $4,000 for
the construction of a storm drain
IN the Borough Of Garfield. This
amount is the county's share of the
cost.
Permission was granted the Bor-
ough of haywood, providing they put
up $1,000 bond, to construct a
sewer on the north side of Essev
street, from the easterly to westerly
line of the borough.
The Board of Trade of Englewood
presented an objection to the use OF
Hillside brick or block and asphalt
concrete on the Palisade avenue hill
in that city and suggested Belgian
block as used on other steep grades
in the county.
Freebooter Harrop inquired when
the third section of the Fort Lee
turnpike was going to be completed,
to which inquiry Freebooter Bender
said the work had been held up by
the laying of sewer, gas and water
mains, but that it would probably be
completed before the end of the year.
The Collector was authorized to
borrow $4,000 in anticipation OF
taxes.-Hackensack Record.

Fort Lee Fire
Department
Parade Today

The annual parade of the Fort Lee
Fire Department will take place to-
night, and promises to be, as usual,
one of the best affairs of the year.
Fort Lee has always prided itself
on its fire department, and these an
nual parades have always been
events of great public interest. Ten
years ago, when Palisade was an in
FAINT in arms, the parades did not
reach as far as this village, and will
not come this way this season, as
there was objection to the long walk
required to make the round trip, the
total distance, including the travel
in Fort Lee, Coytesville and Taylor
miles.
The parade will form in Palisade
avenue, Fort Lee, at Monument
Square, at seven thirty o'clock, the
different companies coming from their
respective houses at that hour. There
will be no long delay in starting, the
moving to begin as soon as the last
company arrives. The line will be
preceded by the policemen of the
borough, the mayor and council, the
fire chief and assistant chief and the
standard bearer, H. Elkan, on horse
back, carrying flag, Foreman Will
lam Dick, Company No. l, Charles
Trueman, Company No. 2, P. j..
Siccardi, Company No. 3, and Will
lam Beckmann, Company No. A.
After the inspection by the mayor
and council, the line of march will be
out Palisade avenue, north to Main
street, east to Bigler street, then
countermarch to Hafiey's lane, then
back to Fire House No. 1 to disband.
There will be refreshments, as usual
when the parade is over, and the en-
tire affair this year is expected to De
in line with the quality of the parades
that have taken place for several
years past.
