Hilltop Section
Is Growing Fast
According TO Good Judges
Prosperity Has NoW
Come to Stay.

"The Palisadian" has long yielded
to the belief that the entire Palisades
section opposite New York City would
sooner or later develop into a mighty
suburban city. At the present time
it is coming so fast one can hardly
keep up with the progress.
All of the section south of Wood
cliff is on a building boom. In an
other two years the panorama one
sees from the trolley will not be
recognized. Blocks of new houses are
going up on all sides.
The new recreation park just north
of Woodcliff is sure to force a rapid
development on all sides of that I'M
mediate neighborhood, much of which
at this time is very unsightly. In
two or three years to be near the
park" will be an item of dollars to
those who want the privilege. Why
should not park site values rise in
time there as elsewhere where great
parks are developed? The increase
IN values will go into the millions
around this great Public Playground.
The park itself is going to be one Of
the finest in the Eastern States.
Seymour Sears, of Grantwood, a
close observer, and a man of much
travel said to a "Palisadian" repre-
sentative this week:
II never saw anything like the de-
velopment of this section. 1t really
surpasses belief. | look to see our
new high school in Grantwood start
the finest development our section has
ever known. The signs of it are al
ready in the air."
Everybody is of the same opinion
Another well posted gentleman of
Palisade said this week:
There seems to be an upward ten
dency in these parts that is easily
visible Palisade is showing it, our
neighbors are in the same boat, and
to the south of Cliffside, including
Cliffside and Fairview, there is a big
ammount of building going on. |
really feel that Palisade must de-
velop faster now than ever. We have
a big advantage over other suburban
places because we are restricted.
And the restrictions cannot be evaded,
either. That's the best thing about
it Grantwood, also, has restrictions.
We should all get together now and
concentrate our energies on the COM
mon purpose of boosting this section"
Expressions like this are heard
every day. The whole outlook is
good, healthy sign of the times.

FaiirUiew Election
For School Board
BOlz, Geridch and EbeI Pull
Through With Sue
cessMI Votes.

Three hundred and two voters eX-
ercised their right of school suffrage
in Fairview on last Tuesday night.
The election was held in the Grand
view Fire House and there was more
interest shown in the success of the
candidates than in any past year.
There were ten candidates for the
four vacancies. The following can
didates were on the ticket for the
three year term, the first three of
which were elected: Frank Bolz, 1879;
Charles Gerlach, 1873; George Ebel,
1913; Joseph Adelberg, 107; William
Steinbock, 104; Louis Miller, 100;
James Lyons, 90; George Todd, 68;
Lawrence Cavanaugh was elected for
the two year term receiving 157
votes; his opponent, John Brinkerhoff,
received 1872 votes. The members who
will retire from the board are Presi-
dent James F. Lyons, William Fiske,
William Steinbock, and George Todd.
The new board will be made up of
the following trustees: Frank Bolz,
Lawrence Cavanaugh, George Ebel,

The other big shakeup was down at
Hoboken, where the new Commission
Government was choosing heads of the
departments--that is, new commissi-
oners. 1t was a campaign reduced to
the old time opposing political parties.
1t was impossible to disassociate pol
itics from the election, and as cam
paign of vituperation, it probably sur
passed anything ever known in this
country. The Democratic leader,
Patrick Griffin, who has long reigned
as the "boss" of Hoboken, boldly went
before the people as candidate for
the head of the new commission, say
ing he would promise not to have any
politics, and promising to treat the
peoples rights exactly as though he
had never been a Democrat. His
appeal was unusual, because of its
very daring. His announcement of
his candidacy created perfect fur
ore of excitement, and large flaring
advertisements were Immediately
placed in the observer" daily, warn
ing the public against Griffin and his
cohorts. The other candidates on
Griffins side got it quite as hot as he
did, and hot shot poured in from the
Griffin camp, though nothing like
what the Democratic chief had to
swallow. The very harshness of the
names called Griffin caused revul-
sion of feeling in his favor, and nc
doubt caused his election. No man

Chicken Pie Supper
Yum! Yum! Yum!

The ladies of the Woman's Guild
of the Palisade Union Church, quite
outdid themselves on the evening OF
March Is, by serving one of the finest
as well as most successful chicken
pie suppers ever held in the basement
OF the church. The people of the vii
lage fairly swarmed to the little stone
church and it took three sittings be
fore everybody was fed, which shows
that the fame of these little gather
ings is fast spreading and will not
be long before the ladies will have
to make lots more pies and set many
more tables if they hope to accom-
modate the crowds.
Although the night was a day after
st. Patricks. the ladies carried over
the Irish idea and wore green ging
ham aprons and green sunbonnets
which not only became their beauty,
but added touch of color to the
scene which was most attractive.
Each guest also had at his or her
place small green paper plug hat.
typical of dear Erin, which could be
uinned on, if so desired. Everybody
wore smile and the laughter and
merriment which pervaded every
where could be heard some distance
off
After the meal was completed all
adjourned to the church proper, up
stairs, where Mr.. Geo. H. Frew, jr.,
delivered a stereoptican lecture of
his travels abroad as well as show
ing number of slides of California
Mr.. Frew was most entertaining and
kept his audience closely interested.
Unlike the ordinary lecturer, Mr..
Frew has keen sense of humor and
more than once litter ran through
the crowd at some witty jest or pun.
The feature of lecture after the sup
per was an innovation and one which
was most acceptable.
The ladies worked very hard to
make this the greatest of all chicken
suppers ever given and they deserve
q great deal of praise for the delight
fl way in which the evening was con-
Quoted. Everybody when leaving
wanted to know the date scheduled
for the next.

Ufside Park
School Board
Election Over
BONN, Smith and WheIan
Chosen on Rather Close
Voting, But Enough
For All That.

Although the Citizens Central
School Committee gained a notable
victory in securing the election of its
three candidates it was victory won
by very small majority. Tuesday s
election was a very important event
and brought out large crowd. The
voters from the lower end of the bor-
ough made the journey to Grantwood
in throngs and its was evident that a
big majority of them opposed the can
didateS of the Citizens Central School
Committee. President Joseph F.
Whelan of the school board was up
for reelection and received a vote
far greater than any other candidate.
There were 327 votes cast of which
Whelan received 100. Anton Bohm
received 140 and Frederick L. Smith
SO. John J. McEvoy lost out to
Smith by only two votes. Louis Rent
Ter polled 125 votes and Tobias
Chieffo 122.
There were a number of ladies at
the meeting who voted for the ap-
preparations. Mrs. M. E. Callaghan
insisted on voting for the candidates
and although she cast ballot it was
taken from the basket by one of the
clerks. Francis Banville is the re-
firing trustee, Joseph Whelan sue
ceeds himself and the other vacancy
is that caused by the death of Trustee
James Rouan, jr. The new board will
be made up of the follwoing mem
bers: Anton Bohm, James Conroy, H.
F. Goemann, Ferdinand Herschler,
John F. Kelly, August E. Neumann,
Frederick L. Smith, John Timony, and
Joseph F. Whelan.

Geo. Frew S Lecture
European Travels
A Big Success
PdLisddian Gives Fine Idea
of His Recent Trip
In Var Zone.

George H. Frew, jr., of Palisade,
presented for the first time anywhere
on Thursday night last at the Union
Church, his lecture on European
Travels which he has been preparing
for some time. His lecture was not.
he said, in its finished form, but re-
CARELESS of that statement it made a
very fine entertainment which was
enjoyed by the good sized audience
brought out by the ladies big chicken
pie supper that preceded it. The
young lecturer took his hearers
through many sections of France,
Belgium and Germany that are now
notorious in the great war now pro-
crossing. He showed pictures of
many places now totally destroyed,
so that his views have, many of them,
great historic interest and value.
Mr.. Frew speaks in an easy,
natural manner, and there was not
a dull moment in the entire period of
the lecture, lasting a full hour, and
showing $50 views made by himself
He also made the slides in his home.
AS a whole, the young man acquitted
himself admirably and everyone was
loud in praise of his maiden effort.
When he has perfected the ensemble
a bit better, he says, he is going to
take his lecture to many points in
New Jersey, and already has a date
at Englewood for next week. He
should make a distinct hit anywhere,
for the work is highly creditable to
his genius and talent

THEKEYNOTE OF SUCCESS.

HOW many merchants Know the
true worth of advertising? Few, it is
a fact, as witnessed by the large num-
Der of small shops and stores which
are just barely making ends meet,
when by the judicious use of news
paper columns they could vastly in
crease their business. All successful
shops advertise.

1t is absolutely vital to any news
paper to have it's advertisers know
that results are coming from the use
Of its columns. One way of doing
this is with cooperation Of the public.
Make it habit to mention to the mer-
chant the paper in which you saw
