share of the graduation honors to be
conferred at the commencement ex-
ercises during the coming week. The

Fred Winters Dead

Frederick Winters, the well-known
expressman, of Cliff street, Cliffside,
died at his home shortly before six
o'clock Tuesday evening as result
of a paralytic stroke. Mr.. Winters
had been ill barely over twenty-four
hours. The afternoon before his
death he was at his headquarters in
Dey street, loading his team for the
evenings run when he was suddenly
seized by stroke of paralysis, and
when he regained consciousness he
was in an ambulance on his way to
the hospital. He demanded to be
taken home, and when he arrived
there was tenderly cared for by his
family. At two o'clock in the morn
ing he attempted to get out of bed
and fell down unconscious. He re-
manned in this state for the next
eighteen hours, never regaining con-
seriousness, and suffering frequent
commissions. The patient was attend
ed by DR.. Hellstern and DR.. Farr, OF
Hoboken.
Mr.. Winters was born in New York
City forty-four years ago and came
to Cliffside in 1897. He leaves q
widow and five children, Mrs. L. j
Deely, of Cliffside, Misses Beatrice
Maize and Catherine Winters and
John Winters. The funeral services
were held at the home yesterday
afternoon, the Rev. Marshall Mont
,gomery officiating. Interment was
made at Fairview cemetery.

Few Taxpayers of
Fairuiew Gather

Several taxpayers of Fairview gath
cred at the police station last Mon
day evening to discuss the PROPOSE
ton of improving Bullsferry road,
and the engineers were on hand, and
the matter was gone into thoroughly.
The project will have to be brought
to an issue very shortly now as the
town has only until the twenty-ninth
of this month to accept the 5000
given by the State towards the re-
pairing of the road. And it might
be well to mention right here that
this amount, according to a state
ment of Stephen McClave, a member
of the McClave & McClave engineer
ing firm, is the largest ever known to
have been given to any municipality
The petition for the curb and
gutter is being circulated and Mayor
Lyons hopes to have it in shape to
present at Monday nights meeting
of the council, which is to be held at
the Grandview Fire House.
William Vail was about the only tax
payer present who did any talking. He
had several arguments regarding the
cost, nature of the work and where
the money for the improvement was
coming from and they were all settled
to his satisfaction. Mr.. Vail also put
up a concerted kick against giving
three feet of his property in addition
to three feet which he gave for a
sidewalk some years ago, and this
matter was adjusted by the council
agreeing to change the center line OF
the road so as to throw it farther to
the east at Mr.. Wallis place.
1t has been estimated that the cost
of reconstructing the road will be
$4,000, but Roscoe McClave said
that in order to allow the contractor
to keep within this price or near it
it will be necessary to start the work
at once. Of course if the estimated
price Of the engineers is proven low
by the bids, the proposition will have
to rest and the town runs chance
of losing the State appropriation.
The majority of taxpayers on the
road are over anxious for the i'm.
provement and Mayor Lyons is doing
all that is in his power to have the
project carried out.
Both he and the engineers have
spent many weary hours in their eff.
fort to bring the affair to it's present
state. Acting on suggestion Of
Mayor Lyons, the work is to be ad
vertised Immediately.
1t is expected that next Monday
nights meeting of the council will be
an interesting one.

Col. Geo. w. Laird
Dies of Pneumonia,
Mourned by Many

Death came at nine o'clock on
Tuesday night to Col. George w.
Laird, one of Cliffside Parks oldest
and most respected citizens. On Sat
urday, June 10, the colonel sustained
bad fall from porch roof on which
he was making some repairs, the
shock and weakness resulting from
which brought on pneumonia. DR..
Youngling, from New York, was
called, but from the first felt doubt
full of the patients recovery. The
colonel, himself, made light of his
accident at first, and the only visible
result was a slight scalp wound. With
the development of the pneumonia
he experienced period of agony for
forty eight hours from which he later
rallied, and his family couldn't be-
lieve that he was to die just yet.
But on June 20 it was seen that the
end was very near, and the Rev. Mar
shall Montgomery was called in the
late afternoon. At nine o'clock the
end had come.
The deceased was of English de-
scent and was born in mid-ocean when
his parents were on their way To
America. He traced his descent from
Lord Laird, of Cockpen, Scotland. He
received his education in New York
City, and later went into the business
in which his family was interested
the manufacture of "Laird's Bloom of
YOUTH" and proprietary drugs. Fifty
years ago the colonel bought his pres
ent estate in upper Hudson Heights
and built the handsome Laird man.
sion, coming to live there in the year
1869. He married a widow, Mrs
Cowan, whose daughter, Miss Emma
Cowan, survives them both. The
colonel married again on the death
of his first wife, and the present Mrs
Laird survives him. He was Tax
Collector of the borough for thirteen
years, being succeeded by Edward
Sheehan in 1911.
Colonel Laird enlisted in the 22d
Regiment, of New York, at the out.
break of the Civil War, and served
till 1870. When the regiment organ.
lied uniform veteran corps he was
elected a lieutenant, and later com
mander. Since 1896 the colonel was
a member of the Old Guard.
The funeral was held Thursday al
the Laird home, Rev. Marshall Mont.
gomery officiating. The members OF
the Old Guard were in attendance
Interment was in the family plot al

Annual Picnic Day OF
C.P. Woman's Club


On Wednesday of last week was
the annual lawn outing of the mem
bers of the Cliffside Park Woman's
Club on the grounds of the Ferdinand
Estate, at Edgewater Heights. The
outing was under the asupices of the
Home Economics Department, and
was delightful expression of sister,
ly communion and enjoyment.
Games were played and prizes
awarded to the winners. In regard
to the refreshments, it is enough to
say that they were homemade by the
club members themselves.
The committee having charge of
this successful affair were Mrs. Chas.
F. Haage, chairman, Mrs. G. R.
Thayer, Mrs. George j. Dickinson,
and Mrs. Warren B. Eyrich.

Bids On Sewer

All of the bids, four in number,
which were handed in at the recess
meeting of the Fairview council Mon
day night, for the Ninth street storm
water sewer were rejected, owing to
the fact that the price was .consid-
cred too high. The highest figure on
the ~ FL $ sIrt 499 IS and the low
Les e. NJ ill1 e b ada was 81
too, and asked the board to throw it
out, owing to the fact that he had
made mistake by figuring on a
30-inch pipe instead of 36-inch pipe.
This work is to be re-advertised, how
ever, and a different style of pipe,
recommended by McClave & McClave,
it to be used. 1t is believed the new
style pipe will reduce the cost of the
work about one-third.
Anderson Avenue Again
The Anderson avenue improvement
was brought up for discussion and
the work was criticised severely. 1t
was agreed upon by the council that
the road in it's present condition is
menace to life and limb, but efforts
on the part of the local officials to
have the county authorities act in
the matter, have been fruitless. The
local board means to bring the mat
ter to an issue now and will ask Col.
Stevens to come here and look the
road over. And if no other way can
be found of settling the affair, the
grand jury will probably be called in
it was said.
Bullsferry to be Fairview Avenue
The proposition of changing the
names of number of the borough's
streets was brought up and after se-
Letting suitable changes, the attorney
was authorized to prepare an ordi-
nance. The following changes will be
made: Bullsferry road will be known
as Fairview avenue; Day avenue will
be known as Sedore avenue in honor
of one of the oldest residents in the
ton of the town will be named after
former Mayor Taylor Hurley and will
be called Hurley avenue; Second
street will be known as Washington
street; Third street, Adam street:
Fourth street, in the under hill sec
ton will be known as Adam street in
honor of the first Presidents of the
United States, and Prospect avenue,
in the Hudson Heights section of the
borough will be known as Wilson
avenue in honor of President Wilson;
Franklin street will be known as
Bellman street and Probst place will
