Complaints Made
Against Rowdyisn'

Complaints are being heard on
every side against the manner in
which gang of boys and young men
congregate near the Hudson Heights
waiting room most every evening
and indulge in language that is not
fit for the gutter The rowdies have
no respect for others and especially
women who are compelled to stand
near the waiting room while waiting
for car.
In one instance the ruffians are
known to have stood right beside a
young lady and INDUCED in dirty,
filthy language, when they knew well
their remarks were more than insult
ing.
It has proved useless for anyone
to ask these rowdies to desist annoy
ing persons and it looks now that a
nice heavy stick, manipulated by one
of Cliffside's heavyweight finest,
in search of a little arm exercise,
would just about answer the purpose.

Harry Elkan In Texas
Has Been Promoted To
Neutrality-suspicious.

Harry Elkan, of Palisade, has re-
Gently been promoted to the position
of Master Engineer in the U. S. Army
at Fort McAlpin, Texas. The new
duties are much more onorous than
sergeant, but the pay is better, and
the honor greater. 1t was a promo
ton of merit, won on the young
mans own record since he has been
in camp with the regulars.
Harry was greatly affected, he
writes, at the first news of the illness
of the late Charles T. Logan, jr., and
then on coming back to camp after
an absence of four days, the news of
the young Palisadian's death was a
shock he could not realize. He has
written some very kind things in con-
nection with the great loss Palisade
has suffered. 1t is expected that
Harry will be back in Palisade be-
fore great while. He says in let
tiers that the work demanded of the
recruits down there is something the
boys were not looking for, and
while he does not intimate that they
are dissatisfied, little less strenuos-
ity might not go amiss with some of
them,

Councilman Ebel reported that the

the building will be in first-class con-

The appointment of Louis Caporelli,
as inspector of the sewer work now
going on in the vicinity of Fourth

Lyons recommended the appointment
by letter, but it was deemed advis-
able to wait for full board.
The monthly report submitted by
Recorder George Schulz, jr., showed
the police fines for the past month
were below par. 1t was quite evident
from the report that the law break

New High School
Opened Monday With
Heavy Enrolment

The following figures furnished tc
the "Palisadian" this week by Miss
Murtha, clerk Of the new high school
showing the enrolment of students
will be of interest to many. Up tc
Thursday 239 students had been en-.
rolled; of these 1873 were in the fresh
man class, 81 in the sophomore; rs
juniors; and 26 senior.
The distribution of students is also
of interest. This indicates that less
than a third are from Cliffside Park
the total being 70; Gutenberg, whose
high school has closed down sends 81
and North Bergen like number;
tairview is next with just half as
many as Cliffside Park, or 81; West
New York sends IL, Fort Lee 8,
EdgeWater 2, and Weehawken, 1.
Principal O'Toole when interviewed
said that everything was working in
harmony, and that he hoped the
school would be in perfect running
order next week. Although Thursday
was holiday, there was practically
a full attendance which testified to
the interest of the students in their
work. There was general interest
shown in the football game to be
played on Thursday afternoon by the
local team against the Lincolns Of
Jersey City.

Tomorrow is known in the State of

to attend on that day as possible, and
thereby to encourage the children
who regularly attend and develop a

work. We should like you to attend
the Sunday School exercises if you
can on that day. The classes will be
running as usual. There is no inten-
ton of preparing a special program.
An adult Bible class, with a capable
instructor, will be in session, and you
will find matters of sufficient interest
to occupy you. 1t would be great
encouragement to all of US to have

If John Marcus Nelson, the 3-year
old son of John Nelson, contractor
of Crest View place, Bogota, had moi
been so fast runner, he might moi
have lost his life Sunday afternoon
when struck by an auto driven by
Miss Nina Jewett, of 165 West
Fifty-eighth street, Manhattan. The
lad broke away from his father just
as the auto neared them on the Fort
Lee hill. The father started after the
little fellow, calling to him to STOP
but, as Miss Jewett said later, it only
tended to make the child run all the
faster, quite unconscious of the
danger.

to avoid striking the little boy, and

MAYORS ACTION A MILD SENSATION.

Idle property is wasted and a pros
community cannot afford to have
! waste property in its midst.
1t would be detrimental to the
Borough of Cliffside to have the poly
glot races of the earth from settle
ing here. We need the finest homes
and families, but to attract them they
must be protected by restrictive
measures that would keep intact the
natural beauties of Cliffside.
Big brick factory buildings, built
only with view to utmost practic-
ability and with bedlam of noises
destroying peace, and perhaps huge
smokestacks must not be permitted
too near our fine homes. And the
large army of help needed to keep
the industries growing must be taken
care of. The wages of factory hands
make it necessary for them to live in
homes of low rental made possible by
cheap land and construction. A build
ing code that makes impossible the
erection of this class of houses would
no doubt meet with the approval of a
great many, and it is along these
lines that relief is being sought.
That Building Code is necessary
is undoubted, but it would be useless
to put a code on the books that in a
very short time would be declared
obsolete. The ordinance should be
passed to not only take care of i'm
mediate situations but shall prove a
beneficial protection to the borough
in the years to come. The veto Of
the mayor has caused mild sensa-
