Big Improvements Coming

Wednesday nights recess meeting
of the Cliffside Park mayor and coun-
Gil was an historic one for the Dor
ough as on that night the borough
government determined upon great
improvements to the chief arteries
passing through and connecting Cliff
side Park with the rest of New Jer-
sey and the world. The 3,800-foot
length of Palisade avenue from the
foot of the new high school hill to
the north borough line at Warren
avenue, the same to cost about $685.
900, of which the State stands pledged
to pay $4,000, was started on its
way by passing its first reading; the
new connecting link with Edgewater,
the Oakdene avenue hill road, was
ordered placed in the hands of En-
gineer Roscoe McClave for settlement
with State Engineer Stevens at Tren-
ton on Monday; the borough's one
country line of communication,
Edgewater road, was petitioned for
improvement; and the 700 feet of the
Gorge road connecting link between
Palisade avenue and the backbone
thoroughfare of the Palisades, the
county road, Anderson avenue, was
reported as making speedy progress.
New Street Along Trolley
A significant development in the
Trolley Highway agitation was indi-
Gated in the report of Attorney
Agnew who said that he and Engineer
R. P. McClave, president of the High
way Commission, had been in consul
tation with Counsel Wakelee for the
Public Service Railway and that
negotiations were under way for the
constructing of a trolley highway
which would take the place of the
present fenced-in private right-of-
way. The negotiations, if success
full, would bring the contest for MAX

Auto Accident

At 10 o'clock last Sunday night Oh

Mr. Smith was thrown out of the
car and painfully injured. DR..
Schmidt, of Commercial avenue, was
called to attend her, and Mayor

The Big Explosion
Clearly Heard In
All Hilltop Section

The big munitions explosion last
Sunday morning was heard by almost
everybody in Palisade and Grant
wood-in fact, all over the Hilltop
section. A great many people got up
and thought it was an earthquake
Others didn't know till late in the
day Sunday.

"but | thought it was a big trolley
car taking the turn at the junction
rolling over the heavy frogs there.
1t sounded exactly like it."
All of which proves that people
don't know an explosion when they
hear it.

Sunday Autoists
Collide With Trolley
A dssls.i zis.5ssi,r

Joseph Castellano, of Jersey City.
IN driving his auto acriss the trolley
at Grant avenue last Sunday at $50
p. m. collided with {. northbound
car and was carried a distance of 40
feet by the impact. The car was
somewhat damaged, and the driver
slightly bruised. At the hearing on
Wednesday evening before Acting
Recorder M. Duncan McClave, Cas-
tellano and three of the occupants OF
the car appeared to testify; there
were seven altogether in the car at
the time of the accident.
Castellano and his companions
made strong defence that the trolley
was at fault. He and his campions
testified that they We're driving at
speed of from 8 to 10 miles an hour
and that when they first saw the car
they were 43 feet from the track on
the west side. Castellano was driv.
ing but had only one good arm at
the time, the other having been in
jured in similar accident three
weeks before. Recorder McClave
contended that had Castellaso been in
the free use of his limbs he could
easily have stopped his machine. He
found Castellano guilty and fined him
SO and costs. The latter gave YER
bal notice of appeal.
Castellano it was learned had been
in a similar accidenc three weeks
ago as a result of which he received
$50 damages from the railroad COM

Hennessy Comes Out
Strong For Wescott

Petitions for the nomination of At

States Senator in the Democratic
primaries are in circulation through
out the county and are being freely
signed. One petition bears the sig
natures of Senator Charles O'Conno1

George Van Buskirk, County Chair
man Jesse Moore, Assistant Prose
cutor A. M. Agnew and many other
prominent Democrats.
Concerning the candidacy of Judge
Wescott, Senator Hennessy said this
week:
Assuming that there will be but
two candidates for the nomination ]
venture to predict that Judge Wes-
colt will carry Bergen county in the
primaries by a very large majority.
The fact that Judge Wescott is in
sympathy with the progressive and
constructive policies of the admins
tration at Washington, and that he
has the confidence of President Will
son, should be, it seems to me, suf-
ficent to entitle him to the support of
all thinking Democrats. | have no
doubt that he will be nominated and
elected United States Senator, for |
cannot believe that the citizenship of
New Jersey in November will go back
to an endorsement of the standpat
and reactionary influences which are
now dominant in the Republican
party and which have more than once
been repudiated by the people of the
State"

There was meeting of the Board
Of Education of the Borough Of Fort
Lee last Monday night at which it
was decided to begin high school
at the beginning of the autumn ses-
sion this year. The matter, accord
ing to Mr.. Harry D. Schall, Palisade
member of the Board, has been under
discussion for some weeks. The final
decision comes with only five weeks in
which to prepare for the work, and
there are many who feel that it is all
too short, in order to get the highest
efficiency demanded of this import
ant enterprise.
1t is understood that Prof. Chase,
superintendent Of the borough schools,
who is now away on his summer
vacation, has been sent for, so that
he may begin at once work on the
preparation for the new high school.
The present plans of the Board are
that the school will not have a regular
academic but business course, ac-
cording to the demands of the State
Board and will be regular in all par
ticulars. At the beginning the ses-
sions of the new high school will be
held in School No. 1, Fort Lee, there
being ample room with the new adj
ditions which are now being put in, and
which should be finished by the open
ing of the fall term.
1t will require considerable equip
ment to get the school, SO far as ap-
paratus and appointments are con-
cerned, to say nothing of the getting
together an adequate corps of teach
ers. If it is really opened by early
fall, it will doubtless be record
breaking performance.
Another meeting of the Board is to
be held next MONDAY night IN Fort
Lee i'm School No. /, at which the
public will, no doubt, look in.
Harry D. Schall was seen by
"Palisadian" representative last Tues
day evening.
"Were you at the Board of Educa-
ton meeting Monday night?" he was
asked.

Sunset Skies In The
North On Monday

On Monday evening last, after the
hottest day of the year, there was a
promise of cooling shower about
five o'clock. But it did not material
ize, instead, the skies became a gray
tone, and along towards sunset, and
sometime after, there appeared in
the northern sky a tone of red very
like sunset off the regular charted
zone for such spectacles. Later it got
overhead, and the roadways about
dark became Illuminated with a pink
ish tinge that defined them in a really
wierd manner. The days heat record
in Palisade was SO degrees, and with
a high percentage of humidity, the
late hours of the day were amazingly
uncomfortable.

Hot Wave Broken
By Northwest Wind
Temp. Drops rs Deg.

Last Sunday and Monday were two
fearful days. On Monday the mer-
curry was at its highest for the sea-
son, 90 degrees. People sweltered
and mosquitoes revelled. These latter
came out in swarms. After dark the
mercury fell few degrees, but around
midnight it fairly tumbled. A huge
windstorm broke from the west, and
it looked like rain, but nothing fell
but the thermometer and lots of
leaves. And, my! how cooling the
wind was! It brought refreshing
sleep and joy to tired hearts.

T airviiew Italian
Drinkers Fined

Raffaele Ray and Alfonso Queste,
of Fairview, with a number of other
Italian friends were enjoying ar
hilarious early morning party at the
formers store near the Lincoln
School when suddenly the door burst
inward and Chief RENE with some Of
his officers appeared and arrested the
two disturbers of the peace above
mentioned. They were found to be
freely indulging in cards and pool
with plentiful accompaniment of
beer. Recorder Schulz gave them
their choice of a fine of $40 or twenty
days in jail. They paid the ten.

Fairview To Vote On
New $4,000 School

Notices are up on the Fairview
streets and buildings for an election
on the new $4,000 school proposition
next Tuesday night at the Fairview
Borough Hall. The site will be that
of the old No. 2 school on Dan Kelly
Hill, which was condemned; two new
lots will need to be purchased to fill

will be little opposition to the project.

backed by the recommendations of
the Board of Health, forced the Engle-

OF infantile paralysis. The attitude
of the Board heretofore was indie
