Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1916-06-17


one for the Cliffside Park council.
In spite of the fact that the meeting
was called to order on time, it was
twelve-thirty before Mayor Cadien
declared a recess until Wednesday in
order to finish the business.
Bids were received from contractors
to construct lateral sewers in twelve
of the borough's streets, but due to
the fact that number of the con-
tractors had failed to add up the
total of their estimates, the matter
was referred to the engineer to check
up and report upon later.
Time was granted to three tax
payers to meet payments upon their
curb, gutter, and sidewalk assess
ment.
A communication was received from
the Citizens Club, of the borough,
endorsing heartily the proposed Pail
SADIE avenue improvement, but re-
questing the council to devise some
means which would prevent the tear
ing up of the street once the improve
ment was made. 1t also asked to
have the jitney bus service to the
Palisades Amusement Park limited
to Anderson and Lafayette avenues.
It closed by stating that the garbage
collector should use more care in the
covering up of cans, when he had fin
ished dumping them.
Mr.. Fred. Weiss was admitted to
active membership in the fire depart
ment.
Objections were next heard against
the proposed cement sidewalk i'm
f1fovement of Edgewater avenue and
o0itte ~ iveiy tit occtfred between
Mr.. Nesumann and Councilman Sam
mis-. Mr.. Neumann maintained that
the Improvement as contemplated was
both dangerous to limb and useless
expense. If the council would make
the Improvement of the street
throughout it's entire length he would
then withdraw his objections.
The report of the Trolley Highway
Commission, as written by Walter
Goemann, was read and pronounced
by all to be mastery review OF the
case as it exists between the borough
and the Public Service Corporation.
Mr.. Zabriskie said that the commits
sion estimated that the cost OF a
roadway along the tracks, the entire
length of the borough, would cost ap-
proximately 100000. A motion was
passed by the council giving its un-
qualified support to the commission
for the work it had don and is going
to do.
Councilman Flood introduced a
resolution seeking to find out if it
was lawful for a man to receive a
salary as clerk of the borough and at
the same time receive one for the
duties of a police clerk. Counsel
Agnew informed Mr.. Flood that the
proceedings were perfectly proper.
Attorney Agnew proposed a reso-
luton allowing taxpayers to have the
privilege of paying their assessments
on installments during period OF ten
years. The subject was tabled after
some discussion.
The mayor appointed Messrs. Ia
briskie, Flanagan and Mutt as AS
sessment Commissioners to make the
necessary awards upon the Center
lane and Winterburn Grove road i'm
provements.
An easement for sewer rights was
granted to Mrs. Nagel upon the lots
which she owns on the west side of
Division and Kamena streets.
The attorney recommended that
there be no bond issues at present on
this improvement for conditions were
not right for the advantage of the
borough.
1t was learned that both of the ap-
peals upon excessive taxation by the
Postal Telegraph Co. and the Pail
sades Amusement Park were thrown
out of court. In the case of the tele-
graph company their assessment was
increased by the County Board OF
Taxation from $1,000 in 1914 to ST.
$40 last year, which was most un-
usual.
Mr.. Hoeckelberg, reporting for the
police committee, sought to have a
periodic cleaning of the disposal
plant. He also stated that the in
stallation of the new police system
had brought out the fact that the
borough was entirely unprotected on
Thursdays, and had been for many
years, because that was the day
when all the officers were off duty
He was instructed to have this defect
remedied Immediately.
No objections were received to the
improvement of Jersey avenue and
Park place.
The Cliffside Park mayor and coun-
ell met in recess session on Wednes-
day evening. Bids for the construc-
ton of lateral sewers were laid over
till another recess meeting Friday
evening.
