The major said that to the eye of
faith the new Hudson River Bridge
was almost visible. cit is nearer
than you think; and its coming will
bring an unprecedented boom to our
section"
The major, referring to the new
mayor, said that you couldn't kill an
Irishman. AS councilman, the young
mayor had been faithful to his duty.
He made an appeal for the practice
of . brotherly love among all citizens.
Sears remarks, said that there
should not be such things as "sec-
lions" in the borough. 1t was one
borough, we all Clipped into the
same pot, and paid our share of the
same taxes.
The impressive ceremony was then
performed of swearing in, first,
Mayor Cadien, then Councilmen Mutt
and Cohn. The mayor requested that
Mr.. Neumann retain his seat at the
formers right hand during the re-
mainder of the proceedings. Mr.Cadien,
upon assuming his office, thanked his
fellow citizens for honoring him with
their trust in elevating him to their
highest Office. He realized it's re-
sponsibilities, and accepted them. In
return, he expected, in fact, demand
ed their loyal help in return, their
complete cooperation. Without this
nothing could be done. And he de-
sired that all should attend the meet
ings. Mayor Cadien spoke of that
most important thing to his hearers,
taxes. He pointed out that the taxes
for borough support in 1915 had been
less than the previous year. "My
motto is economy: dollars worth
of value for each dollar of the bor-
ough's money spent. l shall hope to
take up at an early date the improv-
ing of our police system. This can be
done at very slight increase in ex-
pense. The board of health, too,
shall hope to make something out of.
l shall hope to put it on more bust
ness-like basis, and to have more
stringent regulations in the matter
of financial reports.
81 believe it will be a benefit. to
citizens to have their council meet
ings start sharply at eight o'clock, so
that they will not have to remain
until midnight when often some of
the most important business is trans
acted"
Mayor Cadien spoke of his friendly
relations with the retiring members
for the last four years. He said
that Mr.. Neumann deserved more
than the borough could ever give
him for his services. He had ad-
mlred Mr.. Zimmerman for his di-
rectness of speech and back bone.
Next followed the appointments. The
firm of McClave & McClave was sub.
mitted by the mayor and unanimously
confirmed by the council as engineers.
Likewise Patrick Larkin for road
commissioner. AS for the office of
borough attorney, the mayor felt
that he could not offer the re-appoint-
ment of Mr.. Agnew, as he believed
that his charges had been unreason-
able. He thereupon submitted the
name of Attorney John Zabriskie, of
Hackensack, as attorney to the coun-
Gil for the year 1916. The call of the
roll on this nomination brought only
one affirmative vote, that of Council
man Hoeckelberg. The appointment,
therefore, was announced as uncon-
firmed. Mayor Cadien said, 81 want
to say right now that, if necessary,
| shall continue to offer my appoint
ment during every meeting of the
year. will make no more appoint
ments at this time"
Chief of Police Flood reminded the
mayor that it was customary to ap-
point the candidate to that office on
January l. The mayor, however, pre-
ferred to make no more appointments
at that time.
A large and handsome floral horse
shoe was presented to Mayor Cadien
by Harry George in the name of the
mayors fellow members of the Ok
ford Club.
The meeting then adjourned to
meet again Monday evening, JAN
uary 10.
