The board laid the matter over for
further investigation.
Supervisor Chase reported the
resignation of Miss Nellie Ray, a
former teacher at Palisade school.
Miss Ruth Hukman was there
upon engaged to fill her place.
The Supervisor appealed for pub
lie support in the matter of raising
money for the school library fund.
The State, he said, would double
every ten dollars so raised.
Miss Vogel and Miss Nava, teach
ers in School No. 1, desired the use
of the auditorium for the purpose of
giving pupils entertainment for a
fund with which to purchase a vic
trola. The board ready granted the
permission asked.
Mr.. Schall made a motion to pur-
chase thirty new desks for School
No. A. Mr.. Beedenbender seconded
the motion, and it was carried.
Mrs. Mary Packer, one of the
ablest teachers in the borough, sent
in letter of resignation to take eff
leCG vi FEBRUARY L. Inc DOafQ were
not willing to accept her resignation,
and directed the clerk to write Mrs.
Packer to reconsider it.
No report was received from the
medical examiner, as had been ex-
pected. The examination of pupils,
too, was found to be still incomplete.

examiner and inquire into the cause.
Mr.. Kaufer read letter from Bor-
ought Clerk Leibright complaining

Surrogate Sibbald's
Annual Report
Continued from page y

to say here, that, prior to election,
after a careful study of the situation,
said publicly that if l could not
wipe out my predecessors $4,000
deficiency, and, in addition, show a
cash profit of $4,000 at the end Of
my five year term, l would admit
that I knew nothing about business
method and management. With
scarcely three of my five years gone,
the $4,000 yearly deficiency has
melted away, and already $14,868.46
of the $4,000 promised is in the
county treasury. 1t looks mighty
like $4,000 for five years.
On October 1, 1918, l reduced the
cost of a rule to limit claims of
creditors from $28, my predecessors
charge, to $18.66, and the cost of
advertising accounts from Sc to $2.52.
The substantial difference, in each
case, remained in the official pocket
of the patron of the office. For 1915
this saving to the public amounted
to $1,813.48, and had the old charges
prevailed, the office receipts, instead
of being $15,458.33 for the past
year, would have been $17,271.S1,
which latter figure is the fair one
to set against my predecessors
average receipts of 1,829.41 when
making comparisons.
While, as in my preceding years,
the watchword for 1915 was prompt
ness, unfailing courtesy and real help
fulness at the hands of my staff and
myself, we were able to be more
prompt and more helpful, if not more
courteous, during the year, because
we had learned more as time went
along, and thus were able to do more
for the public. The response to the
experiment of opening the Office in
the evenings twice month during
1915 was surprisingly and unexpect-
eddy large, and developed real pub
lie need, to which we are glad to
cater by keeping the office open from
six to eight every Monday evening
from now on.
l want to say, in closing, of the
employees of the office, that no pub
lie official in this or any other county
in the state is better or more faith
fully or competently served and CO.
operated with, than l am. I am glad
to accord to them, collectively and in
dividually, their just need Of praise.

BANKING INSTITUTIONS
"There have been several banking
institutions in Hackensack during the
last sixty years, but none of them is
now in operation. The first banking
institution of any importance was the
Washington Banking Company which
came here from Hoboken when it had
been previously organized under a
State law. 1t transacted business
here about fifty years ago, but after
a few years it met with financial fail
ure. John De Groot was its president
and George Y. Affair it's cashier. 1t

west parlor of the Mansion House
and subsequently moved to it's bank

that purpose on the north side of
Mansion street, near Main (the brick
building known as Van Valen)."
