In $40, 900 Check Case

Joseph Friedman, 10 years old, and

st. Nicholas avenue, clerks in the Erie
Railroad Company's office at Edge
water, were arrested on charges of
forgery at the Clyde Lines pier, SO
North River, Monday, as they
were about to leave for Jackson
vile, Fla.
The complaint on which detectives
of the First Branch acted was made
by Erie officials, who were anxious to
learn what had become of 160 pay
checks for an aggregate amount of
$11, 900, to get which Joseph Freid-
ham had been sent to the New York
office at so Church street.
Joseph's explanation was that he
had mailed all the checks but one to
Agent Garrett at Edgewater.
When their trunks arrived at the
steamship lines pier in the morning
the police were on the alert. Later
the two clerks were arrested when
they drove upon the pier in a cab.

Inspector Dyer Lauds
Work Of Public Boards

Fred J. Dyer, official sanitary in
spector for the boroughs Of Clifside
Park, Fort Lee and Fairview, when
interviewed this week by represen-
tative of the "Palisadian," said that
he had fully recovered from his in
disposition of last week. 1t had been
caused, said Mr.. Dyer, by the excess
sive amount of work due to the pre-
cautions ordered by the various
health boards against the epidemic of
infantile paralysis. The inspector said
that the Palisades boroughs had every
reason to be grateful for their high
state of immuneness against the
plague; officials were doing their ut
most to preserve the health of their
people; even if one or two lives were
saved as result of their efforts they
would be satisfied.
Inspector Dyer said that of the
three cases of infantile paralysis in
Fort Lee only one had been fatal,
that of little Frank Reattie, four
years old, whose home was in Main
street, near Linwood avenue. This
case had been attended by DR.. Brund-
age, of Grantwood, who had also
been taking DR.. Wyler's place as
health officer of Fort Lee.
Mr.. Dyer further said that in the
three boroughs spirit of perfect CO.
operation was existing between the
three coordinate branches of the
government: the boards of council,
education and health.

In Aruument OUer Road Commissioner Tracy, Fred
SchwaneUeder Gets UnduIy Excited and Criticses
Until He is Raped to Order by the Mayor Con-
tractor McGarry not Paid Yet.
A VERY LIVELY SESSION.

Although three members of the
Fairview Board of Council failed to
put in an appearance at Monday
nights meeting, the session proved
one of the most lively to be held in
manv months. There was one of the
largest audiences seen out to a coun-
Gil meeting in many months, too, and
all hands seemed to enjoy the pep
which was put into several wordy
battles.
Councilmen in Tilt
Mayor Lyons and Councilman o.
Conner had a heated tilt over the
condition of the roads, in which the
mayor accused the councilman OF
"Your usual stunt of dragging poll
tics in at a council meeting" as the
mayor put it. The argument between
the mayor and councilman excited
Fred Schwanewedder, one of the
listeners, to such an extent that ne
jumped to the middle of the room and
fairly raved in his efforts to tell the
council that Road Commissioner
Tracey was not doing his work prop
erly. Schwanewedder was given his
say until he went SO far as to forget
his English and introduced a new
method of censuring the council with
a wonderful vocabulary of profanity.
The mayor had to rap for order sew
eral times before he finally managed
to get Schwanewedder to take his
seat and allow Mr.. Tracy to defend
himself by saying that he was doing
all that is possible under the exist
ing conditions.
No Favorites, Says Tracy
"You gentlemen must remember
that l have limited number of men
and we are doing everything in our
power to get this town in a more
sanitary condition." said Mr.. Tracy
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1916-08-19

"and when you say Pm showing any
favoritism in any part of the town
you don't know what you are talking
Mayor Backs Tracy
about"
Mayor Lyons remarked that in his
opinion Mr.. Tracy was doing good
work. Councilman O'Connor dis
agreed with this point of view and
accused the mayor of unfolding the
road commissioner when he should
not. Several other remarks from
the councilman raised the mayors
anger and he sailed into O'Connor and
told him in no uncertain terms that
he would be much more pleased if
he would leave his politics out side
the council chamber during the meet
ing nights instead of dragging them
in by the forelocks. This isn't the
first time. you have been making
grandstand political plays at council
meetings and I wish you would dis
continue this habit. Every since Mr..
Tracy was appointed road commits
sioner you have opposed his work
and criticised it at every turn. And
it seems so strange, too," continued
the mayor, "that all the roads in the
borough should go bad so quickly. It's
only few months ago that your
faovrite was the road commissioner
and l don't recall one occasion of
your having had anything but real
nice things to say regarding his
work. It's alright to criticise any
public official whom you think is neg
lecting his work, but cut out this gal
lery playing business" The fracus
was ended by the road supervisor
being told to continue his work as in
the past and to pay special atten-
ton to the finishing of the cutters
