Of which is outlined as follows In q re-

Arthur Ryan Drowned
Was Son OF Founder
OfTown OfPalisade

Arthur j. Ryan, son OF E. H. Ryan,
founder of Pailsade, was found
drowned in a Central Park lake last
Monday. There was no clue as to
how his body happened to be in the
lake.
Young Ryan was thirty-five years
old, lawyer by profession, was
married and had two children who
are now in California. He had fair
promise in life, was lawyer of fine
standing and aside from occasional
spells Of dependency recently had
no cause for self-destruction, and It
is not known that his death was from
that cause. The mystery is still I'M
solved. The sympathy Of the COM
munity is extended to the bereved
father and family. The funeral and
interment took place Wednesday in
Bloomfield. Young Ryan was a
graduate of the Andover, Yale and
New York Law schools. He was a
man of exceptional abilities and had
written a number of plays. He had
ambitions in this direction, but had
not been successful in producing
them.

Sewers for all Sections
The movement for the still greater
spread of the universal installation
of sewers throughout the borough
was continued, especially at the hands
of President Sammis, who suggested
that sewers should be laid in all
streets, public and private in the
Edgewater Heights section. On the
recommendation of Engineer Nc
Clave the installation of a 1,200-foot
sewer along Winterburn Grove road
was decided upon. The lowering of
the Center lane sewer at it's western
end to conform to the lanes lowered
grade was ordered, the estimated
cost to be between 5000 and $500.
The three Capone sewer contracts in
south Cliffside Park amounting to
$21 900 were reported by Engineer
McClave to be making very slow pro-
gress. If the present rate of con-
SII uCCloH we're Hot Increased, IL Woulu
take fourteen months to finish the
job, whereas the contract only al
lows three months. Only 80 men
were now on the work where there
ought to be rs. The reason given
for this disparity was difficulty in
getting labor.
An utterance of great importance
was made by President Sammis who
appealed to the loyalty and civic
pride of those companies and indi-
viduals who were giving an erroneous
impression at home and abroad of the
borough's worth as place of resi-
dence. The president read from a

Ereeholders Put
Blame On Old
Board For Raise

AT Wednesdays semi-monthly meet
ing of the Board of Freeholders the
finance committee in submitting the
the budget for 1916 for the action of
the Board began their report with
the following words: Consistently
with their idea that the taxpayers of
the county should have a clear I'M
derstanding of the county expenses,
the following explanation in connec-
ton with the annual budget for the
year 1916 is offered" Then follows
the statement The budget submitted
to and adopted by the Board involves
an expenditure in excess of any here
tofore authorized in the county,
grand total for this years budget as
passed by the Board being $1,034,
$3.50 as compared with 1871 ,686.6S,
for 1915, or an increase of $163, 142.
Director Eager referring to the in
crease said: "The tax rate will be
higher, and for this there is a reason.
A significant item in the statement
of the Finance Committee before re-
ferred to is: 'The Board of the year
1915 refused to appropriate more than
$4,000 of the $S2,605 required an
nually for the sinking fund of the
$4,000 road improvement issue,
which natures on December /, 1919.
The present Board has added this
deficit to this years requirements,
which accounts for large part of
the increase in the sinking fund items
of 1916"
The report continues. "The county
expenses may be divided into two
general classes, miscellaneous and
bonded debt. Miscellaneous includes
the general county expenses. The re-
quirements of the bonded debt, all OF
which are mandatory, are: 1, pay
ment of principal; 2, payment of in
terest; 8, appropriations for the sink
ing fund. :. g. The previous admins
tration took over about 148 miles of
roads, more than half Of which was
hurried through in the closing month
of 1916, and the maintenance of this
large mileage explains the increase
of this item in the budget over the
appropriation of 1915"
