Mayors Fight Their Fight"

The committee was organized at a
luncheon given by Mr.. Lewisohn. After
the luncheon Mr.. Lewisohn ssid that the
members Of the committee felt they had
no right to let the Mayor stand alone
in the fight that was no more the
Mayors fight than their own.
at is clear 70 us by this time that
the Mayor has ueen lighting for two i'm
portant principles" said Mr.. Lewisohn.
First, he has stood firmly upon his
conviction that il is both the right and
the duty OF the city authorities to see
that the city gets a dollars worth for
every dollar expended for the care OF
dependent children in private charitable
institutions. To this end he has insist
ed upon the adequate inspection and
supervision of the various institutions
housing the $4,000 homeless children
who are the city's wards
When Father Fsrrell's attention was
called to this he quoted the 1918 the
latest. he said report Of 151 charitab le
institutions. 1t showed that while the
citv had given to the institutions IN
that wear s4,4s5,00o the institutions
had spent for the children sll,S15,OO0
in other words. that for every dollar
contributed by the city the institutions
had spent $40.

Borough Center
To Be Beauty Spot

The borough center of Cliffside
Park near Edgewater Heights sta
ton, where all the main lines of
traffic of borough and county meet,
is in the throes of grand transfer
nation just now. The place has be-
come a veritable pandemonum Of
digging up and reconstruction.
Along the main thoroughfares the
elephantine steam roller lunges
through the leafy lanes; and along
the sides of the growing trenches the
vigorous iron digger excavates for
the heavy water drains. A small
army of human beavers swarm over
the highways. At the pointed piece
of ground where all roads pass, the
tangle of shrubbery has disappeared
and daylight CLEANS through it's free
spaces. Above the scene the hand
some new high school rises as if in
prophecy of the beauty spot slowly
coming into being at its base.

During a Thunderstorm

Do not use the telephone. The
telephone wires may receive heavy
charge.
Keep away from stoves, radiators
and the like. They are large metallic
masses, likely to become heavily
charged.
Avoid screen doors or other metal
lie bodies connecting with the ex-
terror of the building.
Keep away from chimreys and open
screened windows.
Out of doors the most dangerous
places are under isolated trees and
near wire fences in open fields.
Small sheds and other shelters are
dangerous if isolated from larger
buildings.
Thick timber is undoubtedly the
safest place to seek out of doors,
since single tree in 8 forset is not
SO likely to receive stroke as a

it's members inscribed. This, after
considerable discussion, was on mo-
ton of Mr.. Neumann, ordered. The
question of filling the vacancy in the
commercial department of the high
school caused, by the resignation of
Messrs. La Fleur and Clavell, was
referred to the teachers committee
and Supervisor Bray.
Checking Account for School
President Whelan reported that of
the $4,000 which was deposited last
year with the Hudson Trust Co. for
the new school account $4,000 had
been transferred to the checking ac-
count. An inquiry sometime ago as
to whether the same interest rate of
a per cent. on the savings account
which was formerly agreed upon
would still hold, and 2 per cent.
would be allowed on the checking bal
ance had received no reply. The
clerk was directed to urge the Trust
Company to send reply soon.

New High School
For Fort Lee

81 was" he replied.
"Was there anything special going
on?"
"No, nothing of interest"
"Why, heard"
Whyn't you come out and ask me
about the high school matter and be
done with it? That's what you want
to know, amt it,"
"Well, yes, but l thought I'd see if
you would tell me what took place
at the meeting"
"The Board has been considering a
high school for sometime. We have
now determined to have one."
81 was told that you would start
with business course only
"No, that amt so. Well have a
regular academic and business course,
the same as any other high school"
"Where will it be located?"
GIN School No. 1, Fort Lee"
Another member of the Board was
talked to by the "Palisadian," Mr.. W.
H. Mahoney. He said the Board had
determined upon having the high
school start now only after thorough
investigation. The State Board can
not approve high school anywhere
until it exists, Mr.. Mahoney said. 1t
was therefore entirely within the pre-
negative of the Board of Education
to begin with the two-year business
course now, work it out according to
the best standards, then at the end
of two years 60 after the State Board
for approval on the question of a
regulation high school, with the regu-
lar acamdemic, or classical course,
together with the business, also, the
same as Englewood now has, and
other communities in Bergen county.

discussion, considerable uncertainty
being noticeable as to just what fix
lures were or were not included in
the $500 contract for the same. The
matter was referred to the buildings
and grounds committee with power,
but from the trend of the meeting is
seemed evident that some $3.50 or so
would be required for the lighting
fixtures as extras.
School Election Asked
Trustee Goemann, as chairman Of
the supplies committee, recommended
that an immediate election of the
people be held to ask for $4,000 with
which to complete the equipment and
furnishing of the new high school,
and the grading of the ground. The
matter was laid over until Friday,
August 4. Power was given the sup
plies committee to purchase the nee
essary teachers desks and chairs at
an estimated cost of $500.
To ImmOrtalize Board on Tablet
Inspector Dryers report that
Architect Sibley was ready to design
the bronze tablet upon which were to
appear the names of the Board under
whose auspices the new high school
was agitated and created brought
about an extended discussion as to
which Board, the 1915 or the 1916.
should have their names inscribed.

sacrifcial prices of properties in the
borough He also referred to the
several large signs which by en-
phasizing the cheapness of few ex-
ceptional lots, gave to the rest an
appearance of cheapness. During
the last couple of years." said Mr.
Sammis, 1--WE have been spending a
lot of money on public improvements,
in fact, several hundred thousand
dollars, and the intrinsic worth of our
property is greater than ever before.
We should turn our attention to
boosting property, and advertising to
home makers the advantages of To-
eating here. Judging from some of
the notices and signs which we see,
the impression is given that the town
is going into liquidation, or is to be
put up at sheriff's sale. Such adver-
tisements and signs are harming the
community; they should be with
drawn. We should be booming the
town not cumming it"

England's Oldest Rector
Passed Away, Aged lO1

England's oldest rector the Rev.
William Howler Kingsley, for fifty
seven years rector of South Kilving-
ton, near Thirsk, Yorkshire, died last
week. He was born at Berwick-on
Tweed on the 18th of June, 101 years
ago, and among his friends was John
Ruskin, who often visited the rectory.
Turner was also an intimate friend
and Mr.. Kingsley possessed several
pictures given him by the great
painter. He also knew the late King
Edward very we'll. He was a grand
son of Lord de Mowlrey, of York
shire, and a relation of the English

ley was man of many parts, being
novelist, scientist, mathematician,
botanist and astronomer. He was a
painter of some note, and an author
ity on architecture and decorations.

years he did not have a curate to
assist him until he was ninty-t three
years of age.
He married for his second wife a
sister of Tom Taylor, dramatic critic,
writer Of many plays, and at one time
editor of punch" Mrs. Kingsley,
who is over ninety, survives him. Until
six years ago she was organist in her
husbands church.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kingsley, by their
remarkable mentality, activity and
gifts, not often associated with such
extreme old age, have been before
the public for many years.

Citizen Arlitz was present to urge
his claim to the privilege of running
line of jitney busses along the Pail
sades to the Amusement Park; he re-
ported that Manager Schenck had
granted him the right to stand in
side of the gates of the Park. The
matter of the jitneys who were max
ing it business to solicit fares out
side the gates was discussed and de-
nounced as nuisance; but it was left
in the hands of the police committee
for the present.
Mr.. Velsey, who appeared as rep
resentative Of the Citizens Club, OBJ
jected to the class of building that
had been allowed to go up in the
lower Grantwood section near the
trolley tracks.
On the recommendation of Coun
Gilman Naedler, the council passed
resolution making the salaries of the
borough's policemen due and payable
on the first and fifteenth of each
month. It was reported that there
were six extra policemen on duty in
connection with the Health Boards
regulations against the possibility of
infantile paralysis infection being
brought into the borough.
In the dispute between Contractor
Humphreys and the Hackensack
Water Company as to who should be
responsible if any settlement should
take place in the water-pipe trench
after it was covered up, the matter
was left in the hands of Engineer Nc
Claye to demand of the Water Com
pany that it assume the responsible
ity for the proper finishing Of the
work

connection relates to the sending of
Palisade children at this time to
Englewood or other high schools in
this section. The borough will stand
this expense until such time as the
State Board approves the high school
when it is attempted after the rules
of the State Board. Thus, if a Pail
SADIE parent desires to send child to
Englewood, the borough pays the
charges.
