Long, Long Whistle
Disturbs Sleepers
At Six O. clock AIN.

Last Monday morning somewhere
along the Hudson river front in
Shadyside or thereabouts, the lungs
of big factory whistle became dis
organized in the valve, and my! oh!
my! such long, Long drawn out
footing it did let out. 1t must have
blown for ten or twelve minutes with
out stopping, and was loud enough to
almost wake the dead. 1t was some
whistling, and might not have been
so bad had there been some semblance
OF tune-a sort of one string solo,
as it were. Anyhow, the early sleep
ers had their slumbers very rudely
shocked.
As one Palisadian remarked, ''Why-

MAYOR CADIENs TERM MAKING RECORD
Busy With Work

Monday night was a busy one for
the mayor and council of the Bor-
ough Of Cliffside Park. Work was
the order of the evening and it did
not take the governing body any time
at all to literally peel off their coats
and pitch into the pile of business
before them. 1t was just as well that
they acted quickly, for as it was, the
meeting did not adjourn until twelve
o'clock.
High Cost of Rock
The first thing of Importance was
the opening of bids to furnish crush
ed stone to the borough. The Cliff
side Trap Rock Co. was the only
bidder and received the contract to
supply 1000 cubic yards Of crushed
stone at $3.50 per unit. The same
company formerly sold rock to the
borough at SLIT, but the high cost
of labor and materials was the cause
of the increase this year.
Center Lane Improvement
Next came the bids upon the Center
lane improvement, which consisted of
widening, macadamizing, relaying of
sidewalks, and building of retaining
walls. The Bergen Contracting Com
panying was awarded the work for
the lump sum of $4,000.
No Washington Place Stop
Among the numerous communica-
lions received, the one from the Pub
lie Service Corporation refusing a
trolley stop at Washington place
probably brought forth the most dis
cussion. The Public ~ 1l

with the fast service which they wefe

not seem pleased with the reply to
their request. 1t was pointed out
that the corporation had established
stops apparently where it pleased, as
evidenced by Day avenue, and that 1T
did not seem courteous on the part
of the Public Service to SO bluntly
turn down a plan which would benefit
SO many residents of the borough.
While the council was on the sub
iect of the Public Service Mr.. Sam
mis- moved that the clerk write to
Superintendent Bolan, asking him to
do what he could to remedy the stu
alton at the Palisade Junction, which

Year Sinking Fund For Retiring The Bonds, This

Meeting
AVE. ROAD WORK KNOCKED

That the residents of Fairview are
interested in the proposed improve
ment OF Bullsferry road was demon
strated by the large number of per-
sons who attended the informal meet
ing at the police station on Wednes-
day evening.
Many of the boroughs officials
were on hand, and engineer Roscoe
McClave proved an essential figure.
Although the Bullsferry road i'm
provement was the center of attrac-
ton, the talk drifted to other mat
ters of Importance to the taxpayers,
and incidently much praise was forth
coming for the manner in which the
affairs of the town are being looked
after by the present administration.
Road to Cost Very Little
The Bullsferry road proposition
was gone into thoroughly and to an
outsiders viewpoint the improvement
is looked on with favor. The present
sentiment of the taxpayers is no
doubt due to the fact that the propo-
sition has been sifted down to such
degree by Mayor Lyons and the Nc
Clave engineering concern, that the
improvement will cause absolutely
no burden on the taxpayers, except
ing curb and gutter which it is
estimated will not exceed $4,000 in
cost.
Improvement Long Needed
This improvement, which has been
needed for years, has been stood up
only to be knocked down again and
again Mayor Lyons has turned every
y. Ill ~! Is - and : ~
lead t1thfs key on the impr6 sel ll3sitss
minus an extra tax burden. And at
last, with the assistance of the Nc
Clave boys he has found it.
To Cost $4,000
As the proposition was explained
at the meeting, the facts are: First
of all, the improvement to the road
tcannot exceed $4,000. Of this
amount the mayor has been success
full in obtaining $4,000 from the
State road fund. The law on this
work read that as long as the work
is Reconstruction" and not an Sim
provement" the municipality can pay
so per cent of the cost without an
election or petition. A resolution,
properly passed by the council makes
the proceedings regular and entirely
within the law.

mated cost of the road will be $780,
