Thanks, Thanks, And
Many OF Them, For
Mosquito Clearance
West Palisade, N. j.,

August ~, 1916.
To the editor of the "Palisadian,"
Dear Sir: Congratulations all round
on the clearing out of the pest holes
north of the tracks between our two
cities, even though the clearance be
not absolute!
The pests are in much smaller
number even though we have had an
abundance of rain and muggy
weather.
AS the clogged bitches have been
opened, the water now runs away
freely and the mosquitoes can find no
breeding places.
Let this good work go on. We are
engaged in a warfare which can never
cease, when vigilance relaxes the
enemy will assail us again.
The motto of Palisade and West
Palisade should be "Clean up and
Keep up!"
The nation is spend millions for
defence against an enemy that may
never. appear; why not spend a little
money and effort against enemies
that are attacking us all the time?
Earsen l. Sopen.

Mosquitoes Being
Exte minated Surely

Cortland Donaldson, of Edgewater
Heights, who is assisting in the mos
quito inspection and determination
for Cliffside Park, reports the INSTALL
ing of the following drains: from the
swamp back of the Jory residence in
Brandon pace, $50 feet long, running
south and across Edgewater road;
from "Burdette's Pond, so feet east
erly discharging into Winterburn
grove brook; from the Carney hill
swamp, drain 100 feet long. Mr.. DON
aldson reports also the cleaning of
the 700 foot drain dug last year to
carry off the water from the swamp
south of West Grantwood playground.
Mr.. Donaldson says that besides
the draining, and oiling, night-attacks
on the pestiferous buzzers are made
at the time of greatest biting eff
fciency, or seven to eight thirty.
When asked if he considered that his
efforts had borne fruit, the inspector
said that the commission felt that,
inasmuch as very little complaint was
heard Of he mosquito nuisance, they
could take some credit to themselves.
This was especially true, since in such
counties as Morris where there was
no mosquito commission the mos
.quitoes were quite as bad as ever
this years. A new house inspector
also had begun his duties in Cliffside
on Wednesday.

Pugnacious Pup Gets
His Gunner In Trouble

Adam Wocizsky, of Nagel street,
has 'purp' and said purp has hor-
rible grudge against the feline race.
Squawking Molls and piping Toms
are the same to him, and he sends
score of them to an early grave every
week.
His warrior instincts might have
won him glory from the neighbors,
who are awakened by the midnight
serenades of the back fenc, providers,
but he was wont to use George Nagel's
back yard as battle field.
Nearly every morning Nagel would
discover several dead cats on his
premises, and he finally grew tired of
playing grave digger before break
fast. He summoned the dogs lord and
master before the bar of justice, but
on the night Of the trial Wocizsky
got inebriated and failed to show up.
A warrant was issued and he was UNI
tremendously hailed before Recorder
McClave. He was told to educate the
dog to live in peace with the neigh
boris cats, or he would suffer a dire
end. He was also bid to patch up his
fence and keep his NUT on his own
premises. In delivering the repri-
mand Duncan McClave distinguished
himself as jurist and craker jack
Independence Day orator. The man
went home resolved to sin no more,
after parting with $3.50 for his at
tempt of court.
When interviewed this week Mr..
Dog refused to submit to arbitration.
He said it was war to a finish, and he
never did have much for Grape Juice
Bryan's Dove of Peace. He said the
Kaiser was his patron Saint, and that
he strove to emulate his example. He
ridiculed the pacifst dogs on Cliff
side and termed them mollycoddles.

Health BID. Official
Scores Dog Nuisance

An interesting communication has
been received from member of the
local health board in which he says
that an interest can be aroused in
our community on the subject of our
stray and semi-stray dogs, who are
owned by people who take no pains
to keep them home and feed them, but
let them run rye I'm vigiatior Y
law, upsetting bage cans throul
cut the borougHs ~
Accompanying the letter is an il
Eliminating article from the public
Health News" issued by the State
Ecard at Trenton, entitled Contain
ination of children by domestic ami
mails" The article is introduced by
a reference to Bulletin 260 of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture which reads in part as fol-
lows: while the dog with a RESPONSE
BILE owner who will keep him clean
and free from vermin, hold him
within reasonable restraint and as
sumo responsibility for his acts, may
be tolerated, the ownerless dog which
trespasses upon and destroys prop
erty carries vermin and disease must
be eliminated"
Other excerpts are: "the unre-
stricted dogs is not only a nuisance;
he is dangerous" "dogs are thought
to be responsible in a measure for
the spread of such diseases as ring
wrom and favus." A few of the d.
seases and parasites carried by the
dog are: rabies, hytadid, tapeworm in
children, roundworm and tongueworm
in man and stock, and fleas and ticks.

Fairuiew Taxpayers
At Council Meeting

The Fairview Taxpayers Associa-
ton was present in force at last
Monday evenings meeting of it's
mayor and council. The members
were accompanied by their counsel,
Judge Robert Carey, of Jersey City.
A bare quorum of the council were
present, including Mayor Lyons, Po-
lice Chief Rene, and Councilmen o.
Connor and Noon. Members Ebel,
Kelly and Kothe were absent.
Bids had been advertised for for
the sewering of eleven blocks of
streets in 18th, 9Th, 9th, and Carmina
streets, but not a single bid had been
offered. The question of the status
of the Anderson avenue sewer con-
tract and whether the sewer system
and the disposal plant were all one
contract or were separate contracts
was brought up by Couscilman o.
Common; Mayor Lyons was not able
to enlighten him in the matter; nor
to say why the disposal plant was
being held up. Mr.. Schwanawede, of
the upped Dallytown road section
made complaint that there had
never been road Inspector in his
section. Inspector Tracey, who was
present took exception to the cri-
ticism but finally admitted it's justice.
A resolution offered by Chief Rene
to pay some $4,000 to Contractor Nc
Garry on the sewer contract was OPP

Bogota Defeats
Hackensack Oritanis

Although the Bogota team beat the
famous Oritani Club last Saturday,
it was a corking good game. The
Bergen County League is putting up
about the best article of ball near
New York, and the management of
the various clubs in the league de-
serve every credit for getting to-
gether such fine material. Saturdays
game was the first showing made by
the new Bogota manager, and he did
himself and his little town proud.
Some of his new talent is really fine,
and all of it excellent. The same
may be said. of Manager Glatz's

The speaker was Senator Lippitt.
He resumed:

do it, and their answer to our ac-
cusations is as lame as the convict's

Acting Recorder B. Duncan Nc
Clave submitted an interesting re-
port to the council on Monday night.
t showed p cases tried with col
lection of $171 in fines; 81 cases of
these cases were for violations of the
sanitary code. Only one Of the dis
orderly cases was for drunkness. He

A member of the Taxpayers Asso-
citation, when interviewed by repre-
sentative of the "Palisadian" in re-
gard to the meaning of the presence
of the association with counsel at the
meeting, said that it was their intent
ton to secure complete airing of
the borough's affairs and to secure
justice for the small taxpayers in the
matter of assessments of their prop
erty; also to rid the borough of the
presence and practice of some TWEEN

in the liquor traffic was disgrace to

or Sarah Bernhart interpret those
expressions, but sure enough this
mere babe was actually performing
for us, although we could not help
but think, we ourselves were In a
dream. It is needless to say what the
applause was, which brought forth a
compliance, of a "Waltz" in which a
perfectly wonderful rendering of toe
work was done, including thitry-two
turns of Fuetee followed by several
Arabusque on toe in which it made
the audience head and brain swim,
but our little Queen of the Dance
was perfectly calm and right at home.
It was later learned that the little
one was Metrova Dulrous, an eight
year old classic toe dancer, who was
born in Triste, Austria, of Russian
parentage.
At an early age of three years She
made her first appearance in public
in her own childish interpretations

her one of their circle.
One day while at the studio Of her
director, in Russia, visitor, no
other than Cecchitti, the famous
teacher of Madame Pavalowa saw
Baby Metrova and was so much in
terested in her that he gave Baby
Metrova several lessons, among one
of the steps he instructed her in was
"The Diving Swan" that has made
Pavalowa so famous, in this she gives
as strong an emotional interpreta-
ton as Pavalowa, she so thoroughly
feels these interpretations that she

No Bidders for Work
The work of constructing the
Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Kemena
streets sewer was set back for some
little time owing to the fact that no
bids were received for the work. In
answer to a question, Mr.. McClave
stated that he believed the contrac-
tors failed to bid on the work owing
to the shortage of labor. The work
is to be advertised again and acting

Public Service Joke
A communication from the Public
Service trolley company stated that
if the town would furnish the water
the traction people would water the
Bergen car tracks along Broad ave-
nue.. The letter was looked on as
a joke and Clerk Lyons was instruct
ed to notify the trolley people that
unless they wished to break their
franchise, they will have to water the
road and furnish their own water.
WANT OTOSSluS OpcHeu
A petition was presented at the
meeting asking the council to take
steps to compel the Public Service
people to open the crossing at the
waiting room on the Palisade' trolley
line. Hudson place, which extends
through to the borough of Cliffside
Park, is cut off at this point to vehicle
traffic by the fence recently erected
along the trolley tracks. The matter
will be taken up with the traction
people at once.
In letter to Mayor Lyons, regard
ing the Fairview avenue improve
ment, Colonel Stevens said that he
die not consider it, an economical
move on the part Of the taxpayers to
turn the proposition down. Mr..
Stevens made reference to the ex
pense that the road is each year and
said that in his opinion it would have
been a money saver to the borough
had the proposition gone through.
The clerk was authorized to draw
check for $40, payable to the Eastern
Bergen Improvement Association,
which is to be added to the fund be-
ing raised to fight the epidemic of
infantile paralysis.
Recorder Schulz handed in a re-
port that showed $103 was collected

that So arrests were made during the
month.

lieves will prove most beneficial to
the members of the force.
A meeting of the entire depart

which all the new laws and revisions
of the old laws are gone into thor
oughly. This method, it is hoped by

Evening

The red-gold glory of departing day
Lies like a sea of splendor in the
West;
And Nature to her children all doth
say
A soft goodnight, and bushes them
to rest.
The Earth her form in pearl-gray mist
enshrouds,
While silence hovers in the glim-
mering light;
Across the sky sail little fleecy clouds,
Kissed by the rosy lips of coming
night
l stand quite still, and by the deep
ening hush,
| know the supreme moment
draweth near
When, from the whispering shade of
yonder bush,
The nightingale pours forth his
music clear.
He sings; and floods of broken melody,
Like showers Of angels tears fall
ing from heaven,
Pour from his swelling throat. In
ecstasy,
The stars look down at all the joy
thus given.
He sings of all the good that ever
was,
Of all the joys that have been, and
will be;
Tears spring unbidden to my eyes
because
I long to have you listening here
with me.
