THINGS RUNNING ALONG IN GOOD SHAPE
Dispatching Business

Mayor Cadien and his six council
men and other officials accomplished
another of their record breaking ses-
sions at Cliffside Fire Hall last Mon
day night. The semi-monthly Dor
ough business was attended to in
just ninety minutes, adjournment be-
ing taken at quarter to ten.
Engineers Report
Cliffside Parks official activities
for the last half month were related
by various members, as were also
plans for future action and develop
ment. The status of the great pro-
posed Palisade avenue and Gorge
road Improvement was disposed of in
a word by Engineer McClave, who
reported progress. He promised to
have a full report ready by the
February meeting of the council.
Repairs of Tagging Needed
President Sammis, as chairman of
the roads and sewers committee,
told of the many miles of sidewalk
tagging in the borough which was
in greater or less need of repair.
He planned to take up the matter
with road commissioner Larkin at an
early date. Mr.. Sammis said that in
many cases the flags were uneven and
out of line. He said it was prac-
tically impossible to get the side
walks repaired by AUDITING property
owners, and in fact, legalS questions
were involved in the matter. The
actual cost would be but slight. Mr..
COIN was not so sure of that, as
Knox avenue alone from the trolley
to Anderson avenue would cost from
$35 to $50. Mr.. Sammis said that
the important thing was to get it
done. Mayor Cadien thought it was
a very essential improvement, as
people were likely to break their
necks in some places. Mr.. Cohn
made the point that sidewalks were
not private property but belonged to
the borough. Mr.. Sammis promised
a thorough report on the matter at
the February meeting. Mr.. Naedler
pointed out also the need of better
street crossing conditions.
In the matter of public buildings
and grounds, Mayor Cadien re-
quested Chairman Naedler to pre-
pare a full account for the next
HlteCIHS. I1c uOPcu CiIaC CuC llOW
building code would be ready by that
time.
Public Health Committee to Stand
Councilman Flood made a plea
that the public health committee of
which he was head be abolished.
The Board of Health had gotten their
code now; why should not all reports
of health officers go directly, to it?
Mayor Cadien, however, thought that
it would be better for the council
to retain their present supervision.
School Picnic Funds Still Lag

Palisade Fire Ladies'
Make Marked Success
Of Big Annual Ball

The Palisade fire ladies made
merry on Wednesday evening at
Carney Hall, Grantwood, where they
held their annual ball. 1t was one of
the most successful social events ever
attempted by the company and one
hundred and sixty-two persons were
counted by the reception committee
at the door. There were guests from
all over New Jersey and many New
Workers braved the fog on the river
to participate in Palisades great
get-together party.
1t was a sight well worth seeing,
for the ladies made the festive scene
particularly attractive with their
many beautiful and parti-colored
gowns, set off to greater advantage
by the black evening apparel of the
men, which acted as background.
The orchestra of Mr.. VIM. Cooper

Senator Edge
Raps Senator
Hennessy

Trenton, Jan. Ex-senator Edge,
Republican, of Atlantic City, made
reply to-day to the statement issued
Tuesday by Senator Hennessy, Demo-
crat, of Bergen county, claiming
credit to the Democratic party for
most of the business progress of
New Jersey for the last five years,
and declaring that Senator Edge
should seek some other issue than
that of the business advance the
State has made. Senator Edge said:
my, it's shame the voters Of
New Jersey are so unappreciative as
to have turned back the State control
to US Republicans, isn't it? Perhaps
Senator Hennessy would like to ex-
plain how that happened.
Il noted with smile that Senator
Hennessy claimed great credit for
his party because of the passage of
the Economy and Efficiency bills last
winter, l am glad to learn that Sem
ator Hennessy at last approves Of
them, as he voted against them when
they were before the Senate, so that
the influence of Governor Wilson and
Governor Fielder, which he now talks
about, didn't seem to appeal to him.
Everybody knows that two Demo-
cratic Legislatures failed absolutely
to give the State the Economy and
Efficiency laws, and it required Re-
publican Legislature to make good
on that proposition and likewise to
help sick State treasury after two
years of Democratic control in the
Legislature by cutting down appro-
priations more than $1,000,000."-

New Trolley Line
Now Talked OF For
Fairview Borough

The extension of the Bergenline
trolley from Nungesser's Hotel down
Dan Kelly's hill, to connect with the
Bergen pike line in lower Fairview,
is a scheme that has interested the
mayor and council of Fairview. If
their dreams and plans materialize,
two sections of the town, which are
apparent strangers at the present
time, will be brought into closer re-
lations, and splendid opportunities
will be afforded for the development
of the underhill section, which has
Jagged behind for want of rapid
transit facilities.
The proposed improvement in
cludes the pavement of the entire
hill with Belgian blocks and the as
phalting of the road from Nunges-
ser's to point some hundred feet
above the cemetery entrance. The
plan is still in it's infancy, but was an
interesting topic of discussion at the
council meeting in the Grandview

Horse And Buggy Of
Fort Lee Man Stolen

In the neighborhood of four o'clock
the horse and buggy of Andrew
Hayek, of Fort Lee, was stolen while
he went into the Solax Studio for
business on Thursday afternoon. Mr..
Hayek was in the building not more
than half an hour, when upon COM
ing out, he was much surprised to
find that his vehicle had disappeared.
At first he thought that the horse
had either run or strayed away, but
investigation soon revealed the fact
that such was not the case. Four
automobiles from Arthur Kerwein's
Garage were sent out in different di-
rections almost Immediately to see if
they could possibly overtake the
thief, but up until late hour Fri
day night nothing had been seen of
the horse and buggy. The disappear
ance was almost as complete as
though the earth had suddenly opened
and swallowed up the horse and ALL

account of the recent thaw, it ran
off into slight ditch, but after con-
tinuing there for some $50 feet or
more, was finally righted, and the
car went along as though nothing
had taken place, until some one of
the party called to the driver to stop.
When the car lurched to the right,
young Tierney was thrown through
the glass side, and at that moment
the car top brushed against the tele-
phone pole, Tierney's head being
crushed between the side of the car
and the pole and so quickly that his
life went out like a flash. The con-
dition of the head indicated that
the car must have been going very
fast, or the driver would have heard
the jar of the impact. Why he did
not know of the awful mishap before
he was called from within, is one of
the deep mysteries of the accident.
The car was literally covered with
the blood and brains of the killed
man, no one else being in the slight
est hurt. The sudden lurching of
the car, together with its speed,
must have caused the party to feel
certain kind of daze. And when they
discovered young Tierney with his
head shattered, the shock to their
nerves must have been something
terrible. They had gone some dis
lance before they saw Tierney
crumpled up in the corner of the car.
The party made the driver take
them to the home of DR.. Charles A.
Richardson, of Closter, but of course
his services were unnecessary.
Detective Louis Nestel arrested
the chauffeur, Burton Schamp, and
held him in $1,000 bond for examin-
alton. The bond was furnished by
William Marley. The charge is
manslaughter.
He was buried Wednesday morn
ing in Mt. Carmel Cemetery, High
wood, after the funeral services in
St. Cecilia church, Englewood. The
services were attended by a large
gathering of prominent individuals
and friends.

One of the most tragic automobile
accidents ever recorded anywhere
took place about six o'clock last Sum-
day morning between Norwood and
Closter, a few miles north of Engle-
wood. A well-known young lawyer,
Harold E. Tierney, was instantly
killed, his entire face being torn off,
according to reports that reached
"The Palisadian."
The cause of the accident was a
blow against a telephone pole on the
side of the road. The party in the
car, consisting of Tierney, George
Tillottson, son of Joseph Tillottson,
editor of the Englewood Press, and
the driver, one Schamp, of the Marley
Garage, to which the auto belonged,
and also Joseph Murray and Morti-
mer Reed, all friends of Tierney, and
all well-known young men about
Englewood.
From published accounts, it seems
that the party had taken Mr.. and
Mrs. F. E. Everett, of Nyack, to their
home. They had arrived in Engle-
wood too late for the last trolley
and being friends of Mr.. Tierney, he
arranged for the car to take them
to Nyack. Just why the party was
so long in getting back from Nyack,
is not stated, but the trip caused
them to make night of it.
There has been much speculation
concerning the frightful accident
that took place. Tierney's head was
almost torn off his shoulders, his face
being unrecognizable, and his skull
smashed to a pulp, parts of it being
found on the mudguard, and other
portions of it on the inside of the
limousine. That the car was being
driven at great speed is also sur
missed from the terrible injury that
caused the death of the young
lawyer. 1t is supposed that the
driver allowed the car to leave the
road, and the ground being soft on

The first annual banquet of the real
estate board of the State Chamber of
Commerce was held in Newark last
evening and real estate men from all
parts of the State were present. The
opportunities of the State in general,
and real estate values in particular,
and the possibilities for development
of resources. with prophecies of I'M
told prosperity for this State, were
among the things touched upon by
the various speakers.
Among the needs for this State to
bring about the development that, in
the language of Thomas N. McCar-
ter, president of the Public Service
Corporation, the principal speaker of
the evening, would put the State
where it ought to be, was vehicular
transportation facilities between this
State and the State of New York
He pointed out that ferry service
could never meet the needs of the
extensive present day motor traffic
and that the cost of bridge would
be prohibitive. The only remedy
would be a tunnel for vehicular traf-
fic, Mr.. McCarter declared.
The Importance of good roads was
another point on which the speaker
said New Jerseys future hinged, and
finally he advocated the electrical
ton of all the railroads in the State.
AS another ,sorely needed improve
ment, Mr.. McCarter took up the sub
ject Of good roads. He called to the
attention Of tn 3diners how NeW Jer-
sey tnme yeaf1f ago was leacl8 n Il
respect to gocY roads, but how the
State had permitted the roads to de-
teriorate until to-day conditions in
some parts of the State were Shock
ing"
Mr.. McCarter made special mention
of the fine roads in Bergen county
however, exempting it from the shock
ing conditions which, he said, existed
in other parts of the State.
Speaking of the necessity to have
part of the railroads in the State
electrified, Mr.. McCarter warned
against heaping too much abuse on
the roads and also harrassing them
CONTINUOUSLY VII tIlC QucSIlOil VI 1dTSS
Under such criticism, Mr.. McCarter
said, one could hardly expect the
roads to do something for the welfare
of the State.
"The time has come" said the
speaker, "when we must take more
cheerful outlook on life and must re-
frain from thinking every man a
rascal just because he is earning a
dollar
Mr.. McCarter concluded his re-
marks by saying:
There is plenty of prosperity for
all of US. I can conceive a veritable
beehive of industry and other activi-
ties in this State for the future"
Others who made brief addresses
were Arthur Brisbane, editor of the
New York Journal; Henry Crofute
White, of the State Conservation
Commission; Edwin @. Bell, of New
York, and former Congressman, J.
Thompson Baker, of New Jersey.
Charles F. Johnson, of Passaic,
president of the real estate board,
acted as POSTMASTER.

Guilty Of Defacing
Palisades With Signs

An evidence of the determination
of the powers of law and order in
New Jersey to protect the Palisades
on the Hudson river from deface-
ment by signs, or otherwise, is seen
in the action of Judge Tenant at
Jersey City Court House last Tues
day in adjudging one Alexander
Lamb guilty of such an act. Lamb
admitted to having partically erected
a bill board or sign board on the face
of the Palisades.
The decision of Judge Tenant
was based on section 152 of the
Crimes Act of 1898, which makes the
placing of signs on the Palisades of
the Hudson river a misdemeanor.
