Inoilicially, men identified with
the State Tax Commission say
that if the ruling of the court at
Frederick is permitted to stand.
not only is any reassessment Of
property impossible. but the col
lection of taxes on assessments
now existing is illegal and no
taxes can be collected for the
present year, it claims. whether
State or local. are contested. The
case will, Of course, 90 to the

Secrets Of Life
Subject OF Lecture

A large number Of earnest and in
terested persons were present at the
Congregational Church parlors on
Tuesday evening last to hear the lee
ture arranged by the Mems Club de-
livered by Prof. George w. Hunter,
of Dewitt Clinton High School, on
"Heredity." This was one of the
series arranged by the club on the
"Man Wonderful in the House Beauti-
full" Professor Hunters text book on
Biology" is the one used in Grant
wood High School.
Professor Hunter showed how the
complex called life was largely made
up of the elements habit, heredity and
environment. The first lecture of the
series, as given by DR.. J. E. White,
had illustrated the first. Professor
Hunter said that the habits for after
life were largely determined between
the ages of ten and fifteen. Heredity
or what we received from our parents
with our life was wrapped up in the
two cells, the egg cell and the sperm
cell which call us into being. If in
one of these cells there was one
extra "chromosone" the being would
be male; if the chromosomes in the
two cells were equal the result would
be female.
Professor Hunter spoke of the i'm
portant investigation on the feeble
minded made by Goddard at the Vine
land, N. j., institution, and those
made by Charles Davenport, of the
Carnegie Foundation, at Cold Spring,
under the general title of Eugenics,
or the Science of being well-born."
He cited the famous Callicatta case
to show that feeble mindedness could
be transmitted from generation to
generation.
The next lecture will be by Prin-
cipal Leon Goodrich, of School No.
62, New York City, on March 81.
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1916-02-19

the county, and in fact is the only
private concern of any magnitude
that is furnishing water, has led to
the investigation by the Public IT'LL
ity Commission of the rates and serv-
ice of that company.
"'The question thus opened up has
brought in plain view the necessity
of an adequate water supply for Ber-
gen county, both as regards potable
water and sufficiency of service.
"'The rapid growth of Bergen
county in the last ten years compels
a proper investigation of this sub
ject. The water shed of the Hack
ensack Water Company lies in a
district which may soon become thick
ly populated and the question of con-
tamination alone without going into
the matter of sufficiency Of service,
is sufficient to warrent preparation
for the requirement and maintenance
Of water shed beyond the zone of
such contamination.
The Wanaque water shed as now
being developed by Newark, Pater-
son, Passaic and other places, on
account of its proximity to Bergen
county, is proposition which should
be thoroughly and carefully investi-
gated before the most available
means of water supply are disposed
OF in a manner which will prevent
the participation of Bergen county in
such source of supply.
The undertaking is large one.
and the division of Bergen county
in small municipalities presents many
problems, all of which will take time
and legislation to properly solve. It
is not too early to start now upon
our quest for a proper source of
water supply, SO that we may have
time to get the needed legislation and
procure the cooperation of the vari-
Gus municipalities, and be ready for
the situation when the necessity
arises
Judge Seufert is probably better
Informed on this water subject than
anyone in Bergen county, and we
should heed his warning.
I'VE recommend that preliminary
survey be made at once, if co-opera-
ton can be secured, at a cost not
to exceed $500.

his example? Born in obscurity, a
continual struggle for existence in
his childhood, greater struggle for
knowledge until he reached manhood,
yet in spite of terrible hardships he
never swerved in the path leading
toward the goal of an uprighteous
life. So let it be with each of the
young men in your Civic League.
Let nothing swerve you in your earn
est endeavor to be of benefit to the
community at large. You will meet
many rebuffs in your undertakings,
some of your best friends may ridi-
cule you, and the young men of the
important committees who have to
deal with the public at large will be-
come discouraged many times in try
ing to arouse interest in some move
ment they feel sure will result in
great good, but do not let that in
terfere with your purpose. You have
undertaken a great work, continue it
in spite of everything.
Take interest in the workings Of
our borough council. Have your Sec
rotary procure copy of the minutes
of the meetings which are being
printed in pamphlet form since jan
uary /, and if the mayor and council
can be of any assistance to you, we
will gladly help you.
Keep in touch with everything in
connection with your borough even in
a small way, and let us hope that
when you are old enough to assume
public duty, whether it is thrust upon
you or that you honestly. seek the
the honor, organizations such as the
Junior Civic League will have edu-
Gated the people so that such thing
as graft and dishonesty will be un-
heard of, and by that time woman
also will lend helping hand to purify
the political atmosphere.
The home man, the man with
family may then be enticed to enter
the political arena without fear of
having every vestige of his character
ripped to pieces by unthinking per-
sons. The professional politician will
also be thing of the past.
Your Civic League can accomplish
wonderful things if you enter into
the spirit of it with that stick-to-i-
tive-ness that is absolutely necessary
to achieve anything.
First of all you must respect your
self and in that way compel others
to respect you, and in the words of
Shakespeare, ITO thine own self be
true, And it must follow, as the night
the day, Thou canst not be false to
any man."
Wishing your entertainment every
success, and again regretting my in
ability to be present, am,
Cordially yours,
Edward A. White,
Mayor,

Dear Allan:
I sincerely regret that previous
engagement prevents my accepting
your kind invitation for the evening
of February eleventh, and feel sure
that / will miss rare treat.
wish you would convey to the
members of the Junior Civic League
my earnest desire to render all the
assistance in my power for the
objects of the association. You have
accomplished excellent results along
the line you have laid out, and under
the able direction of Mrs. Darby, l
feel sure your league will not only
become of great benefit to the Bor-
ought of Fort Lee, but also to the
entire eastern section of Bergen
county.
This is indeed an appropriate time
for your entertainment, the eve Of
the birthday of the immortal Lincoln,
our martyred President. What bet
ter way can you render homage to
his illustrious name than to emulate

1.-The Charity Ball.
At Hudson Theater

"The Charity Ball." one of the best
and most successful plays produced
by those noted collaborators, David
Belasco and Henry c. DeMille, will
be presented by the Hudson Players
at the Hudson Theater next week.
Some years ago "The Charity BALI
was the most talked-about play of
the period; it had scored a phenome-
nal hit, and after prolonged engage
ment in New York City it was re-
ceived everywhere with great enthu-
siasm. Since then the play has never
lost favor with the public, and no mat
ter how many times it is revived it
arouses interest and attracts general
attention.
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1916-02-19

Plays of the type of "The Charity
Ball' never lose their popularity;
they become classics in the realm of
melodrama, and the standard by which
succeeding melodramas are judged.
AS long as there is a spark of senti-
ment in the human breast, so long
will "The Charity Ball' and similar
plays hold their grip upon patrons of
the theater.
"The Charity Ball" owes it's last
ing success entirely to the fact that
it appeals to the better element in
mankind, and arouses noble thoughts
and inspires truer and higher love
between man and woman.
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1916-02-19

"The plan, as far as it concerns us
in Bergen county, consists in laying
trunk lines from the western part
of the county at a point nearest to
the Wanaque District and most avail
able for connection and extension
over the county in such manner as
to permit the various municipalities
in making their own connections.
"a municipality may either build
a new pipe line system within it's
borders or acquire by purchase or
condemn existing lines. This is for
future consideration.
"The present object of those mu-
inequalities actively interested in the
subject is to obtain authoritative
information from which they may de-
eide whether the project is feasible
and will result in a guaranteed serv-
ice for years to come of a good pot
able water at rates materially less
and service actually superior than
now found in existing conditions
through the county.
"a preliminary survey at an esti-
mate of $500 distributed as below
set forth, will give such information
and enable those interested to intel
ligently decide whether or not to go
further in the matter.
Judge William NJ Seufert says:
:" The water problem in Bergen
county presents one of the greatest
questions for the municipalities to
solve which has ever arisen in the
county. Complaints against the serv-
ice of the Hackensack Water Com
pany, which supplies a large part of

palities, with a total valuation of
$113,OOO,0O0, who are now using
water furnished by a private corpor-
alton. We have listed the names and
valuations, and for your information
beg to say that if all participate in
the approximate cost ($3,500) of a
preliminary survey from the Wanna
que water shed to the northern part
of Bergen county in proportion to
their valuation, the rate will be .0033
on each $500 valuation. This amount
is approximately that of the District
Court tax now on our tax bills:
