Public Service Fence
Broken Down At
Night In Grantwood

Resentment against the objection
able wire fence recently put up
through the borough OF Cliffside by
the Public Service along it's car tracks,
has been asserted in Grantwood.
About fifty feet or more of the fence
just south of Goemann's drug store,
has been pushed over by some one.
The wire fence is no respecter of
persons, and runs right up close to
DR.. Goemann's store, and also the
fire house. In speaking of the situa-
ton this week a prominent member
Of the Citizens Club said:
at was mean trick to build this
fence through the borough. It does
nobody any good. We shall seek re-
dress in some manner, you may rest
assured of that"

Telephone Cable
Sepered By Chisel

A chisel driven into the telephone
cable of the New York Telephone
Company Saturday evening at the
pole near the Gorge road trolley
trestle, Grantwood, was the cause Of
the cessation of telephone service in
the Cliffside section for the greater
part of two days. Complaints be-
gan to be heard from householders
early Sunday morning and continued
through Monday, and some not even
getting their service until Wednesday
morning.
Upon investigation it was learned
that the severing of the cable had al
lowed water to run down the pole to
the underground wires and thus shut
off the current. The telephone service
for Cliffside and adjacent sections is
part of the general system of New
York City, it's own current, however,
being generated in the Cliffside CEN
trail office by the battery system.

Bergen county's business was at

the Board of Freeholders last Wed
nesday. just 80 minutes were con-
sumed. The county's roads, hos
pitfalls, finances and health were the
chief things considered
Considerable interest was aroused
by the reading Of an urgent letter
from an official of the Jersey Journal
Fresh Air Fund referring to the
offer of the Fund to sell its property
near Allendale for use as the site for
a tuberculosis preventorium. This
offer had been submitted to the
Board on April 5, and no reply had
been made. Why the delay? was
demanded. The reply of Director
Eager for the Board was then read.
The reply pointed to the two prin-
clpal obstacles in the way of the
Boards immediate acceptance of the
Funds offer, namely: the great initial
cost of the institution even for 40 or
80 patients; 2, the fact recently

Other items of interest were the
appropriating of $4,000 toward the

ment by Freebooter Kinzley that the
County Collector had succeeded in
saving $4,000 to the county in in

OLD HELL HOLE ROAD IS NOW OBSOLETE.

The Palisades Interstate Park Com
missioners officially opened the mas
sive steel arch Popolopen bridge at
Bear Mountain last Saturday in the
presence of large number of officials
and guests.
Mrs. E. H. Hartman, one of the
largest donors to this gigantic park
system was the first to cross the
bridge in her automobile. The West
Point band and officers of the mill
tary academy were witnesses to the
ceremony.
Luncheon was served to the party
in the new Bear Mountain Inn.
George w. Perkins, president of the
Interstate Park Commission, made
the dedicatory speech as follows:
1.-THE Popolopen Viaduct opened
for traffic to-day is six hundred feet
long and higher from the water than
is the Brooklyn bridge. This via
duct has been constructed of steel
and cement by the Palisades Inter-
state Park Commission and the
Highway Department of the State of
New York. The Commission has
paid for the viaduct, and the High
way Department has paid for the
abutments and the road construction
necessary to approach the viaduct
at either end The viaduct elimin-
ates the long, tortuous route down
the north and south banks of Popo-
lopen Creek and through what is
known as He'll Hole and which up to
this time has been a very danger
Gus and difficult road to travel, as all
travellers on the west bank of the
1 1fudson know s-aaast s-e
"This viaduct connects the Bear
Mountain section of the Hartman
Park with Highland Falls and West
Point, eliminates the long tortuous
route down through He'll Hole, and
makes it possible to go from Bear
Mountain to West Point by automo-
bile in about twenty minutes over a
safe and beautiful road through an
interesting part of the country, with
views of the Hudson River on the
east and the foothills on the west
| that are exceedingly attractive.
'The Palisades Park Commission
owns the land at both ends of the
viaduct. On the south it owns the
land that was occupied during Revo-
| lutionary times as the site of Fort
| Clinton. On the north end it owns
the land that was occupied during
Revolutionary times as the site of
Fort Montgomery. With the opening
of this viaduct the Commission will
proceed to mark the location occu-
pied by these two famous forts and
develop the adjacent property as
public recreation grounds"
The new boat of the Commission,
known as the Palisades" made
her inaugural trip last Sunday after
noon at 3 o'clock, leaving the pier
at the foot of 132nd street, New
York City, with number of invited
guests. The boat was put in regu-
lar service on last Monday, making
two round trips a day to Bear
Mountain.
The Palisades" is equipped with
oil burning engines and other novel

1t is rumored around these parts
that Mayor Henry Wissel, of Edge
water, has srccumbed to the plead
ings of his friends and has at last
consented to run for the office of
Sheriff. Some of the most promi-
nent men of both parties in Edge
water and also in the county are said
to be backing Mayor Wissel for
winner, but as yet it is not possible
to divulge their names. This an
nouncement came somewhat as a sur
prise the early part of this week, but
many of the mayors friends stated
that they knew it had to happen, for
he is too popular and well-liked for
his light to be hidden under a bushel
Indefinitely.
Henry Wissel is now serving his
second term as mayor of the Borough
of Edgewater, and if a record means
anything in the coming campaign he
should be able to match his with the
best. Both times that he was elected
to office there was not the slightest
opposition from single element in
the entire borough. Everyone at
home acknowledged him a man of
deeds, not words, and were only too
pleased to have so able man
at the head of their government.
The, first thing Mayor Wissel did

lighting system of the streets has
not only been greatly improved since
he came into Office, but the efficiency
of the police department has been so
much increased that it is great
source of pride to every resident of
the borough. Last and not least by
any means are the wonders accom-
plished by Mayor Wissel with the
Edgewater Fire Department. Realiz-
ing the large money interests to be
protected, it was the mayors hobby
to build such system of fire pro-
lection that the possibility Of any
serious destruction by fire would
practically be eliminated. The de-
partment is now composed of the
finest automobile engines and trucks
