Grantwood Masons
Plan Big Bazaar

Plans for the big Masonic bazaar to
be held in the new temple on Knox
avenue, Grantwood, very shortly are
progressing rapidly and the commit
tee Of arrangements, which is head.
ed by William H. Halpin, of Wood
cliff, hopes to have all details
completed in short time.
Of course one of the big features
of the bazaar will be the handsome
six-cylinder, five passenger Buick
automobile that will be disposed OF
on the closing night of the fair.
Shares for this machine are now
being disposed of by an energetic
committee of statesmen, and, judg-
ing by the many thousands of shares
already disposed of, the statesmen are
not to be called amateurs by any
means.
In addition to the automobile there
will be costly solid gold watch,
presented to the person who gets the
automobile, while numerous other ex-
pensive articles are also being Sc
sured for the affair.

Citizens Club Will
Endorse a Council
Candidate Monday

The Citizens Club of Cliffside has
at last come forward with their plans
for the coming fight and removed
the guesswork from the gossips.
Former Councilman Warren E. Sam
mis- will be the man to receive the
sanction of the club as candidate for
council. This action was decided up
on at the meeting of the Executive
Committee held week ago Thursday
at the home OF President j. w. Ia
briskie, although the news was only
given out this week.
The plans to name man to run
for Mayor have not been finally de-
cided upon. At the Executive meet
ing several names were mentioned
to run as candidates on the Citizens
Club ticket, but as those proposed
politely declined, the matter was left
over to be taken up at the regular
meeting of the club on next Monday
night. However, it was given out
that none of the present candidates
were mentioned for the clubs en-
dorsement, other than Mr.. Sammis;
but it is believed by many members
that the naming of mayorality can
didate will be made at the meeting.

OTHER TOWNS AFFECTED SAME WAY.

Fort Lee has never in its history
enjoyed a boom. 1t has never felt
the pulsating influences, the thrill of
a great building period when the hum
of the saw and the rap, rap, rap! of
the hammer echoed through its an
atomy from center to the border
lines.
But at the present time there is
the greatest demand for living quar-
tiers, houses, rooms, ETC., ever re-
corded. The whole town is taxed to
take care of the influx of people who
are anxious for homes. There never
was anything like it.
Said one prominent man in speak
ing of the situation:
"If l had fifty houses | could rent
them every one in month at from
twenty to forty dollars each. A four
room house that used to go begging
at eight to ten dollars month in
Fort Lee is worth today twenty to
thirty dollars"
"What is the cause of all this ~
he was asked.
"Several things, the war and the
movies. While there is no special
boom in the moving picture enter
prises, they are contributing factors
in a way to the present demand for
houses and rooms. Large produc-
lions like Polly of the Circus cannot
be made in day or week, and the
performers, l should say actors, are
here sometimes for months. before
finishing. Naturally those who have
families like to live near their place
of employment. This is one cause
for such great demand for houses
Then, too, heeecantonments IN THIS
section are bringing out great horde
of working people. They want to
be near at hand. Fort Lee is not
the only place where the demand for
homes and rooming quarters is great.
Every town and village Of this sec
ton feels it."
Many of the best homes in Pail
SADIE are daily visited by men and
women seeking rooming quarters
Few of them can get accommodated,
of course. But up in Fort Lee the
pressure is really amazing.

In Auto Collision

Hackensack, Sept 14.-Mrs Mamie
Cazzazza, % years old, of 312 High
street, West Hoboken, is lying in the
Englewood Hospital in serious con-
dition as a result of an autmobile
accident which took place yesterday
at Englewood.
Mrs. Cazzazza was riding in. side
car attached to motorcycle driven
by Stephen Sistanovitch, of 100
Madison street, Hoboken. When
nearing Englewood, an automobile,
coming in the opposite direction
crashed into the cycle, overturning
it. The automobile was owned and
driven by Mrs. Sadie Bradshaw, OF
ITO East Twenty-ffth street, Pater-

unavoidable.
Mrs. Cazzazza was rushed to the
hospital, where her condition is
causing her friends anxiety. The
young man was not injured.

There was some talk few weeks
ago that Naval Officer H. Otto Witt
penn, Democrat, Of Hudson county,
and Everett Colby, Republican, of
Essex, would be appointed, and the
newspapers published rumors to that
effect from Washington, but this pro-
gram was never carried out to any
extent.
Mr.. Fielder served in the Senate
when Wilson was Governor, and sue
ceeded as Acting Governor when the
Jersey man went to the White House
on March 4, 1913. Later that same
year Mr.. Wilson showed his great
confidence in Mr.. Fielder by cham
pioning him as a candidate for Gov
ernor and asking Mr.. Wittpenn to
withdraw from the race in his favor.
There have been many other tokens
of President Wilson's esteem for the
Hudson man.

A VERY BUSY EVENINGS WORK.

Several interesting incidents, indi-
rectly Ringing on the coming political
campaign tended to mar the Cliff
side Coucil meeting held last Monday
night at the Borough Hall. The dis
cussion over the awarding of the
contract, the Engineers Report and
routine business were dragged
through and some important phases
of the Borough business were opened
to the public.
Award Contract
The bids on the Jersey avenue i'm
provement were received and read.
Separate bids were advertised on the
sidewalk and the curb and gutter
work. The Doralan Engineering and
Contracting Company bid 321s cents
a square foot on the sidewalk, total
$4,000; the Bergen Contracting Com
pany 40 cents square foot or $40
and Capoletta Brothers bid SO cents
a square foot or $44840
On the curb and gutter bids, the
Doralan figures were 1.471z lineal
foot or $501.50; the Bergen Contract
ing Company S1.3O lineal foot or
$4,000 and Capoletta Brothers bid
$1.65 lineal foot or $561.
Competitive Contractors
The discussion was caused on the
ACCESSIBILITY of sharing competitive
firms work on the same street and
Borough Engineer Steve McClave
stated that it would be an impossible
task, as the companies would inter
fere with each others work. The
figures were then combined, showing
the Doralan Company as lowest, $943
so; the Bergen Contracting Company
only $42.50 higher with a bid Of
$4,000 and Capoletta Brothers COM
bined bid was $1,000.
The Borough Engineer and Road
Committee examined all the bids and
Councilman Flood, chairman of the
committee, expressed doubts over
the practicability of handing out con-
tracts to new companies.
Local Contractors Favored.
Mr.. F. l.. Smith, of the School
Board, opposed Mr. Floods sug-
gestion that the contract be awarded
to the Bergen Contracting Company,
with the remark that he is the En-
gineer for the Doralan Company and
has been connected with the. company

American Navy Was
Never So Well Off
Says Sec'tary Daniels

Annapolis, Md, Sept. 14-Pointing
to the past years $2,OO0,00O,O0O ap-
propriated, or now pending, for an
increased navy, and to vast bond and
revenue bills as evidence, Secretary
of Navy Daniels to-day declared the
United States is in the war until she
wins. Speaking at the graduation Of
the first ensigns of the Naval reserve
he said: H.
"If any man doubts that the Amer
lean people are ready to wage TINS
righteous war to victory, no matter
what the cost, he need only read the
messages and acts of the President
and the legislation and approprIa-
tions, revenue and bond bills that nave
passed Congress. They answer effec-
lively and eloquently the suggestion
of alien critics that America is not
enlisted with all it's resources to free
the world FROM the menace OF Prus-
sianism. l am not publishing a mill
tarv secret when say that, while the
increase in personnel in the past few
months has far surpassed the increase
in material, there are three times as
MANY ships in commission today as
there were six months ago, and ships,
and more ships, from enlarged and
ever-enlarging shipyards are coming
to afford a place upon naval craft for
the thousands of patriotic young men
who have crowded into the navy since
the call was made for increase in
enlistment"
Daniels showed that there were
232.93O enlistments September l as
against 74,342 year ago. AS re-
suit of such an influx, it has been
necessary to limit enlistment, ne said,
but pointed out that trained officers
are needed.

MAN OVERCOME BY GAS
while JET IS BURNING
Edward Bonardi Found Unconscious
by Other Roomers.

Hanging to life by a thread and not ex-
pected to live through the night, Edward
Bonardi, an italian mosaic worker of I'M
certain age is in the Emergency Hos
pital as the result OF gas poisoning.
Bonardi was found unconscious on the
floor Of his room by other dodgers in the
house at 1l4 z street northwest shortly
before I O'Clock yesterday afternoon. A
dim light was burning in the room. Gas
was escaping from another jet in the
chandelier. 1t was necessary to force
entrance to the room.
According to inmates Of the house Bo-
nardi returned home yesterday morning
about o'clock and went directly to his
room. He was not called for break
fast yesterday. and it was not until the
dinner hour approached that he was dis
turbed. Another roomer at the house
called the man. Receiving no reply he
knocked on the door. It was then that
he noted the smell OF gas and called to
other roomers who came to the door and
helped break It down. Physicians at the
Emergency Hospital last night held out
little hope for the recovery of the man.
Roomers at the e street house state
that they know little OF Bonardi. They
said they believed he had a wife and
children in New York.
