proper authority.
Who's Who and Why
The next episode takes place al
the council meeting. Everybody
seemed hankering to get in on the
coming fight, none dared to start
The mayor started the ball arollin
when he mentioned that bids were or
hand from the Indian Motorcycle
Company, represented by Mr.. Rene
of Union Hill. Several machines
were quoted and upon receiving per-
mission Mr.. Rene addressed the coun,
Gil on the merits of his product. A
quick answer resulted in the per-
son of a representative of Ter
hume, of Hackensack, and a lively
verbal duel was soon in progress
Time apparently meant nothing and
the members of the council were soon
passing the chin music rather lively
Mayor Cadien bringing order out
of chaos, permitted resolution, Of
fered by Mr. Flood, to be read. Mr.
Flood, of course, wanted an Indian
machine, and although the specifica-
lions were rather hazy and the mat
ter of a speedometer was a verbal
offer from Mr.. Rene, the vote went
through with Councilman Cohn reg
istering in the negative and Council
man Naedler protesting vigorously.
To Spread Tarvia
Engineer Steve McClave gave an
interesting report on the relative
costs and value of crude oil for
roads VS.. Tarvia. He stated that
while Tarvia cost almost three times
as much as crude oil, Tarvia was
guaranteed for three years and he
assured the council that the Tarvia
would last five years because of the
small amount of vehicle traffic. He
recommended that Tarvia be spread
on Edgewater road, Morningside
avenue, Washington place, Day
avenue, Riverview place, Main street
John street and Nagel street. Mr.
McClave reported that it would moi
be wise to spread Tarvia on roads that
had been oiled last year as the
chemical preparation would not hold
on oily surfaces. 1t was deemed best
to have certain streets spread with
Tarvia this year and those streets
that are to receive the treatment
next year would not be oiled this
year.
Barr Avenue Sewer
Attorney Agnew offered to the
Board of Council the proposition
made by the property owners on Barr
avenue who desire to build sewer
and connect with the Cliffside sewer
and obtain the benefits of the disposal
plant. The property owners propose
to build their own sewer, under the
supervision of the borough engineer
and pay the borough the regular
sewer assessment of So per lot and
in addition pay to the borough $500
Talk on Apparatus
Counselor Agnew reported that the
borough officials were entitled ac-
cording to law, to spend $4,000 for
fire apparatus, and can, should it be
necessary, issue improvement GER
tificates, not to run over five years
to raise the amount of money needed
to get suitable apparatus. He Of
fered a resolution endorsed by Coun-
Gilman Naedler, to advertise fo1
bids. Mr.. Flood was on his feet in 9
minute and uttered string of pro-
testations. He appears to be We
hemently opposed to new apparatus
Mr.. Flood asked if the apparatus
that had faithfully served for many
years was not in good condition. He
stated that he had made very care
full canvass and that he found enough
people who did not want to spenc
5000. He also stated that gooC
many firemen were opposed to the
expenditure at this time and that he
would fight any attempt to spene
money for this purpose. He pro
posed to put the matter over unit
the fall and have popular vote
on it.
Firemen Offer Salary
Councilman Naedler answered Mr.
Flood effectively when he stated thai
he was prepared to speak for mum
Der of fremen who were willing tx
offer their yearly salary of S12 to {
fund to help pay the cost of new ap
paratus. Councilman Hoeckelbere
clearly stated that were an ordel
placed at once it would be months
before an auto engine could be de
livered, and that should the matter
be forced to wait until the fall fol
action 1t would mean announcer year o.
danger of fire hazards.
The motion was put to vote, Mr.
Flood answered, "of course, Mop Al
the councilmen in turn registered il
the affirmative and Councilman
Naedler voted, "of course, Yes!"
Mayor Makes Remarks
Mayor Cadien took up the question
of new fire apparatus in mighty
broad fashion. He handled the situa
ton without gloves and stirred the
citizens in the audience with his
mastery appeal. The mayor dwell
particularly on the poor pressure a
the fire plugs and that in view OF thu
fact that he Hackensack Water GO
would do nothing to improve this
pressure, it was fair and square W
to the council to find means of getting
