is possible to control the supply by
our slaughter houses cooperating to-
gether in the patriotic endeavor to
conserve our food supply by discon-
tinuing the slaughter Of any animal
that is not fully matured.
"This appeal is being made to the
operators of every slaughter house

to this request as well as those not
received and it is my earnest nope
that may be able to report at the

new COUNCIL TAKES UP
REINS OF CITY AFFAIRS

The retiring mayor and council
had a session Tuesday evening to
clean up the unfinished business. The
bills were gone over and disposed of,
When the paving was laid on
Taylor street last year, the ditch
that supplies the lawn and garden
of Mr.. Beane was destroyed and he
asked that a conduit be furnished by
the city which was declined on the
advice of the city attorney.
A petition to abate the odors from
the hog yards north of the fair
grounds and statement was made
that it was not within the city limits
but was within the Jurisdiction of
the county and should be acted on
by the county commissioners.
The retiring council was consider
ing the purchase of vacuum street
cleaner for cleaning paving, offered
by the manufacturer for $4,000.
Their Representatives had operated
the machine for few days and had
removed 25 or 80 cubic yards of
dirt, rock and rubbish and had got
ten the paving into condition to test
the practical operations of keeping
it clean as would be done in regular
operation, but the weather had been
too wet to make fair test so it
was left to the incoming council.
Some objections having been rails
ed to allowing new stairways to bel
placed in the sidewalks, and to per-
mitting new ones, it was agreed in
the spring of 1916 that those then
existing should be removed within
year and the obligation to do this
now rests upon the owners of any
remaining stairs.
1t was also stated for the infor-
nation of the new council that the
city Withheld $1,000 of the amount of
the contract prices and also bond
to repair such defects as might be
found necessary within the guaranty
period, and also to cover the cost OF
the flush or top coat on the paving
due to be spread upon it when warm
weather comes
Mayor Peck in laying down the
gavel for his successor, Mr.. A. B.
Stephens, stated that he had attend
ed the council meetings for the past
six years, with the exception Of eight
meetings, and that he hoped that
his successor and any other members
of succeeding administrations would
always feel free to come to him for
information upon any subjects with
which his terms of service as mayor
and councilman had made him
familiar. '- VI

hoped that whatever was undertaken
might be done successfully and in a
way to reflect credit on the council
and give lasting benefit to the city !

FAVORS SENDING U. S.
TROOPS TO FRANCE

1t is understood that the cabinet
already is in favor of sending Ameri-
can troops to France whenever the
allies wish to spare transport ships
for them. A few brigades of picked
national guard troops will probably

enough to make bona fide showing
of American uniforms in the field.

The Italian Failure.

The great German drive against
General Cadorna's Italian army has
been the great surprise of the year.
It proves two things conclusively:
The great striking power of Germany
and Italy's inherent weakness.
But Italy's slipping at critical
stage, where she really was in an adj
vantageous position, does not put
that country out of the running.
Germany has now great victory,
but help will come and hold her back.
Italy's great blunder appears to have
been laundering srtategy-an almost
complete lack of generalship. Either
Cadorna miscalculated, or failed to
make provision for bolstering up his
rear and TANKS. Something was "a
Ideally wrong. If he was short of
ammunition he allowed himself to go
too far without more.
In the meantime, Germany needed
just this thing to put new and needed
morale into her people and her arm
les. She launched the Italian drive
with tremendous impetus and will
be hard to turn back. 1t is all an
other great lesson to the allies that
the Dragon is still rampant, not yet
curbed. Should Germany force Rus

$500 To Be Saved
In Engineer Fees
Alone In Fort Lee

There is no more important part
of Fort Lee Borough's organi-
cation than the Engineer. He
draws down more cash under the
present system by double than all
other officers COMMUNICATIVE as
much.
At the present time nobody
knows even WHO the Borough En-
gineer is, because he never comes
around. His money is sent down
to Perth Amboy with amazing
regularity, and the real work is
done by assistants in Fort Lee.
Was there ever such thing in
existence ANYWHERE? The
NERVE of the thing is APPALL-
ING!
And Mayor White sitting tight
ALWAYS DUMB-on the OBJ
jectionableness and questionable
ness of the engineer situation.
Under Sam Corker there would
be NO MYSTERY about the en-
gineer. And besides, there is
easy and AMPLE OPPORTUNI-
TY to save $500 year on the
office.
$500 A YEAR SAVED IN
THAT ONE DEPARTMENT.
THINK OF 1T!
And voters, this is NOT CAM

Leonia Heights Sewer Facts.
Mayor White Winces Under Straight Story of Its Enormous
$4,000 Expressed Which Newspaper
Alone Is Responsible.

"The Sentinel" of last week got
very warm over the disclosures made
in "The Palisadian" of October 20,
about the Leonia Heights Sewer.
First it charged that the interview
hid the indemnity of the author For
the information Of ''The Sentinel" and
the public in general, it may be
stated here that the interview was
prepared by representative of "The
Palisadian," and the facts obtained
by him. So on the question of the
responsibility for the publication
there is no secret whatever, no hiding
of an identity.
But what has this to do with the
FACTS? The Leonia Heights Sew
er is to cost about 100000, and who
can deny it?
It is fact that the accrued inter
est and other charges now amount to
100000, and who can deny this
Every fact connected with "The
Palisadian's" interview is ABSO-
LUTELY AND UNEQUIvOCALLY
TRUE. Every statement published
was carefully weighed in order that
there could be no comeback.
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1917-11-03

But Mayor White attempts to make
the truth a negative quantity.
You have all heard the old saying,
'THE TRUTH HURTS, SO THEY
CALLED 1T A LIE"
That exactly fits the Leonia
Heights Sewer case.
1t is fact that the general pub
lie was kept purposely in the dark
about this $4,000 sewer expendi-
ture, and it would NEVER have seen
the light of day except for the "Pali-
sadian" interview-an EXPOSURE
which has made the administration
vince, if not stagger under the grave
charge.
Such thing could NEVER happen
under Commission Government. be-
cause there are no star chamber
sessions in that kind of government
Mayor Whites explanation of the
Leonia Heights $195,OOO sewer is
about as clear as the mud through
which the sewer was dug.
Also, is is about as clear as his
explanation Of the FIT ZEN

HHEH u " B
Campaign Lies.

In his anxiety to play the martyr,
the editor Of the Fort Lee Sentinel
last week went off into the realms
Of the unknown in trying to fix re-
sponsibility for the circulation of
campaign lies that he says are now
being circulated. This was the first
time in the series Of spasms the Sem
tinel's editor has had, that he offered
himself as the denouncer Of the
CAMPAIGN LIE. He always man.
ages to find one or more campaign
lies, whether they exist or not
Now, for his benefit and guidance,
there have been no campaign lies
circulated, unless he has done the
job. Certainly Sam Corker has been
the most sincere and discreet man
one would care to meet in days
journey. The Sentinel's citing q
specific instance Of some individual
mixing up statements about the COM
ing tax rates in the nearby boroughs,
does not mean anything. "The Pail
sadian" vouches for the perfect clean
ness Of the Corker plan of conduct
ing his campaign. He has been
above making any kind Of statement
that could in the least be called un-
fair. This is as much and as far as
campaign lies have been circulated.
Can the Sentinel's editor show a.
clean a record?

11ll T. ! ., ., the !, White ';. cam.
ing Of his continued pounding into
the people of the fact that Mayor
White has SACRIFICED HIS BUSI-
NESS for the interests Of the Bor-
ough? He is closely near the point
where some people are liable to think
something on their own account. As
THE PALISADIAN has once before
remarked, any man serving this Bor-
ough in the capacity Of Mayor FOR
NOTHING, and who gives ALL Of
his time to its duties, must be either
very foolish man, or a very rich
man. And besides, Mayor White has
said that Fort Lee is too small to pay
for Commission officers, and there
fore the Borough should be continued
as it is under the old plan, and he
wants to be Mayor under the old plan,
so he can continue to SACRIFICE
HIMSELF under the old plan. Peo-
pie would think MORE Of Mr.. White
if he did not so CONTINUOUSLY
impress his sacrifices upon the public,
