time. He also stated that it would
not be wise to go ahead with the i'm
provement should the, United States
be plunged into war. 1t was agree
able to him to have the Board OF
Council pass the improvement reso-
luton, but asked that work be de-
layed until prices go down a bit. The
entire Board of Council agreed with
Mr.. Hersche and decided to act as
he wished. No objections were pre-
scented to the laying of the sidewalk
on Anderson avenue, and this work
will be put through.
Fairview Mayor Speaks
Mayor Lyons, of Fairview, was a
welcomed visitor at the meeting.
Mayor Cadien took up the PROPOSE
ton of opening Hudson place, and III
reporting on this needed improve
ment stated that on his last trip to
| Newark to the Public Service head
quarters he learned that the plans
and proposition of the Highway Com
mission was holding up the hands of
the Public Service people, and as
they could not go ahead with any
plans or make any proposition until
they knew what the Borough of Cliff
side Park intended doing with their
highway. Mr.. Boland, of the Public
Service Co., could do nothing for
Mayor Lyons, and it was up to the
Cliffside council and the Highway
Commission to take the next step.
Mayor Lyons requested the Cliff
side council to take some decisive
action on the matter, and, if the pro-
posed highway was going to inter
fere with the opening of streets, it
would be more advisable to have the
streets opened first and the highway
made a secondary consideration.
Mayor Cadien agreed fully with
Mayor Lyons and directed Attorney
Arthur Agnew to get some action
started. Mr.. Agnew is member of
the Highway Commission and he
asked that joint meeting be held.
It was agreed that the Commission
could drop it's present plans, tenn
porarily, and thus take away every
vestige of excuse that the Public
Service might use to hinder the
street opening plans. A special
meeting will be held Sunday morn
ing at Kamena street, at which Of
ficials of Cliffside and Fairview Dor
oughs will get together to decide on
improvements in that section.
| Firemen are Prepared
An interesting communication from
Engine Co. No. l, Of the Cliffside
| fire department, was received. The
members of that company, at re-
cent meeting, unanimously decided to
go on record and offer their services
to the borough to aid the Police De-
partment should any emergency arise.
Mayor Cadien warmly thanked the
members of the fire company for
their generous offer and the open
manifestation of true patriotic spirit,
and he further ordered that a COM
munication Of thanks be given the
firemen and that their offer be ac-
cepted.
| Protests from Lincoln Avenue
| A petition protesting the improve
ment of Lafayette avenue at this
over to the attorney and borough
engineers to report on it at the next
meeting.
| Protest from Fort Lee
The Fort Lee Board of Council
sent in letter claiming that the
drain at Palisade junction was
emptying into their sewer and that
the Cliffside council take action to
have his remedied. The communica-
ton was turned over to the borough
engineers to look into the matter
and report on it.
Fight Over Motorcycle
The much heralded predetermined
display promised to be released when
the motorcycle fight should be
brought up, only developed into a
weak fizzle and left two motorcycle
statesmen thinking hard things of each
other. The situation was brough,
on in this way: the Police Committee
held a meeting last week. Several
recent complaints that might have
been avoided had the borough motor
cycle cop been on hand, and the threat
ened emergency made it imperative
that a motorcycle be purchased at
once. Councilman Naedler, acting
with the best interests of the police
department and public safety, order
ed a Harley-Davidson cycle to be de-
livered at once at the contract price
of 1922. This machine came to the
borough ready for immediate service
1t was electrically equipped and hac
new model speedometer, Endorsed
by all police officials. When 10 anc
behold, Councilman Flood arrives
home after a busy day and is tolc
that a motorcycle is on hand ready
for duty. By the way, Mr.. FLOOD
was not present at the meeting of the
Police Committee, and for one to &c
ahead and order motor cycles anc
things, without letting him in on il
was not to be tolerated. Well, being
agreeable, Mr.. Flood toddled over K
the Borough Hall to inspect the ma
chine and the only fault he found was
