maniac that was confined in the lock-
up over night one night last week.
Several police officers, citizens and the
Chief Of Police spent several anxious
moments to prevent the maniac from
smashing his brains out against the
walls Of, his cell and it, was finally
accomplished by tieing him flat on a
table. He was subsequently moved to
Hackensack. In his report Mr.. Naed-
Ter advised that straight jacket be
purchased to be handy should another
similar case occur. His report was
received after several had expressed
joculiar opinions on its value.
To Get Motor Cycle
The Chief Of Police. also reported
that motor cycle was needed. He
stated that he contemplated getting a
Harley Davidson, 1917 model Of six
teen horse power to. cost 1922. This
brought on q controversy on the
various types and makesof motor
cycles and after Councilman Cohn had
offered to bring out batch Of pic
ture booklets, Clerk Renter was
asked to write to various manufae-
turers for information.
Road Oil or Tarvia
Councilman Flood started another
general free-for-al talk-fest when he
wanted to advertise for bids for road
oil. Many suggestions were voiced
on the value of Tarvia vs.. ordinary
oil. Mayor Cadien questioned the
value VS.. the cost. The outspoken
and general opinions Of all married
men present were that Tarvia be
spread and by so doing pacify the
many housewives who always find
plenty Of the ordinary road oil track
ed all over the house. This matter
will be decided at the next meeting,
and it might be advisable for some Of
the woman's clubs Of this locality to
express their opinion on the subject.
Streets Taken Over
The second and third reading Of
the ordinances authorizing the bor-
ough to take over certain streets

Disptach, of Union HILL. This was
finally so ordered. The streets to be
taken over are Overlook terrace,

improvements Held Over
The many petitions that were re-
Gently filed for the improving of near
ly every street and alley in Grant
wood, were held over. Mayor Cadien
reported that he knew several petit
tions were now in circulation object
ing to the improvements, and it would
be saving much money for the town
by hearing the objections before adj
vertising. It was pointed out that
under the law property owners scat
tered all over the borough could sign
locality and that in justice to the
localities SO affected and to the bor-
ough it would not be wise to start any
thing until all hands had chance to
express themselves, The petitions
were ordered held over.
A petition for improving Walker
street had its first reading. This is
one of the important streets in the

the center of the stage in a statement
on the trolley system. It seems Mr..
