To Earn Income
The controversy ended when Mayor
Lyons explained that the cost of the
building will be borne by the rental
of the building and that within five
years the place will be source of
revenue for the borough And to cor
rect another wrong impression that
various tainted stories have made, it
was stated that the new building is
in no way to replace the Borough
Hall. The deed of the old Borough
Hall and property has been drawn up
in such manner that the officials
cannot vacate that property.
Two Appointments Made
Two important appointments were
made by Mayor Lyons, that of an at
torney and road commissioner. A..
G. Hart was re-appointed attorney
and William H. Tracy was appointed
to succeed himself as road commits
sioner There were only three coun-
cilmen present, namely Ebel, Fiske
and Reilly and all voted in favor of
the appointments. Councilmen Noon,
O'Connor and Dingler were the
absentees.
Abolish Recorders Report
1t was also decided to do away
with practice of reading the Re-
corder's report in open meeting. This
has been the custom for some months
past, but it was considered poor
one, in view of the fact that it ex
poses arrests of some persons who
have had "wash- line" squabble.
This, the members of the board who
were present at the meeting, desired
to do away with. The report will,
of course, be handed in as usual and
turned over to the police committee.
To Name Marshals
In connection with appointments
Mayor Lyons announced that he
would not make more than fifteen
marshals this year. 1t is expected
the appointments will be made at the
next meeting. And with view of
getting in some of the old badges
that are being held by former mar
shals, the clerk was authorized to
give the Chief of Police list Of
those who are holding the badges so
that they can be collected.
Give Policeman Uniform
Patrolman John Ridgway, who had
his police uniform ruined in fight
with a part Of the borough's Rusty
Knife Gang" couple of weeks ago,
will have the uniform replaced at the
expense of the borough. The young
cop was warmly commended for his
heoric work in arresting the men,
two of whom are now reposing ca
in the Hackensack Jail.
A letter from Vincent B. Kelly,
secretary of the Eastern Bergen I'M
provement Association, reminded the
officials that. they had not, as yet,
paid the borough annual dues of $25
into the organization. There was an
oversight on the part OF some one IN
this case, because this debt was
ordered paid the first of the year. A
check will be sent forthwith, for like
all other good things, it's better late
than never.
The mayor announced that ne
thought it would be good idea to
let the matter of repairing Bulls
ferry road lay over for little while
owing to the fact that he has been
told by some good authority that the
county will take this road under It's
care within very short time.
Clubs for Home Defense
Instead of buying the members of
the Home Defense League high pow
cred guns the officials carried out the
suggestions of the members that they
be supplied with police clubs and
whistles. They agree to protect the
village and it's holdings in fitting
style, if the occasion arises, with
these implements.
Raise A Salary
| A resolution, introduced by .Coun-
Gilman Fiske increasing the salary
of Thomas West, caretaker at the
disposal plant, passed. Mr.. Vests
salary was increased to 500 per month
from $75.
The clerk was instructed to notify
the Standard Construction Company
of Hackensack, that unless they
finish their work of repairing lower
Fairview avenue in fifteen days the
borough will do the work at the ex-
pense of that firm.
