GRANTWOOD NOTES


Because of several lengthy discus
sions kept the mayor and council of
this town busy until the early hours
of Tuesday morning. The discussions
referred to the settlement of the
Cecilia avenue sewer and what was
TO be done about the proposition to
improve Lawton avenue from PaliSade
avenue to Hudson Terrace with side
walks, cutters, curb and sewer for the
Grantwood Development company of
which George Drew of Washington
avenue is the resident agent
The De Soto sewer proposition was
laid over, while the development com
pany's application to have the borough
improve the street, on which there are
no residents was rejected.
This company recently petitiOned
the mayor and council to make the
Improvement but Mayor Cadien and
the members of the council board feel
that if the development company did
not make the improvement of their
property that they proposed, the
borough would be in a position, re-
ceiving no financial return on the in
vestment of the laying of the side
walks, curbs, cutters and sewers.
MIR. Drew representing the company
stated that even if the company did
not make improvements by the build
ing of houses it would still be their
right in requesting the borough Off
Gals to have the improvement made.
The mayor and members of the council
did not hesitate to answer Mr.. Drew,
stating that the cost of the improve
ment would be made up by the
borough at large. The concern which
Mr.. Drew represents would benefit di
rectly by the improvement and even
if their company did not build, they
could sell their lots at greatly in
creased price over their present value.
Finally the members of the board
voted upon the matter, and all voted
against the proposition. 1t is under
stood that the company was to build
twenty-five houses on the tract but
it is unknown what they will do now.

on the Cecilia and Adolphus avenues
sewer improvements, was made.
Four bids were received from local
contractors for the improvement OF
Anderson avenue with a sidewalk. The
Bergen Contracting Company, being
the lowest bidder, obtained the CON
tract. The bids were as follows:
Cappolletta Brothers, $3,S22. 80;
Sam Linardi & Co, $4,250.30; Frank
Battagio & Sons, $4.03S.40 Bergen
Contracting Company, $3,147.90.
Permission was granted to the Cliff
side Oxford football team to use the
Fairgrounds for all of their football
games during the coming season.
The sum of 1915 was given to the
Board of Health which is the balance
that is due on their annual appropria-
ton.
The Public Service Railway Com
pany reported that the request of the
borough to repair the street at Column
bia avenue and the trolley track had
been received but the company had
discovered that the water which
formed il pool there, of which the
borough had complained was caused
by the grade in the borough streets in
that section and was in no way caused
by the trolley tracks.
A communication was received from
w. A. Miller of Franklin avenue,
GrantwoOd, stating that water rushed
into his cellar from the sewer. This
communication was referred to the
council board by Mr. Dyer A report
from the engineers McClave & Nc
Clave showed that there was water in
Mr.. Miller's cellar and that he had
opened a valve to get rid of the water,
which accounted for the flooding of
the cellar.
Engineer McClave reported that it
had been found out that the Lincoln
avenue sewer which was put in several
years ago by a private concern was
not laid deep enough as it was only
two and a half feet down and that it
was necessary that it should be at
least eight feet to get rid of the con-
dition complained of by residents in
that section. An ordinance was given
its first reading to make the necessary
Improvement of the laying of go feet.

AGood
Stitch
By Miss a. 3. Swami

For perfect stitching,
both needle and thread
must be suited in size
to the material which
you are to sew.
Different materials
require different length
stitches. Follow in
structions in book for
stitch regulation.
If you can not regu-
late your machine for a
perfect stitch, it is
probable there is a knot
of thread caught either
in the upper or lower
tension.
The spring on the top
of the shuttle regulates
the lower tension.
If you can not get a
firm tension, loosen the
screw enough to enable
you to lift spring and
see if there is a knot of
thread under it.

ing an example as could be found
of the promptness of Red Cross when
it sets out to the rescue.
The disaster in itself was unparal-
led in suddenness and completeness.
High explosives in the lump total of
2. 500 tons-the famous TINT blew
UP in the narrow channel of Halifax
Harbor. More than thousand per-
sons were killed instantly. About
5000 were injured, 691 suffering in
jury to their eyes. The destitute
numbered 10000. The North End
of Halifax was smashed.
And it came with the swiftness of
a blow, without warning. The sur
vivors were, in a way, paralyzed by
the terrific unexpectedness of the
disaster But the trained personnel
of the Red Cross was not paralyzed.
Within twenty-four hours special
train was on the way from New York,
loaded with blankets-the weather
was freezing cold-clothing, surgi-
cal dressings and medicines. At the
same time another special train set
out from Boston, with the entire
equipment of a base. hospital unit,
with its full complement Of nurses
and doctors. A few hours later a
third special train was chartered in
Providence by the Red Cross Chap
ter and started for Halifax, carrying
sixty doctors, sixty nurses, and large
quantities of hospital and medical
supplies.
In all, Red Cross personnel num-
boring more than 200 were on their
way to the scene of the catastrophe
"a hours after the roaring blast of
the explosion had Shaken that I'M
fortunate city almost into fragments.
One day later, the Red Cross sent
rs, 90 more blankets from Boston by
boat and the next day sent from
Maine five carloads of window glass,
a most practical idea, as the shock of
the explosion had shattered most of
the windows in Halifax, and the in
habitants of comparatively sound
dwellings were almost freezing in
consequence.
The Red Cross has followed fast on
the heels of disaster all around the
world 1t picks up and puts together
the broken pieces-especially of suf-
fering humanity and broken homes.
Disaster has come to be recognized
as the specific signal for the Red
Cross.

Colonel Lynes
Birthday Party
One of the happiest affairs of the
month was the party of Colonel j..
Cotton Lynes, celebrating his seven
ty-ffth birthday, on Monday after
noon.
The Colonel is much beloved by
his old comrades-in-arms, as we'll as
by the younger generations, and all
who could possibly do so gave cor
dial deception to his invitation. The
house in its grove of handsome oaks,
was bright with quantities of garden
flowers sent by friends.
The surprise Ito the coloneD of
the occasion, was the perentation of
several handsome gifts. Notable
among these was a silver mounted
rosewood cane. This was the gift of
Captain Simpson, Lieut.. Girardeau,
and Private Hugh B. Cobb, of At
lanta, and was presented with an APP
propriate and touching speech by
Private Cobb. Colonel Lynes almost
broke down when he responded in a
good speech of his own.
The guests greatly enjoyed the re-
freshments served by Mrs. Lynes, as
sisted by Mrs. George Welsh. Mrs.
Carlos Lynes, of Atlanta, and little
Miss Frances Welsh and Mary Lynes.
Those present were Mr.. w. A.

PARIS, June 13.-The peace treaty
with Germany will be entirely re-
written and reprinted for the incor-
poration textually OF the explanation
and clarification contained in the al
lied reply to the German counter
proposals. While unchanged in prin-
ciple virtually new document will
be presented to the Germans.
It Is understood that the new treaty
will be made public on the day of its
delivery or the day after.
The Council of Four today devoted
most of its attention to the revision
of the text of the treaty. 1t sent
eighteen reports to the revision COM
mission. several dealing with impor-
tant subjects remaining to be passed.
These subjects include the Sarre
valley. Alsac Lorraine and the League
of Nations. The revision commission
is headed by Andre Tardieu, of the
French mission.
The Council of Four, it developed,
decided that simply to attach the re-
ply to the original document was i'm
practicable as important clauses
would be left obscure and imperfect.
