The State Highway Commission has

one about the building of Route No.

bulletin says:

will be furnished at cost of $4,074,911.
Other contracts soon to be let and

Another important item is that this
year New Jersey will receive from
the United States government the sum
of SSS9,S33, as an aid in highway
building. Route No. 10 does not get
any of this sum-

for 1920 include 1.S miles of road from

Palisade that the road up the cliff
from Edgewater would not go further

however. If Palisade avenue is ever
completed from Palisade to Fort Lee,
it will have no bearing whatever on

Mass Meeting
In Palisade
Monday Night

The second mass meeting looking to
the building of a community center
house in Palisade will take place at
the Public School on Monday evening
next at s 80 O'Clock. 1t is hoped that
there will be a large attendance, as the
interest in the movement is increasing
day by day-almost hourly. in fact
Chairman d. A. Carson has named his
committee of ten authorized at the
first mass meeting, but enlarged it to
ten, and the members had their first
meeting on Monday evening last at the
home of Rev. Herman p. Guhse, when
ways and means for raising the money
were discussed till about midnight,
The committee feels greatly encOur-
aged, as several men Give, it is ru-
moredD have agreed to give $1,000 each
to the project, and one man is expected
to donate a large lot suitable for the
building.
On Thursday night the committee
went out by automobile to see the
community house at Oradell and came
back enthusiastic and more deter
mined than ever to work with a will
for success, which now seems assured.
At last, they feel, Palisade has walked
up.

Edward l. Edwards, Democratic gu

Manville begun what in all probability
will be the most strenuous work of
this campaign so far. He spoke to the
members of the Somerset county Dem

the JOhns-Manville Company in the
auditorium of the Hotel Asbestos, ID
Johns-Manville institution. The audi
forum, which seats 900 people, was

Senator Edwards first reviewed his
record as state comptroller, telling of
the chaotic condition in which he
found the office following the admins
tration of two Republican comptrol-
lers, and placing the affairs on a sound
business and financial basis He also
touched upon his principles of making
appointments should he become gov
ton of policy in regard to the develop
ment of New Jersey industries and of
caring for New Jersey lab0rs.

that it required a year of labor and
investigation before we could ascer-
tain the amount of money necessary
to meet the expenses of the admfnis-
tratiOn. That we were facing deficit
was apparent to me as soon as I enter
ed upon my duties, but how much of a
deficit there was required much labor
to ascertain. The old methods of the
office had to be scrapped and new ones
installed for institution and depart

thing tangible.

chill DREN'S DAY A GREAT SUCCESS
AT PAL|SADE CHURCH LAST SUNDAY
With PROGRAM OF UNUSUAL MERIT
Mrs. Ernest Sibley After Weeks of Untrng Labor and
Patient Drilling, Greatly Pleased Large Audience
With the Natural Expression of Innocent Child
hood Which Captivated Large Audience.
SCENE ONE TO BE REMEMBERED

Children'S Day was celebrated at the
Palisade Church last Sunday The
event was one of the most notable sue
cesses ever before witnessed in the
community. Mrs. Ernest Sibley, as
usual, had prepared q program that for
quality, character and human interest
was of such surprising excellence that
the minister at the close took occasion
to say he had seen many Children'S
Day entertainments, but never wit
messed anything like this one before.
1t was the best he had ever seen. The
audience seemed to agree with this
expressed thought, for it fairly bub-
bled over with the eXuberant spirit of
applause and appreciation. The hui
man heart leans with atfectiOnate in
terest and the tenderest emotion to
child life always, and Mrs. Sibley
brought her tiny tots on this occasion
into public gaze in all of their unaf-
fected naturalnesS, so that the pro-
gram had common place, everyday act
ing badly beaten, and the children won
their way into everybody'S heart sim
ply because their innocence found eX-
preston through the very discriminate
ing taste and fine judgment shown in
giving out the spoken parts. Mrs. Sib-
ley used sort of selective draft in
letting her charges know just. what to
do, and it is no secret to say that it
required several weeks of the most
patient, painstaking labor and care to
bring about the orderly finished prod
uct evidenced in the final performance.
The church had been tastefully deco
rated for the occasion with silver
beach branches on the rear walls that
under electric lighting looked like pic
ture trees, under which was draped the
big American flag, with scores of large
fragrant peonies in white and pink set

Sure Shot Cop
Puts Three Bullets
Into Fleeing Man

James Madden, thirty-two years old,
of AZ High street, Jersey City, is a
prisoner at the Hackensack Hospital
with three bullets in his body.
He was arrested about 9 80 o'clock
last Monday evening on Valley Brook
avenue, in Lyndhurst. by Policeman
Henry Peters while acting in suspi-
cious manner. 1t is said that Madden
was seen to come out from the rear of
Il residence on that street.
Policeman Peters was taking his
prisoner to the local police headquar-
tiers when the man turned on him and
struck him over the mouth with some
blunt instrument, knocking out three
of his teeth
Peters, although stunned by the
blow, drew his revolver and as Mad
den attempted to effect his escape
fired four shots at him, three of which
reached their mark.
Madden dropped to the sidewalk,
and Peters, SummOning aid, hurried
the man to the Hackensack Hospital
DR.. j. Fineberg, who Is in charge of
the man at the hospital, said that one
of the bullets had pierced the right
arm, breaking the bone and lodging in
the chest. Another lodged in the right
hip, while the third went through the
thigh of the right leg. His condition,
however is not thought to be serious.
Policeman Peters is said TO have
swallowed the three teeth which were
knocked out by the blow.
Lyndhurst has been the scene of a
number of rObberieS of late, and the
police are taking unusual precautions
to round up all suspicious characters.

about in large vases to complete the
picture. And that stage picture with
the setting of children and flowers was
not only rare and beautiful, but really
remarkable in it's appeal. AS a tableau
when all the children were grouped in
graded rows nothing could have gone
deeper into human appreciation for
what the scene represented.
The opening of the evening began
with the children marching in from
the basement in single file to the music
of coward, Christian Soldiers"
which they sang with the audience,
Mr.. Moody at the organ. Pretty little
Evelyn Lintbach carried a basket of
flowers at the head of the line, and
each child held a flag. This was one
of the prettest features of the evening
was to follow.
OF the program itself not enough
could be said. 1t was quite out of the
ordinary and more 1t was putting ap-
propriateness and feeling into an Occa-
sion that is now of nation wide inter-
est and giving childhood an opportu-
nifty to find itself and to give express
sion to the real meaning of Children's
Day There was an irresistible charm
to the children under Mrs. Sibley's
guidance that found a ready response
from the assembly, one of the largest
ever gathered in the little church
Palisades own. In fact, more thor
oughly pleased audience could not well
be imagined. Every parent present
felt the thrill and the joy of it, and the
children themselves were at the hap
piest moment of their lives, and every
one of them looked it.

Young Boy Killed
In Auto Collision
In Leonia Monday

A collision between an auto and a
passenger train of the Northern rail
road on the Fort Lee turnpike crossing
at Leonia last Monday evening result
ed in the death of one man and the
slight injury of four others.
The dead man is Harry Licker, age
about eighteen years, of 10 Holman
street, Paterson.
The injured were Samuel Licker, a
brother of the dead man; Joseph Phil
lip and Harry Sugar of 20 Arch street,
Paterson, and Charles Rosenblatt of
ITO Twelfth avenue, the same city.
The injured men were treated by
DR.. Schneidenbach and were then al
lowed to proceed to their homes. Har-
ry Licker was taken to the EnglewoOd
Hospital by DR.. Zingold, where he died
at 20 o'clock in the morning.
The automobile, it is said by the po-
lice, was proceeding west, driven by
Harry Licker. AS it reached the cross
ing the driver slowed up the machine
and then attempted to cross the tracks
in front of the approaching train. The
train was too near, however, to allow
the automobile to clear the crossing,
and the driver, swinging his car to the
left, bumped over the ties for some
distance in advance of the engine be-
fore the auto was finally struck. The
auto was smashed to pieces and the
occupants scattered over the roadway.
That all were not killed outright is
probably due to the fact that the train
was slowing down for the LeOnia sta
tion stop, short distance south of the
Fort Lee road crossing.-Record.

One of the important contributions
to the attraction and success of the
affair was the Cliffside Park Liberty
Band, which kindly donated its serv-
ices, the men giving up their holiday to
thus serve the community, and, al
though it has only been organized a
short time, with Joseph Moran in
charge, it is in good shape to be of
service in the borough in any affair.
