BUSIEST YEAR FUR PHOENIX IN
 ALL HER HISTORY
Construction Work in Busi- ness and Residence Sec tions Is of Substantial Order and Makes Record

This is construction year in Phoenix, The most prosperous period the city ever has experienced. On every hand, progressiveness is in evidence and growth not to be denied is visible
 Construction work already under way represents an outlay of hundreds of thousands of dollars; construction work anticipated and planned for the coming months will undoubtedly raise the total valuation of new property to more than a million dollars. All is in- dicative of growth and a healthy finan- cial condition.
 Uncle Sam has pleaded for in- creased building activities following the signing of the armistice, that the thousands of returning soldiers might be furnished employment and the in dustries of the country maintained Phoenix is doing far more than its part in answering this plea
 Some Fine Improvements
 The new Overland Arizona home at Washington street and Fourth avenue IS only one of many improvements under way. The new structure now nearing completion at Fifth avenue and Washington street is another; the new brlck structure nearing completion az Fourth avenue and Adams street is stAl another, and the new Odd Fellows home at Third avenue and Adams street is a fourth.
 All construction work mentioned above is business property. But in the residential sections, improvements and increased activities are also to be noted Lt Is estimated that fully 150 new dwellings will be erected in Phoenix before the end of the year.
 Construction work planned for com ing months includes a new Elks home at second avenue and Adams street. a Masonic home on North Central ave nue, and various other business prop erues In which capitalists are planning the expenditure of several hundreds Of thousands of dollars.
 Much Highway Work
 Voting of the S4,0OO,000 good roads bond issue will also have it's effect on prosperity in this community. Many men will be employed here. while it is probable that much of the material and machinery will be purchased through Phoenix merchants, all of which has n tendency 10 better conditions in this city.
 Another evidence of the healtbful financial condition of the city is the paving now planned. Miles of paving VIII undoubtedly be laid in Phoenix 1hls year, all of which costs money.

Council Changes
Meeting Nights

The CliffSide Park Council will hold
its regular meetings on Tuesday after
July first instead of ON Monday night
as heretofore. The reason given by
Mayor John c. Cadiens for the change
in meeting nights is that the board
will in the future hold executive SEES
SionS or committee meetings on Mon
day evenings in the hope that they
will not be so late in their business
meetings, which will be held on the
following evenings.
This amendment was made and
passed at the last regular meeting OF
the mayor and council.
The council board feels that with
the committee meetings as planned
the regular meetings will draw many
| more of the taxpayers and the meet
! ings will be much shorter.

Man With One Eye
Driving Auto Runs
Into Borgestede Car

The new BOrgeStede Buick six bought
in honor of the return of Herman, the
soldier boy sons return from overseas
duty in the United States army, hap
pened to a bad accident last Sunday
morning early The family had start
ed out on trip to New Brunswick.
when turning into Anderson avenue to
go in Il southerly direction, another
Buick four came rushing along ut Il
fast clip driven by one-eyed man.
1t so happened that the mans blind
eye was on the right side, and this ac-
counts for his not being able to see
the BOrgeSted car. Fortunately, no
one was hurt in either car, which was
miracle, for the BorgeStede car was
Knocked clear over 10 tine Metcalf cor
ner by the impact, and badly smashed
up. the running board and mudguard
being smashed and the left fore wheel
being Wrenched out of plumb. The
trip to New Brunswick was postponed.
The driver of the other Buick said he
could not see from his right side. The
query comes up as to whether or not
one-eyed drivers are entitled to Il
license. Henry BorgeSted, who was
driving the car that was struck, says
the car going north was going so fast
he could not stop, though he blew his
own horn three times.

BorO Collector
Being Sued for
$4,000 Shortage

The trial of the suit of the Borough
of East Rutherford against Charles
B. Johnson, former collector of taxes
of that place, and the American Sure
ty Company, of New York, which was
begun Tuesday in the Circuit Court
before Judge Willard w. Cutler and
a jury, was continued today.
The plaintiff demands the sum of
$4,000, alleging that the collector
neglected and refused to account for
and pay over to the borough the sum
of $1,731.06, which came into his
hands as collector; that he failed and
neglected to collect certain taxes lev
led and assessed i'm the borough for
the years 1911 to 1916, and that he
failed and neglected to perfect lien
for taxes and assessments against
real estate in that borough by selling
the land so assessed or Il part there
of, sufficient for such Il purpose, by
reason of which the lien the borough
could otherwise have had on such
lands became lost and the taxes I'M
collectable.
The defense in part is that by rea-
son of being fOrcibly restrained from
his office and Invested of the power
and duties of his office, he has been
relieved and discharged from any Ii
ability to account to the borough.
Wendell J. Wright is appearing for
the borough; Addison Ely for John

Two Drug Addicts

Tuesday evening on Il charge of traf-
ticking in drugs and narcotics, and COM
mitted to the county Jail here by JUS
tice Frederick Bratt, We're removed
marshals and arraigned before United
States Commissioner James Feeney.
The couple are held under the Act
of 1915, which specifies that it is un-
lawful to give, sell or have in ones
possession drugs or other narcotics.
Mrs. Harling made two spectacular
escapes from the United States mar
shals this noon while being conveyed
from the county Jail to the Main street
station Ell route to Paterson. She
twice broke away from the officers in
front of the courthouse, the first time
being easily apprehended, but the sec
ond time she ran up Main street as
far as Pye's studio where she hid in
the alley.
Policeman Van Binsberger captured
her after the second escape and return
ed her to the county jail
Mrs. Harling and GYger were then
placed in county automobiles and sent
in charge of the marshals to Paterson.
She was very abusive to the officers
and repeatedly called them names,
and, in fact, refused to sit in the auto
mobile along side one of the marShals.
