The dangerous curve on the Frank
lin turnpike at HOhokus, where num-
Der of deaths have occurred as result
of speeding and reckless auto driving,
was the subject of some discussion of
the Board of Freeholders in the court
house yesterday afternoon.
The discussion was brought about
by d communication from the Dor
ough officials of Hohokus, who request
ed that the board repave that section
of Franklin turnpike between Warren
place and Maple avenue with a granite
block pavement, which it was held
would necessarily reduce the speed of
automobiles.
Freeholders Allen suggested the en-
gineer investigate the matter and see
if there was any possible way of
eliminating the danger at that point.
Director Kinzley stated the matter had
been gone over very carefully by the
board, which had visited the place in
company with the engineer and that in
his opinion the only way to stop the
speeding at that point was to con-
struct ''thank-you-mams.'
On question Engineer McClave
stated that the cost of tearing up the
present pavement and installing a
granite block would be about $4,000.
He said that three precautionary signs
had been erected at that point, one of
which was an electric sign, the other

Gov. Runyon Tries Man Proving in
To Curb New York County Court House
On Income Tax at Night Runs Away

While making his rounds at the
court house about II o'clock last night,
John Banecki, the relief Waterman,
saw a man fumbling among the papers
on the desk in the office of Probation
Office Frederick Bratt, which Office is
located in the basement of the build
ing.
AS Banecki opened the door of the
office with his master key, the man
disappeared through door in the back
of the office leading to the elevator
shaft, which he locked behind him.
The Waterman then telepOned for
assistance and while awaiting the ar
rival of help, the man forced a window
and escaped
While nothing was missing, it is
thought likely the man had an idea
that there was some money in the desk
of the probation officer.-Record.

GREAT MOVEMENT BEGUN ON new
TAX PLAN, AIDED BY PROMINENT
BERGEN men, Will ENTHUSE STATE
Meeting Jersey City Last Week Brings to Public Atten
ton Idea of Making All Machinery and Buildings
Non-Taxable, Placing Burden of Revenue
Land-A Virtual Modified Single Tax.
GEORGEL. RECORD APPROVES PLAN

Jersey City, June IS. = Bergen
countys tax commissioners. Frank
NJ. Buckles of Rutherford, William w.
Conklin of Englewood and Willard
Burdette of Hackensack, attended the
very interesting public hearing held
last Friday afternoon in the city hall,
Jersey City, by the special commission
appointed to frame a real tax reform
bill and to submit it to the new legiS-
lature, which meets next January.
The commission consists of Frank p.
Joss of Camden, George t. Smith of
Jersey City. ex-Sheriff Frank H. SOM
mer of Essex, Speaker Pierson and
Senator Clarence B. Case of Somerset.
The Bergen county tax commission
ers followed the hearing very closely,
and they may submit suggestions to
the commission later on.
A notable feature of the hearing was
the fact that eX-Director of Finance
James F. Cannon, Jr, of Jersey City
and George L. Record and a number of
very influential members of the Jersey
City Chamber of Commerce were in
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1919-06-21

thorough accord on one important
point. They all agreed that the time
had arrived when the tax must be TAX
en- off machinery, merchandise, stocks
in trade and other personal properties
and when industry and thrift must be
encouraged instead of penaliZed. Di-
rector Cannon and Mr.. Record also de-
clared that the tax should be taken off
buildings and improvements and shift
ed on the land. Mr.. Record made the
first speech of the day at this public
hearing, which was attended by many
business men and citizens from va
rious parts of the state.
The next hearing by the state COM
mission will be held in Newark next
Monday. A large number of business
men and manufacturers who have
heretofore opposed Mr. Records tax
ideas stated at the hearing that the
time had arrived to put some of his
ideas into actual operation.
1t is expected that the commission
will visit Hackensack and other parts
of Bergen county before it frames its
tax reform bill next winter

The second of the mass meetings
called for the purpose of considering
plans for securing a community house
for Palisade was held last Monday
evening at the Public School 1t was
not as large as the first one, and those
present were for the most part men,

lacked in size was made up in enthu-
siasm. There was a great deal more
progress made, and the general feeling
now exists that the work can be ac-
scOmplished if all work in harmony to
that end. There were number of in
teresting talks. Chairman Carson
opened the evening rather late, but
gave an Illuminating talk about the
work of the committee he had ap-
pointed and named them, as follows:

dams in all having gone over to take
"a peep into that very successful club

Gets Tree Thief,
Caught Twice,
Fined 20 Dollars

Last Saturday evening late, when
Anderson avenue a-wheel he saw an
old Italian near the roadway, about
two blocks north of the Grill house,
on the east side of the road. With
him were two boys, one about seven
teen, the other about ten. The older
man held a large Ratchet and with it
he had just felled a splendid specimen
of the chestnut oak, one of the lowell
est trees that grow in these woods
The reporter turned in the road and,
stopping, asked the man if he owned
that property. He pretended not to
understand, and neither of the boys
ventured word. The old man was
told to get away from that neighbOr-
hood as fast as he could, and the trio
was just about to leave when Officer
HerndOn, who wheels himself through
Palisade daily, came along just fresh
from supper at home. He saw what
was up and promptly took old Mr..
Italian to police headquarters, where
the recorder booked him for hearing
Tuesday night. 1t developed that this
was his second offense, so at the hear
ing he got fine and reprimand, with
the information that it would go much
harder next time. The mans name is
Ignatz Mankorosky, a Pole, and he
got $40 fine. Officer Thomas Ker-
nan made the arrest.
This is merely one of many hun
dreds of similar rescally acts of this
kid that go unpublished because the
authorities of the borough do not
make the slightest effort to apprehend
the raScals who have made firewOOd
for years out of these woods without
the slightest right to do so. The scan
dial of it all is too bad to even mention
without saying Damn out loud sew

Thieves Take Tires
Worth $500, Flee

The Edward Crutchley Auto Service
Station, on Essex street, near the Sad
die River bridge in Rochelle Park, was
robbed of $500 in auto tires at 4 &c
O'Clock last Tuesday morning. Mr..
Crutchley was awakened at that hour
by the barking of his dog in the ga
rage and, looking out of his window,
saw a covered Ford business wagon
standing in front of the place. BY
reason of his crippled condition, his
arm having recently been broken in
cranking a car, he was unable to fol
low the men in his machine, but i'm
mediately gave the alarm. The
thieves and their auto disappeared in
the morning mist in the general direc-
ton of PatersOn.-Record.

Oradel club was managed and Sug-
gested that it was the Palisade plan to
have something as nearly approaching

be done, but would be done, for he had
town got it's direction.
Charles T. Logan then took the floor,
saying that as the meeting was an
open one he wanted to say something
as to his own views of plan. He
wanted it understood that he yielded
to none in his loyalty to Palisade and
it's general interests. Furthermore, he
loved children and had lived every
minute of his life since he first moved
here as their devoted friend and had
put a great deal of his faith into prac-
tee in their behalf He believed the
community knew where he stood on
this thought. Mr.. Logan said he

compact for the joint construction and
maintenance of a vehicular tunnel I'M

such an agreement. Federal legisla-

a provision of the United States Con-

any compact or agreement with an
other state. Under the bill, Congress
consents to the compact.

Trenton, N. j., June 17.-Following

'Hon. Alfred Smith, Governor of the
State of New York, State Capitol,
Albany, n. Y:
"On behalf of many thousands of
New Jersey residents who are engaged
in business in New York desire to en-
ter respectful and emphatic protest
against the discriminatory provision of
the personal income tax as between
residents and nonresidentS of New
York, enacted at the recent session of
your legislature, and to ask you in the
interests of justice and amity to lay
the matter before the legislators of
New 1OIh III SpcCidl SCSoIoii uSoCih
bled to the end that these provisions
may be eliminated from the law.
"Recent legislation enacted in both
states establishing the yehicular tun-
mel project and the joint port and
harbor development has laid a basis
for closer and more cordial relations
between our peoples than ever existed,
and it is singularly unfortunate that at
this time piece of legislation so dras-
tic and so unfriendly in character
should have become a law.
"Our people feel very strongly in
this matter, and many are urging de-
cisive retaliatOry action on our part.
81 therefore feel justified in appeal
ing to your sense of equity and fair
play and in soliciting the exercise of
your good offices in righting that which
we conceive to be a most unfair dis
elimination against the citizens of a
friendly sister state.

Nugent Hangs On,
Says He Is Out to
Run for Governor

James r. Nugent, Democratic leader
of Essex County, who has been asked
to become candidate for the Dem
Ocratic nomination for Governor in the
primaries next September, denied to
reporters in New York Tuesday that
he had decided not to run and that
he would support State Senator Ed
ward Edwards, president of the First
National Bank of Jersey, who is al
ready i'll the race and with whom Mr..
Nugent recently had political break.
A story to this effect was sent out
to all newspapers of New Jersey Tues
day by Joseph H. Gum, who is hand
ling the publicity work for the Ed
wards campaign. 1t was based on an
interview he had with Edward j.
Handley, clerk of the New Jersey
Assembly, who was associated with
Mr.. Nugent as press agent in several
previous political campaigns.
THE story is absolutely untrue"

| know nothing about this | do
know, though, that l am still consid-
ering the offer of the Joel Parker
Association to enter the party pr-
marieS as a candidate for the nominal
ton for Governor"
Senator Edwards also denied any
knowledge of the matter He said
he had been talking with Mr.. Hand
ley in the Jersey City bank Monday
afternoon, but said that Mr. Nugent
was not mentioned.
Our talk was entirely on business
NATTER" he said.
The story as told by Mr.. Gum was
that Handley had called at the bank
and announced that he was not act
ing as intermediary for any one. He
is also said to have criticised the
way the publicity end of the Edwards
campaign was being handled and to
have said that George f.. Blakeslee,
State Road Commissioner, who is Sen
ator Edwards campaign manager, was
an amateur in politics"
