on November 2" says George Van
Buskirk ''The expressions of con-

1t is impossible for me to answer each
well-wisher by letter, so trust my
friends will look upon this as a per-
sonal appreciation of their support
in my behalf.
II also wish to thank the press of
the county for the kind things said
of me in their news and editorial col
umnS. I shall turn over the Office
to Mr.. Eager with the kindEest feel
ings and with the hope that the pat
rons of the office and the public at
large will appreciate his services in
the same fair and hopeful spirit that
was accorded to me throughout my
administration"

Councilman McEvoy thought that it
filed the maps to straighten out the
tangle. Mayor Cadien suggested that
Attorney Agnew write to the Indus
trial Company telling them of the vio-
latiOn of the law and asking them TO
make good. The council finally decided
to put the matter in the hands of the
attorney for further investigation.
Councilman Post suggested that in
view Of the many technicalities in the
zoning ordinance, that special COM
mission be appointed to determine
whether or not proposed building vio-
lated the ordinance. The mayor in
formed the council that he had such a
commission in mind and that one
would be appointed at the beginning of
the year to serve throughout the year.
DR.. Hellstern objected so strenuously
to the granting of a permit for the
building of news stand at the corner
of Palisade avenue and Hudson terrace
that the permit was denied until the
council had inspected the place. and
determined whether or not it was being
built in accordance with the coming
ordinance.
The proposed Prospect street i'm
prOvement has been discontinued and
the ordinance withdrawn Several i'm
portant amendments to the building
code are now under consideration and
will be ready for the next meeting.

Henry McAvoy Laid
To Rest in Madonna

The funeral of the late Henry Nc
Avoy OF Fort Lee, who was killed last
week by an explosion, took place from
his residence last Sunday afternoon
at 2 80 O'Clock, the service being at
the Church of the Madonna, Father
Corcoran delivering an eloquent and
feeling eulogy. The interment was at
the Madonna Cemetery. There was
large attendance and many handsome
floral offerings.
There have been no further develop
ments as to the actual cause of the
tragedy, except that it is now almost
certainty that the young man in his
work with the Fox Fin Company had
been acting as an expert in explosives,
giving his personal attention to the
actual WORK of exploding buildings,
bridges ~ ~ Qther things connected
z .4xs sssa k-r nEoving s,ict,ire pro-
ductionk. One of his friends, his most
intimate friend, in fact, said this week
that he believed Mr.. McAvoy had the
explosive in the shape of sticks of dy-
Mantle. He knew of some that he had
had in small trunk, and perhaps this
trunk was in the garage at the time.
McAvOy had fine new summer home
he had recently bought at Lake Hopat-
cong, nine rooms, finely located. This
friend, who was with him at Hopat-
cong, says he knew he had dynamite
at the summer home at the lake. But
the actual cause of the explosion itself
will probably never be known. The
dead man evidently was thrown
against the radiator and mud guard of
the Ford car that was in the garage,
as there was long wound on the side
of the forehead several inches that
looked like it could have been caused
that way. His right leg was broken
in five places and his right side badly
torn. 1t is said he was conscious for
the few minutes he lived before he
died.

well built and weighs about 40
pounds. He is dark complexioned,

HERE'S A PRETTY K0WDY DO, SURE!
TWO MAPS BALL UP TITLE TAKING
INVEST CRANTWOOD HOME SECTION

The regular meeting of the mayor
and council of Cliffsde Park was held
on Monday evening with all but one
member present.
A great part of the evening was
taken up in discussing the mix-up that
has occurred in the West Grantwood
property lines through the filing of two
maps for the same section, both maps
having different lines. AS property
has been sold according to both maps,
some lots overlap one another and in
the general confusion no one knows
just where they stand.
This matter was brought up by the
request of property owner on Jassa-
mine Way and Aurora avenue asking
whether or not there are assessments
due on his property. AS the assess
ment map and the map according to
which he bought the property do not
agree, he cannot show that all assess
ments have been paid and he cannot
get clear title until he can do so. The
borough engineers reported that they
could do nothing in the matter.
1t appears that this tangle started
when the Hudson River Realty Com
pany filed map of that section and
then later the Industrial Company
filed another map Of the same section,
but the lines of the two maps were diff
ferent. To have the whole matter
Strengthened out as it should be would
require great deal of time and money.

Sheriff Deputies
Have No Standing

Sheriff Joseph Kinzley, Jr., has sent
out circular letter to the many spe-
cial deputies appointed by him, con-
tanning the decision of Supreme Court
Justice Bergen, part of which reads
thus:
"The special deputy is not a pub
lie officer He is merely acting as the
sheriff's agent to carry out particular
instructions in a given case. So far
as I can see, there is no authority
under the law existing in New Jersey
for the sheriff to appoint what he
calls special deputies
The sheriff's letter continues:
81 shall, nevertheless, consider you
a special deputy as part of my plan
20 know whom I can secure as the
best of the power of the county should
find it necessary to call the 'possee
comitatus;' or to perform special
act or a particular thing as directed
by the sheriff
"You. have no standing as an officer
of the law or immunity as such, but
1 want you to feel that you are part
of moral force ready at all times to
assist the sheriff in the maintenance
of law and order and the preserva-
ton of peace in the County of Ber-
gen."

Foot Ball Riot At
Nutley Was Serious

West Orange, Nov 1O.-Prosecu-

ty was asked today by the West
Orange Board of Education to insti-
tute an inquiry into the "mob vio-
lence by the people of Nutley" which
abruptly ended football game Sat
urday between the teams of West Or
ange and Nutley High Schools. At
the same time the Nutley Board of
Education was requested by the
West Orange school heads to investi-
gate charges of "foul language. foul
tactics and brutal play on the part of
the Nutley High School players and
improper conduct by the coach of
Nutley team"
The action of the West Orange
school officials was taken after they
had received a report of the alleged
free for all fight in Nutley. Twenty
of the high school boys and nine par
ents who were spectators at the game
made the complaints to the school
board. Charles Shoemaker, West Or
ange left end, alleged to have slug
ged a Nutley player, was also heard
by the board. More than $500 Nut
ley rooters stormed the high school
at NUtley after the game had been
stopped in the last quarter with the
score ID to Z in favor of Nutley, be-
cause Shoemaker, it is alleged, struck

To Stimulate Art
In Palisade School

With view to stimulating a much
needed interest in art matters for the
Palisade Public School, and with the
hope of ultimately securing some valu-
able pictures to ad0rn the walls... Mrs.
George q. Clark said THIS p,tsa.
Throughout the country people
are awakening to the Importance and
value of good art as creative of re-
filming influence and inspiring atmos-
phere. And just SO surely as peole
become familiar with the best in art,
just so quickly will the crude in art
be displaced through appreciation of
something better. What constitutes an
artist? He is in the first place one
who himself knows how to see, and in
the second place one who has a gift
for making us see with him.
"One great object of picture study
is that of opening the eyes to the
beauty all around which an artists
trained eye perceives, while it is miss
ed by others. This is the essential
service of all great men-tO draw us
in some measure to their own level
of insight, enjoyment and inspiration.
"Have you ever been appalled, at the
expanse of bare, uninteresting wall
space confronting our children during
the major part of each day in our
school rooms? Could you help being
interested in plan to put upon those
walls some expression Of beauty as
seen by the worlds great artists?
would like to see everybody give this
matter some thought"

fight and did not stop fighting until

line was like a wall, and the Collegiates
had to resort to forward passes to
make their gains. In this work Goe-

In spite of the unfavorable weather
several hundred people gathered at the
athletic field to witness the game

clean playing of both teams.
