GENERAL CONDITIONS VERY GOOD

AT a regular meeting of the mayor
and council of Cliffside Park. held
Monday night, Attorney Agnew report
ed that the Cliffside Park Realty Com
pany had brought suit in the supreme
court attacking the validity of the zon-
Ing ordinance recently passed by the
council. A hearing is to be held be-
fore Judge Demarest in Hackensack
on Friday of this week to take testi-
mOny in the case.
Attorney Agnew further stated that
this was the first time to his knowledge
that action of this kind had been in
the supreme court in New Jersey, al
though there are many cities in which
coming ordinances are in effect e. e.
Lehsten suggested that the cO-Opera-
ton of the other municipalities be Sc
cured to protect the ordinance by en-
listing the help of the New Jersey
State League of Municipalities.
The attorney was authorized to pro-
tect the interests of the borough in the
suit and that he should enlist the serv-
ices of Mr.. Swami, the man who put
the ordinance into effect, in defending
it to the limit
The long pending Fort Lee and Cliff
side Park sewer agreement at last
seems to be settled. Councilman Sam
mis- moved that the council approve
the contract as passed by the Fort Lee
council. A poll of the council on the
motion resulted in u tie, so 1t was nee
essaryT for Mayor Cadien to cast the
deciding vote, which was in favor Of
the motion.
This action will be welcome news to
the residents of West Grantwood,
where the sewer conditions have been
very bad, especially after heavy rain
storms, when there would often be wa
ter in the cellars several feet deep.
The new sewer System, In which the
fborOughs OF Fort Lee and Cliffside will
cooperate, will eliminate these condi-
lions entirely.
1t was also brought out at this meet
ing that four lengths of fire hose had
blown out at the Linseed Oil Company
fire several months ago and that moth
ing had been done about it. The clerk
was instructed to write to the Fabric
Fire Hose Company, asking them to
make good on the hose, as it had been
purchased with three year guaran-
tee.
Four bids were opened for nine
foot length of suction hose which had
been recommended by the fire under
writer's. The Fabric Fire Hose Com
pany's bid of $S2 was the lowest, and
it was decided to purchase the hose
from them, provided they made good
on the hose which had blown out.
Mr.. Sammis reported for the COM
mittee in charge Of the memorial to be
erected in honor of the bOrough's SOL
diers and sailors in the late war that
the owners of the triangle at the juno
ton of Palisade avenue and Gorge
road would sell the property. If the
purchase price was raised through pri-
vate subscriptions the owners offered
to give $1,000 to the fund.
A communication was received from
the County Board of Elections stating
that it would be necessary to have one
booth for each $50 voters at the COM
ing election. AS there are 900 voters
in the First district, two additional
booths will have to be installed in the
borough hall.
A motion made to raise the cost of a
jitney license from $50 to $3.50 was lost
by a vote of to 2. Permits were
granted which call for the erecting of
improvements costing total OF S64,-
500.
