Dear Aunt Madge;
l have been long interested in your
column, but have not dared to offer
myself to enlist as an NJ. B. But now
my friends are wishing you to print
Honesty is the Best Policy" having
heard from their mothers the story of
"Honestus Woodman.' So, dear Aunt
Madge, if any of your NJ. BIS have a
Young Reader" of 1885, will you
please ask that kind sister to furnish
Honesty is the Best Policy" for the
Mutual Benefit column, and a large
number of the readers of The Ameri-
can will be delighted to read It. We
preserve our old school books with
care, but alas! we have no Young
Reader" of 1895. They were so much
read in the olden times that they were
worn out seventy years ago.
Yours with love,

CLlFFSIDE BOARD OF TRADE
REVIEWS ACTIVITY

The Board of Trade of Cliffside
Park at it's meeting held in the
Borough Hall, Saturday, February Z,
elected new officers and initiated
plans for work of extensive activity
for the coming year.
The need for an active board of trade
in Cliffside Park, for long while has
been keenly apparent. With no body
of business men working without
political bias for it's advantage and
development, the borough has not pro-
crossed and expanded as fast as it
ought.
It is a significant fact that every
progressive community has its active
board of trade or other body of con-
structive workers, which is always on
the alert for the community advantage
The boards new officers, through
it's president, Herbert Everett, has
sent out an urgent appeal for the
presence of every member of the board
at it's next meeting in the Borough
Hall, on Thursday evening, February
10, at o'clock.

Chemical Engine
Freezes; Throws
Gas Over Fireman

The house committee of the Palisade
fire company, Protection No. 4, were
out last Sunday clearing off the snow
in front of the hose reel houses and
also making a way through the snow
to the hydrants They did good job.
At the Bluff road fire house the
chemical engine was found to be fro
zen stiff. SO James Stewart concluded
he would empty the thing and wait for
milder weather before recharging it..
He thereupon opened the spigot thing,
and away came the blooming stuff out
all over him, and he was sight. For
tunately he was not harmed, though
his leather coat was a soda scrambled
spectacle when it was all over. The
boys all had the laugh on him. The
heavy lead acid chamber was blown
out of the cylinder about ten feet so
great was the gas pressure. The wa
ter was frozen hard.

CONDITION OF
COUNTY ROADS
Supervisor Thier Offers Infor-
nation Concerning Travel
Possibilities.

County Road Supervisor J. Ernest
Thier this morning gave out the fol-
lowing information concerning the
possibilities for travel ON the county
roads, on which roads his department
has been so energetically working to
open up for the past week:
The road from Hackensack to En-
glewood, the Tenafiy road from Engle-
wood to Tenafly, and the road from
Tenafiy to Cresskill are opened up for
traffic
From Cresskill to Closter the road
is in fair condition, but not suitable
for heavy traffic
The road from Tenafiy to Engle-
wood, Leonia, Ridgefield and Fair
view is being opened up now and will
be ready in few days
The Bergen Turnpike is open from
Hackensack to Ridgefeld
Market and Essex streets are open
from Hackensack to East Paterson but
there is still some work to be done
on the Paterson end near the Passaic
river
The Franklin Turnpike is open
from Hackensack to Arcola.
Mr.. Thier advises no travelling on
other county roads as machines may
become snow bound if attempted, the
drifts in some places being six feet
and over in depth.
He also suggests that those using
the roads carry additional help and
shovels in case they become stalled.
The department has been unable to
open up much more than a path be-
cause of lack of equipment, men and
time, and therefore no turnouts have
been made.
The snow has now become crusted
and heavy and fthes plows are of little
avail. Road machines and disc har-
rows are being used to break il IN.
Forty teams are in operation besides
a large gang of men. The drifts, of
course, have to be shovelled through
by hand. y
County Engineer Roscoe McClave
reports his department has opened up
the road from the Hudson county line
north to Palisade avenue, Englewood,
passing through Anderson avenue TO
Main street, to LemOine avenue. TO
Sylvan avenue, to Palisade avenue.
Some work has been done on the
Fort Lee Turnpike on the Fort Lee
end, but the work is not completed.

HACkENSACk WATER COMPANY
PLANS 100000 IMPROVEMENT
Thirty Inch Water Main to Be Laid
- From New Milford to Towns
Along the Palisades.

Extensive improvements in its serv-
ice, entailing the expenditure of nearly
million dollars, are to be made in the
near future by the Hackensack Water
Company. These improvements will
include the laying of 30 inch water
main from New Milford via Hillside
avenue, to Cresskill to Alpine, Tena-
fly and down to Englewood Cliffs.
From this point the line will extend to
Fort Lee by way of Sylvan avenue and
will connect either by Anderson avenue
or Palisade avenue with the big reser-
voir in Fairview.
By this Improvement the Hacken-
sack Water Company will greatly in
crease the effectiveness of its service
along the east side of Bergen county,
giving to Fort Lee and other commune
ties in that section a pressure equal TO
that maintained in any of the commu-
mites lying at lower elevation.
1t is understood that the McGarry
Company will construct over five miles
of the new improvement, while the
Tierney Company of Hoboken will lay
two and half miles of the line. 1t is
said that this is one of the largest and
most extensive water improvements
planned by the water company in
years.
The last foot of pipe will be laid
early in 1921, according to the plans
and specifications made by the COM
pany.

AT LAST ANOTHER HUDSON BRIDGE
TO Be BUILT BY new YORK AND N, j.
ENGINEER L|NDEL THAI MADE PLANS
If Reports May Be Trusted There Is No More Doubt
About the Newly Promised Bridge Than the Many
Other Paper Bridges Already Built
MEBBE THIS IS NOT A PHANTOM

Announcement is made this week
that Hudson river bridge is now a
certainty. If one had as many dollars
as Hudson river bridges that have been
planned one would be a millionaire.
And Gustav Lindentha1, an engineer
who has really built some notable
structures of this kind, is largely re-
spOnsible for many of the Hudson river
bridges that have not been built. How
ever, this time Engineer Lindenthal is
dead sure, because it is to be construct
ed on an old charter he has long held,
and that settles it for the time being.
From the reports now put out it
would appear that the Hudson bridge
is to start instanter, and the biggest
thing about it is that it is to cost $780,
100000, including some accompanying
tunnels, etc.
The daily papers this week contain
ed the details of the newest of the
Hudson river bridge enterprises, and
so confidently do they speak of it that
it appears to be all over but the shout
ing
Tentative plans call for a bridge
from Fifty-seventh street to Fourth
street, Union Hill. The structure
would be 5000 feet long. Mr. Linden
thai said it would take two years to do
preliminary work and that the bridge
would not be ready for use until five
years afterward Mr.. Lindenthal is
president Of the North River Bridge
Company, which has federal charter
for the erection of bridge across the
Hudson. He was commissioner of
bridges during Mayor Lows admins
tration.
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1920-02-14

The plans also call for conveyor
railroad or moving platform, running
from the bridge through the proposed
subway to all elevated and subway
lines in Manhattan, running north and
south, thereby providing direct connec-
ton with local lines in New Jersey:
rapid transit tracks for connecting
with the Ninth avenue elevated line:
pair of tunnel tubes from Greenville.
IN Jersey City, to Bay Ridge, L. l.,
about three miles long, to serve as the
last link in the all rail freight line
along the Atlantic seaboard from
Maine to Florida two track tunnel
under Audubon Park to connect the
river tracks of the New York Central
with the tracks of the Putnam division
and the Harlem division, providing an
other all through rail line for passen-
gers and freight between New England
and New Jersey, and a great power
plant to supply electric power for all
transportation lines Electric locomo-
tives would be used.
Under the plan every railroad in
New Jersey would have a direct en-
trance into Manhattan for freight and
passengers and also direct connection
with the roads on Long Island, Staten
Island and in New England Provi-
sion would be made that all railroads
within the territory of the port of New
York could readily and directly reach
tidewater frontage on Staten Island
sound and on Staten Island along the
lower bay, as well as in the upper bay,
where there would be an extensive sys-
TEN of steamer piers, each 1000 feet
long, on both the Jersey and Manhat-
tan sides.

Mrs. Otto Bernet
Dies of Influenza
After Short Illness

The sad news of the death of Mrs.
Otto Bernet of Anderson avenue, Pail
SADIE, was announced last Saturday
morning, February Z, she having pass
ed away at 2 a. m. Her ailment was
bubOnic influenza. Mrs. Bernet was
taken only the Wednesday previous,
and was therefore ill only eleven days
On the same day she was taken down,
her husband and little daughter Mar
CARTE, eight, were attacked with the
same illness. Harold, the six year old
son, escaped the malady. Mr.. Bernet
and Margarine soon recovered, though
both were quite sick. The entire COM
munity was greatly shocked at the sud-
den death of Mrs. Bernet who was
very popular with those who knew her.
She was neighborly woman, devoted
to her children and husband. She was
just turned thirty-one years of age
DIR. Margaret Brewster treated the
case, and did everything in her power
for the patient, but without avail.
The funeral took place Monday night
at the Bernet home, Rev. Gowen of the
Dutch Reformed Church, West New
York, officiating. The service was
most impressive. The floral offerings
were mute but beautiful evidence of
the high esteem in which Mrs. Bernet
was held by her many friends and
neighbors. The interment took place
on Tuesday at Kensico cemetery. For
the devoted husband and father, the
sympathy of the community goes out
as we'll to the motherless children.
Mrs. Bernet was native of New York
City, ana My. Bernet is assistant gem
eral manager of the American Art Gal
leries.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE CARRIED IN n. J,
STATE LEGISLATURE YIELDS TO
PUBLIC SENTIMENT; BILL PASSES
Bergens Senator VIM B. Mackaye Has the Honor of In
Producing the Now Historical Resolution World
War Thought to Have Changed Public Mind on
Suffrage.
GOVERNOR 10 SIGN THE BILL

Trenton, February 10.-The House
of Assembly, after fOur-hour fill
buster by the anti-suffrag adopted
Senator w. B. Mackay's resolution for
ratification of the woman suffrage
amendment by vote of thirty-four to
twenty-four. New Jersey is the
twenty-ninth state to ratify.
The filibustering against ratification
was lead by Minority Leader Barrett,
supported by Nugent men from Essex
and the Camden Republican assem-
blymen. Barrett tried to have the
suffrage question put up to a refer
endum of New Jersey voters at the
Presidential primaries on April 81,
and failing in this by a vote of thirty
three to twenty-five, he endeayored to
have action delayed in order to try
to gain more strength for his side on
the ground that the proposed amend
ment had not been certified to the
house by the secretary of state at
Washington. This attempt to block
ratification also failed. Other similar
efforts for delay met like fate.
How They Voted.
