GrantWoodite Back
From California
Meets Palisadians

Z. Beirne, the GrantwOOd realty Op-
orator, is just back from a two months
winter stay in California at Los An
geles. Mr.. Beirne has been there be-
fore and thinks this end of the country
good enough for him, though the South
ern California winters are most ap-
pealing. In speaking this week to
Palisadian representative, Mr.. Beirne
said: Il saw an old Palisadian at Los
Angeles, H. D. Douglas. He has re-
Gently moved out there with his family
from Vineland, n. j., where he sold
out some time ago at a good profit I
understand He has not settled as vet
into any business, but it will doubtless
be his old lOve-real estate. He knows
that better than anything else Yes, l
saw his sons, Emory and Harry, also.
Both are doing We'll Emory is with
the Standard Oil and has been for sew
eral years, and he is doing splendidly,
too, hear. Harry was in the aviation
service during the war, but never
heard whether he went over to the
other side or not
Mr., Beirne also spoke of the John
Nj. Hunters. They are living in Cali
fornia now, and the elder Hunter is
looking fit as fiddle. Walter Hunter
is in business, the father having re-
tired Walter is partner in a splen-
did business. He is putting out cab
met for auto dealers, a sort of first
aid-to-the-injured arrangement 1t is
one of the incest and most complete
things of the kind ever gotten up. 1t
contains everything needed for auto
injuries of every kind and is selling
like hot cakes. Out there automobiles
are thicker than hops, and always
someone is getting more or less injur-
ed, as is natural. This cabinet of young
Hunters sells itself, it is so attractive
and useful. I was glad 10 see all these
former Palisadians, and it made me
feel quite at home.
Mr.. Beirne is looking younger than
ever in his life and is prepared to do
more business on the Hilltop section
than ever before.

$133,6o0 Per Mile
Cost of Extension
Of Palisade Ave.

A contract has been let to John J.
McGarry of Edgewater for the extern
sion of Palisade avenue from the Bor-
ough of Cliffside Park, where it joins
Fort Lee near the Beckmann store
in Palisade, to Main street, Fort Lee.
This extension improvement will be a
mite over full mile, $500 feet, to be
exact, and it is hoped that it will be
this summer The state con-
tributes $4,000 of the cost, Fort Lee
the rest. This improvement will some
what mar the Palisade Fairgrounds in
the right field portion, but this can be
remedied, it is thought, by laying out
a new diamond. 1t is said that Mr..
McGarry now has over $1,OOO,OOO in
contracts for 1920, principally road
building. If the published price, $751;
600, of this Palisade avenue road is
correct. it is one of the cost1iest pieces
ever undertaken in the state anywhere.
While it is Il fine road, 20 feet wide,
with eight-foot shoulders on each side
of concrete, its length is only 5000
feet.

McCauley Mission
Men in GrantW'd
Sunday Evening

The Sunday night meeting of the
Christian Endeavor Society of the
Congregational Church, GrantwOod,
was one of the most interesting for
some time. A delegation from the
Jere McCauley Mission, New York, was
present, and some of them gave their
experiences. Miss Dorothy Kenworthy
sang a solo, which was greatly enjoy
ed. Superintendent John Wyborn of
the mission made an address, telling of
some of his own experiences and those
who had helped to build it into one of
the most famous organizations the
world has known. The men who spoke
looked like bankers and showed none
of the effects of drink, which was the
cause of their earlier downfall. The
stories told were of intense interest,
some of them having been inmates of
the alcoholic wards of Bellevue, later
being converted at the mission.
The McCauley. delegation was the
work of Charles Leeker, who formerly
worked in the mission when he lived in
New York, and who is still remember
ed there for what he did. The entire
evening was highly gratifying. Miss
Nina Shomber also sang. The little
auditorium was crowded to it's limits.

Engineer McClave
Favors Increase
in Auto Fees

Trenton, March 23.-The House
Highway Committee gave a hearing
to the two McAteer bills, one raising
fees for automobile trailers' license
from 81 to $40 and the other fixing
81 per horse power the unit for fixing
automobile licenses. Thomas Wasser,
of Hudson, and Ross McClave, of Ber-
gen county, engineers of their respec-
tive counties, spoke for the bills, say
ing this was fair rate. The oppo-
nents of the measures were automo-
bile truck owners who contended that
the idea of McAteer was to get some
twenty per cent more license fees.
The engineers insisted that this was
not true, but said that were it true it
would not more than pay for the wear
and tear on good roads made by heavy
trucks.

Astounding Meter
Charges Upset in
Water Co.'S Suit

In the case of the Kramer Weaving
Company VS.. the HacHensack Water
Company, instituted In the District
Court of the Third Judicial District of
the county of Bergen, the dispute was
over an alleged excessive water bill
submitted by the Hackensack Water
Company to the Kramer Weaving Com
pany for the quarter ending September
80, 1919.
The case was tried at Hackensack
before Judge Mattocks and jury on
Friday, February 49, The evidence
showed that for the quarter ending
June 3. 1919, the bill to the Kramer
Weaving Company was Sab. The
water bill in dispute for the quarter
ending September 80, 1919, was $1S9.O2.
The bin for the quarter ending De-
cembdIa1, 1919, was 1915. The plain
tiff sh led that the conditions at their
plant oaring the quarter ending Sep
TENDER 30, 1919, were in all respects
similar to the conditions during the
quarters ending June 80, 1919, and De-
cember 81, 1919, respectively, and that
there were no leaks anywhere in their
water system and that there had been
no repairs made to any part of their
plumbing. In reply the Hackensack
Water Company claimed that the me-
ter now in use by the Hackensack
Water Company could not register in
cOrrectly-at least, that. it could not
show higher registration than the
amount of water which actually passed
through the meter. 1t was their con-
tention that during the months of July,
August and September, 1919, the Kra-
mer Weaving Company had used 1885,
600 cubic feet of water. They admit
ted that there are seven and one-half
gallons in each cubic foot of water and
that 100000 cubic feet would amount
to 1,545,0OO gallons.
The case was submitted to the jury
on the question of the accuracy or in
accprai of the registration of the me-
tei a ,erdicr was rendered iii
favor [of the Kramer Weaving Com
pany or $1SL.17, the alleged excessive
bill hhving been paid by the Kramer
weaving Company under threat to dis
continue water service by the Hacken-
sack Water Company on November 81.
1919, and the verdict of the jury was
that fhe Hackensack Water Company
repay to the Kramer Weaving Com
pany approximately the amount of the
alleged excessive bill.
Campbell, DeTurck & West of Hack
ensack represented the plaintiff, and
Collins & Corbin of Jersey City repre-
sented the defendant.

Burning Noise
in Your Telephone
New Kind of Signal

The New York Telephone Company
has completed installing in central
offices in Manhattan, the Bronx, Brook
Ign and Newark new feature known
as the audible ringing signal, and Cliff
side subscribers may expect to hear it
on calls to those points.
The purpose of this signal is to
give the calling party definite, audible
notification that the work of putting
up the connection has been performed
by the operators concerned.
The signal is a low, burr-r-ing sound
lasting several seconds, followed by a
silent interval and then a renewal of
the burr-r-ing sound. 1t starts as soon
as the operator has established the
connection and lasts until the called
telephone answers or the operator tells
you that they do not answer.

Again Convicted;
Will Appeal Case

William Eisberg, the former police
man of Cliffside Park, has again been
convicted of neglect of duty by vote
of to l in the Borough Council but
it is said he will appeal the case
Neglect of duty and visiting a saloon
while on duty are among the charges
that have long been held against him.
The case has caused a great deal of
interest for many months. There is
something like $500 salary claimed
by Eisberg. Borough Counsel Arthur
Agnew made it rather warm for Els
berg at the trial Whisky may or may
not have been the cause of Eisberg's
trouble. He denies that it was.

Fort Lee Meeting
Hits High School
In Vote of So to %

At mass meeting held in Fort Lee
Thursday night in the Whitman Street
School, for considering sites for new
high school, the crowd of about 100
lost its patience and resolved, that it
is the sense of this meeting that we
are against the high school at this
time"
V. B. Kelly of Palisade presided and
made a speech on the Palisade six
acre site. He said it would add 200
houses to the borough and 81 100000
in values to the borough to build the
high school in Palisade. He said 50
new homes had been built in Palisade
within the past gear. a
John G. Abbott talked very fairly
about the sites and the great necessity
Of the school. His remarks were very
lucid, wholesome and fair.
Mr.. Molier's motion to express the
sentiment of the meeting against the
school caused much talk. Mr.. Allen
spoke drastically against the "condi-
ton of the borough" meaning high
taxes and continued expenditures. Mr.
Logan spoke of the necessity of the
high school, said he would like to see
it in Palisade, but the most cOnven-
lent site should be chosen. He knew
of tract of ii acres that could be
obtained, he thought, on the highest
eminence in the borough for $4,000 or
$4,000.
The meeting adjourned with nothing
accomplished except Mr.. Kelly's talk
on the Palisade site. The sentiment
was clearly out of temper with the
new school. Mr.. Abbott said all Ber-
gen county towns considered their high
schools their biggest asset and read a
Cliffside letter to prove it.

 Greater than we expected, the tourist travel this year was heavier than ever, with the result, at times, that there is no room to carry the Alaskans who want to move around. But this heavy travel exists all over the country. It is the same With the railways. In the East and West enc can't travel by train, unless res eryationS are made away m advance And it is the same with the hotels.
 Everybody on Move.
 "Everybody who seems to have money wants to go somewhere. We only wish the same volume of busl- ness would keep up all year. We could then put on faster and larger boats, giving Alaska a better serv'ce. But all through the winter we have to continue running the boats wlth only a few passengers and very lttie cargo. :,
 ..... Hotels Are Needed.
 I think Alaska ought to build

some tourists hotels says one in Juneau, one in Ketchikan and one ir Sitka and one in Skagway, where tourists could stop over and visit Alaska properly. It would afford them an opportunity to become more interested in the country, spend their money and make investments. Proper hotel accommodations are all that are necessary to bring more tourists to Alaska. A faster and larger steamship service will be pit on as soon as the hotels arc as sured." Mir. Haines added.
 Need For Advertising.
 Southwestern Alaska should also build tourist hotels and as business increased, they should be established in the interior so that tourists could go into Alaska by way of Skagway then to Fairbanks and out by Sew ard or Cordova. The tourist is a peculiar animal. He will go any where if there are good hotel ac- commodations. properly advertised
