PAL|SADE ROADS TARV|A- SMEARED
TO EvERYB0DYS SUPREME DISGUST
CONSIDERED RAW WASTE OF MONEY

The oling of the side streets in Pail
SADIE late last week brought forth so
many howls and swear words that in
dignation was rife and mere cussing
nothing at all. Just what the street
commission had in mind no one seems
to know. The streets, every one of
them, are in bad condition, full of
holes, and no sort of improvements
had been put on the surface anywhere
so there was nothing to REINFORCE with
tarvia that finally hardens and makes
the road last longer. Several Palisa-
dams registered savage kicks. One of
these said:
"What has got into our borough.

thing | have seen done in years. Our
homes are being tracked up with this
devilish tarvia, and automobile own
ers are raving mad at the miserable
mess their cars are in. 1t is a shame,
and that is drawing it mildly"

Boston Swindler
Taken in Forgery

Joseph A. Chandler of Boston, Mass,
alias Won Western and Moffatt, who
gave his address as Hotel Cumber-
land, New York, was arrested in Edge
water Tuesday afternoon after secur-
ing $1,000 on forged cneck from the
North Jersey Trust Company.
The notorious swindler, who is want
ed in Trenton, Jersey City, Paterson,
East Orange and New York for similar
offenses, was trailed to Edgewater by
PinkertOn detectives. Going into the
bank, Chandler saw {, man blot check
after signing it. He took the blotter
and by using mirror made out the
name of William Muller and at once
proceeded to make an almost perfect
copy.
After cashing the check Chandler
boarded a ferryboat; so did Chief
O'Brien and Roundsman Gould. The
swindler was arrested and the blotter
and bank book were taken from the
river, where Chandler had thrown
them to destroy evidence
The prisoner was committed to the
Hackensack Jail under 1880 bail to
await the action of the grand jury.

PALlSADE BIRDS
TAME AND FRIENDLY

The birds that home in the Palisade
woods and especially those that nest
near residences and along the walk
ways to the Edgewater ferry become
wonderfully friendly and almost famil-
lar at times. Down on the foOtpath to
the ferry several thrush may be seen
any morning sitting on the railing as
people pass along or else are Juggling
at worm or bit of meat or bread
some one has let fall. They pull and
work at the food totally obliviOus of
those who pass along, and sometimes
people stop and say pleasant things to
Mrs. Speckled Thrush, which she APP
pears to enjoy. And how beautiful she
is in her brown suit!
The other morning brilliant wood
pecker allowed this reporter to pass
him by while he pulled at worm on
the sidewalk almost under the walk
er's feet. Other birds, such as wrens,
robins and English sparrOws, are also
very tame, one lady having sparrow
who comes to her porch rail constantly
and asks for food as coyly as bird beg
gar can. And as for the rabbits--well,
that's another story. They are too
dashed familiar for any use.

duced near New York. The fidelity of
treatment is really quite remarkable.
Inc street starts with a magnificent
Old brown stone mansion, with a tall
IRON picket fence In front, with tall
stone columns for gate posts with Ian
terms on top, and trees growing in
the front garden. The house sits back
some thirty feet from the sidewalk
looks much weather beaten and has a
living ivy vine covering portion of
the right front wall, making the repro
ductiOn all the more real because of
the trees and vines. The whole house
is as natural as life. On further along
the street are rows of small business
houses, some small shops, a tea and
coffee house, selling fried fish and
chips Over an old ale house is the
sign: Truman, Tuanone and Baxter,
Ales, Stout and Beer"
Another old ale house has this
legend: Puritan Brand, Pale and Old
Ales"
A fine example of barber shop has
this sign in the window: Shaving, Id,

There is curve in the street, and
2 cross section, which makes. It look al,
the more real. When finished there
will be cObble stones in the roadway.
One of the windows of bar room has
wine bottles and whiskey bottles in it,
looking for all like the real thing.
Some of the windows have real cur
tains hung, everything being as real as
the highest form of art can initiate age
in an old street, and the man who con-
ceived this production certainly did his
best.

$4,000 PER acre FOR PAL|SADE
LAND AT JUNCTION WHERE THEATER
C0RP'N IS SOON TO BUILD BLOCK

The sale of the plot of land at Pail
SADIE Junction to the Palisade Theater
Corporation brings to light the fact
that it is the highest-priced piece of
property in the entire borough of Fort
Lee at this time. The property is
about 200 feet long by ia feet wide
and sold for the tidy sum of $1,000. As
before stated, the deal was consum-
mated through Harry D. Schall. The
promoters made the second and bind
ing payment on Thursday of this week,
which ends the purchasing negotia-
lions
There are 80, 100 square feet of space
on this theater property, or nearly
three quarters of an acre. This would
bring the pro rata price per acre on the
property at the rate of over $23, 900 per
acre, even higher than the Sanford
Ross property sold two years ago to
the Interstate Park at the rate of $22,-
600 per acre.
you can say for me-" said a promi-
nent Palisadian this week, that this
deal satisfies me regarding the safety
bound to promote the growth of prop
erty here, and l look to see values go
right along to where they belong.
Property here is lower now than it
should be. We needed just this kind
of boost for our general interests
Asked this week if the success of the
theater enterprise depended upon Pali-
SADIE taking stock in it, one of the lead
ers of the enterprise said:
Eyes, of course, largely. We have
got to have Palisades support. l do
not say that we must have their money
in stock altogether before we begin
operations, but the town will be bet
tered more certainly by this deal than
anything that ever took place in tie
entire history of the place, and / know
those who ran VIII be siIsy sc5 sssad
to help the cause along. The theafer
will certainly be built, you may depend
on that"
1t is stated that a regular canvass
will be made of Palisade, and soon an
announcement will be made that at
least two meetings per week will be
held at which the entire public of Pali-
SADIE will be invited to be present
The capital of the corporation is
S125,000 as stated, 1,250 shares of 500
each. The common stock will consist
of 5000 shares with no par value.

Falls
ToLeonia, S to 1

The Palisade ball team went to
Leonia again last Saturday and lost
an interesting game that might have
been saved except for the usual breaks
that made picking up impossible. Nc
Clatchy, pitching for Leonia is an old
fox in the box, and uses his head to
advantage. He did not yield many
hits, six in all, and those that did get
by him did not materialize into runs.
For Palisade, Hollinbeok pitched a
very good game, with "boy catcher"
holding his slants, and nobody ever
saw youngster do better than little
Haase did for Palisade Hollinbeck
is no easy man to hold, but Haase not
only held him well, but with a smart
ness seldom shown by older players.
The game was more free of errors
than the one played by the same teams
the previous week, but Palisade pre-
sented rather weak outfield, so far
as hitting was concerned Palisades
team is not composed of heavy men
by any means, but they play very good
ball, needing hitting strength sadly,
however. In addition to getting two
hits Hollinbeck pitched good ball, and
surprised his Palisade friends, who
thought he was better fitted for catch
ing. The game as a whole was inter-
esting, and showed how modern base
ball can be made about the most in
teresting of any. The LeOnia grounds
are very good except for the right
field, which does not exist.

GOV. EDWARDS FIRES OLD HIGHWAY
BOARD, Gets SENATE TO ACCEPT
new MEMBERS WITH ONE EXCEPTION

New Jerseys biggest sensation this
week was the BUSTING of the old High
way Board and the appointment of his
new one. The new members named
by Governor Edwards are as follows:
George L. Burton of South River.
chairman; John Ferris of Jersey CITY !:
George Paddock, Newark; Assembly
man David Young, Morris county: Will
nam j. Kirby, SOmerville, and Thomas
b. Collins, Elizabeth.
The old Edge State Highway Com
mission comprised the late George d.
blakeslee, who died soon after being
elected Boulevard Commissioner of
hudson county; John w. Herbert Of
Mlddlesex county; Col Anthony Kuser
OF Somerset county; Robert S. Par
sons of Nutley; Watson G. Clark of
Bergen county; Samuel Haverstock of
Mercer county; Walter q. Busby of
Atlantic county.
The senate in special session on
wednesday accepted these appoint
ments except George L. Burton, of
South River. Burton was rejected, it
IS sald, because he is supposed to favor
the use of Warrenite as the material
for the construction of state highways
instead of concrete, which the old
board favored. This gave rise to the
rumor that the fight on the new high
way board was Warrenite, VS.. Con-
crete battle. Burton was to have been
president of the new board Jim MI
gent was on hand in favor of the War
renite board. If politics of this char
acter has drifted into Governor Ed
wards administration, it is most re-
grettable. The general impression
among all autoists IS that a properly
built concrete highway is not only the
best, but most serviceable of all roads
so far tried.

raked in a clean combing, getting a
wagon load full of young men and wo-
men and taking them to the lookup in
Fort Lee. By this act the mayor gain

On Sunday week a train of some 80
wagons came loaded with not less than
300 people for one of the noisy picnic
frOlics that section is noted for Mayor
Hill also cleaned this bunch out, and
again got the thanks of the families
living in that neighborhood. 1t was
