Tenahy at-Scared
By Biting Felines

Tenafly has been in the midst of
cat scare for a week or more. A
few rabid cats got loose and bit peo-
pie, and the scare spread, until finally
so many were bitten that the council
took action and ordered a cat war.
This caused much alarm among those
who had fancy breeds of felines
around the house. But the borough
fathers who once gained fame by
posting jag list" on the highways
and public taverns and post office,
issued a proclamation against cats,
mad cats in particular.
According to the Hackensack Rec
ord, all cats at large must be killed
on sight. DIR. J. NJ. Mcclellan, Tena-
dy physician, Is now treating five resi-
dents of the borough for rabies, they
having been bitten by a mad cat.
DIR. Mcclellan told the council that
he has known of thirty cases of per-
sons bitten by cats in the past three
months.
Several days ago a cat bit Mrs.
James Mckeon of Grove street. 1t
then walked further down the street
and took a nip at Simon Marshall,
who was sitting on his front porch.
Then it toured the town and ended
It's journey at the Knickerbocker
Country Club on Knickerbocker road.
1t ran wild among the caddies and
guests and when the heat of battle
had passed and the casualties had
been counted it was found that two
caddies, Vincent Marshall, fifteen
years old, and guest, Mr.. A. Brier-
stead, had been bitten.
The cat was killed on the club
grounds and DR.. Mcclellan had it
shipped to the Lederle Laboratories
in New York city, where it was de-
'clared the cat suffered with rabies.
He Immediately had the five persons
take the Pasteur treatment and every
one concerned is anxiously awaiting
the outcome of the treatment.

though the members will devote their
own time and labors in building as
much of the courts as possible them
selves. it will still be necessary to meet
large expenditure for wire, posts and
lncidentalS above mentioned.
The Legion is Il growing organiZa-
ton, and it strives to aid in the guild
ance of the moral, physical and educa-
tional development of the future citi-
zens of the United States. The need
for place where the children of Pail
sadie may spend their leisure time is
best provided by the erection of the
above mentioned tennis courts.
1t is urged, therefore. that the IIe-
gion receive the backing of all Pail
sadians by subscribing to court privi-
leges if
l. Children and residents should
have the opportunity of indulging in a
mild but extremely beneficial form of
athletics.
2. Children should learn while young
a game that may be played throughout
their lifetime.
3. If you have children who play
tennis.
4. If You believe that the courts
will be an asset to the town.
5. If you play tennis yourself.
The Legion extends the invitation to
cooperate in the erection of these
courts. and any subscriptions for your
self or members of your family should
be sent to American Legion Court Com
mittee, Palisade, N. j., Ralph E. Hack

LINCOLN AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS
ORDERED BY CLIFFSIDE COUNCIL
WILL ADD TO THAT END OF TOWN

A recess meeting of the Cliffside
Council was held on Monday evening.
OF the large number present, Lincoln
avenue had an overwhelming majori-
ty of residents out.
The main reason of the meeting
was to hasten the work on sidewalks,
curb and gutter for this avenue by
Mayor Cadien and The Palisadian sew
eral weeks ago.
After long discussion, constitut-
ing a protest of residents of JasSa-
mine Way and the Grantwood Realty
Company and the reasons why by the
Lincoln avenue residents, the ordi-
nances received their second and third
readings and were accepted on motion
by Councilmen Mcguire and Marini.
The main objection seemed to be
the water from Lincoln avenue would
fill into the Jassamine sewer and put
more water into the cellars of those
homes which is there now. Mayor
Cadien explained that the situation at
Jassamine Way was tied up after an
agreement had been reached with Fort
Lee, whose money was now tied up,
thus keeping the situation as it Is.
Closed bids for the laying of the
Lincoln avenue sidewalk, curb and
gutter were filed.
Bedelli & Linardi received the curb
and gutter job and the Bergen Con-
tracing Company got the sidewalk.
A short discussion was brought up
about the appropriations for the new
fire truck. This, on a motion intro
duced by Mr.. Mcguire, was laid over
to the next meeting.
Miss Niehaus and Mr.. Perkins were
awaiting a Lawton avenue discussion.

MOOSE CLUB MEETING FOR CAD|EN
AR0USES INTEREST; SPEAKERS
DISCLAIM ANY UNFAIR METHODS

An interested audience of men and
women filled the new spacious Moose
Hall, Saturday evening, October Is,
and heard some clear cut arguments
expressed in excellent oratory in be-
half of the candidacy of Mayor John
c. Cadien and Councilman John g..
Mcguire.
Practically every phase of the stu
alton was touched upon by the various
speakers who established by a pre-
penderence of weighty reasons the fact
that In the present mayoralty race in
Cliffside Park the real interest of all
the people will be best represented by
retaining John c. Cadien as mayor.
Mayor Cadien speaking in defense
of his administration took occasion to
deny or to refute the numerous rumors
which continue to be circulated in
town in connection with his candidacy
and urged those present as he has al
ways urged his many unbiased friends
to be on their guard against the sys-
tematic attempts which are being
made to becloud the situation by keep
ing the minds of the people from the
real facts concerning his untiring
efforts to fulfill his duty to all the
people.
This unselfishness and willingness to
work for them the mayor asserted has
Its reward in the confidence the peo-
pie have had in him by retaining him
in office in the past and he feels that
the people will not fail to continue to
have that confidence in his present
ability
1t is not his candidacy alone that
= is in issue but IL is the bigger question
of whether any public servant who has
worked faithfully for all the people
can expect SO little appreciation of his
efforts that those for whom he has
worked will defeat him with no more
valid argument than that they want a
change.
This the mayor believes would SUBJ
vert our entire system of government
for one of the most effective reasons
why an office holder is willing to give
up so much time and energy is to Sc
cure the confidence and esteem of his
fellow men and if so unsound an ar
gument as that OF wanting change
should be the reward for faithful serv-
ice, public servants could not be eX-
pected to work so conscientiously and
untiringly for all.
Councilman John Z. Mcguire took
as his subject "The borough improve
ments," and asserted that as long as
he has been on the Council Board he
has always tried to exercise his best

TO THE RESIDENTS OF PALSADE, N. ],

For a number of years Palisadians
nave felt and talked of the need of
facilities for basketball, social gather
lngs and tennis, a need that is more
urgent each year.
Tennis is without doubt the most
popular Of all sports in small towns.
1t can be played with small amount
of equipment, one opponent and for a
few minutes or for hours, as the play
ers may choose. The game may be
played by children and adults. Many
men of sixty-five years are still enthu-
siastic players. Available tennis
courts aid in drawing a high class of
people to be your neighbors.
With the benefits in mind accruing
to Palisadians through the acquisition
of tennis courts, the julius Zanette
Post of the American Legion has Sc
cured the land adjoining the ball field
for the erection of four tennis courts.
All residents of Palisade will be eligi-
Bile to court privileges upon payment
of the same dues as Legion members.
These dues have been kept as low as
possible and are as follows:
Men, one year, $40; two years, SIS;
three years, $25; boys under sixteen
years, four years, $50; five years, $40;
ladies, one year, &c. two years, Sill;
three years, SIS; children under six
teen years, four years, $40; five years,
s24.
The cost of building and enclosing
tennis courts and of such necessary
ncidentals as nets, roller, benches,
markers, etc., is considerable, and,
