Custom'r-O wners'p
Pub. Serv. Success

Inc "customer-oWnership" campaign
inaugurated by the Public Service Cor
poration of New Jersey has been a
complete success. The management
of the company undertook to secure
the active cooperation of as many of
its patrons as it could by inviting
them to subscribe for its per cent
cumulative preferred stock, with a
limit of ten shares to customer, I'M
der the installment payment plan pro-
vided. The preferred stock carries the
same voting privileges as the common
and a block of 10000 shares was au-
thorized issued for the experiment.
Under the law the corporations stock
cannot be sold below par, and, as none
had ever been issued below that fig
ure, par was the price fixed for the
"customer-ownership" offer.
1t took just ten weeks to day, elm
mating Sundays and holidays, to dis
pose of the 10000 shares, the average
being 1000 shares week at a time
when the local security market was
unusually sluggish. From the CON-
pany's standpoint the most gratifying
feature of the effort was that the
stock was sold to Z, 474 individuals.

LARGE REAL ESTATEDEAL |NFT.LEE:

acres, just east of the highest hill in
Leonia and two blocks south of Main
street, Fort Lee, was sold to Messrs.
Louis Ponsi of Fort Lee and E. j.
Hazlitt of Leonia, a prominent impor-
ter and exporter, having his place of
business in New York city, lower
Broadway. The property in question is
one of the most valuable tracts in the
borough and when it is improved will
be one of the best investment values in
Fort Lee. Sewers and water will be in
PRODUCED at once, streets run through
the property, sidewalks laid and the
general effect improved for the mar
ket. There will be somewhere near
ITO lots in the tract and because of the
attractive location should bring fancy
values. The view overlooking Leonia
is always inspiring, one of the finest in
Bergen county, and so regarded. The
property joins the choicest home sites

begin operations at once, as they are
determined to open it up to the public
at the earliest possible moment. When
fully built up with modern homes this
long idle land should make one of the
most attractive localities anywhere and
greatly improve that section of Fort
Lee, which has long needed it.
Mr.. Ponsi, who made the deal
through Charles T. Logan of Palisade,
who is associated with the Beckwith
advertising interests in New York, has
long had his eye on this property with
view to getting it for. development.
1t is one of the largest available tracts.

the ordinary and has promise of taking
position with the best men in his line

BIG P0NTOON BRIDGE OF WAR SHIPS
TO CROSS HUDSON At YONKERS SURE
TOPROMOTE CAUSE OF LARGE BRIDGE

Later facts about the pontoon bridge
across the Hudson river, proposed i'll
the bill introduced in the United States
senate by Senator Joseph s. Freling-
huysen of New Jersey, have been Sc
cured from George A. Post president
of the Hudson River Bridge and Ter
minal Association, who is one of the
incorporators named in the bill, ere
ating the Hudson River Bridge Pom
toon Company, actively promoting the
enterprise. Said Mr.. Post:
'As to the manner of construction
of the bridge as planned-there will
be used about forty ships of the type
known as the Ferris wooden cargo
boats, of which the Shipping Board has
$50 available. These ships are 26S
feet long, 45 feet wide and 261a feet
deep, weighing about 1000 tons each.
1t is expected that these boats can be
purchased from the United States
Shipping Board at figure which will
allow of the building of the bridge at
an expense low enough to warrant the
expectation Of a fair return on the
capital invested.
"At the point in the river where the
bridge is to be located, according to
the present plan, the average depth
Of the water Is forty feet, with a
| tidal rise of four feet to six and one
half feet, and the current has an aver
age speed of three to four miles an
hour. The ships (pontoons) are to be
100 feet apart, at centers, anchored to
screw piles with cables. This will
leave ITO feet clearance for river boats
to pass between the pontoons. The
steel superstructure will have a clear
way of not less than thirty-five feet,
enough for most of the river craft to
pass under with ease, For tall-masted
! ships there will be drawbridge in
| the center, with 40 feet clearance.
1t is estimated that ship can pass
through the draw in five minutes, so
that the delays to traffic crossing the
bridge will be very slight. At the
draw span there will be a fender boat,
on each side of the opening, to guide
boats through.
ut Is planned to build at first three
roadways-each ten feet wide-with
| two platforms for pedestrians. If
| traffic warrants, additional roadways
can be provided. The weight of the
structure itself will settle these boats
down into the water, so that any
additional traffic put on the bridge
will not in any way affect its buoy
ancy, and will not be felt by those
using the bridge. The draw will be
of the lift type. A steel tower will
be erected on one boat and another
boat anchored beside it will carry the
electric hosting winches for hosting
and lifting the draw. The weight will
be so distributed on these two ships
that there will be no tipping action
at all in the operation of the lift
draw"

Numerous complaints have been

Edw'd A. Kenney
For Clihside Head
To the Editor Palisadian:

Dear Sir-At the instance of a large
number of citizens of Cliffside Park l
have become a candidate for the office
of mayor at the ensuing election. NY
candidacy has been brought about, not
by any aspiration of my own, although
L regard election to the mayoralty of
the borough as a signal honor, but,
rather, through the earnest solicitation
of many of my fellow citizens, who
have expressed confidence in my abili-
ty to give the borough an efficient, pro-
gressive, economical, impartial and
dignified administration.
1t has been rumored from time to
time that in reality l am not a candi-
date, that l propose to use the force,
strength and momentum my candidacy
has developed in favor of some other
candidate, that at some opportune mo-
ment l shall withdraw from the mayor
atty contest.
Perhaps I should allow such a rumor
to vanish into thin air. Yet, lest there
linger in any quarter any doubt of my
honesty of purpose, it is probably not
uniting that deny the truth of such
assertions, if l may be permitted to do
so through the medium of your good
offices.
By way of assurance to my fellow
citizens l would like to and do say that
am and shall remain a candidate, that
L shall not misuse the support / have
received or shall hereafter receive and
that l shall by no manner of means
withdraw from the contest.
Throughout shall be available for
election by the voters of the borough
In other words, if my townspeople
shall desire me to fill the office of
mayor as guardian of their welfare
they will not lack the opportunity of
carrying out their wishes.
Thanking you for any courtesy you
may extend.
Very truly yours,
EDWARD A. KINNEY.

Route No. 1OHas
Been Changed

That there has been a sudden change
in the plans of the Route No. 10 high,
way now nearing completion up the
cliff from Edgewater is evidenced by
the condition of the work. The sur
face is rapidly being put on, but has
stopped at a point east from the f. Y
Cohen home. Workmen in charge say
the route will be changed to run in
front of the Cohen house to Palisade
avenue. 1t was originally intended to
run through Bluff road from the
Hodgins property, triangle having
been already cut from that lot and
paid for by the state board. If Bluff
road is cut out it will cause great re-
joicing in Palisade.

Palisade Tennis
Tournament On

On Saturday afternoon, July 80, the
Palisade Tennis Club began it's dou-
bles tournament. The teams were
drawn by lot, which had a tendency to
create greater interest, as the relative

to determine.

the tournament:
J. Lane and Bulge, J. Crowley and
Greer; G. Hacker and w. Crowley, J.
Lane and Elkan; De Paoli and Per-
kins, Carson and Lyons; Brady and
Moore, Buchanan and Brown; J. Bark
1age and Drake, HOlthausen and FreW !;
Beckmann and Bromelier, Hunicke and
Noble Borgstede and r. Hacker, New
mark and Magai.
The victors in the first round were:
and Crowley, 6-1, 6-3; De Paoli and
Perkins, Cd, 6-3: Buchanan and
Brown, 10, +6, 6-3; Holthausen
and Frew, Sc, 6-3.
Beckman and Bromelier, 15-13, Ga /;
Borgstede and Hacker, 4-6, GO, 81.
The second round reduced the above
to four teams:
Hacker and Crowley, 6-3, Cd +;
Buchanan and Brown, Is, 1O-S
Beckman and Bromelier, Is, g.
Borgstede and Hacker (bye).
On Tuesday the third round was
completed so that the teams for the
finals will be Buchanan and Brown

Watkins Pond Has
Needy Family

Many people in Palisade and Edge
water know the family living in the
little shack of house near Watkins
pond, half way to Fort Lee Under a
squatter sovereignty privilege this
family has lived in this place for - or
10 years. The children number seven
or eight, and some of them are grown
nearly. There are still several small
girls and boys, who help the mother,
while the father works in the park by
the day.
Last Sunday morning a Palisadian
rode along the new highway awheel
and saw little ten-year-old girl car
rying a pail of wafer There was once
spring near the home.
Where do you get that clear wa
ter?" asked the reporter.
From the rOadmen's pipe" she re-
piled as she sat the sparkling pail
down.
"What is the matter with your beer
keg spring."
Its all dried up now"
1t was pitiful example of life's ne
cessities, for the water had to be car
ried almost a quarter of a mile. An
hour later the reporter, returning over
the highway, saw the same child and a
younger brother breaking small sticks
near the roadside for frewood. And
so here is fine opportunity for the
heart of Palisade to assert itself and
help the poor. There was never a
more appealing case.
