MAYOR CADIEN'S FITNESS

'The Pasadian" has its position regarding local
politics pretty well backed up-fortifed, in fact
through the fair and liberal attitude of Seymour
Sears perhaps the most prominent local politician
Eastern Bergen County Mr. Sears prints an article this
week advocating the Republican candidate for Mayor
OF Clside This is his right, of course but he depre
Gates feeling against anyone merely because neigh
bors do not candidates. "The Palisadian" has
had strong leaning towards Mayor Cadiep through
any personal bias in his favor but because the editor
took occasion BEFORE the campaign started to
make inquiries about the candidates being talked
OF at that time and the consensus of OPINION FROM
SEVERAL OF THE LEADING CITIZENS OF THE
BOROUGH WAS THAT MAYOR CADIEN HAD MADE
A VERY SATISFACTORY MAYOR. Having no interest
in the election except that of fair play this newspaper
has felt that the good Mayor Cadien given
of himself in the most trying period of the boroughs
history entitled him to continuance in power if for
other reason than that in the season of the country
history that tried mems SOULS he had been found loyal
and patriotic and that since that tme during the
construction PERIOD he had been steady at the helm and
had guided the destnies of his people into the light of
progress and unexampled prosperity. The number of
public improvements the steady increase of population,
the magnificent roadways, the building of the high
school, pride of the borough and the continuance of
prosperity all taking place under Mayor Cadiens
of Office indicate that he has been the of the hour,
and should be regarded the best adapted for the
next two to set Cside Park Borough before the
public as the model municipality of Bergen fit example
of correct government and community getting along
and going somewhere right.

Arcola Bridge
May Be Rebuilt

The Board of FreehOlders had up
this week the matter of running a
walkway for pedestrians on the south
side of the Arcola bridge over Saddle
river at that point. An estimate was
made that the sidewalk could be add
ed for about $1,000, with the sugges-
ton that a new bridge be put up
which could be done for about what
the sidewalk would cost. In this con-
nection a prominent citizen said of
this proposal this week:
"I am no bridge builder, but If that
Arcola bridge is everSput up for $1,000
it will be at time when material is
far cheaper than it was long before
the war; l would say that the bridge
would cost, new, with enlarged facili-
ties to accommodate traffic, not less
than $4,000 to $4,000. I hope I am
wrong"
But whatever is built it should be
in conformity with the beautiful and
picturesque surroundings, whatever
the cost That is what most people
would like and expect from this rich
county.

Pinard Home
Sold At $4,000

The handsome Alcide Pinard home,
corner of Bluff and Cumbermede
roads, Palisade, was sold this week
through Harry Schall to a New Jer-
sey purchaser for $4,000. The party
to the trade is not yet named owing
to the fact that the details are not yet
completed, but he is Jerseyite, mar
ried and has daughter. The Pinards
have lived in Palisade about twelve or
thirteen years, and may almost be
called pioneers of the village. 1t is to
be hoped that they will not leave this
locality. They have raised family of
three children, Alcide, Earl, two boys,
now about nineteen and sixteen, and
Evangeline, the lovely little daughter,
about ten, and all are deservedly pop
ular. Alcide is now associated with
his father in the photograph business
in New York City, while Earl is still
in high school. AS for Evangeline, she
is still breaking hearts in the neighbor-
hood, and is one of the dearest little
tots that ever lived. She is the joy of
her friends. The many friends of the
Pinards hope they will not leave,
though, Mr.. Pinard has been consider
ing going to Los Angeles, Cal.

School Boards
Accusers Beaten
Communicated

The hearing of the case against the
Cliffside Park School Board, set for
Tuesday. November 1, has been post
poned until after the election, the date
fixed being November u. The post
ponement was obtained on the request
of Mr.. MacAuley, counsel for the
plaintiff, who pleaded excessive busi-
ness pressure as his reason for inabil-
|ity to proceed when the case was
called before Judge Mintern in Tren-
ton on Tuesday.
The suit brought against Henry F.
Goemann, president Of the School
Board, for contempt of court in hav-
ing an election by the people after a
writ enjoining further action of the
board had been served was lost by de-
fault through failure of the plaintiff
to appear in court when the case was
called. AS matter of fact, Mr.. Goe-
mann called his election after the writ
was dead through nonappearance of
the plaintiff upon the date named for
the hearing, which was previous to
the election.
The postponement on Tuesday is re-
garded by the supporters of the School
Board as a significant move in view
of the fact that considerable uprOar
has followed the appearance of Attor-
ney Walscheid, counsel for the board,
upon the occasion of the mass meeting
held in the High School last Friday
evening. In his address at that meet
ing Mr.. Walscheid emphasized the
fact that no one has the right to re-
strain the vote of the people.
The fact that the accusers of the
School Board have taken exception to
Mr.. Walschied's presence ON the plat
form Friday evening and to his state
ment before the people of the situation
as it actually exists is regarded as
conclusive evidence of the indefensi-
BILE position that now confronts the
boards accusers.

| Woman Contrib.
Has Her Doubts
(Contributed)

AS election approaches, interest in
the outcome of the campaign in Cliff
side Park increases in intensity. Never
before in the political history of the
borough have there been such wide
spread activity and such divergent
lines of feeling concerning the mayor
atty candidates and the issues at stake.
That dissatisfaction with the present
administration is broadcast, is evi-
denced by the tenacity with which the
opposing forces are attacking each
other ,and by the sharpening of the
weapons of conflict as the campaign
draws to it's close.
The people of the borough are awake,
and awake as, they never have been
before, to a sense of justice, to the
demands of their conscience and to the
attitude which those demands impose
upon their action, if the best interests
of the community are to be given the
attention to which they are entitled,
and for which the people of the bor-
ough are paying in no inconsiderable
terms.
Superficial judgment is easy; but the
fruits of such judgment often turn to
ashes in the hands of those who gath
cred them. 1t requires effort to con-
slider the merits and qualifications of
the different candidates as they are
presented for approval. No man or
woman should go to the poles on this,
or any other election day, without hav-
ing pondered on the issues that lie
in the balance, and without having
thought out clearly for himself and
herself the line af action to be taken.
The casting of the ballot is far too
often regarded as a trivial, but obliga-
tory act, rather than as a solemn func-
ton to be performed in order to insure
the perpetuity of the social order as
body of self-respecting, self-govern-
ing men and women, upon whose deci-
sion depends the welfare of the COM
munity whose benefactions they enjoy.
Ample opportunity has been given
in the present campaign for all parties
to present. their case. When the line
of contrast is so sharply drawn be-
tween the opponents as it is at present,
it is not easy to forecast what the ver-
dict will be. The most that can be
said and hoped for is that the people
will be fair and true to themselves, to
their sense of justice, and to their in
alienable right to demand and to re-
ceive square deal

feelings if our neighbor does not hap
pen to think as we do.
The Republican ticket6 as selected
in the primaries, having the support of
the very large percentage of the Re-
publican voters, not only on our bor-
ough ticket in Cliffside Park, but on
the county ticket throughout the coun-
ty, speaks for it's strength and general
character of the men running for the
various offices.
On Saturday night, November 5,
Sheriff Kinsley, who is widely known
and respected, not only in Bergen coun-
ty, but throughout the state, will speak
at a Republican mass meeting to be
held at Stetkas' hotel, Cliffside. The
county candidates, some of whom have
not yet been heard in our borough dur
ing this campaign, have been notified
and are to speak.
In presenting the Republican ticket
for the consideration Of the voters of
our borough we believe that we have
been indeed fortunate to secure for
nominees men of such we'll known quail
titles in business and commercial life as
Frederick l.. Smith, Frank A. Meyer
and Nicholas J. Schweitzer All three
of these men have been residents of
our borough for a great many years.
All of them have had positions of trust
at various times, and all of them have
performed their services where they
had been so honored with fidelity and
Snlendid ayecutive ability
AS one of the Republican leaders of
the borough and county, / suggest to
all those who are Republicans in prin-s
ciple that these men are the choice az
the organization and are up to fiS<
high standard usually presented by our
party for the approval of the people.

Majority for Rep.
Ticket Predicted

State Senator William B. Mackay
Jr., in an interview this week, said
that the entire ticket would be elected
with handsome majority.
For the assembly we have John Y.
Dater of Ramsey, William De Loren
20 of Hackensack and Robert Todd of
Palisades Park. They are the type of
men who by their legislative, profess
sional and business training can be
depended upon to ably represent Ber-
gen county in the legislature.
The freeholders, William H. Rob-
erts of Closter, Albert q. Bogert of
River Edge and William Beswick of
Garfield, all are successful business
men, property owners and taxpayers
who have served the county faithfully
and have given the taxpayers an eff
cient, progressive and economic ad-
ministration.
In closing, the senator said he felt
sure that the Republican men and wo-
men would take certain amount of
pride in keeping Bergen county in the
Republican ranks and would vote and
work for the entire ticket.
Joseph A. Brohel, chairman of the
Republican County Committee, said
AT a special meeting of the County
Committee last week the reports from
the committee men and women show
that the 176 districts are in fine

'Disposses Process
On Grantw'd Wom'n

Dispossess proceedings instituted
several months ago by Miss Wilhel-
mine Ballade, the well known violin
ist, against Mrs. Margaret e. CAL
laghan eliminated on Saturday, when
the constable's order for immediate
possession was put in effect. Mrs.
Callaghan's household effects were re-
moved from the premises by order of
yhe constable from Hackersack at an
early hour Saturday morning.
When the case was tried before
Judge Foster in the Englewood district
court some three weeks ago Judge
Fosters decision gave notice to Mrs.
Callaghan to vacate by October %.
The failure of the defendant to COM
ply with the law resulted in the sum-
mary measures taken. Miss Ballade
is the sole owner of the property, a
large two-family residence and grounds
in Grant avenue, Grantwood, bestowed
on her by her mother. Mrs. Callaghan
has been a tenant of the lower apart
ment for the past eighteen months.
Palisadian., 1921-11-05

I lay legitimate share of these bur-
dens upon new houses which would be
built as result of these improve
ments, and not place an unfair portion
OF the burden upon vacant property,
and on improved properties erected
before these Improvements went in.
1t was expected that the interest
would be offset by the surplus accumu-
lating annually from the ordinary ap-
come such as franchise taxes. The
war interefered with this plan. Money
for totally unexpected purposes had
to be raised, such as the equipment and
maintenance of the Home Guard,
bonuses to increase salaries of police
men, men working on roads, and for
borough officials. Naturally, we were
forced to take whatever money was
in sight. The first thing that we used
was the surplus which had been ac-
cumulating.
This was done in the years 1917, 1918,
1919. 1920 and 1921. In 1919, S13,-
1854 was taken from the surplus
avoiding the necessity of taking that
much money out of the taxpayers
pockets for that year. In 1920, $1O,-
600 was taken from the surplus fund
and in 1921 $4,000 was taken from
this source, leaving a balance Of only
$500 in the surplus fund.
The Tax Exemption law, which ex-
nr ltc, froy, TOW 4
1925, all dwellings erected between
October 1, 1920, and October. 1, 1922,
has entirely upset the plans of the
mayor and council for taking care of
The borough's share of our public I'M
provements. Houses to the value Of
one million and quarter dollars have
already been erected in this borough
since October 1, 1920, and it is reason
able to suppose that another million
dollars worth Of dwelling houses will
be erected in this borough by October
l, 1922, making total of two million
and a quarter dollars. This is a
very unjust law for growing COM
munity like ours, for it means that
the owners of vacant property and
OF houses Dullt before october l, l9ZO,
must pay the share of taxes from now
until October 1, 1922, which the own
ers of these new houses ought in all
justice to pay. In other words, the
owners of these houses are getting
practically free school facilities, 6ree
police protection, ETC., at the expense
of the older residents of the borough.
l think the true policy for the mayor
and council to pursue is to endeavor
to carry along a portion of the cost
of public improvements which goes
against the whole borough until such
time that all these new houses may
be made to bear their share of it,
even though it may necessitate COM
pounding interest.

warren E. SAMM|S, BANK PRESIDENT,
DEFENDS CADIEN Administration
With RELIABLE FACTS AND FIGURES

During the present mayoralty cam
paign some criticisms have been made
of the action of the chairman of the
Finance Committee prior to Mr.. Posts
incumbency Of that position.
/ am not working for any of the
present candidates, but 1 feel it my
duty to say something in defense of
the Newman and Cadien administra-
tions under which the public improve
ments of the borough have been made,
and during whose administrations 1
was chairman of the Financial Com
mittee until 1920.
These improvements were started in
l912 under Mr.. Newmann's admins
tration, by the passage of an ordinance
for the construction of a system of
borough sewers and disposal plant.
for the improvement of Palisade ave-
nue. and Gorge road, and the construc-
tiOn of lateral sewers down to the pres
ent time. All this work was done by
advertising for bids, and bids Of the
lowest responsible bidders were ac-
cepted. AS matter of record, most
of this work was done at remarkably
low prices.
The cost Of these improvements was
largely placed upon the properties ben
,efited by assessments. A portion was
left to be taken care of by the borough
as whole, by means of general tax
alton.
Il has been charged that the mayor
nd council did not make ample pro-
lision for this portion of the cost of
he improvements placed upon the bor-
ugh as a whole. That they did not
Ten make provision for the Interest,
.pat allowed it to become compound.
This is not true.
The borough authorities have always
kept their expenditures within the an
nual appropriations for borough pur-
poses, and scarcely year has gone
by without there being a surplus left
over at the end Of the year in appro-
priations for borough purposes. For
instance, in 1918 the mayor and coun-
Gil saved $2,792.57 out of these appro-
priations. (See financial report, 1918,
Schedule 81
AT the end of the year 1917 the bor-
ough had an unappropriated surplus of
$26,741.3O (See financial report, 1918,
Exhibit "C.")
This money was available for any
purpose, and as matter of fact did
not affect interest on the portions of
the borough improvements which went
against the borough as a whole. In
1917 we entered the World War, and
this raised financial problems which
no one could foresee. The policy of
the mayor and council had all along
been to carry along these portions of
the borough improvements which went
against the borough as whole, until
the inevitable result of the improve
ments in the form of construction of
new houses would make it possible to
