Arcadian Way Open
To Auto Traffic

The windup of the Arcadian way
end of Route No. 10 was reached on
Thursday when the beautiful little
stretch was thrown open to the pub
lie at ten o'clock and away the cars
went both ways Forty feet wide the
roadway is, and. the handsomest road
in the entire state. 1t reaches, from
Palisade avenue to the top of the hill
near the Quinn home, connecting there
with the road down the Palisades
At Palisade avenue the curve con-
Meeting with Palisade avenue is fin
ished on the north side of the road,
the south fork being left for compile
ton this week if it is possible. The
western end of this fine stretch makes
wonderful little plaza, and triangle
offering fine opportunity for pretty
little park with shrubbery. Traffic
will now be completely untrammelled
at that point and it is an exceptionally
fine job. There is just one fault to be
found, and it is a serious one From
the Quinn home to the main highway
at the top of the hill there is no side
walk on Arcadian way. Just why the
engineers chose to leave this undOne
is inexpIicable, because by shifting
the road at that point few feet
north provision could have been made
for the Quinn sidewalk. 1t is not too
late and the matter should have at
tention mediately.

Car Sheds Burned
At Marion Avenue

A lively little blaze took place last
Saturday afternoon in Palisade. Some
one set fire to the leaves near the
electric car sheds over the trolley
tracks at the end of Marion avenue,
and before the fire departments of
Cliffside and Fort Lee could get to
work, the sheds were almost ruined.
The damage was easily over $1,000.
A summer refreshment stand was also
burned.
One of the Fort Lee auto engines
trying to find the fires location, left

and raced to the Junction, only to be
blocked by the walls across the

9 Year Old Girl Hit
By Speeding Auto

Adilade LieberlNan, a nine year old
auto driven by Miss Edna G. Mac
Clatchey, of 73. West Fiftieth street,
New York, at the corner of Jerome
avenue and Main street in Fort Lee
at 12.45 p. m. on Tuesday last
The little girl lives with her par
ents in Ferrando's fiat on Main street,
Fort Lee, and was returning home
from school when in about the center
of the street she was struck by the
car, which, those who saw the acci-
dent state, gave no warning signal
The car was travelling at high speed.
The victim was picked up in an un-
conscious condition by stranger
who withheld his name and rushed to
the home of DR.. Crandall nearby
where she was treated by Doctors
Crandall and Cennor.
Being noon-time there were many
persons on the street and crowd
soon gathered only to be shocked by
the rumor that the child was dead.
However her injuries though serious
Will not prove fatal. The left side
of the face and scalp were bruised,
one tooth knocked out, with slight
concussion of the brain.
The car was an Essex coach and
bore New York license number
724637 with the initials K M M on
the door. Two things at least will
serve as evidence of the fact that the
driver was travelling at a dangerous
rate of speed: First, the left mud
guard was bent by the force of the
contact with the child's body; second,
the car was not brought to a stop
until it had travelled full block past
the spot where the accident took
place.
Miss MacClatchey was released on
bail and will appear before Recorder
EMS December 5.

At one time she appears TO be
naive, lisping school girl, gushing
about social entertainments and
events, her voice registering finely
modulated pitch and charm. Elegance,
culture. wealth, and position are dis
closed during the domination of this
personality, which is more than half
the time.
Suddenly the pleasant smile turns
to hard sneer, and the pleasing voice
veers to the raucous, high-pitched
shHek of the street slattern. This per-
sonality raves Of the theater and
vaudeville, In which she tells of hav-

PASSENGER AND TRAFFIC TUBES TO
CROSS HUDSON TO BERGEN FROM
125TH ST, BIC VALUE TO COUNTY

Pretty nearly all Bergen county is
wrought up over the prospects of get
ting a traffic tunnel to New York via
One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street
This enterprise has been in process
of development for more than two
years. About two years ago the Har-
lem Board of Trade gave big noon
day luncheon at which the whole
work was presented, since which time
committees have been working out
plans till now everything is about
ready to start the great work with
imposing ceremonies. From reports
in this weeks Hackensack papers,
Bergen is paying great stock. in store
over the tunnel, and it is predicted
that property over the Eastern end of
the county will treble in value. There
are those in Palisade who think this
estimate is low, for the benefit is
bound to be great. On this thought
the Record points out:
This is based on the relative value
of real estate in Westchester County,
just across the Hudson, compared
with that of Bergen County values,
the only difference being that West
chester County has for years enjoyed
rapid transit, both passenger and ve-
hicular, such as it is now proposed to
give Bergen. These facilities will
bring thousands of people from the
great Metropolitan district of New
York, where rents are excessive and
constantly going higher, to live in
New Jersey. What this will mean to
Bergen County banking and business
in general cannot be overestimated.

office of j. w. Binder who is one of

Loses Eye in Auto
Smash on Bluff Rd.

Bluff road and Arcadian way was
the scene of an auto accident last
Saturday night when a car driven by
Thomas S. Roman of 422 Broad ave-
nue., Leonia. collided with Ford
sedan driven by Leslie Cobbs, col
ored man from Englewood
Mr.. and Mrs. Roman and their
daughter Helen, aged sixteen years,
and son Thomas, aged ten years, were
travelling west in Bluff road while the
car with which they collided was
headed east carrying besides its driver
Clarence Britt also of Englewood.
The crash was heard by Mr.. and Mrs.
John Hodgins, who live near, and they
Immediately reported the mishap to
the Fort Lee police station. Oficer
Schlupp hurried to the scene and
rushed the two colored men to the
Englewood Hospital, where it was
found they both suffered severe cuts
about the head and, Britt lost the
sight of one eye. 1t seems that both
of the mems heads were forced
through the windshield of the car and
the flying class caused the injuries. The
occupants of the Romans car escaped
without injury, though Mrs. Roman
was treated by doctor as result of
the shock. Both cars were badly
damaged.
Mr.. Roman has charged the driver
of the Ford sedan with reckless driv-
ing and the case will come up before

Three Day Kerrniss
Was Grand Success

The Thanksgiving Kermiss given by
the Epiphany Circle on Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday of the past week
was fine success. Large crowds
found their way into Epiphany Hall
especially in the evenings.
The Kermiss was somewhat differ
ent from most baZaars. The difference
in presenting a feature each evening
resulted in a keen interest being
aroused in the guests. And it was
this interest and cooperation that
gave the women a chance 70 place
the event in the church history as a
commendable success.
Monday evening, the opening night
drew many people. Euchre was the
main event of that evening. Several
hundred euchre players were present
for the occasion. The purse of the
affair was given good start by the
business done Monday evening.
Tuesday evening was the crowning
epic of the Kermiss. This, children's
night, drew both young and old. All
those who visited Epiphany Hall were
repaid a thousand fold by the truly
wonderful exhibition rendered that
night.
The feature went over big; just as
anticipated by those in the know, who
knew what the Junior Follies OF
1929 constituted. The success OF the
evenings feature hinged upon the un-
tiring efforts of the Rosar Sisters.
These young ladies put over a propo-
sition that big time producers would
envy. They had trained over nifty
small kiddies to put on wonderful
show. The manner in which they
succeeded in training the miniature
but talented youngsters is worth all
kinds of praise. The youngsters led
by the brilliant little dancer, Lois
Geitzenauer, gave an exhibition tha'
mada1a decided hit.

Another Suicide
On the Palisades

On last week Friday afternoon sew
eral people in Palisade spoke of see
ling suspicious looking character,
lbut no one took the trouble to report
the matter to the Fort Lee police.
At 1:45 on Saturday afternoon P.
L. Shaffer of the Cutler School, New
York City, and Albert Genantoni of
Jersey street, Cliffside, discovered
this mans body hanging on tree
near Palisade avenue, south of John
J. McGary's crusher, half way to Fort
Lee. There was a heavy wire cable
around his neck and no doubt about
it being a case of suicide.
This discovery was reported to the
Fort Lee police, who placed the body
in the morgue for examination.
The dead man was about forty-fve
years old, 6 feet 1 inch taal, and
weighed ITO pounds. On his right
arm was tattoed the form of a
woman. He was clean shaven, had
brown hair was partly bald, and was
clad in short coat lined with sheep
skin, blue serge suit army checked
cap, gray socks, black khaki shirt,
black and white laced shoes, and
heavy white underwear.
The contents of his pockets con-
sisted of a five-cent piece and slip
of paper bearing the name of "P. c..

Raid Little Club,
But Find Nothing

Three prohibition enforcement
agents took occasion to raid the Little
Club, Lafayette avenue, Grantwood,
Monday evening. Their hopes to find
anything did not materialize. And, if
these law enforcers were in theshope
of having something warm them up
before departing into the cold of the
night, it was not the fault of the hos
pitable president. N. F. Mahoney, and
other officers of the club, that they
left without getting warmed up.
These young men did their best to
warm the officers of the law. Elec-
trio heaters, hot coffee and tea were
offered them. But they were not con-
tent until they had searched the club,
only not to find that which they were
seeking.

Nothing Doing
On the Moose Club

The Moose Club case still lags
along without settlement. 1t seems
that the special borough attorney has
not as yet been able to gather all the
details required to push the case.
A large number of Cliffside Park
citizens was present at the recorders
court Tuesday evening. From what
most of them voiced, the reporter
could tell that they were anxious to
hear the case.
Anyhow, the borough at large has
quieted down somewhat on the situa-
ton, and all the indications point that
some weeks will pass before real
action is started-if any is at all!
