Club Reception to
Cliff. Park Faculty

A delightful introduction to the So
cial season of the borough was the
reception on Wednesday afternoon to
the returning faculty of the local
schools, especially for the new teach
ers.
The affair was given by the Wo-
mans Club of Cliffside Park in the
Cliffside Park High School corridor,
which looked most welcoming with
the large table in the centre, decorat-
ed with beautiful flowers in the vivid
autumn colorings and spread with
dainty cakes and delicious grape juice
punch.
Mrs. William Heaton, the club pres
ident, was assisted by the many club
members present in welcoming the
guests after they came in from the
special meeting called by Supervising
Principal Hall, and every one had a
most enjoyable time socially as they
were served with the refreshments.
Much appreciation was expressed by
them and some of the new teachers
said that already they felt at home
here, which was just what the Wo-
mans Club desired, and the informal
get together was felt to be very sue
cessful in establishing pleasant ac-
quaintance and friendly relations be-
tween mothers and teachers.

cut. There is no clue whatever on
how the ring disappeared, but there
had been a party in the house, making
a delivery, but no proof has been es-
tablished. The ring was the property

Fined for Ord
nance Violation

George Vetter the proprietor of the
garage and gasoline station opposite
the Palisade school on Anderson ave-
ltGe, will no doubt heed the warnings
of Building Inspector Creamer in the
future, for on last Friday night he
was summoned to appear before Re-
col der Ennis in Fort Lee, charged
with violation of the zoning ordinance
end building code, and fined.
The small building that he first oc-
cupied in this location was built prior
to the enactment of the zoning Ordi-
nance and on unrestricted property,
so he was within the law until he
started to erect garage that now
stands to the north of the old building.
He was warned by the inspector that
it was not lawful, but he proceeded
with the work despite the warning.
The Palisade improvement Associa-
ton took a hand in the matter and
held a special meeting on Monday
night of last week and they voted to
stand firmly back of the mayor and
council in any action brought against
Vetter.
This case establishes precedent
and will no doubt put to rout any
plans others have in mind for at
tempting to defy the law by erecting
gasoline stations in restricted areas.
1t is not known whether Vetter Will
appeal the case or not.

Mary Dioski Hit
By Auto Saturday

Mary Dioski of 253 Walker street,
Cliffside, was struck by a machine
driven by A. Russo of New York City
as she darted across Walker street on
Saturday afternoon last. She was
knocked down and suffered slight
bruises about the body.
She was picked up by passerby
and taken into the Red Cross Phar-
macy where she was treated by DR..
Hellstern and shortly afterward was
sent to ther home.
Russo finding the girl was not seri-
ously hurt gave his name and address
to a man who claimed to be connected
with the police department and went
to Edgewater en- route to New York.
When the Cliffside police were
notified they had no information other
than that given over the phone so
had the police in Edgewater stop the
car and return the driver to Cliffside.
Upon arriving he explained that he
had not attempted to elude the law
and inasmuch as the girls parents
pressed no charge against him he was
allowed to return to his home.
The accident of the week before
which resulted in the death of little
Rose Leone was fresh in the minds OF
the people and this second accident
caused much excitement.

BIG IMPROVEMENT FOR PALISADE:
SOUTHWEST CORNER OF JUNCTION
TO BEFlLLED IN AND PAVED SOON
Pass Ordinance at Council Meeting Wednesday Nights
Four Palsade Men on Committee of Ten to Revise
Zoning Ordinance

The Fort Lee mayor and council
met on Wednesday night and passed
the ordinance providing for the filling
in and paving of the street in front
and at the side of the new theatre
building on the southwest corner of
Palisade Junction.
A lively discussion preceded the
final passage and a Mr.. White of
Coytesville protested against the bor-
ough laying out that much money.
Representatives of the theatre corpo-
ration were present and told their rea-
sons for wishing the. work done in the
immediate future and explained fur
ther that their reason for offering to
pay the entire cost that would ordi-
narily fan on the borough was not due
to any philanthropic motives, but be-
cause it was business proposition.
Councilman Corker stated that he had
come to the meeting with the inten-
tion of fighting the ordinance to a
finish, but upon the explanation Of
fered, he saw that though very unu-
sual the borough was really going to
get something for nothing.
The ordinance provides for an ap-
preparation of $4,000 to do the work
which will be paid back to the bor-
ough in the course of ten years by as
'sessments on the property benefited
including the theatre corporation,
which will, of course, pay the largest
portion as we'll as the amount that
would ordinarily be borne by the bor-
ough at large.
Corker brought up the matter of as
'sessments on Palisade avenue and
was told by the clerk that he had not
received same from the commission
ers of assessments, whereupon he was
instructed to get in touch with them
and get the information as soon as
possible.
Plans have been made to revise the
Young ordinance and building code,
and ten men, including e. Sibley,
George Clark, Charles OF and Floyd
G. .Shaefer of Palisade, were appoint
ed on a committee to take a hand in
the work.
A MT. Vetter registered protest
against the exorbitant fares the buses
were charging the people of Fort Lee
to go to and from the ferry and asked
that something be done to make a
stipulated fare that they would be al
lowed to charge.
Councilman Kerwein, acting mayor,
explained that due to the fact that the
buses got most of their business only
an hour or two in the morning and at
night it would not be paying propo
sition unless they got from Is to 25
cents fare and to attempt to regulate
the fare would result in no buses to
serve the people.
Other business of little interest to
Palisade was transacted and the meet
ing adjourned at late hour.

JOSEPH WHELAN WITHDRAWS AS
The DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR
MAYOR; CAN'T SPARE THE Time
Big Surprise to the Public; No New Candidate Picked
Yet; Michaelsen Running for Council Board, Rouan
for Collector; Stein to Run as Independent

The citizens of Cliffside Park will
be surprised to learn that the Demo-
cratic candidate for mayor, Joseph
Whelan, has withdrawn from the race.
In statement to the Palisadian
representative Mr.. Whelan said: 81
am Withdrawing as a candidate for
the office of mayor of Cliffside Park
out of sense of fairness to the peo-
pie, for if | were elected l could not
fill the Office properly without sacr-
f1cing more time than l can spare
from my own business"
The Democrats are at liberty to
nominate another man within a few
days, but it is not known at this writ
ing who it will be-
Another candidate for councilman
on the Democratic ticket who was not
announced in last weeks issue is
William J. Michaelsen, proprietor of
the Grantwood Garage, on Anderson
avenue.
The Democratic candidate for col
lector is John ]. Rouan of Cliffside.
c. M. Stein has withdrawn and will
not seek the Republican nomination
against Post for collector, but intends
running as an Independent candidate.
Mr.. Sears and Mr.. Elmendorf of the
Third district will battle at the prima-
ries for a place on the Republican
County Committee, and other candi-
| dates for the county committee will
be elected without opposition. They
are Bessie Wood in the Third dis
trlct; Lucy Madden, in the Fourth dis
trict, and Fred Dyer in the Fifth dis
trict.
Whelan's withdrawal has presented,
to say the least, an exciting situation,
and it is rumored that Joseph Marini
may be offered the Democratic nomi-
nation, but it is another case of "only
time can tell"
There are a comparatively large
number Of county candidates as fol-
lows:

THIEF ESCAPES after
R0BB|NG V0EGELI HOME
Miller Sears Hears Crash of
Glass and Gives Chase; Adds
to Daylight Robbery Total.

The home of Paul Voegeli, on Co.
lumbla avenue, was entered and rob.
bed on last Sunday afternoon, but the
thief got only about $50 worth of
JeWelry as the family had placed
most of their valuables in safe de.
posit vault in the bank before leaving
on an auto trip.
About. $3.50 on Sunday afternoon
Miller. Sears, son of Seymore Sears,
who lives nearby, heard a crash of
glass which he paid no attention to
at first, but shortly afterward won
dered if it were not at the Voegeli
home, so made an investigation, know
ing they were away. 1t was not long
before another crash was heard and
a man darted from the house into the
woods near the Cliff and disappeared.
Miller, together with some other
neighbors, gave chase, but were un-
able to overtake the intruder. The
police were notified and given a good
description of the man, whom they
are now looking for.
The Voegeli family returned on
Sunday night and made an examina-
tion of the house which disclosed the
fact that some children's jewelry, a
few trinkets and one of Mr. Voegeli's
silk shirts was gone.
1t was found that the key of the
back door was broken in the lock and
the thief made his exit by breaking a
window in the back. He must have
cut himself badly, for there was blood
on the kitchen and porch floor and
in the vicinity towel was found
which, Judging from the blood stains,
was used to stop the flow of blood
from his injuries.

Heavy Trucks Go In
Bluff Road Anyhow

Notwithstanding the fact that a
large sign has been placed at Ander-
son avenue and Bluff road, mo
HEAVY TRUCKING ALLOWED" the
fact remains that not since Palisade
was born has there been anything
like the heavy trucking that passed
through that important and most CEN
trail village thoroughfare since last
Saturday. The trucks were laden
with some sort Of heavy building iron,
and must have weighed from fifteen
to twenty or more tons each. There
was not soul to interfere with them.
"2S Fort Lee" is Police Headquar-
ters in Fort Lee and Palisadian re-
porter called them up to know why
the big trucks were allowed to drive
in that roadway.
81 haven't heard anything about it, "
was the reply.
The officer at the other end was
told that a sign had been posted at
Anderson avenue, saying no heavy
trucking allowed. He then asked,
SIS there sign up at Palisade ave-
nue?"
But the reporter could not answer.
"Well," replied the officer in charge,
81 guess that is the answer"
He could not tell why no sign had
been posted at Palisade avenue.
And so all day the trucks continued
their laborious trips through Bluff
road, and the noise they made was
enough to make the most boisterous
street in Noisy New York ashamed of
itself. Will Councilman Schall kind
ly give this matter his personal atten-
ton? 1t is to be hoped that the sign
at Anderson avenue means what 1t
says, otherwise the whole thing is a
tempest in a teapot, so far as forbid
ding heavy trucking is concerned!
