Bit of Palisadian's
History
BY CHARLES T. LOGAN

The birth of The Palisadian was in
the month of August, 1906, it's form
being eight pages, four columns. The
first issue was much appreciated. The
conception of The Palisadian was the
work of young boy who moved to
the village in 1905. In an issue of
early September, 1916, there was
printed the following:
''The following New Years, 1906,
the little chap was taken down with
scarlet fever, and the law required
complete isolation for him in one room
of his home, from which he never at
any moment emerged for sixty days.
1t was during the latter part of this
convalescence that the ambitious boy
planned The Palisade Press, little
three column, four page affair, the
ambition many boys have had before
After a visit to New Orleans, last
ing until May, he returned to Palisade,
only to find that the Palisade Post had
been born just as he was under his
own roof again. He was a bit down
cast over the usurper that had block
ed his way, and so all that summer his
aims sought new channels for the de-
velopment of his idea, and in a little
while The Palisadian first saw the
light in September, 1906.
"Thus the birth of The Palisadian
is briefly told. The boy was Charles
Thomas Logan, Jr., it's owner from the
outset. The planning and presenta-
tion of the little village newspaper
were done by his father, and the lat
ter, encouraging the boys taste and
tendency, thought to continue the
idea of village paper as bit of tute-
Iage for his son. The Palisadian's re-
ception was cordial from the start 1t
finally grew to what was really pre-
tentious publication. 1t made friends
and some enemies. Meanwhile the
boy was becoming newspaper man
by the process of absorption the while
he was at his studies at Horace Mann,
Barnard School and Columbia Univer-
sity"
In September, 1914, after eight years
as a four column paper and immedi-
ately following the demise of the Pal
isade Post of Grantwood, The Pali-
sadian was changed into a weekly,
six column paper and has remained

ups and downs, like almost all news
papers, but it has always clung to its
own high ideals in clean journalism.

DIR, HUNTER APPEARS
BEFORE COUNCIL BOARD
Says Assessment Com. Is Not to
Blame for Delay in PaIisade
Ave. Assessment.

pr. Charles Hunter appeared in per.
son before the Mayor and Council at
Fort Lee at their meeting on Wednes-
day night, and speaking for the AS.
sessment Commission, stated that the
figures and necessary data on the Pali-
sade avenue assessment had been in
the hands of the Council Board since
December 26, 1922, and the commits
sion was not to blame for the delay in
making the assessment.
Councilman Corker stated that he
felt the Council had been very dila.
tory in taking care of the matter, and
upon his motion the attorney was in
structed to draw up the papers to levy
the assessment. He also stated that
the interest on the money borrowed
for Palisade avenue amounted to
about $4,000 a year.
1t was voted to buy a fire engine
for Coytesville at a cost of SS,200
The attorney was appointed to rep
resent the borough in the case of the
Borough of Fort Lee VS.. Vitter. Mr..
Vitter has appealed his case.
Thomas Brannigan was given a per-
NIT to obtain water, but the permit is
for the opposite side of the street, so
the granting of it will not influence in
any sense the case the borough is now
fighting against him in the courts.

Want Direct Road
To Hackensack

There is an effort being made to
get a direct road from Edgewater to
Hackensack. The plan is to extend
Central boulevard and build bridge
across Overpeck creek.
A committee now known as the In
terborough Overpeck Road Commit
tee held meeting in Palisades Park
on Monday night to discuss the mat
ter and this same committee will pres
ent the proposition to the Bergen
County Board of Freeholders. 1t is
claimed the proposed highway would
shorten the distance to Hackensack
and would relieve the heavy traffic on
the state road.
The members of the committee are:
Messrs. Lozier, Walsh, Mrs. Smith
and Mayor Heder for Palisades Park;
Messrs. Rhodes, Paden, Sidman and
Mayor Hunter for Ridgefield Park;
Messrs. Kerwien, Schall and Carney
for Fort Lee. c. A. Sidman, from
Ridgefield Park is secretary. Joseph
Walsh is chairman.

ONE OF THREE TO Be
LEFT BEHIND ON TUES,
Primaries Next Week Excite
Little Interest in Fort Lee;
Review of Men.

AS far as the borough of Fort Lee
to be won or lost at the primary cleo
ton on next Tuesday
Three Republican candidates are
running and but two can secure the
nomination. Following is a word or
two regarding the three candidates
that will help you to decide what
your vote shall be:
Mr.. Wood is an architect, builder
and contractor, and also a real estate
operator, who was born in Fort Lee
and has many friends in the Borough
He is around 40 years of age, is a
successful busines man, director in
the Fort Lee Trust Company and very
highly esteemed by his many friends
He has not held office in the Borough
although he was once candidate for
councilman. He has most pleasing
personality and is most likeable
man. He would undoubtedly be big
asset to the Borough if he can be
elected. He is tax payer, also, and
has always shown the deepest interest
in the prosperity of Fort Lee.
George Kipp is plain spoken,
blunt, agreeable, forward going man,
who has been success. He also is an
architect and builder; also a contrac-
tor; a man of stamina and of the fin
est character. He has backbone and
must be shown before he casts a vote
en- anything where there is a question
mark. He is not Eyes" man. Mr..
Kipp has the courage of his convic-
tons and is not afraid. He is a tax
payer and he built and owns his home
on Hoyne street near School No. 1.
He prides himself upon being a pro-
gressive and is opposed to cliques in
politics. He is always in favor of a
measure if it is right and he believes
IN it against the party Mr. Kipp was
recording secretary of the Carpenters
Union for 6 years, where he made a
good record. He is a graduate of the
Fort Lee public schools. He is in
perfect accord and sympathy with Will
liam A. Brady's educational ideals on
the educational value of moving pic
lures. Mr.. Kipp, by the way, is him
self stage director of the Famous
Players-Lasky Corporation at Astoria,
Long Island, where he works daily at
the art of stage directing. He is in
close touch with William A. Brady all
the time. He is 35 years old and mar
ried.
Councilman Arthur Kerwein is also
a candidate for reelection on this
ticket. He has been a long time in
harness, was mayor one term and has
been in harness one way or another
for the past twenty years.
The other men on both the Repub-
lican and Democratic tickets have no
opposition and their nomination is
assured.

Charles T. Logan, Jr.-A Tribute
Sunday afternoon when through the
little community of Palisade flashed
the news of the passing of Charles T..
Logan, Jr.
With bowed heads, saddened hearts
and glistening tears we stood helpless
and awed in the presence of such a
tragedy! For he was beloved by all.
Not through conscious effort, but be-
cause he was so humanity kind, so sim
cere, so modest, so cheerful, and
withal so just and fearless, he had
won for himself the love and admira-
ton of all who knew him.
For the pleasure and benefit of 9th
ers he gave lavishly of his talents,
and in the most subtle ways inf1u-
enced the youth of the village toward
high ideals and fair play.
All life has been enriched because
he lived, and his worth will ever live
in the memory of his friends.
Truly, it is not by Time that the
value of mans life is measured.
MRS. ERNEST SIBLEY.
To the Loving Memory of Charles
Logan, Jr.
To one who was true friend in
deed my thoughts this day return.
Not only was his death a personal
loss, but because of his leadership and
good influence our little town is mi
nus one who can never be replaced.
Memories of our friendship will never
die. Sincerely,
GEORGE H. CKMANN.

Tool Shed Blaze
Quickly Mastered

The tool shed of Mr.. c. Richard, the
local builder, on Palisade and Marion
avenues was set on fire Tuesday eve
ming about half past ten. The origin
of the fire is known only through Mr..
Samuel Drucker, the Grantwood
tailor.
Mr. Drucker, who was homeward
bound from his tailoring establish
ment, was walking on Palisade avenue
near Wayne avenue when he saw a
blaze shoot heavenward from the
shack. Instinctively he ran to the
fire but before reaching it he was
nearly bowled over by the on-rushing
speed of four or five youths who made
for the shortcut in the woods be-
tween Wayne and Franklin avenues.
Drucker turned and followed in hot
pursuit, but was outdistanced by the
young fire-bugs who apparently are
the miscreants who have set the Sci
oil shacks ablaze.
By the time that Mr.. Drucker had
returned to the burning shack, Mr..
Rheden, the proprietor of the corner
ice cream store, had sent in an alarm
and the engines were heard in the dis
tance On their arrival the fire was
quickly extinguishd.
If it had not been for Mr.. Drucker
the origin of the fire would have been
unknown and it is therefor that he is
being congratulated by his many
friends in this section of the county.
Mr.. Richards wishes to thank the
firemen for their splendid work which
kept the fire from doing much damage.

Fiery Cross Appears
On the Palisades

A fiery cross of perhaps five foot
high with a cross bar of four feet was
burned on the Palisades, Tuesday eve
ming about nine o'clock. The cross
which was exhumed within a stones
throw of Wolpert's stand. was first
sighted by a Palisadian correspond
ent on the Edgewater ferry Jersey
bound. At first glance the blaze ap-
peared to be a brush fire in the max
ing, but in a few moments the cross
took its defined shape, standing out
majestically, with the stateliness of
the Palisade Cliffs for a background.
An investigation proved useless, but
it was probably Ku Klux Klan Kross

ADVANTAGES OF PALISADE.
Comparison of Our Splendid
Lacking Them.

Palisade is now only about
eighteen months old. Considering
the many disadvantages under
which it has labored, its record
may be considered remarkable.
Drawing its principal support
from New York City, it has had to
contend against many obstacles.
the chief one being the disinclina-
ton of people to surrender citizen

this may not be looked upon a.

any excuse at all in preventing
buyers in this locality, it has been,
nevertheless, an important factor
in keeping them back. Another
thing initiating against us has
been the prejudice against cor
poration greed in New Jersey. and
laws of the State which are sup
posed to be against the interests
of the taxpayer. 1t is ne easy
thing TO give up ones State, and
it is not an inviting prospect to
take up ones residence when
trust interests are supposed to
order the work, and where a sub
sidized press might dominate the
will of the people.
But both OF these things are
erroneous grounds on which to
base any objection to residence in
