Judge Seufert At It
Again-Witness This

"The state might just as we'll have
put million dollars in the fire and
burnt it up when it decided to build
that Route No 10 from the Edgewater
ferry to Paterson, by way of Palisade,
Morsemere, Ridgefield, Little Ferry
and Hackensack," remarked Judge
William M. Seufert to representa-
tive of the Bergen Evening Record a
few moments before he appeared be-
fore the State Highway Commission
in the Bergen County Freeholders'
room on Wednesday.
The hearing was called to hear
opinions pro and con on the taking
over of the state of that part of Syl-
van avenue, running thence along the
Palisades north of Palisade avenue,
Englewood, to Alpine, where it will
connect up with the planned Albany
highway.
Judge Seufert rather surprised the
Highway Commissioners when he
urged that instead of completing the
work on Route No. 10 that portion
running down the western slope Of
the Palisades from Anderson avenue
in Palisade to Morsemere-the money
for the improvement be used in i'm
proving Palisade avenue north
through Fort Lee and Coytesville, to
Palisadian., 1923-06-29

connect up with Sylvan avenue.
THAT is quite a novel idea," re-
marked Commissioner Kidde, but it
brought prompt objection from Di-
rector A. q. Bogert, Of the Bergen
County Board of Freeholders.
eve must finish that work on Route
No. 10, for it is part of the route that
we expect to relieve the congestion
from the Edgewater ferry" said Mr..
Bogert. Another thing, Bergen and
Passaic counties, and the state, are
building new bridge over the Pas
sale river at considerable expense,
which is part of the program connect
ed with Route No. TO-"
81 never could understand why this
route was suggested or laid out, un.
less it was to give the contractors
something to do" said Judge Seufert.
First it was planned to cut right
through a narrow street in the heart
of Palisade, an exclusive residential
section. Then that plan was changed
and the route goes farther north, cuts
around the village and comes back
again to connect with the road down
the hill.
"Its a safe bet that once autoists
reach the top of the Palisades from
the ferry they will turn north and
continue along Palisade avenue to
Fort Lee and then gol on through
Leonia to Hackensack instead Of the
roundabout way to Morsemere and
Little Ferry.
'In my opinion Route No. 10 is fully
two miles farther from the ferry to
,Hackensack than the old way, and
can't see where the county or state
has benefited in the least for an ex-
penditure of million dollars"
1t may have appeared as novel
idea," as Commissioner Kidde ex-
pressed it, but Judge Seufert was
most serious when he asked that the
money to be expended on finishing
Route No. 10, be transferred for what
he considered a better purpose.
While the suggestion of the judge
may not receive any serious consider
alton from the State Highway Com
mission, he succeeded in getting the
much discussed matter out of his sys-
tenn, and expressed the opinion of
great many other persons in the
county.
Work on Route No. 10 was started
about three years ago, and 1t will not
be opened for operation or use for at
least another year.-HackensackR Rec

Congregational chiIdren's Sunday

A we'll attended service was that

gational Church of Grantwood, and
the building looked very pretty with
it's flower decorations. There was an
arch of leaves and branches over the
pulpit, and song birds were an at
tractive addition.
The whole affair was arranged by
the young people with Miss Char

The program presented by the Sun
day school pupils was we'll done and
interesting.
A feature of the program was the
presentation of fifty dollars to the

in fulfillment of it's pledge for the

ILL.,. POST APPOINTED
OFFICIAL SEARCHER
Garbage Collector Instructed to
Live Up to Contract; Patrol
men Appointed.

At the meeting Of the mayor and
council of Cliffside Park on Monday
night last the matter of tax searches
was again brought to the attention OF
the council by Mr.. Sammis, president
of the Cliffside Title Insurance Com
pany. He asked that an official tax
searcher be appointed at once, so the
searches that are made will have a
guarantee behind them that will pro-
tect the title insurance companies.
Mr.. Post, the collector, was called
before the board and stated that about
forty searches would be ready in for
ty-eight hours, and there were about
thirty more to be made. He called
attention to clause in the law that
made it legal for title insurance
company to consider that piece of
property was free from all liens If the
search was not completed in fifteen
days. He further said that it was a
physical impossibility to make a
search in that time in the present
mixed up condition of affairs, but said
within month or two they would be
able to make a search in fifteen min
utes. He suggested that it might be
we'll not to appoint an official searcher
until the records are in better shape.
Mr.. Sammis insisted that it was the
duty of the council to make the ap-
pointment according to law, and the
mayor questioned whether or not it
wouldn't be just as we'll to wait, as
Mr.. Post suggested, and called atten-
been an official searcher and month
or two wouldn't make a whole lot of
difference.
Both Mr.. Marini and Mr.. Siegrist
saw no disadvantage to appointing an
official searcher providing the title
companies would give reasonable as
surance that they would not take ad-
vantage of the fifteen day clause.
Mr. Sammis, speaking for his own
company, said they would not. Later
in the evening upon the recommends
ton of Councilman Marini, Mayor
Cadien appointed Mr.. Post official tax
searcher.

Mr.. Sammis again brought up the
condition of the Edgewater Heights
roads and was given assurance by
Councilman Meyer that they would be
taken care of in the immediate future.
Councilman Dietrich reported that
the garbage contractor was not living
up to his contract and was making
only four collections week instead
of six, also that his drivers had made
charges to some people for the re-
moval of certain refuse. Councilman
Schweitzer stated that he didn't call
at a regular time and sometimes came
before 6 in the morning. The collec-
tor was warned that he must comply
with the contract.
John Gruly, H. Jacobs and William
Eisperg were appointed as regular pa
trolmen.

all states departments for the first
six months of the biennium.
The report places the total ex-

office for the first quarter to be
S6,0O9.14 This sum is the lowest
since he has occupied his office, each
year finding a substantial reduction
in cost to the people.
The total expenditures of this Of
flee for the corresponding period of
the year 1921 were sS,959.73 and for
the year 1922, s6,351.30.
The earnings of the office for the
first quarter were $41,436.0S; for
the month of July $S.127.47 and for

pathetic story of an aged couple
who invested and lost $4,000 in

they had in the world and all of their

broker who promised to make them
millionaires.

sharks absolutely without mercy,

they can get something for nothing
