P. 0. CONSOLIDATION
PLAN MAKES HEADWAY
Meeting Sunday Last Results in
Resolutions; GrantWood Wants
to Retain Present P. 0.

A meeting was held on last Sunday
afternoon in the firehouse at Fairview
to discuss the proposed plan for the
consolidation of the post offices of
Grantwood, Cliffside, Hudson Heights
and Fairview. The meeting was called
by Mr.. Foley, and the members of the
committees from Fairview and Cliff
side Park were present as well as sew
eral citizens from Grantwood
The gentlemen from Grantwood were
under the impression that under the
proposed plan their section would lose
its identity and the present post office
would be substituted with a contract
station. 1t was explained that there
was no attempt being made on the
part of Fairview, Cliffside and Hudson
Heights to take from Grantwood any
conveniences that it now enjoyed.
A committee was appointed to draw
UP resolution and send it to the de-
partment at Washington. The COM
mittee consists of S. N. Sears of
Grantwood, A. Schaefer of Fairview,
Alexander C. Marmet of Hudson
Heights and B. Duncan McClave of
Cliffside.
On motion by Mr.. Leeger, seconded
by Mr.. McClave, the following resolu-
tion was passed unanimously
At a meeting of citizens represent
ing postal districts embracing Grant
wood, Cliffside, Fairview and Hudson
Heights held on September 23 at Fair

plan might be suggested that would be
acceptable to all the people interested
as we'll as to the post office officials,
expressed themselves as follows:
Plan No. Free city delivery serv-
ice shall be granted Cliffside, Hud-
son Heights and Fairview.
Plan No. 2-That Grantwood be Civ

ed from the proposed consolidation

ed Signed by Alexander C. Marmet,
Seymour N. Sears, A. Schaefer, B.
Duncan McClave.
George Ebel, Jr., of Fairview acted
as secretary.
Mr.. Dietrich reported the meeting to
the mayor and council, stating that a
copy of the resolutions would be for
warded to them. No official action
was taken; but, judging from the dis
cussion that followed, the governing
body is ready and willing to approve
the resolutions as adopted.

Richard Bennett in
New Thought Idea
On Married Life

The New York World of Thursday
had the following interesting advanced
thought story about former resident
Of Palisade, Richard Bennett, the ia
nous actor:
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Bennett,
whose married life has been pointed
to for years as marvel of happiness
apart But they are not going to
separate and they expect their do.
nestle life to be more ideal than ever.
That is the way Mr.. Bennett ex-
planned it yesterday. He said that on
October l his wife and daughter, Con-
stance, eighteen, would go to live in
an apartment at No 126 East Fifty
fourth street, while he and Barbara,
seventeen, will move into a home at
No. 16S West Fiftyeighth street. The
family now occupies an apartment at
No. $50 Park avenue.
No Idea of Separation
"a separation is the furthest thing
from our minds" he said ''The whole
idea originated in the servant problem
we faced in keeping up large estab-
lishment. l decided that the best thing
to do was to divide the family"
Mr.. Bennett said he had made out
budgets for the two families" on a
1880 basis, because a man doesn't
need as much to live on as a woman"
There is to be a seperate budget for
Joan, thirteen, who will go to ST. Mar
garet's School, Waterbury, Conn.
Our agreement has one rule that
is ironclad," the actor declared. "We
are to have dinner together every
day"
He said his wife had entered into
the plan with zest but that the chill
dren were Mortified when the first
learned of it.
"What will people say?" they asked.
But now, Mr.. Bennett declares, they
are Gin love with the idea"
"My wife and | will be greater
sweethearts under this arrangement
than we have had a chance to be in
the last fifteen years." he prophesied.
"A lot of families would be better off
and the divorce calendars smaller if
others would follow our example. Too
many parents allow their children to
grow up selfish by wearing themselves
out to give them lot of things they
don't need and no esponsibilities.
| believe we are going to get away
from that"
Believes Homes Harmful
Mr.. Bennett said he believed the
world would be better off il children
we're raised by the state and their
parents were allowed to visit them
only once-in-a-while.
'tThere would be fewer worn-out,
nervous mothers" he said, "and less
boys and girls with a conceited idea
of their importance. There are too
many kids now who think it makes a
difference whether they live on PARK
avenue or Hester street.

Joint SEWER WOULD
COST ABOUT $4,000
Plan Being Considered; Letter
From Mrs. Harding; BARRIERS
Want Shops Closed
on Sundays.

The firm of McClave G. McClave,
through Mr.. B. Duncan McClave, made
report to the mayor and council of
Cliffside Park at their meeting last
Monday night and suggested a plan to
remedy the sewer condition in West
Grantwood by the construction of a
combination sewer by the boroughs of
Cliffside Park, Fort Lee and Palisades
Park. The estimate on the cost of the
project was approximately S65,0OO.
Mr. McClave stated that he felt this
would remedy the situation that exists
in this section permanently and was
the best solution to the problem that
has faced the borough for so long.
The matter was taken under advise
ment by the Council Board and will be
acted upon at a future meeting.
Councilman Dietrich made a report
relative to the progress made in con-
nection with the post Office consolida-
ton plan, which is taken up in detail
elsewhere in this issue.
A letter from Mrs. Warren G. Hard
ing was read expressing her apprecia-
tion of the resolutions bearing on the
Presidents death which were sent to
her from the local governing body
A petition from the Master BARRIERS
Association of Fairview and Cliffside
Park asked that an ordinance be
passed requiring the barber shops to
remain closed on Sundays. 1t was re-
ferred to the Law and Ordinance Com
mittee.
Councilman Meyer, chairman of the
Building Committe, reported applica-
tions for building permits represent
ing S150,350 worth of proposed new
buildings, and upon his recommends
tion the permits were granted.
Collector Post explained that the
new map which the engineer is pre-
pairing would not be ready for a
month or two, and he wanted permis-
sion to continue to make searches un-
der the agreement that the town
would assume the responsibility for
any mistakes due to the inaccuracies
of the records. He stated that at the
last council meeting he promised to
make as few searches as possible, but
because of the unexpected delay in OBJ
tanning the map he thought it advisa-
BILE to make the searches as they came
in and not let the work pile up. His
request was granted, and he was per-
mitted to issue searches that he per-
sonally and the engineer together felt
were all right.
