BUS QUESTION TO Be
THRASHED OUT AGAIN
Buses or no BuSes-That Is the
QueSti0n-TO Consider
Next Meeting.

Once again the bus question is up
before the mayor ana council.
On last Tuesday night at the recess
meeting of the mayor and council of
Cliffside Park Mr.. Noon, employee of
the Hillside bus line, appeared in per-
son, together with the new president
OF the corporation, and made a plea
| for reasonable license fee in the
| borough and permission to give the
people of this borough bus service.
The men from the bus company admit
ted the negligence on the part of the
former management when at one time
they were given an opportunity to run
providing they gave the people service
not only in the summer while the park
was open, but during the other months
as well, and that they deposit $50 on
each bus operated as a guarantee.
They seemed willing to reimburse the
borough for any past expense they
had put them to and only asked that
the ridiculous" license fee of $3.50 be
done away with. They explained the
methods adopted by nearby towns in
regard to buses and the fees charged,
which varied from $40 to S25.
The mayor in reply to the gentle
men condemned the action Cliffside
Park borough had taken in regard to
buses and frankly said his personal
opinion was they should be allowed to
operate in competition with the Pub
lie Service Company, which, he said,
is getting one of the highest rates of
fare in the United States, yet the peO-
pie of Cliffside Park are forced to pay
it because they have no bus accommo-
dation. He also remarked about the
buses which run through the borough
and are allowed to do so because they
run on state or county roads, and the
people have to put up with the bus
nuisance and yet don't get bus service.
In reply to the mayors argument
relative to competition Councilman
Siegrist read portion of President
Harding's address relative to the sup
planting of rail freight by motor
freight, which strongly supported the
railways. Mr.. Siegrist also pointed
out the fact that the buses used the
borough's highways, for which they
pay nothing as far as repair is con-
cerned, and stated that in the case of

SHELL SHOCKED WAR
VETERAN A SUICIDE
Body Found Near PaIisade Ave-;
Identified by Brother-in-LaW.

The dead body of Howard J. Asher,
a suicide, of 343 West Eighty-seventh
street, New York City, was found in
a clump of bushes at $40 p. m. on

feet south of the Christian Orphans
Home in Fort Lee, by James B. Castle
of New York.
Castle was en- route to the Edge

ed from the road into the woods,
where he discovered the body with a
hole in the right side of the head made
by gun lying nearby.
The police were notified and the
body was removed to McNally' S
morgue and later identified by the
dead mans brother-in-law, C. ]. Viii.

Auto Accident
In Front of Bank

There was an auto accident in front
of the Cliffside National Bank on
Sunday last, which resulted in the
slight damage of two cars, but no ia
talities.
A car driven by Mr.. Adams, who
lives over the bank, made a turn to
drive into the yard. To avoid hitting
him, Mr.. Healy of Union Hill in a
car about 10 TT. behind drove up on to
the sidewalk and into the fence, DAM
aging his right mudguard, and to
avoid being hit Mr.. Adams turned
sharply to the left and damaged his
left fender. He preferred charges of
reckless driving against Healy, and
when the case came up on Tuesday
night last it was ruled out by Judge
Kenny, who stated it was matter to
be settled in the civil courts.

who is quite talented as an enter

esting program.

solo which was received with much
applause.
After the entertainment the deLuX

Notes Regarding
The Public Service

In order to conform to general
standard of color in gas holders adopt
ed by all gas comapnies in the metro
politan area, Public Service Gas Com
pany will hereafter have it's holders
painted a light brown instead of the
present red and black. The first hold
ers to be repainted are the North
Park street holder in Orange and the
one in Bayonne. Altogether about
thirty holders in Public Service Com
pany will be done over. It is reasoned
that lower visibility will be obtained
from the light brown.
Sixty miles, or about $500 tons, OF
new gas pipe have been ordered by
Public Service Gas Company for de-
livery Aug. 1. This supply will be
turned over to the Distribution De.
partment, so that there be no delay
in laying new mains in those districts
where new or increased service is de-
manded. The mains will be four, six
and eight inch.

Henry Lueders Has
Small Court Case

Henry Leuders got into a little
scrape last week, but it did not
amount to much. 1t seems that a
fellow of the name of Kruger from
Union Hill approached Henry in the
store about past due account and
in some way offended the young
butcher, who ordered him out of the
store. Kruger's delicate sensibilities
were enraged, and he made charges
against the local swain of something
or other. In dealing with the case,
Judge Kenny gave some fatherly ad-
vice and dismissed the case. 1t is
not known whether they kissed and
made up or not.

II Fear Me Greatly"
This Is Some Hurnor

Don Marquis in ''The Lantern" New
York Tribune
That! for Such Threats
Sir: Not content with evading ION
behalf of your Presidential candidate,
Aunt Prudence Hecklebury) the domi-
nant Whiskers issue, you have sought
to divert the public mind from the
true significance of the question by
the publication of a letter, signed by
one Adam Pfuhler, in which an at
tempt is made to establish connec
ton between Whiskers and Futility.
The Great American People, as you
and Miss Hecklebury will learn to
your sorrow, are not afraid of Futility,
but only of immortality. Your refusal
to come out openly against Whiskers
as an immoral institution will cost
your candidate the election unless
you see the light in time to line up
with the forces of Righteousness in
the forthcoming battle.
We never threaten but if the Heck
lebury platform does not contain an
Administers Plank, your secret con-
nection with the Coughdrop Traffic
will be ruthlessly exposed.
Very truly yours,
J.CLARKSON MILLER,
State Superintendent Administers
League.
When this letter was shown to Aunt
Prudence Hecklebury she did not hesi-
tate an instant. Tell him." she said,
ito expose your connection with the
Coughdrop Traffic if he chooses to-,
but that he cannot intimidate mel"
AS for the Whiskers Issue being
dominant, or even righteous, we deny
it.
And with regard to the Coughdrop
Traffic, why does our correspondent
say, with an attempt at sinister sig
nificance, secret? Have we ever
denied our connection with the Cough
drop Traffic?
We might have known that when
we went into active politics, as an ex-
ponent of the Better Life, we would
expose ourselves to attacks of this
sort. 1t is the price that we reform
ers always pay.
Our correspondent may say any
thing he pleases about the Coughdrop
Traffic. We have nothing to conceal.
We welcome investigation. But will
he also tell all the events which pre-
ceded his election to the Office he now
holds in the Administers League?
We have received the following let
ter:
Sir: You are asking us to vote for
Prudence Hecklebury, but we know
very little about her only what you
have told us. We must know more
about her before we can vote intelli

Americans try to do. We never

Having only a few shallow closet,
in the bed rooms, everything from q

In a bungalow apron, dust cap and

felt "all gone" had fried 'rself two

from the sitting paint; and Anna, de-
priyed of her usual from two-to-four
leisure, grew more and more sulky.
