SPECIAL MEETING TO
ACT ON MOVIE LAW
Ordinance Laid Over to March
5; Want More Street Lights
in West GrantWood.

Rev. Gozzo and Mr.. Kaplan of Cliff
side were present at the meeting of
the Cliffside Park mayor and council
on Monday night last to ask that the
motion picture ordinance be continued
on its first reading to permit more
time for further consideration.
1t is the opinion of Rev Gozzo that
the ordinance is entirely to drastic
for a town of this size and it's passage
would prevent the use of motion pic
ture machines in churches or private
homes. Mr.. Kaplan is the owner of
the Palisade Theatre in Cliffside, and
he wants to examine the ordinance
very carefully before further action is
taken.
Councilman Dietrich said he felt the
7 fordinance should be passed because
the lives of hundreds of persons who
are nightly attending motion picture
performances in the borough are being
jeopardized.
Councilman Schweitzer was Of the
opinion that two more weeks would
not make a great deal of difference
and it was voted to lay it over. A
special meeting will be held on
Wednesday night, March 5. to take
final action on the proposed law and
everyone interested should be present
at this meeting
The councils attention was called
to the fact that street lights are need
ed in West Grantwood on Lafayette
avenue, also on DeSoto place. This
matter was referred to the proper
| committee.
The fire and water committee re-
ported that at least fourteen new
hyrants are needed in the borough and
final action will be taken at a later
meeting.
Councilman Dietrich stated that he
felt there should be a firehouse in
Grantwood.
Attorney Agnew reported that John
Diehl of Anderson avenue was sueing
the borough and the attorney was au-
thorized to defend the borough in the
courts.
| The third reading and final passage
of the ordinance providing for the i'm
provement of Gorge road, at a cost
of $4,000. by the issuance of tenn
porary bonds. was approved, bids for
the work to be received by March a.
1t was agreed to advertise for bids
for the improvement of Cliff street, ac-
cording to the ordinance previously
approved, bids to be received on
March 10.
Mayor Marini's appointment of Carl
Wright as auditor of the borough,
was approved, as was the appoint.

CL|FFSIDE CHILD NOT
HURT IN 3-STORY FALL
Was Leaning Out of Window
When Safety Cord Broke;
Miraculous Escape.

Little four-year-old Lillian O'Leary,
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael
O'Leary, of 32S Palisade avenue, Cliff
side, had miraculous escape from
death or serious injury when she fell
three stories from the rear window of
her home on Sunday last and only
sustained few bruises.
The little girl was playing in the
rear room of her parents apartment
on the third floor and childlike leaned
out of the window which was pro-
tected by safety cord. The cord
snapped and the youngster fell to the
ground, but luckily landed in a deep
snow drift, which was soft enough to
break the force of the fall.
DR.. Hellstern was summoned by the
police, and after few moments of
breathless suspense on the part of
the parents announced that the child
was unhurt except for a few minor
bruises.

New Plan Being
Considered for
P. O. Consolidation

1t is understood the postal authori-
ties are at present working ON a new
plan to effect the consolidation of the
post offices of Hudson Heights, Fair
view, Cliffside and Grantwood.
B. Duncan McClave in a statement
to the public press in the early part
of the week indicated that he knew
what the new plan was going to be
and expressed the opinion that it
would be satisfactory to all concern
ed. He added that Grantwood would
have time to think the matter over
after the plan was made known.
1t is believed that Mr.. McClave was
instrumental in drawing up the plan
and submitted it to the post office de-
partment for their consideration and
approval.

Boroughs Similar

These figures would not mean
much as comparison if the two bor-
oughs were not so much alike. The
conditions of life, the standards of
living, the location, the condition of
the ground (rock RIBBED, the popu-
lation, the acreage, the assessed valu-
alton are just about the same, yet it
costs more, much more to run the
government of Fort Lee. Why?
cliffside Park Better Off
Not only is the cost of government
far lower in Cliffside Park but the
borough Is much better of in every
way than Fort Lee. There is hardly
a place in Cliffside Park that has no
sewer facilities, water facilities or the
like, yet there are many places in
Fort Lee without these modern and
necessary conveniences.
All boroughs are permitted to bor-
row money up to and including 7 per
cent of the assessed valuation of prop
erty to finance improvements. Cliff
side Park is indebted only to the ex-
tent Of 4 per cent of the possible Z
per cent, while Fort Lees debt equals
6.81 per cent. Cliffside Park today
may borrow $12O,OO0 more and stay
within her limit. Literally assuming
the assessed valuation of Fort Lee to
be S6,580,600 she can borrow but $12,-
$50 and stay within the debt limit.
Where the Money Goes
1t is true that the general operat-
ing expense of practically every de-
partment in Fort Lee is higher than
that of Cliffside Park. For example
the general government and building
and grounds cost in Fort Lee is 81 900
higher than in Cliffside Park, the re-
moval of ashes and garbage is s2,100
higher, street lighting is $3.50
higher. The Fort Lee budget has a
contingent item of $4,000 that is alb
sent from the budget of Cliffside Park.
The big item, however, is the pay
ment of interest in money borrowed
through bonds, notes, etc. In 1924
Cliffside Park will pay but $23,SOO in
interest and $12,092.27 toward the
cancellation of debt, while Fort Lee
will pay S60,S12.05 in interest (nearly
three times as much) and $22,654.27
toward the cancellation of debts. In
1923 Cliffside Park cleaned up def
cit of a17,S5174, which was drain
on her finances which Fort Lee did
not have save a comparatively small
amount of $500. Cliffside Park is
crossing off her books this year $500
in cancelled assessments, while Fort
Lee is crippled as far as loss of rev.
enue from assessments levied only
$2,12S.30. In fairness it should be
stated that there are several depart
ments where the amount expended by
Fort Lee is about the same or a trifle
less than Cliffside Park.
Salaries
The salaries paid the employees of
the borough in Fort Lee are material
ly higher than those of her neighbor
and in several cases there are Offices
with salary attached in Fort Lee
that are considered unnecessary for
the efficient conduct of borough af-
fairs in Cliffside Park The salaries:

OUTSTANDING SOCIAL
EVENT OF SEASON
Was the Washington's Birthday
Costume Party at Braddon
Home on Friday Night.

What may well be counted as one
Of the most brilliant social events in
the history of the borough was the
costume party on Washington's Birth
day, given under the auspices of the
Literature Department of the Cliffside
Park Woman's Club in the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. D. Braddon.
The spacious home overlooking the
Hudson, on Grant avenue, was dec
Grated with large American flags in
honor of the day, and the incoming
guests were greeted by the hostess in
beautiful Martha Washington cos
tune of silk, with an appropriate coif-
fure of white hair, assisted by Mr.
Braddon and their three sons, Mr.. Ed
ward, in a stunning silk and velvet
colonial costume; Mr.. George, in the
crimson velvet and white silk of Co
lonial days, and Fred, as a Spanish
cavalier of the olden time.
Nearly all the guests were in cos
tune or represented books in some
way, and the occasion brought forth
not only ingeniously contrived cos
tunes, but revealed some old heir
looms of interest and some rare old
laces.
The attendance was very large, over
seventy people being present. The
book guessing contest furnished very
interesting pastime and many of the
books were cleverly portrayed.
The prizes, two books of interest,
were finally awarded to Miss Anna
Randall and Master Fred Braddon re-
spectively for the most correct lists.
Mrs. F. Banville then sang two old
fashioned songs, "Annie Laurie" ana
the Last Rose of Summer" in a most
charming manner, accompanied by
Miss Nancy Bowman at the piano.
An interlude at ten o'clock allowed
every one to hear the Washington's
Birthday address by President Cool
idge over the radio from the Brad
dons' fine loud speaker.
Mr.. and Mrs. Leroy Bulge of Pali-
sade then entertained the guests with
three of their dances, accompanied in
one by Mrs. j. c. VOsburgh, in the
others by the phonograph, and de-
lighted every one with the beauty of
their steps, their grace and ease.
Just after the refreshments were
served by the committee, of which
Mrs. F. Boas was chairman, with Mrs.
Heaton, Mrs Banville, and Mrs. Ben
da, aided by others, the dramatic
sketch of two scenes from Mrs. Wiggs
of the Cabbage Patch" was presented,
with introduction read by Mrs. Heaton,
president of the club, the picturesque
ladies of olden days suddenly chang
ing into poor Mrs. Wiggs, her poor
neighbors and the ragged little girls
and boys. q
All the actors did their parts in spir
tied manner, rendering smooth per-
formance and eliciting much apprecia
tive laughter from the audience. with
the constant humorous situations.
Those who took part in this sketch,
dramatized by Mrs. George Hall, were
Mrs. J.. Koch (Mrs. Wiggs), Mrs. w.
d. MSDohoiu, wi .. d. DioVuoh' AVA -.
w. S.. B. Dana, Mrs. Burns, Mrs. Yae-
ger, Mrs. H. Everett, Mrs. G. Hall,
Mrs. ]. C. Vosburgh, Mrs. j. White,
Mrs. E. Velsey, Mrs. Dillon and Mrs.
G. Donaldson.
The closing speech of Mrs. Wigs
quaint and happy philosophy gave the
final delightful touch to an evening
which was altogether successful in
every way, due to the splendid coop
Grafton of everyone concerned.

Fireman Answers
Call, Injuries Leg

August Gerbaski, volunteer fireman
of the local fire department, came to
grief Tuesday evening after his COM
pany had answered what proved to be
false alarm. While alighting from
the runnerbosrd of the fire truck Ger
baski slipped on the ice beneath the
rear wheels and his left leg was
crushed as the truck was backing into
the grounds of the Lincoln Film Com
pany, Lafayette avenue. He was
rushed to the North Hudson Hospital
in the department truck.
There was no fire. A steam valve
had merely blown from one of the
tanks.

HONOR MAYOR MARINI
AT DINNER IN Fl. Lee
Garabaldi Lodge No. 493 of Cliff.
side Park Presents Loving
Cup to Young Official.

Mayor Joseph W. Marini of Cliffside
Park was signally honored at dinner
given for him by the Garabaldi Lodge
No. 493 of Cliffside Park at Cellas
Hotel in Fort Lee on Sunday last.
Mayor Marini was presented with
silver loving cup by Assemblyman
William D. Lorenzo of Bergen County
in behalf of the lodge.
About 300 persons attended the din.
ner among which were many prom
inent in the public life of the county
and state. Assemblyman Lorenzo
acted as POSTMASTER and was intro
duced to the gathering by R. G..
Fragali, chairman of the committee
in charge of arrangements.
Miss Rose Righard rendered several
vocal selections. Prominent among
the speakers present were the editors
of several Italian newspapers, the
Italian Herald, the Courier of America
and ii Progresso. The dining hall
was decorated in American flags and
Italian Coat of Arms, the symbol of
the society.
b. Duncan McClave, chairman of
the Republican committee for Bergen
County. spoke on the pride of ancestry.
Mr. McClave declared all races should
be proud of their ancestry and that
Americans could we'll be proud of the
races from which they were descended.
THE stirring up of differences be-
tween American citizens, Mr.. Nc.
Claye said. because of their ancestry,
creed or color, is dangerous. None of
us should permit himself to SO de-
grade others.
IAN American citizen, no matter
from which country he comes, should
be proud of his ancestry. Their pride
should be our pride. When this pride
does not exist, something is wrong
with the descendants or the ancestors.
Without this pride for things past, we
cannot expect to find pride for things
present. Without this pride then there
can be no pride for the American citi-
HCuSlip WHICH we nOlQ.
"lf this is true, and it is surely true
of all good citizens, it must be as true
for one as for the other. 1t is a Door
rule that works only one way. If
citizens of one ancestry refer to citi.
zens of another in some short ugly
word OF contempt, comeback re-
trlbution in an equally contemptuous
word or action is sure to follow.
Il dislike these ugly words applied
to person of any ancestry, creed or
color These words first used in con-
tempt often lose their assumed mean
ing by general use and time; but that
does not eliminate the evil. The evil
can be eliminated by proper mutual
respect or at least by mutual tolera-
ton.
1t can best be overcome by per-
forming the duties of freedom under
American citizenship, mindful always
OF citizens rights. Be for or against
a foreign country or it's people only
because of right or wrong"
Others who spoke at the dinner
We're: Mayor Edward A. White, of
Fort Lee; Mayor Carl w. Wright, of
Ridgefield; Mayor Alexander Marmet
of Fairview; former Mayor John

Arthur M. Agnew, of Grantwood, and
Counselor Joseph H. Gaudielle, of
Hackensack.
