Citizens Club to
Foster a Better
Roads Movement

At recent meeting of the Citizens
Club of Cliffside Park the efforts of
Charles ]. Leeger in support of the
proposed Lawton avenue improve
ment were commended by the presi-
dent of the club, c. B. Hearn.
The use of a mixture of tarvia and
crushed stone for the repair of the
borough roads was suggested by A.
H. Lueders and the club voted to
send a communication to the Mayor
and Council endorsing the use of this
or some such combination for repair
work. They also expressed them
selves as being in favor of general
movement for the permanent improve
ment of the borough thoroughfares.
The regulation of traffic and the
assigning of certain cross streets for
heavy trucking were suggested by
Rev. Marshall Montgomery.
The Citizens Club is powerful
force in the borough and have always
been active in movements that were
for the public good. 1t is hoped they
will keep plugging on the road ques-
tion, which is getting to be more of
problem every day in Cliffside Park.

ROUTE NO. 18 TO Be
RICH IN SCENIC BEAUTY
Present Plans of State Highway
Commission to Have Beautiful
Highway Along Top of the
Palisades.

Eastern Bergen county is to possess
one of the most scenic highways in
the entire east when the present
plans of the State Highway Commits
sion are completed.
The plan is to develop and remake
existing roads along the ridge of the
Palisades up to the New York state
line, which is to be known as Route
No. Is, planned to afford beautiful
drive for the ever increasing army of
Motorists.
Thanks are due to the firm of Nc
Calve & McCalve for vast amount
of work in connection with the pro-
posed route, which was done by them
gratuitously, and to Senator William
B. Makay, as well as Assemblyman
Ralph Chandless, who were infiuen-
tial in having the bill authorizing the
new route passed over the governors
veto at the session of the legislature
last year.
The routes real beginning is in
Hoboken, then north along the Ber-
gen pike, through Ridgefield into the
newly completed Route No. 10. to
Palisade avenue in Palisade. From
here it follows Palisade avenue to
Fort Lee and north from Fort Lee
along Lemoine avenue, through En-
glewood Cliffs, following the ridge of
the Palisades on, through Alpine into
New York state, where it links up
with the Nav York state Route No
passing through Pierpont, Nyack,
West Point and leads directly into the
famous Storm King highway.
The contract for the first portion
of this highway has been awarded to
John J. McGarry at the approximate
cost of 100000.
The entire construction job will not
be complete for several years. and the
cost will run into the millions.

Fine Young Man
Dies After Few
Weeks of Fever

The community was shocked on Fri
day of last week when the sad news
of the death of Joseph Calderone of
Warren avenue was made known.
Joseph was a fine, manly chap of
eighteen and until a few weeks ago
enjoyed perfect health. He was en-.
gagged in the plumbing trade in Fair
view and was we'll liked by all who
knew him.
He made several trips to Palisades
Interstate Park about a month ago
and drank some water from one of
the streams. Shortly afterward he
was stricken with typhoid fever. He
was ill at the home of his parents at
243 Warren avenue in Palisade for
several weeks but his condition SEEM
ed to get worse instead of better and
ON Monday of last week he was re-
moved to the Saint Mary's Hospital
where he passed away on Friday last.
Funeral services were held at the
Grantwood Epiphany Church on Mon
day and interment was made in the
Fairview cemetery.
He is survived by his parents, three
brothers and two sisters.
1t is sad, indeed, when the hand
of death touches one so young and the
heartfelt sympathy of the community
goes out to the grief stricken family
in this the hour of their bereavement

No Heavy Trucking
Allowed

But this really means very little
to the average truck driver, who
wants to make a short cut out of
Bluff road, going east or west in
Route No. 10.
OF course, the sign warnings
were authorized by the council
with the idea that drivers would
respect them.
But few of them do.
Many complaints have reached
The Palisadian about this obvious
desire to keep heavy trucking off
of Bluff road. But the newspaper
has nothing to do with the matter.
What Mayor White ought to do
is to either tear the signs down or
enforce the language they contain.
If the signs are to be taken Sc
riously they should be respected.
Such brutal indifference to the
edict of a municipality is making
a joke out of the law.
If the signs mean anything they
should command respect. A few
of these outlaw drivers lacked up
and thumb-screwed with a few $50
fines. would halt the practice.
Maybe there is a state law that
says such signs amt worth the
kerosine oil it would take to burn
'em down.
Act, Mr.. Mayor, or confess the
joke.

THINKS SLEEPING GIRLS
ARE MURDER VICTIMS
Came to EdgeWater in Search of
Work and Fell Asleep in Pail
sade Woods; Had Run Away
From Home.

The deep slumber of two runaway
girls was disturbed on Thursday night
of last week by Patrolman Metz of
the Edgewater police after he had
been given tip that murder had
been committed.
A passerby had noticed the two
bodies stretched out and motionless
in a part of the Palisade woods on
the outskirts of Edgewater and sup
posed that a crime had been commit
ted. En- route to inform the police at
Metz who went straightway to the
spot only to find two rather pretty
girls, both sixteen years of age, slum-
bering peacefully in the balmy air of
the Palisades.
They rested their pretty heads on
bundles containing boys clothing so
the officer took them to the police
station where they confessed having
run away from their home at 122
West 127th street in New York City.
Their names are Margaret Miller and
Virginia Garland.
They said they had run away from
home on the Tuesday previous and
being unsuccessful in securing en-
ployment they came to Jersey where
they had heard there were lots of
jobs open for boys and men. This
explains the reason for the boys
clothing.
The girls anticipated staying awake
all night and applying for work in
one of the Edgewater factories at an
early hour in the morning. 1t was
not long before the desire for sleep
overpowered them so off to sleep they
went with the result that has just
been related.
Their parents were notified and
came over Immediately to take the
young ladies back to their home nests
where slumber is undisturbed in the
Edgewater manner.

Captain Samuel E. Darby has come
back from his summer tour of Europe,
where he went in July with the Amer

a member. He tells of great time
had by the American lawyers at their
convention in London. They were,
among other things, given a reception
by their majesties, the king and queen
of England, at Buckingham Palace.
And right there is where we all
had the best time OF our lives" he
added. "The English king and queen
were graciousness itself and received
each one of us most cordially. We
were shown every detail of the great
palace, its art treasures, great halls,
dining rooms, etc. The affair was in

for morning dress We soon learned
that this required a black cutaway
coat and vest, light striped trousers,
silk tile, gloves and cane. Well, all

tary of State Charles Evans Hughes.

A petition signed by eight residents
OF Marion avenue protesting against
the behavior of the patrons of the
Huron Restaurant, on the southwest
corner of Marion and Palisade ave-
nues, and demanding an investigation
be made was read at the regular meet
ing of the Cliffside Park mayor and
council on last Monday night
The petition charged that disturb
ances of various kinds resulted from
the hilarity of the patrons of this
place at all hours of the night and
that drunken men and women were
common sights. The petition also
made it known that the hilarity and
disgraceful exhibitions were not con-
fined to the restaurant itself, but
spread to the front lawns of the prop
critics nearby.
The building which houses the HUI
ron Restaurant is ownd by Thomas
Smith, but the proprietor is one John
Gallagher. 1t is said that Smith is
also the owner of the building in
which the Lodge is housed. 1t will
be recalled that the Lodge in Fair
view was raided last week, and the
proprietor, Ralph Troisi, and two girl
inmates were arrested and convicted
of running a disorderly house.
The matter was turned over to the
police committee by the council, and,
responding to their order, John Nc
Evoy, acting captain, made an imme-
diate investigation and exacted a
promise from the proprietor that in
the future he would control the be-
havior Of his patrons to insure against
any further annoyance to the neigh
borhood.
Next in importance to the mild SEN
sation created by the petition was the
revival of the LaWtoD avenue i'm
provement discussion. A new ordi-
nance has been drawn which reduces
the estimated cost of the improve
ment from $4,000 to $4,000. 1t was
made known that the owners of 1,139
improvement, and the owners OF $50
feet are opposed to it. Again argu-
ments for and against were listened
to, with the result that the ordinance
was continued on it's first reading un-
til the next meeting.
Upon the suggestion of Attorney
Agnew a resolution upholding the To-
cal coming law was introduced and
passed, and a copy of it will be for
warded to the governor. The signifi-
canoe of the resolution is this: AS far
as the borough is concerned it will
consider it's zoning law in full force
and effect, despite the recent rulings
of the supreme court in the cases Of
other zoning laws and will defend IN
the courts their right to enforce its
provisions.
A resolution presented by the fire
committee on an ordinance providing
for the purchase of new fire appa-
ratus for the Cliffside department, fix
ing the date of the hearing on October
Ia, was passed. The ordinance calls
for an appropriation not to exceed the
sum of S14,500.
Attorney Agnew reported that he
had been informed the case of Car
mine Richard versus the Borough of
Cliffside Park would come up for a
hearing next week.
In the absence of Mayor Marini the
president of the Board of Council, Mr..
Schweitzer, presided.
