II STRAY DOGS SHOT,
5. P. C. A. PROTESTS
Other Features of Monday Nights
Council Meeting in Cliff
side Park.

During the meeting of the Mayor
and Council of Cliffside Park on last
Monday night Councilman Dietrich
asked the Mayor If any authority had
been given the police to carry out the
provisions of the Proclamation regard
ing dogs. He said that he was given
to understand that no steps had been
taken to enforce the Proclamation.
Captain of Police Frank Borrell was
called into the meeting upon the re-
quest of the Mayor and said that the
orders had been given to him, and
seventeen stray dogs had been de-
stroyed the first two days, which re-
suited in number of complaints being
sent to Hackensack. He said that
Mr. Healy, representative of the
local branch of the S. P. C. A, asked
that the destruction of dogs cease
until the Council met, and in the
meantime he (Mr. Healy) would try
to arrange to have several communi-
ties combine their efforts and provide
dog catcher and pound.
No one from the S. P. c. A. was
present at the meeting on Monday
night, and after an effort is made to
get in touch with the S. P. C. A. Of
ficials to see what has been done, the
destruction of stray dogs will continue
unless another solution to the prob
lem is found.
In connection with the dog question
Councilman Dietrich reported for the
Board of Health that they do not want
an order for the incubation of all
dogs just yet.
The Board of Health desires that
the members be appointed marshals
so they have have police power when
they find law violator 1t is ex-
pected the Mayor will make the ap-
pointment at the next meeting.
A bill exceeding $500 for extra work
done in connection with the Gorge
road contract started discussion as
to the reason, and it developed that
the job required an extra fill of 1900
or 1000 yards of dirt that was not in
the contract, and the contractor on
his own Initiative made the fill. know
ing that it would have be done any
way, and took chance on having the
job confirmed and paid for by the
Council Richard Fox, Jr., the con-
tractor, in explaining, said that al
though over $500 yards had been
filled, that he charged for 1,100 yards
only at go cents per yard, which was
really less than cost. The bill, having
been o. KID by the engineer, was
passed for payment.
There were hearings of the Cliff
street supplemental ordinance and the
Camilla street Improvement ordi-
nance. Being no objectors present,
the ordinances were given their first
reading.
The Lawton avenue ordinance,
which was the main topic of the meet
ing, is dealt with in a special article
elsewhere in this issue.
The balance of the meeting was
taken up with the reading of commu-
nications and reports of minor impor-
tance.

PROSECUTOR HART SCORES
LIGHT CRIMINAL PENALTIES

Speed is not the only attribute of
Jersey justice, according to Prose-
cutor Hart.
Penalties imposed on criminals
in New Jersey are ridiculous" he
said, announcing that he would go
to the Grand Jury and ask indict-
ments for three separate crimes
against seven young men, now in
Jail, charged with attacking Miss
Madeline Russell, nineteen years
old, of Hasbrouck Heights, Sunday.
"a life sentence for murder
means not more than fifteen years,
thanks to a foolishly humane legis-
lature," Mr.. Hart continued. 81 am
going to ask the Grand Jury to in
dict these men for criminal assault,
highway robbery and carrying con-
cea1ed weapons"
He expressed disgust at "a lot of
misguided old women taking angel
cake to criminals who had just as
saulted young girl"

functions was given by the st. Johns
Lyceum, of Cliffside, last Sunday,
August third. The members and
their friends met on the Public Ser
vice pier at Edgewater, at eight
thirty for boat ride to Croton on

helped to make the affair as success
ful as it was. Much fun was had
when the boat landed at Croton and
everyone donned bathing suits. All
those that were timid about going in
the water or those who paraded the
beach soon found a committee of six

and it did not take long before every
one was in the cool waters of the
Hudson.

as this column is being written.
National observers of politics look
upon the fight in New Jersey between
United States Senator Walter E. Edge
and Hamilton F. Kean as having an
unfavorable reaction on the national
ticket in this state. 1t is openly stat
ed that the senatorial contest here
actually threatens the success of
Coolidge in this state. While the sit
uation is said by Republicans to be
dangerous, it is characterized as "an-
noying." Their attacks against each
other, which have gained circulation
through the newspapers, have aggra-
waited the situation greatly.
Rev. James K Shields, superintend-
ent of the Anti-Saloon League of New
Jersey, announced on Wednesday that
he had resigned, June 25, in order to
be candidate for United States SEN
ator, running as an independent dry
at the general election in November.
However, in the announcement of his
candidacy he declares that if Hamil-
ton F. Kean is nominated he will
gladly withdraw.
George L. Record, who will run as
an independent in the senate race, has
filed some of his petitions with the
secretary of state.
B. Duncan McClave, while unwilling
to say whether or not he personally
would oppose Randolph Perkins for
Congress, did assure The Palisadian
representative that Perkins would
have opposition at the primaries.
A resolution offered by Seymour
Sears of Grantwood at the meeting of
the Republican County Committee
held in Hackensack on Wednesday
night embodied a request to B. Dun
can McClave, chairman of the county
committee, to forego his personal am
bitions in the matter of candidacy
for any of the state or national offices
in order to devote his time and ef-
forts to directing the coming cam
paign for the Republican party.
At the meeting of the county COM
mittee Randolph Perkins, who is seek
ing denomination, and John r. Ram
say, who is also seeking the nomina-
tion for representative from the Sixth
Congressional district, were there in
person to make known their entrance
into the race.
Among the candidates for the state
legislature are Charles F. Black of
Ridgewood, Ralph w. Chandless of
Hasbrouck Heights, Colonel o. w.
Hurd of Leonia, the three present
members from Bergen county and
James H. White of East Paterson.
William De Lorenzo has not entered
the race this year.
In the contest for freeholders, ac-
cording to the announcements at the
meeting of the county committee on
Wednesday night, are William Bes-
wick of Garfield, A. 2. Bogert of River
Edge, w. H. Roberts of Coytesville,
the present encumbents, and Mayor
Joseph w. Marini of Cliffside Park,
Harold S. Maybe of haywood and
Edward ]. Lyons, Jr., of Englewood.
