APPOINTMENT OF ERNEST SIBLEY
AS ARCHITECT FOR HUDSON HEIGHTS
SCHOOL IS NOW UP To CITIZENS
Letter From William Nye Says General Impression Is That
Sibley Has Been Appointed, but This Is Not True;
Received Appointment for High School Addition
Only; Tells How Citizens Can Help by Expressing
Their Views.
July 80, 1925.

July 20, 1925.
To the Editor:
1 wish you would let the citizens Of
Cliffside Park know that Mr.. Sibley
has not been appointed as the archi-
tect for the new Hudson Heights
school. The general impression
seems to be that he has already re-
ceived the appointment. This is not
true.
At the meeting of the School Board
on July 16, thanks to the efforts of
John F'ridlington and other citizens,
the appointment of Mr. Sibley as
architect for the High School addi-
tion was accomplished, even after the
board had practically barred him by
insisting the work be given out as the
result of a competition.
At a special meeting on next Fri
day night, August 7, the board will
consider plans submitted by two
architects, William Mayer and Ralph
Evans Hacker. Mr. Sibley will not
submit plans because the board has
not provided for an American Insti-
tute competition, the only kind of
competition he is permitted to enter.
There should be no question about
the appointment of Mr.. Sib1ey as the
architect for the new school, but un-
happily there is, and without a siren
uous and active protest on the part
of number of citizens Mr.. Sibley
will be out of it entirelp. I do not be-
lieve that the taxpayers of this bor-
ough who desire to see school build
ings in the borough on a high plane
will countenance the attempt to de-
prive Mr.. Sibley of an appointment
that he is entitled to, not alone be-
cause of his recognized ability as
school architect but because of mis-
school building record in this bor-
ough, and because he has already pre-
pared plans at the request Of the for
mer board at great expense to him
self. Money paid to Mr.. Sibley in the
past by Cliffside Park has been an in
vestment which the town can benefit
Ii Oll hOW Wy ClnplOy iu5 AiAu W uO lllC
work in connection with the new
school. In fact, Mr.. Sibley has every
argument in his favor, which are too
numerous to give in detail here.
1t is up to the citizens of Cliffside
Park to insist on his appointment at
the meeting next Friday night. If
you are going to be Indifferent about
it the work will be given to one of
the other two architects, rest assured
that. If you can not be present at
the next meeting, write a letter ex-
pressing your views and mail it as
soon as possible to Mr.. John Kelly,
clerk of the Board of Education, Cliff
side, n. ]. Sincerely,
WILLIAM S. B. NYE,
Hudson Heights.

Fred Stohl Had House
Warming Saturday Night

Fred Stohl had house warming at
his new establishment in Englewood
Cliffs on last Saturday night, and over
200 people from all parts of Bergen
county were present to enjoy the fes-
tivities.
Fred was for several years proprie-
tor of the Marion Restaurant, at 55
Marion avenue, in Grantwood, and
just recently sold his interests here
and bought a fine house with large
grounds on Sylvan avenue, in En-
glewood Cliffs.
He has a host of friends in this vi
cinity, and they turned out in droves
on last Saturday night to inspect the
new inn and wish him success.
Fred was the same genial host on
Saturday night and was wearing a
new silk shirt to celebrate the occa-
sion. No one went home hungry, for
steak sandwiches and lamb chops
cooked to turn were served in gen.
erous quantities.

GAME POSTPONED
Will Be Played Sunday, August g;
Local Team Lost to Palisades
Park Sunday Last.

On account of several of the play
ers of the Grantwood Athletic Club
being away on their vacation, it has
been necessary to cancel this Sun
days game with Coytesville. This
game will be played at the Play
grounds in West Grantwood on Sun
day, August 8. Gerald Gerrity, for
mer first baseman of the Grantwood
A. c., will pitch for the visitors, and
his brother Joe Gerrity will oppose
him in the box for Grantwood.
Manager Vieau greatly regrets the
necessity of changing the date of this
game but could not avoid doing so.
The following Sunday, August 16, will
also be a home game with the Pali-
sade Park team. Two good games
are in store for the fans of Cliffside
Borough.
Last Sunday the Grantwood A. G..
travelled to Palisade Park, where they
were defeated by the Community
Club team. Seven of Grantwood' S
players were away which made it
necessary to arrange an entirely new
team The team was made up as fol-
lows: Edwin Maron, first base;
Gribbins, second base; Delaney,
shortstop; Hafiey, third base; Pete
Johnston, left field; Gerrity, pitcher;
Vieau, catcher; Carney, right fielder.
The score was IA to s. Joe Gerrity
held them we'll in hand until the sixth
inning when they scored about eight
runs through few hits mixed in with
errors. Gerrity certainly did we'll
when one considers the team in back
of him. The Grantwoods are looking
forward to August 16 when they will
again meet Palisade Park in Grant
wood and they will have their regular
team in the field.

.FA|RV|EW MANS BODY
DISCOVERED IN WOODS
Murderers Laid Plan to Make
1t Appear a Suicide
Attempt.

The body of Stephen Satzuk of
Fifth street, Fairview, was found rid
died with bullets in the woods off
Dallytown road, in Fairview, on Tues
day morning by two men, S. Pinquow-
sky of Cliffside and A. Castelano of
Union City, who were taking a short
cut from Ridgefeld.
His watch was still running, and
other evidences lead the police to be-
lieve that he had been dead only a
short time and that he had been killi
ed elsewhere and the body transport
ed to the wooded section.
An attempt was made by the mur-
derers to make it appear like a case
of suicide by leaving foreign .25 cal
iber revolver near the scene. Detec-
tive N. Allyn say it is very unlikely
that it was a case of suicide, for the
victim was shot through the temple,
the heart and the right breast. He
could not have survived the shock of
any one of these wounds long enough
to have accomplished the second and
third shots.
Allessandro Galducci of Hoboken,
who was picking mushrooms in the
Jewish cemetery nearby, told the po-
lice that he heard several shots about
8 O'Clock in the morning.
The murdered man was single,
twenty-nine years old and boarded at
31S Fifth street. His half brother,
who identified the body said he left
home about 1890 o'clock to go to
the Warner Sugar Refinery, where he
was employed.

Razor Figures in
Street Argument

Carmiue Gimino, 233 Oakdene ave-
nue., Grantwood, was held under $1,000
bail by the Cliffside Park police this
past week. the result of welding a
razor during an argument with his
former foreman, Angelo Di Sciasco,
246 Lincoln avenue, Grantwood.
1t appears from information at the
police headquarters that Gimino had
lost his job and blamed it on Di Scias-
co, and when the two men met on the
street Gimino accused Di Sciasco. An
argument started, waxing warmer and
warmer. Finally Gimino drew razor
and attempted to attack Di Sciasco,
who lodged, and picking up a stone,
hurled it at his assailant, hitting him
below the eye, knocking him to the
ground. Policeman Eisberg was sum-
moned and placed Gimino under ar
rest on the complaint of Di Sciasco.
The men have known each other
for years, both being employed by the
same contractor.

Man Admits Driving
Close to Miss Kunz in
Order to Scare Her

Miss Kunz, a resident of Fort Lee,
appeared before Recorder William
Ennis in the Fort Lee police court
with a complaint against Edgar M.
Wilson of Dumont for reckless driv-
ing and trespassing on her property.
Miss Kunz alleged that Wilson de-
liberately drove his car through her
property and when she demonstrated
drove his car close enough to knock
her off her feet.
Wilson denied the charge, but ad-
mitted that he drove close enough in
order to scare her out of the way. He
further stated he was taking short
cut through her property on his way
to a camp on the bluff.
Wilson was given a severe repri-
mand by the recorder, who suspended
sentence.

IMPROVEMENT OF
NELSON AVE. LAID
over TILL AUG. 10
Pros and Cons, Argue at Meeting
of Mayor and Council; Side
walk Improvement Passes.

A spirited discussion pro and con
over the proposed Nelson avenue
street improvement was feature of
the Cliffside Park council meeting on
last Monday night and ended in the
laying over of the ordinance for an
other meeting. The ordinance for the
sidewalks on the street was passed,
however, and bids on the work will be
received at the next meeting.
1t seems that 48 per cent of the
property owners on Nelson avenue
favor the improvement and AZ per
cent oppose it. Most objections seem
to be because of the anticipated cost,
which, opponents claim, will be S400
per lot. This is not so, according to
they base their claim on the cost of
the Lawton avenue improvement,
which was about 1920 per lot.
The verbal battle between the pros
and cons consumed a good deal of
time and resulted in the laying over
ing. Mr.. H. Shelling, who lives on
Nelson avenue, and Mrs. T. Corriston,
an old resident, were among the op'
ponents of the improvement who took
part in the debate.
Ordinances for the improvement OF
Columbia avenue, Hudson Terrace
and Lincoln avenue, east, for which
the petitions against the improve
ment exceeded those for it, were all
voted down.
Ordinances for the improvement OF
Columbia avenue between Palisade
and Anderson avenues, for curb and
cutters and sidewalks on Jefferson
avenue, were introduced, and pub
lie hearing upon them will be held at
the meeting of August 10.
Mrs. Callaghan, who lives on Nelson
avenue, was present and protested
against the laying of the Palisade We
nue. sidewalks, stating that she had
never received notice that the work
was going to be done and that the
contractor had ripped up perfectly
good walk in front of her property
Her arguments were answered, and
she left apparently satisfied that
everything in connection with the i'm
provement was quite all right and her
failure to get notice was accidental
Acknowledgment of Clerk Abrams
letter to the Public Service Corpora
ton was received stating the matter
of providing a cinder platform at the
Division street stop had been referred
to the proper official
Mayor Marini, waxing humorous
said he would rather hear it had been
referred to a couple of laborers with
shovels.
The election of Carol Mahoney
Michael Korb and George Peterson as
members of the Grantwood fire com
pany was confirmed. George O'Neill
was appointed an inspector on public
improvements.
Councilman Meyer reported that the
Sinking Fund Commission would here
after lend all it's money to the bor-
ough at the rate of 31a per cent.

DR.. AHEARN PASSES AWAY TUESDAY
AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS SICKNESS;
WAS PROMINENT AND LIKED BY ALL
Able Physician and True Friend Hundreds in Hilltop
Section-High Requiem Mass Held in Epiphany
Church This Morning-Interment Take Place in
Susquehanna, Pa

The death of DR.. William P. Ahearn
of 236 Grant avenue, Grantwood, on
Tuesday night about IL o'clock was
a great shock to the physicians many
friends in this section.
DIR. Ahearn was only 40 years old
and he is survived by his wife, Mar
garet L., his seven year old daughter,
Mary, and two brothers, Rev. Thos. A,
of Wilbes-Barre, Pa, and John j., of
Jackson Heights
The beloved doctor had been suffer
ing from various ailments for a num-
ber of months but his death came at
time when the residents thought and
hoped he was on the road to recovery.
His illness was the direct result of an
auto accident several months ago and
following recent blood transfusions he
seemed to rally up to week or so
ago when his condition grew gradually
worse and terminated in his passing
on Tuesday night.
The doctor and his family were
planning a pleasure trip to Europe for
the benefit of his health a short time
before the end came
The deceased was a native of Sus-
quehana, Pa. His early education was
in the public schools of that city and
he earned his doctors degree at the
University of Pennsylvania after a
pre-medical course at Fordham Uni
versity. He served overseas during
the World war with the American
Red Cross and came to Grantwood
with his family about ten years ago
and has always been active in frater-
nal, professional and social circles.
DR.. Ahearn played an important
part in the life of the Hilltop section
and enjoyed an enviable reputation as
a physician of ability. He was faith
full and loving friend of hundreds of
people who now mourn their great
loss. He was member of the local
branch of the Knights of Columbus
and was one of the organizers of the
Cllfside Park Elks. A tribute to this
line character is printed on the edi-
torial page
A high requiem mass was held in
the Epiphany Church in Grantwood
this morning at $50 o'clock and the
Dody was taken to DR.. Ahearn's former
home in Susquehana, Pa. for inter.
ment, where another mass will be held
tomorrow Saturday morning.

Sheriff Nahs Tbieua.

Thanks to the sharp eyes Of Miss
Viola Fish, who happened to be
standing at an upper window in the
court house, Sheriff Robt. Erspamer
was enabled to nab couple Of
thieves travelling in Cadillac car
Tuesday morning.
The sheriff had Just received n
description of the outfit from Mercer
and telling of the theft of two tires.
and asking him to watch out for the
thieves, when Miss Fish happened to
spy green Cadillac turning in at
the Standard Oil station near the city
hall. The sheriff exhibited his
usual sprinting ability and reached
the scene Just in time to arrest them
before they made their getaway. He
found the stolen tires on the rear of
the car. The men claimed to have
bought the car in Wausau. On
examination the car was found to be
a young arsenal, containing firearms
OF all descriptions, together with a
nee assortment of fishing tackle,
flash lights, and various kinds of
sporting goods. According to word
from Wausau the men had raided a
hardware store there. 1t is also
thought they may have been the ones
who broke into the Manitowish
depot the previous night. The
men, who gave their names as Alvin
Mesaik and Joseph Dawson, were
held in the county Jail pending
arrival of authorities from Wausau.

Bass Season OPENS Today.

The bass fishing season, the last
of the game fish seasons, opens to-
day, June 20. For many years the
bass season has opened on June Is,
but the legislature now in session
changed the season to open on June
20. This change is said to have
been made for the benefit of bass in
Northern Wisconsin. 1t is con
tended that this game fish in
Northern Wisconsin does not pet
through spawning by June Is.
The legislature also reenacted
the size limit, SO that baby game fish
of any kind can no longer be law
fully taken.
