Bove Protests Against
Garage to Be Built
In West Palisade

Through a complaint filed with Vice
Chancellor Lewis, George Bove, Fort
Lee property owner, seeks to have up
held restrictions imposed on plots of
land in the vicinity of Bergen boule-
ward and the state highway. He spe-
cifically seeks to bar the erection OF g
garage on the corner of the said thor
oughfares by Alma K. Christensen.
This Christensen land adjoins that
of the complainant, and Bove con-
tends that it is subject to the same
restrictions as his own, as title to
both plots is derived by transfers
from the Hudson River Realty Com
pany, which restricted all of the sur
rounding property.
Bove maintains that the restrictions
provide for the erection of single fam
lily houses on a lot not to cost less
than $4,000. He says that they also
provide that no other building shall
be built on the plot nearer than seven
ty feet of the building line and twen-
ty-five feet of the side line and no
stable or fence may be built closer
than fifty feet from the street line.
He charges that the defendant is
erecting a garage in violation of the
restrictions. She is directed by the
court to show cause Monday why the
operations shouldn't be stayed. lsaacs
& Gunther represent the complainant.

GARAGE IN FT. Lee
BURNS TO GROUND
CIiffside Park Companies Re-
Spond to S O S Call From
Fort Lee Department.

The Runners Rest Garage, on An
derson avenue, in Fort Lee was
burned to the ground on Tuesday
night.
The fire, which had gained con-
siderable headway before the Fort
Lee fire companies could answer the
alarm, due to the quantity of gaso-
line and OIL and other infiammable
liquids stored in the garage.
The bursting and exploding of
gasoline and oil drums. made the
fighting of the stubborn blaze ex-
tremely hazardous for the firemen.
When the local companies could not
get the flames under control, hurry
call was sent to the Cliffside Park
fire department. Cliffside had it's
three engines and force of thirty
men on the scene within five minutes
after receiving the call.
Unable to check the blaze that il
Illuminated the entire community, the
combined companies of the two
towns gave their attention to pro-
tecting surrounding property.
After fighting for more than two
| hours, the iremen got the blaze un-
der control. More than twenty
streams of water were poured into
the flames. The garage soon was a
smouldering heap of material and
twisted steel, the remains of auto
mobiles and an air compressor that
had been stored in it for the night.
A truck loaded with dairy prod
ucts, owned by Harold Fleming of
Fort Lee, was destroyed, nothing re-
naming to salvage, the entire chas-
sis being twisted pile of steel from
the intense heat. Other cars owned
by J. Calleti, proprietor of the gar
age; a delivery truck owned by ].
Blockwood, contractor, of Fort Lee,
and an air compressor, owned by
John j. McGarry of Edgewater, also
were destroyed in the fire.
1t is rumored about that the fire
was started in three corners of the
building and that it had been set on
fire purposely. The Fort Lee officials
will conduct an investigation to find
the cause of the fire. There was nc
insurance on the building
The residents and home owners in
the immediate vicinity of the fire,
commended the firemen of both Fort
Lee and Cliffside, in confning the
blaze to the garage.
In ALL eight cars were destroyed.
Two dogs, left to watch the place,
were roasted to death. The owner of
the garage is married and has eleven
children. 1t was his sole means of
support.

Who Said There Is
No Santa Claus? ?
(By the Editor)

There are a few modern people
of very queer ways who have made
vain endeavor to impress others
with the belief that Christmas is
unreal and that Santa Claus is
fiction. If there ever was anything
real it is that Santa Claus is not
only person, but in point of fact
the most important one in all the
world. That he really drives a
team of reindeers through the air
and over the housetops is also as
real as his personality. Santa
Claus is one of those persons who
does not say much but does a great
deal. Ever since Christendom be-
gan, Old Mister Santa Claus has
been cavorting all over everywhere
with his sleds filed with Christ
mas cheer, toys, fruits, candy, nuts
and all the good things that he is
able to find, stopping any and
everywhere there is house and
children, and it is the rarest thing
that any child is ever left out on
one of his visits. Of course, Old
Santa Claus has his favorites. He
dearly loves children that are good
and who obey their parents, and
who go to bed early every night;
who say their prayers, too, and
who get up each day with thanks
in their hearts for all the bless
ings of good health and ample
sleep. Where he knows that this
expression of gratitude is a part
of the lives of children he does not
hesitate to drop an extra pound of
candy, an additional orange or ap-
pie and other good things in their
stockings. When anybody tries to
make a child believe that there is
anything queer about Santa Claus
it is the greatest indignity to the
rights of children who so dearly
love the good old Saint of Christ
mastide. How he gets down chin
neys with his pack on his back is
something we need make no in
quiries about. Everyone who wants
to be truthful believes anything
about Santa that was ever said or
written.

ATTEMPT To kIDNAP

Timely Appearance of Police Off
Ger FreudenreiCh FruS-
trateS Plan.

Waiting until Staria Valenchias, 49,
started for work one day recently
William Valenchias of 407 Milliard
street, New Britain, Conn, and Will
liam McGregor of IS Fairview street
New Britain, Conn, attempted to kid
nap her and take her back to Con
necticut.
Only for the timely appearance OF
Policeman George Freudenreich of the
Fairview department the youths might
have been successful in carrying out
their plans.
Valenchias and McGregor drove uI
enchias and knocked on the door
When they could get no response to
their continued knocking they went
away, but later returned to the house
and waited until the girl started for
work.
AS she left her home Miss Valen-
chias was seized by the two, who tried
to carry her into the car. Her cries
for help attracted the attention of
Freudenreich in the station house, al
most across the street.
When the pair saw the policeman
they released their hold on the girl.
Valenchias told the policeman that
he had been sent by his father to
bring his sister home with him. Nc
Gregor said that he had accompanied
Valenchias on the trip as friend.
Miss Valenchias. however, refuted
these statements, saying she had been
corresponding with her parents and
that they were satisfied with her COM
ing to New Jersey. She produced a
letter to the police court proving her
contention.
1t was learned by Chief of Police
Anthony Magrino that McGregor,
while the girl was in Connecticut, had
been escorting her on numerous occa-
sions and that it is the police heads
opinion that this was the real cause
of the attempted kidnapping.
Neither Valenchias or McGregor
could furnish bail for their release, SO
McGregor and the automobile were
held. Valenchias was fined SIS for be-
ing disorderly and released to return
home to secure bail for both himself
and his friend.

NEXT PRESIDENT OF STATE SENATE,
MORGAN LARSON, PLEDGES SUPPORT
.TO MACKAY'S HUDSON BRIDGE PLAN
Many Organizations Active in Moulding Sentiment for
Span-Loca Realtors Appeal to Other Boards in
Two States and Distribute Bridge Literature-Sena-
tor Mackay Tells How New York Needs Bergen
County for New Homes.

The Hudson bridge movement is not
tagging and many organizations are
active in making every endeavor to
have the new legislation for the span
pass this coming session.
The new Interstate Hudson Bridge
Associations are busy organizing their
committees and speakers are talking
the bridge thought in all sections of
the state.
The local Real Estate Board has
sent letters to every other board in
New York and New Jersey, urging
them to get back of the bridge move
ment. Copies of the New York Daily
News editorial which appears in this
issue of the Palisadian are being sent
broadcast through the two states and
autoists are being supplied with
Bridge the Hudson" pastors.
At Wednesday nights meeting of
the Republican County Committee,
Senator Morgan F. Larson of Middle
sex county next president of the State
Senate, pledged his support for Sena-
tor Mackay's bridge legislation.
of the fact that Senator William B.
Mackay was his friend, and that the
Senator from Bergen county had done
much to have him selected as presi-
dent of the Senate. Senator Larson
is now about to start his second term
as Senator from Middlesex.
Senator Larson assured his hearers
hnf hA rf, fAK, kAo kxr.l
program of Senator Mackay, and that
the Bergen Senator had helped him
to get the bridge from Perth Amboy
to Staten Island, but they did not
trade votes, because no one in Bergen
county had ever asked him to trade in
that manner
At meeting of the Mems Club in
Ridgefield Park last week Senator
Mackay spoke on the subject of the
bridge. Among other things he said:
Everybody wants the bridge; every
body is working for it. Both tsides
of the river see the necessity and are
cooperating through regular associa-
tions toward that end. Preliminary
work has been commenced, and | hope
that at last we are on the way toward
a great forward movement which will
be of inestimable benefit to all the
people of my own county as we'll as
to those who reside in New York.
Bergen County has the only remain.
ing open land on which the overflow
population of New York can be housed
and they must turn to us for homes.
1t is up to us to bring about the i'm.
provements which will make Bergen
county stand out as the premier sub
urban section in the metropolitan
district"
Everything points to the successful
passage of any new bridge legislation
introduced this year.
