''Bill" Michaelson
Representative of
New Highway Service

Auto drivers in this vicinity will
be interested to know that William T.
Michaelson, proprietor of the Grant
wood Garage, has been recognized by
the Highway Emergency Service as a
local representative.
Motor vehicle operators who travel
over the roads of New Jersey are
aware of what it means to be stalled
in some wilderness, far from all habi-
tation and especially distant from a
garage, and will welcome the news
that the Grantwood garage has be-
come an official station of the Emerg-
ency Service, and will appreciate the
close proximity of facilities to aid
them in time of distress.
The State Highway Department has
constructed a system of first-class
highways, but it remained for the en-
gineering department of the Highway
Emergency Service to install a sys-
tenn of communication along these
roads. This system includes regu-
lation telephone enclosed in a cabi-
net placed at intervals of one mile
along the public highways.
The victim of an emergency or ac-
cident ON any highway in the eastern
part of Bergen county has now but
to reach one of these telephone boxes,
or any telephone, and communicate
with the nearest station, which in this
case will be the Grantwood garage,
and will receive immediate response
and assistance.

Mrs. Hal. T. Beans
Urges Affirmative
Vote on School Site

In order to insure an intelligent
vote on the proposition to be submit
ted by the Board of Education next
Monday it is important to place be-
fore the voters the essential informa-
ton.
The selection of a site for High
School building has become increas-
ingly difficult A committee who have
faithfully considered every possibili-
ty have finally agreed upon a site
which meets the necessary require
ments as to central location, extent
and accessibility. 1t faces Lemoine
avenue, Fort Lee, on the west and
runs S74 feet north from the white
house beyond the Solax studio. The
plot is irregular on the east. 1t COM
prises about ten acres. 1t can now
be had intact by condemnation pro-
ceedings. The cost will approximate
$4,000 per acre, making total of
about 100000 A careful comparison
of land values will convince any citi-
zen that this is fair estimate.
The Board of Education has an ac-
cumulated fund of S25,000, which rep
resents several years savings from
the annual current expense fund. AS
this was voted for particular pur-
pose, it cannot be used for any other,
except by the vote of the people. The
board is asking the citizens to re-
lease this fund for the purchase OF
the plot described above and at the
same time to vote the additional S10,-
900 necessary to insure covering the
official appraisal and costs.
1t is important that this action be
enabled by decisive vote. The
Board of Education promises COM
Portable arrangements for voting,
which will do away with the extreme
ly bad conditions of the last election.
The polling place is the Whitman
street school, the time next Monday,
July 13, at p. m.
Will you not help the progressive
element in school affairs by casting
your vote?

STATE SAYS $4,000 IS
TOO HIGH FOR PROPERTY
Promise of Nominal Charge Made
by Prominent Citizens for
School Property; Mrs.
Dobbelaar Resigns.

At the meeting of the Fort Lee
board of education on last Monday
night the question of payment for the
land taken by the state from the Pali-
sade school property was discussed at
length.
1t seems the state took the land
after being assured by prominent citi-
zens that a nominal charge would be
made for the same and they do not
consider $4,000, which has been asked,
is a nominal charge.
A committee consisting of Mrs.
George Clark of Palisade, John Abbott,
Jr and Richard Celia of Fort Lee was
appointed to have personal inter
view with representatives of the State
Highway Commission and settle the
matter in a manner that will be
mutually satisfactory.
The Parent-Teacher Association of
Coytesville, by means of petition,
asked for improved janitor service in
the Coytesville school. They COM
planned that the floors are not properly
oiled and that when a case of con-
tagious disease is found only the one
room is fumigated, instead of the en-
tire school. 1t is their opinion that
two janitors are needed. The matter
was referred to the proper committee
and action will be taken to relieve the
condition.
The resignation of Mrs. Ada Dobbe-
laar, who has recently removed from
the borough, as member of the
board, was read and accepted with re-
grets. Clerk Abbott was authorized
to send her letter of thanks for her
services when upon the board.
The committee for School No. was
authorized to have all outside trim on
that building repaired and painted.
The cost was estimated at $400.

''Blinkers'' and New
Street Lights for
Palisade Avenue

1t will be only matter OF a lew
davs now and Palisade avenue be-
tween Palisade and Fort Lee will be
one of the finest illuminated highways
in this section. Scores of light poles
have been erected by the Public Serv-
ice Electric Co. at the order of the
borough and high candle power lights
will be placed thereon.
This will do a lot toward eliminat-
ing the danger of night driving on
this busy highway. The police de-
partment has had installed silent
policemen" otherwise known as
"blinkers" at several of the turns
along the avenue and Route No 10
which are a decided help to traffic.
The large number of weekend auto
tourists were handled remarkably well
by the police in Edgewater and Fort
Lee. The cars were transported from
Jersey to New York on Sunday night
in double quick time, thanks to the
cooperation of the Public Service
Corporation, who ran the ferryboat
Leonia back and forth between the
two southern slips carrying automo-
biles to New York only and coming
back light No foot passengers were
carried and this enabled it to make
many trips. The other four boats ran
as usual.
