Over Parking Ordinance
Before Its Introduction
Attorney Arthur M. Agnew report
ed to the Mayor and Council of Clilf
side Park on Monday evening that he
had prepared an ordinance to prohibit
parking on certain sections of Pali
sade avenue and that he had also pre
pared a general ordinance that would
invest in the police committee power to
regulate parking on any street or part

ing that such street or part thereof

Commenting on the general ordi
nance the attorney said he was not al
together sure that it would stand a
court test because it was not as speci
fic as most parking ordinances arc.
It was decided to defer action on
both ordinances until htc police com
mittee has the time to examine them
very carefully and make a recommen
dation.

BOROUGH OF FORT LEE
PROCLAMATION
It is entirely fitting that the historic Borough of Fort Lee
should celebrate the natal day of American Independence
and for this purpose the town fathers have appropriated the
sum of One Thousand dollars, to provide for the expense
thereof; and I, by virtue of the authority vested in me as
Mayor, have appointed a committee to complete the neces
sary details for this great event.
The committee, having worked hard nad conscientiously,
are prepared to present a Fourth of July program unprece
dented in the annals of our town, and it is my desire that all
our citizens participate in and enjoy the day’s events with
an understanding of their true significance and with a feel
ing of deep patriotism in their hearts and love one for an
other—fellow citizens in a great country.
I do, therefore, designate July 4, 1927, as a day of local
rejoicing and thanksgiving for the manifold blessings we
now enjoy through the sacrifice of those noble men in the
earlier days of American history.
EDWARD A. WHITE,
‘ Mayor of the Borough of Fort Lee.
