those who sock it, willing to give of
their time, and ability to the work.
There seems however to be something
that causes men who are at other
times friends and neighbors, in the
heat of a campaign to say and do
things that would not be thought of in
their usual daily intercourse. It would
seem to me that great care should h. j
taken that in the heat of the content i
the fair name of our Borough is no! j
smirched with slime.
1 Hiring the last four years we have j
been ably served by Mr. Marini a.
Mayor and by Messrs. Meyer and Mc
Donald as Councilmen. It is intere.-t-]
ing to look at their record of atten
dance at the board meetings and Ur
various special and committee meet
ings, Our Borough has grown tre
mendously during this period, in pop
ulation, and taxable value.-. We en
joy an enviable position as a Borough
among the communities of Bergen
County. We have a splendid school
system, police, fire and road depart-]
moots and our finances are well hand-]
led and highly regarded by those who
are competent to judge. The adminis-j
tration in its best judgment have pur-]
chased land for a memorial site and
community center at a time when tiiei
values were low and at a time when
the last opportunity offered to huv
such space at any price.
These actions have been so general- j
]y approved by our citizens that there
is a general tendency on the part of
many to support them for re-election.
If one hopes to change the present
board it seems to me that a plan for
the future rather than a criticism of
the past should be submitted for con
sideration. What our people are in
tercsted in are not personalities, but
plans for the broadening out of our
Borough—how it can be made more
comfortable, economical, healthful or
beautiful to live in.
Have we gone too far in our lire
sent organization or not far enough?
Should we change what we are now
doing? If so, how? Lot the voters
know just \Vhut is in the mind of each
of these two men so that we cun judge
which is better entitled to our support.
’ Our campaign would then be clothed
\ with dignity and there will be no sore
spots to heal after election and both
winner and defeated can work togeth
/ cr to make Cliffside Park the best spot
J. in the world to build our homes and
rear our children.

tween yourself and Mayor Joseph W.
Marini, of Cliffside Park, Republican
ft candidate for re-election as Mayor of
the Borough would be of great public
interest the Palisadian regrets that a
controversy has arisen which appears
to have precluded the possibility of
you both meeting on it common plat
form as suggested. \
The Palisadian, as a third party,
proposes that a debate be held in the
’ K high school on Wednesday evening,
November 2 on the subject, “Resolv
ed; That Edward A. Kenney Be El
ected Mayor Of Cliffside Park On
November 8, 1927.” This we believe
is a broad subject and would afford
both speakers ample opportunity to
express their view.;. Naturally enough
you would take the affirmative side.
The Palisadian also suggests that
the affair be under the supervision of
a committee of five, two of the mem
bers to be appointed by you, two by
Mayor Marini and the fifth member
by the members of the committee to
serve as a member of the committee
and to be limited to yourself, the May
or and the chairman.
Trusting tfie foregoing plan will ap
peal to you us being entirely fair, be
lieve us,
Sincerely,
THE PALISADIAN,

or I am interested in Borough affairs
and tako pleasure in seeing tiling;.-, run
on a busness-like basis. And likewise
it is Iho duty of every American cit-i
zen to contribute toward the running
of public affairs, whether it be the
Nation, the State, the County or as
in my ease, the Borough.
.“That CliAside Park has seen $8,
000,000 worth of new buildings while
1 was chairman of the Building com
mittee, that our credit rating is a
triple in Moody’s Manuel of Invest
ment, that certain specific improve
ments that we sot out to make have
been accomplished all are a source of
great satisfaction to me and ample
compensation for the many hours of
hard woik necessary to make such
conditions possible.”
Such an expression of civic idealism
from a candidate running for office is
a pleasant departure from the usual
campaign chatter that, one hears.
Mr. Meyer has a record of which
he can be ju tly proud, lie has lived
in tlio borough of twenty-six years,
lias been a taxpayer for twenty years,
has served on the Council Hoard for
six years and has been unanimously
elected as President of Ur- Council
Board for the past three years.
As chairman of the Finance com
mittee he has done an admirable job
and placed the Borough in the triple
A class-, which is the highest credit
rating given. He can pride himself
on never having exceeded an approp
riation and during his chairmanship
lias never found it necessary to issue
an emergency' appropriation.
Ho was responsible for the estab
lishment of the “Baby Keep Well Sta
tions" in the Borough and suggested
and introduced the ordinances for the
purchase of Memorial Park and the
proposed Borough Hall site at very
advantageous figures.
The building progress of the Bor
ough has been phenominal and is in a
large measure due to the co-operative
spirit of the Building Committee of
which Mr. Moyer is chairman. lie lias
been particularly helpful to local
builders; and done away with the red
tape of politics that' usually hamper
developments.
With all his many responsibilities
and powers he has conscientiously re
spcctcd the will of the majority and
often bowed to their better judgment
even against his own pev.-ona! opinion
and desires. No-official in Northe rn
New Jersey was ever more sincere in
his desire to do the best for the poo
pl^than Ik- and he has gone out of his
way to interpret public sentiment be
fore voting on any important measure.

Bought Boro’s House

by thru' son who is employed by the
Dodge dealers, Tirowne, McQuaid and
Probst, of Dumont and Englewood.
An interview with the son further sub
stantiated the story of^lbe purchase.
A further investigation will be made
by the Council before any action is
taken in the matter.
The news of what had been said at
the Council meeting first reached Mr.
Celia through a Palisadian reporter a
few minutes after the meeting had ad
journed.
“Did you know that Mrs. Marshall,
who lives in the house on the Crystal
Lake property, has said that they
bought the property from you several
years ago for $6,200 am] paid you a
deposit of $1,000?” Mr. Celia was
asked. “If they did I would like to
have the money,” was his first remark.
Mr. Celia then asked what it was all
about and the foiegoing story of the
meeting was related to him.
“Well, all I know is that several
years ago I wanted to buy the prop
erty as I understood the Borough
wanted to sell it. I made an offer for
it to Harry Schall and gave him a
•heck for $100 to bind the contract in
I'ase the Borough accepted my offer.
Cater I learned that it had to be ad
vertised and sold to the highest bidder.
1 asked for my check back and he gave
it to me. That’s all I know about it.1

“Did you sell the property to him?”
the reporter asked. “How could I sell
the property to anyone when I didn’t
even have a deed for it?” Mr. Celia
retorted. “Then you deny having re
ceived .$1,000 deposit on the proper
ty?” he was asked. “Yes,” Mr. Celia
said and after thanking the reporter
for the information said goodnight.
