In 1909 he was given a two-year sentence for atrocious assault and battery. Other convictions were made in 1924 and 1925.

The result of the Suzuki-Araki dis-russion was not disclosed, but vernacular newspapers recorded a growing conviction that the leaders of the Seiyukal Party and of the army were approaching a compromise. The military faction was reported to be less strongly opposed to a Seiyukal cabinet or a predominantly Seiyukal coalition, and in newspaper interviews Mr.

Susuki approved the measures ad vocated by the army for the relief of agrarian distress, the most dangerous source of the prevailing discontent. One high official of the retiring min- i istry said the armv leaders were ready to assist in the formation of a Suzuki 1 cabinet if the premier pledged support tor the army's economic program. This program includes taxation changes giving relief to farmers and a moratorium on the debts of farmers and small merchants.

In conclusion. Paquin suggests thai, Vanderwart read the law carefully to-see for himself that it is one of the "most beneficial laws spread on ths statute books of New Jersey" and suggests that the people of Hackensack do likewise. His letter follows in full: CHALLENGES STATEMENT. "While I have no acquaintance with Mayor Vanderwart of Hackensack, In fairness to readers of your newspaper I cannot let go unchallenged the statements attributed to him in an editorial in this evening's Record entitled "Politicians Would Miss the Gravy." In that editorial appears the following: "Mayor Vanderwart's objection to the adoption of city manager government by law ls that it makes the city manager a virtual monarch if he ls Inclined to make full use of his power. When this assertion was disputed in a private, discussion, the Mayor said, 'Read tha law carefully and see for "How strong the sentiment is in Hackensack in favor of the municipal manager form of government I do not know, but I do know the New Jersey Municipal Manager Law, having read the law carefully and seen for myself.

Knowing the law and not knowing Mr. Vanderwart, I feel free to suggest that lf he ls. like most politicians, definitely opposed to a form of municipal government that the people at all times can directly control, he couia make, no shrewder move than to endeavor to destroy any sentiment there may ba In Hackensack favorable to Municipal Manager Government, by presenting a picture of a municipal manager as a potential tyrant. EXTRACT IS QUOTED. "So that your readers may not be misled on the subject, they are asked to read the following extract from P.

L. 17, p. 486, approved March 29, 1927: '803. The municipal manager shall hold office as long as he shall perform the duties of his office to the satisfaction of the municipal council. He may be removed at any time by a resolution signed by a majority of the municipal council setting forth the reasons for such "Does not this make it clear that in all his acts the municipal manager IS subject to the will of the governing body that appointed him? Does it not also make it clear that municipal manager, chosen by a council elected on a non-partisan basts, and themselves subject to recall, ls fat mora likely to render valuable service to the people than a so-called super visor whose Job has been given to him by a commission elected on a partisan basis? HAS WIDE AUTHORITY.

It ls true that the law assigns to the Municipal Manager a wide range of authority, making him the municipality's chief executive and the ad ministrative head of all departments of the government except those where the law requires that the council make the appointments; but In the exercise of that authority he is bound to observe whatever policies ars outlined by tha council, which in turn ls bound to serve faithfully the public interest, or be subject to recall. 'Perhaps Mayor Vanderwart sin cerely believes that he has devised for Hackensack a scheme of government that is superior to the municipal manager government, but even lf that be true, he has no right, in advocating it. to mislead the voters of Hackensack by misrepresenting one of the most bene ficial laws ever spread on the statute books of New Jersey the Municipal Manager Act adopted chiefly as the result of the efforts of the New Jersey State League of Women Voters 'Before he goes further in that 6i rectlon, my suggestion is that he "read the law carefully, and see for himself" and to the people or Hackensack. that they do likewise." CAREY INDIGNANT ABOUT LARSON APPOINTMENT (Continued from Page 1.) What becomes of their respect for the thing we call government? Again let me suggest, $100 per day will take care of twenty-five families In these hard days. Some of the newspapers of the state are already beginning to editorially comment on this new picture.

We must not sit back and supinely forget it. Right is right; wrong ls wrong, and graft Is graft, and this Is the time for the exercise of clean principles in our public life. The New Jersey men who put this proposition over on the tax payers ought to be heartily ashamed of themselves and undoubtedly they are. Have the people been gulled, or ls "gulled" the proper word? The safety of the people rests In the hands of the free and Independent prss of the state. Let me repeat again the strange coincidence, namely, that the creation, of this Job for a "worthy" Republican has been put through and fixed by one of the highest officials of Tammany Hall, aided by Frank Hague's representatives in New Jersey."

BLACK REPUBLICAN TAKE ONE Charles Black, prominent Republican, said that he "probably would support Hamilton Cross, Democrat, for congressman'' tn a speech last night at the Y. W. C. Ridgewood. Black characterized Cross's ideas as sound.

Cross has said that tax relief must originate from small groups such as chambers of commerce and luncheon clubs in order to affect legislation, because congressmen will not do anything unless they receive pressure from "back home." "There are few clear divisions be tween the Republican and Democratic parties today as each party has adopted good points from the platform of the othrr." Black said Both parties stand for a protective tariff, but the Democrats advocate in ternational negotiations relative to the tariff." Black stated that 22 per cent of the value of private property is mortgaged to the State because of town, county and State debts. He deplored the lack of lute rest shown in voting. In 1896 82 per cent of the electorate voted for President, against 50 per cent in 1D28. E. D.

Washington Avenue -and Main Street, near the borough line, with dredglngs from the River, was eliminated with conclusive certainty, when the committee of Councilman Herman Wer-neklng, Borough Attorney Charles F. Durnan and Borough Engineer Florio Job. Investigating the possibility together with the dredging project, submitted a report to the Little Ferry Borough Council at a meeting last night In borough hall.

Councilman Robert B.

That the borough could not undertake the project was made certain by Durnan, who stated that most of the lake was owned by private interests, and that the taxpayers' money could not be used to Improve private property. Durnan also stated that although the borough holds a tax lien' on a large portion of the lake, it does not actually own it until after the close of foreclosure proceedings. Wemektng stated that he had Inter viewed William Zabransky, part owner of the lake, who was opposed to the nion k.

smired Irom all owners lf the proJect to be undertaken. It had been previously estimated that the cost of fill was approximately 3 to 4 cents per cubic yard. The filling In of the lake would cost approximately $36,750 to the owners, as there are almost 1,225,000 cubic yards to be filled. Former Councilman Bartholomew J. Vandernoot advised the council tbat it could easily get the lake filled if it were to demand from the owners the replacement of four streets on the borough map, which show them to run through the property where the lake now is.

Borough Engineer Floyd Job stated that the dredge at present in the river is only an auxiliary one, and that it has no connection with the future project He also stated that as yet the federal government has not approved of the new dredging plan of the river. A representative of the company now dredging the river, he said, visited him, stating that he had 20,000 cubic yards of matter to be disposed of, and that it possibly be used to fill in Willow Lake. This would be but a small portion of the amount needed, and Job allowed the matter to drop. Meanwhile, the dredger ls carrying out the filling in of an abandoned clay pit of the Hackensack Brick Company on Bergen Pike, Little Ferry.
