A number of progressive citizens of
Belmont street are very much worked
tip over the way they are being treat
ed by the city councils, and claim
that as they are a fait of the city they
must receive their rights.
The residents of Be lmont street above
Clarke avenue, wish the sewer and
Mreet iave. A in-tlilon Is now before
the councils asking for a brick pave
ment to the city line and also for a
sewer.
The sympathy of the whole city will
be with the residents of Belmont street
tn tin Ir wish for Improvements, and
help is looked for from the now Sixth

be cheaper to have the work done at

Dr. Gardner left yesterday for a bust
nss trip to Nicholson and Susuuehan
na. Monday Is known In our bustling
county seat as "veal" day, for every
week there is shipped from Montrose by
a linn composed of John Howell.Messrs.
Lake, r,f South Montrose; James Hong,
of Auburn, and D. "Howe, of Fairdale,
from luO to 175 veal calves, as well as
other stock. This does not Include the
many shipments mode by f.irmers di
rect to the commission men. Yester
day veal calves netted the furmtrs 3-4
to A cents.
It is estimated that there. are nearly
200 bicycles owned In Montrose.
A recent report told is a very pretty
way about the Montrose railway's third
rail to make It standard guage. It is
to be hoped that this is true, and that
it Is based upon something other than
Idle rumor. The fact that the road now
has a third rail from Tunkhnnnock to
Lake Carey Is hardly competent, as it
is utilized for Ihlgh Valley excursion
trains In the summer and for ice In the
winter. Should this road succeed In
building a standard gunse as far as
Montrose one of the several surveys for
Its continuance to Hingl.amton could be
utilised.
