Sped it to tho Serai ton Tribune.
Tttnkhannock, Fob. 22 At tho meet
ing of the borough council on last
Monday evening, It 'being the last
regular meeting of the piescnt coun
cil, nnd nlso the last meeting to be
held duilng the term of the present
butgexs, W. Dean Sampson, the le
poit of the bulges of the business of
Ills tin eo oats' term was leeched and
read, After giving a statement of tho
lines and llcn-u fees collected nnd tho
disposition of the money, he goes on
to enumerate the itnptovcmcnts that
have taken place in the town during
the three uars ot his teim. By his
repot t they make a shoeing that cm
be equalled by only fe'v towns in the
state. In tho tluro y-ars Ju&t past
Tunkhannock has enjood a building
boom, mom honp, store buildings,
etc., being built In that time than for
rnatity je.ais pievious. Possibly the
greatest impiovemint to the town In
the matter of buildings was the con
st! uetlon of the Jennings and rilckler
blocks on Tioga street. These aic In
the heart of tho business pot tion of
the town and ale thrce-striv brick
structures with modetr plate glass and
lion fronts and take the place of a row
of old one-story wooden buildings.
Another great Improvement is that
one now under way In the remodelling
of the Statk block at the coiner of Ti
oga and Bildge stteets, nnd tho build?
lng of a modern store building on tho
opposite coiner, whcie "Bin dock Patk"
has long been vacant. Of Improve
ments of a public untitle may bo men
tioned th" Installing nf an electric
light plant at a cost of $15,0(0, the
plant being owred now bv local capi
talists, the puichase by the counlv
of tho Tunkhannock liver bridge for
J2S.O00, and making It free; tbo elec
tion on the court hour situate of a
$9,000 soldlets' and sallois" monument:
the placing, hy tho bcrottgh, of a cotrt
plto fewer svstom, nt a cot of about
$11000, and a. telephone t?.vstem, reach
ing not onlv town snb"iibotn. but
ni'atlv cveiy place of Impc ltanco in thj
lountv. In the matter of Industries,
we ait- now engaged In electing n can
ning f.utoiy with a cipltal of $l"00i,
and a woolen mill, caiitilled at $.'0,
000, the gieatet share of the tock In
both companies being owned bv local
people. The thing that would add
most to the futuie prspejlly of tin
town would be a lailroul connection
with Scianton to icllevo us of the ec
oibllant ft eight charges and inillf.'ei
ent s-ctvlc of the Lehli) Valley. With
that there shorld h" no iea-on why
the town should not boom.
