TONADNS FO DREAN SHATTERED Practical Assurance Given That Lehigh Will Build New Bridge at That Place, but it Will be of. Little Benefit to Residents of the Town For several years the Business Men's association of Towanda has’ been endeavoring to induce the officials of the Lehigh Valley to change the course of the road at| that place and erect a passenger station at a point which would be convenient to the residents as well as to the people who are compelled to go in and out of town. Every! one in this section is familiar with | the present location of the Lehigh station at Towanda, and therefore it is unnecessary to go into details, | A committee appointed by the Towanda Business Men's associa- | tion has held several interviews | with the Lehigh officials. The latter were requested to erect a! station at the foot of either Park street or Mix avenue. Either of! these points was considered to be | a central location, but there was | more than simply building the sta. tion involved in the request. It would have been necessary also for the company to run the main tracks down the west side of the Susquehanna river for a distance of | nearly a mile, and then cross the stream. Doing this would mean the abandonment of the old bridge and the erection of a new one. It would also mean raising the grade at least 17 feet to meet the grade on the east side of the river. The project involved the expenditure of at least $250,000, to say nothing of the purchase of the necessary land on which to build the road over the proposed route.. Proper- ty owners asked high prices and the company hesitated. The mat. ter has thus been pending for some years and the committee has been unable to get a direct reply. At times it has looked as if the com- pany might be induced to grant the proposed change, but recent developments appear to have shat- tered every hope and it now seems as if this wish of the residents of | Towanda will never be realized. | at a point nearly a half mile north of the upper Towanda depot. So far the chances are said to be in favor of East Towanda. The loca: tion of the station at the latter place would be a slight crumb of satisfaction to many of the resi- dents of Towanda, as in some res- pects it would be Tuch more con- at the upper end of the town. It is said that the decision of the Lehigh is based on the fact that the property owners asked prohibitive prices for land over which the requested route would of necessity pass. It is also said that the Lehigh has never looked upon the county seat as a paying proposition and that there were no prospects of receiving enough out of the town to warrant the expenditure of the moncy necessary to grant the request made by the Towanda business men RECOVERED LOOT Over $3000 worth of goods were stolen frome the wrecked cars at Falls on November 3.

This is a most important matter especially so far asit concerns the standing of the members of the fire depart- ment. Only those who are in good standing can vote at the depart- ment election and if a company is not reported by the secretary the members of such company will not be entitled to vote. ———— A se — MAKE THEIR REPORTS Members of the Fire Department Not Reported in Good Standing Will Not Be Allowed to Vote at Annual Election A mecting of the Firemen's Relief association was held in the Packer hose rooms last night. The members of the fire board had been requested to meet with the association but as the former failed to show up matters of joint interest were not disposed of. During the meeting, however, it developed that the secretaries of the various fire companies have not as yet reported to the fire board the standing of the members This is an important matter and the secretaries should attend to it at once. The rules provide that only members in good standing are entitled to vote at the depart. ment election which will occur on the first of the coming year. This! report should be made so as to be | handed in at the regular meeting | of the borough council which will | be held on Monday evening next Secsetarics who fail to make this report will bar their companies from participating in the election A SPLENDID PLAY COMING A Romance of Coon Hollow is one of the largest dramatic or- ganizations on the road.
