Something of Eagles Mere's
Future.
Nothing can lie of more impor
tance to our Borough, and in fact to
every community in Sullivan county,
than a co-operation of effort in pub
lic affairs and hence we regard the
step forward made by our Council as
the possible beginning of a new era |
in our methods and possible progress, j
We have the privilege of giving
the Council proceedings at its last ;
meeting and perhaps it may be so
arranged that every subscriber to the
News Item may keep posted on our
municipal affairs and even of the
Public School progress through its
columns. It will be well if it should
come to pass.
At the Council meeting President
Dunham was in thechair and Messrs.
Little, ('. A. Brink, F. W. Peale,
Kehrer, Vanßuskirk and H.J.Smith
were present.
The following bills were approved
and ordered paid, E. S. Chase for

For work on streets, (j. W. Smith !
88 cents, W. Andrews #2.10, A. Ben- \
nett SB.IO, E. L. Smith $1.50.
Bill of New York Belting iV Pack-1
ing Co. was laid on the table until!
110-e eouldjbe tested. A. C. [Little j
called attention to the very bad con-J
dition of some of the streets.
The Eight committee reported
that they had granted the petition of;
Mr. Warner and that the three ad- j
ditional street lamps had been in
stalled on Lakewood Drive. There
port was adopted. The Light Com. ;
handed in a check from Wr. Warner
for #5.00 as bis promised contribu
tion toward the cost of the three
lights for this season.
The EireJCon unit tee reported the
purchase of 500 feet of standard 2 J
inch hose but had not yet met the j
officers of the Water Co. in regard to
the rate to be paid for the fuse ofl
water for tire purposes. The report |
was accepted and approved.
Engineer Chase reported the Lake- \
side sewer out of order and the Sec-1
retary was directed to advise Messrs.
Kirk A Son to have the same repair- j
(HI.
A communication was received
from Mr. Kirk asking to have the
weeds and Golden Itod, that makes j
trouble for our Hay Fever visitors,
cut so as to prevent them going to
seed*and a resolution was passed
making misappropriation of #in. for:
that purpose.
The following resolutions were
presented and adopted:
Whereas the Council of the Boro.
of Eagles Mere believe that it should .
be the policy of the Borough to seek
constant improvement from year to!
year by such methods as will impose!
no serious burden either on individ
uals, corporations or of the munici
pality, and
\\ liereas one method of sivuring
such improvement is by the gradual I
elimination of unsightly buildings, j
objectionable practices, unsanitary!
conditions and such similar matters!
as far as it can be done without hard
ship to the parties concerned, and
W liereas the Land Company's Ice
House is now in such a dilapitated j
condition as to make a rebuilding:
absolutely necessary, therefore,
Resolved, that we ask the co-oper
ation of the Land Co. in carrying out
tin- herein defined policy to the ex-!
tent of removing the old Ice House j
from the One hundred feet Reserva- j
tion and placing it on the property !
of the Company, and that we urge
upon the Company the erection of j
such a building as will be ample to.
supply the wants of the community 1 ,
and of such a character as will be at | 1
once sightly and a credit to both the |
Company and Eagles Mere. j
.Resolved, that the Secretary be di-!
rected to send a copy of these pre
ambles and resolutions to the Pres j'
ident of the Land Company and of j j
the Boat Company. j,
A communication was presented;
asking the Council to co-operate with i
the Land Co. and the Railroad Co. j'
in securing improvements for the '
railroad station and the improve- '
ment of the surroundings of the Lily
Pond and a committee was appoint, i j
ed to confer with the Land Co. and i
Railroad Co. and to report at the '
first meeting of Council. The Com
mittee consists of C. A. Brink, Chair- ]
man, and Messrs. E. S. Chase and I

ings as marking the possibility of"

manifested by all the interests con

right time in the year to take it up

done so much more to the advan

Erlln Wrought by Alcohol.
I Evils of drink are not of recent dis
covery. They are spoken of In Isaiah,
but not so much was known about
them then ns now. Yet the mischief
caused by the use of alcohol was
wrought then as It is today. Some peo
ple advance the argument that no hurt
arises from a little drink, but it is a
false argument.—Rev. J. W. Moore,
Methodist, Akron, O.
