Sltf. TORREY PARK. Name of Honcndalc's New Park, Land of Which Was Donated by Mrs. Andrew Thompson Council in accepting the donation of a new park site from Mrs. An drew Thompson recently, very grace fully acknowledged the town's debt to her and the past generations of her family. The offer of the land was made in the following letter: "Mrs. Andrew Thompson desires in this informal way to offer to the chief burgess and assistant burgess and town council of the borough of Honesdale the accompanying deed, believing that Its acceptance will contribute to .the pleasure of Hones dale residents, and make our town more attractive to its visitors. "Mrs. Thompson begs leave to state that tho fence enclosing the herein described land, Is reserved by the previous owners for use else where and will be removed at their earliest convenience. "A kindly desire expressed by "The Citizen," to recognize the giver in the selection of a name for this park, leads Mrs. Thompson to give ex pression to her wish, that if no borough action has reserved the name of Torrey park for the plot of land donated by Stephen Torrey at the intersection of North Main and West streets, that this name be ap plied to this new park, and that the name North park be retained for the above mentioned gift of Stephen Torrey, as seems to have been his desire. This appears the more de sirable, as at a meeting of your coun cil held March 5, 1888, you passed resolutions accepting Stephen Tor rey's gift with its designation as North park and a copy of this reso lution is filed with his papers. Will you kindly investigate this matter and if possible consider the donor's desire to dedicate the park to the memory of Major Jason Torrey." September 28, 1909, a motion was made and seconded that the follow ing resolutions, be drawn up and that the same be spread on minutes of council: "Whereas, Honesdale is deeply In debted to Jason Torrey and his de scendants, not only for the original establishment of the municipality as the metropolis and county seat of Wayne, but its subsequent develop ment and prosperity, and, "Whereas, To the religious and moral trend of the Torrey family, from the advent of its founder to the present day, many of the churches in the borough are indebted for the site upon which its house of wor ship was built and its 'God's acre' respected; and "Whereas, The public education al Institutions of the borough are un der admitted obligations to the same source for gifts of many of the lots upon which their buildings were erected; and "Whereas, Central park and the court house grounds were the joint gift of Jason Torrey and the Dela ware and Hudson Canal company, while Riverside and North parks were presented to the borough by his honored son, the late Rev. Stephen Torrey, and another descendant, Mrs. Andrew Thompson, daughter of the late Hon. John Torrey, has now generously tendered to the borough the gift of tho valuable plot between West Park street and Park lake as an additional public park, thus adding another and permanent feature to the attraction of the borough, therefore be It "Resolved, By the burgess and the town council of the borough of Honesdale, in regular session assem bled, on this seventh day of October, 1909, that the gift from Mrs. An drew Thompson of the plot abovo mentioned, conditioned upon its maintenance by the municipal au thorities as a public park, Is hereby thankfully accepted; and further "Resolved, that a copy of these preambles and resolutions be pre sented the donor, and the same be spread upon the minutes of the coun cil as a durable record by the official board of their appreciation of the benefactions heretofore bestowed upon the town by the Torrey family, and now crowned by tho generous gift under consideration.

LAKE ARIEL TO RE SOLD. Syndicate Headed by W. L. Connell Will Likely Become the Pur chasers. Friday the option held by a syn dicate headed by William L. Con nell, of Scranton, and a number of other financiers on the Lake Ariel property of Mrs. Charles H. Schadt expired, but the option has been ex tended for the purpose of purchase. The consideration is in tho neigh borhood of ?90,000. When the option expired the rep resentatives of Mr. Connell and par-; ty and Mrs. Schadt talked the mat ter over and a satisfactory arrange ment made. The Lake Ariel property contains 400 acres of ground under the lake and 400 acres of land bordering on the lake. There are three hotels, the Lake House, the Old Pine and the Columbia, all in pretty good condi tion. The ice privileges are very valuable and are worth many thous ands of dollars annually. The property was purchased by the late Sheriff Charles H. Schadt, P. J. Horan and M. J. Healey and subse quently the two latter sold out to Mr. Schadt. Some years ago the Erie, owing to an accident on a single track road to Greenwood Lake de cided to discontinue excursions on single track roads, and Lake Ariel fell under the ban with other re sorts. The property deteriorated somewhat after that, and of late but one hotel, the Lake House, has been open to guests. With the construc tion of an electric road either of the third rail type or of a high power overhead trolley kind the lake would become a valuable piece of property, and many regard it is a moneymaker of the first water.
