MEETING OF
T
OWN
COUNCIL
Nothing the Matter With
Lake Lodore
ROUTINE BUSINESS DISPOSED
OF AND 92702.15 WORTH OF
HILLS PAID.
" The Council don't think there Is
anything the matter with Lake Lo
dore, and If the Honesdale Improve
ment Society thinks there Is they
can report the matter to the State
authorities.
Such was the action taken at the
October meeting of the Town Coun
cil, last Thursday evening, when the
matter of the condition of Lake Lo
dore was brought up for discussion,
following the statement of President
Caufleld that the president of the
Improvement Society was consider
ably worried about the condition of
the Lake Lodore dam, in view of
the recent tragedy at Austin.
One of the councilmen remarked
that he had talked to a lawyer about
the matter, and tho attorney sug
gested that the Secretary of the
Town Council ought to write to the
Water Commission at Harrisburg
about it, as there were two pretty
big bodies of water up there on tho
-mountain, and if hoth should give
way some of those up town would
catch It.
The majority of the borough lath
ers seemed, however, to think there
could be no possible danger from
the threatened breaking of the dam,
and spoke of a similar hue and cry
raised many years ago about the
Lake Lodore dam, when tho council
went so far as to. send a man up
there to examine the breakwater
construction. Nothing satisfactory
ever came from his report, and it
cost the borough $25 for his ser
vices. The general impression seemed to
be that in the remote event of the
breaking of the dam, the water
would all be dissipated before it got
to Honesdale. One councilman even
went so far as to say, that, in his
opinion, the State Examiners were
not more practical than the men
here, as .many of them held their
jobs as political appointees.
Bills and claims amounting to
$2,762.45 were ordered paid, large
items of which were the following:
Seaman, Irwin and Brenneman, for
stone used on County Seat streets,
$2002.13; Light company bill, $264.
49. The meeting was called to order
by President Caufleld at 8:09 p. m.
when all the members answered to
their names at roll call. Others
present at the session were: Street
Commissioner Lawrence Weidner,
Attorney P. H. Iloff, Chief Engineer
John M. Lyons, Christie Rabbltt and
representatives of the Scranton

Mr. Penwarden reported that all
the bank notes had been paid off;
and that there -were no floating
debts except the hills for current ex
penses.
Lawyer Iloff, attorney for Mrs.
Maggie Stengel, Spring street, ap
peared before the council asking on
behalf of his client, that the sewer
on West street be extended 75 feet
to her corner property. The rea
sons ue assigned in urging the
councilmen to grant her request
were as follows:
" Mrs. Stengel," he said, " was
one of the five or six original con
structors of the sewer on West
street. Subsequently tho borough
took over this sewer. Those Ave or
six persons each paid $25 to build
tho sower. Mrs. Stengel asks that
the sewer ho extended to the corner
property. She thought sho should
be entitled to an extension up to the
corner house. 'She Is willing to pay
$25 for tho extension."
Mr. Iloff further declared that he
was going to bring suit against the
borough if the council didn't lay the
sewer. "We're like the game cock,"
ho said. "Wo are willing to fight if
we aren't treated right.
"Airs. Stencol." he o.nntinued.
" has a good cause for action in tho
changing of the grade There was
a cut oi tnree or lour feet in front
of her place. If she wished she
could bring a nice suit."
Tho president assured Mr. Iloff
that the council would give hlra a
decided answer within a week, and
the breezy incident was closed.
The committee on testing tne nro
plugs, consisting of Councilman Pen
warden and Chief Engineer John M.
Lyons, reported that they had test
ed all the plugs in the borough,
Wednesday afternoon, and found
them all O. K., save the one at Main

AND THE, COUNTY
Bright Outlook for Devel
opment of Lackawaxen
Valley
CONDITIONS ARE RIPE FOR A
RIGGER, 1IETTER AND BUS
IER TOWN.
The Honesdale Citizen heartily
endorses a bigger, better and busier
Honesdale and Wayne county; the
development of the Lackawaxen
Valley or anything that means more
business for dear old Wayne.
Honesdale Is the home of a half
hundred varied Industries and its
Wheels in the different mills and
shops hum from morning till night.
Industrially Honesdale is far ahead
of other towns and cities. Parties
at different times In their lives who,
by the turn of the tide of circum
stances 'have loft Honesdale, invari
able return to this place to make
their fortune and live the balance of
their lives In their home town.
The opportunities afforded In
Honesdale and Wayne county are
many and diversified. There are
several waterpowers developed and
others possible of development.
Within a few miles of Honesdale a
dam is being constructed for the
largest power In this section of the
country and in the State of Pennsyl
vania, that of harnessing the waters
of "the Wallen-Paupack river. This
will Insure cheap power, which alone
will be an Incentive to locate in
Honesdale. Another wise precaution
to consider regarding the possibility
of the breaking of the dam of this
mammouth lake Is that Honesdale
is several feet higher than the site of
the overflow of the water and con
sequently would do away with, any
possible flood or danger. Locate in
Honesdale and be on the safe side.
It Is In Honesdale that free sites are
offered by the Greater Honesdale
Board of Trade to any new industry
locating within its boundaries or in
Texas township. Sites can be secur
ed on elthgr the Erie or Delaware
arid',Hnds6n railroad entering Hones
dale. There are no strings attached
to the sites offered by the Board
of Trade, but they are offered abso
lutely free to the prospecive manu
facturer. Since the census of 1900 several
industries have been established and
located in Honesdale.

TREASURY BROKE ANOTHER
RECORD.
October established a record for
the number of checks issued in a
month by the State Treasury, th
books of the department indicating
that in twenty-three business days no
less than 3,853 checks were drawn
after warrants had been presented
from the Auditor General's Depart
ment. The best previous record was
about 3,000.
The bulk of the checks were drawn
In the latter half of tho month when
warrants in payments of salaries of
judges and various appropriations
were presented in addition to heavy
disbursements on account of school
appropriations. Over $3,000,000 of
the school appropriation has bon is
sued and over a million more will go
out shortly. Tho aggregate of th
disbursements by the Treasury for all
purposes last month was $3,585,650.
12, th.e receipts being $3,310,822.13.
Tho receipts were, unusually high for
October, owing to the fact that a
number of settlements of corpora
tion taxes were made In that month
instead of being made in September.
