Fol- (Continued on page tw o ) The electric light pole in the tri angle at the junction of Elizabeth and Cross streets and the West Hollow road was removed last Fri day afternoon, thus eliminating a traffic hazard—and, incidentally, removing a hazard for the young folks who prill want to coast on old \Bob Nick” next winter. If some regulation of automobile traffic is imposed, “Bob Nick” will be safer for its fascinating winter sport than it ever was before. It will be remembered that the town well (some sixty feet deep, and about three feet- wide) was a threat to safety in the days before the electric light pole was set there. One night when the hill was a glare of ice the Gehrig boys’ coast- er failed to negotiate the curve in to Cross Street, and knocked the bucket pump off from the well,! and the boys were spared from disaster only because they had two sleds connected by a plank. The j .plank spanned the- top of the well, and the boys retained' their po^ | sitions astride the plank. On an other night, despite the vigilance of his companions who’ were watch ing for traffic, “Jim\ Veriiiilye and his schooner slid through between the hoofs of a team of horses that were passing the corner; “Jim” escaped with only a minor bump on his head, and‘promptly return ed to the “old pine” to start his hext ride. Thousands of young folks, and many older ones, have coasted hundreds of thousands of hours, on old Bob Nick, and, so far as we know, there has never been a seri ous accident—and very, very few minor ones. The pole removed last Friday afternoon was of cedar, and was known as “No. 261\. It had car ried the load of electric power for the business section of the village ever since electricity came to Na ples twenty-four years ago. It was set on June 13, 1914, by Har ry H. Simmons, the contractor who built the line into Naples for the Wayne Power Company, assisted by Reuben H. Martin and Arthur Parks. When changes in owner ship of the power company took place, Mr. Martin and Mr. Parks retained their positions, and last Saturday they, with Theodore Noble, were in charge of the work. Mr. Simmons also was present, having come from Honeoye Falls to witness the removal of the pole which he set on his birthday twen ty-four years ago. Mayor Harry W. Otto and1 Trustees John C. Bolles and Fred D. Delbridge, of the Village Board, and several oth er citizens were there last Satur day, and a number of pictures were taken. Roger Mahone, aged 93 years, was one of the party present. Mr. Simmons brought his old construction records with him. It may interest some of our read ers to learn that the first electric light furnished in Naples by a util ity company was turned on at -7:49 p. m. on Wednesday, Sep tember 2, 1914, at “pole city,” the Wayne Power Company’s sub-sta tion at the corner of Main and (Continued on pace four) PLANS APPROVED FOR .

HERBERT LfeHMAN RE-ELECTED GOVERNOR Entire Democratic State Ticket Carried. Republicans Make Some Gains Throughout die Na tion. Throughout the United States, in general, the Republicans made substantial gains in yesterday’s elections, but the Democrats will still have large majorities in both houses of Congress. Republicans gained ten governorships. The Democrats elected their en tire state ticket in New York State, Governor Lehman apparently hav ing a margin of about 70,000 votes over his Republican oppon ent, Thomas Dewey. There were several up-sets throughout the country. In Penn sylvania the Republicans defeated Governor Earle, candidate for U. S. Senator, and also carried the slate ticket. Governor Philip La^ Follette, of Wisconsin, was defeat ed by his Republican opponent, thus ending a long-time LaFollette rule. In Ontario County, the Republi cans elected their entire ticket, as usual. Monroe County went Republi can for the first time in several years. Rochester carried its day light saving proposition by a small majority. The towns of Prattsburgh and Potter voted dry.
