'■ ' V DEVOTED TO THE TREE INTERESTS OF THE PEOPLE OF SENECA COUNTY SSSEGA FALIS, N. Y., THTIBSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1903, No. 25 The Village Trustees. The regular monthly meeting of the board of village trustees for Octo ber, was held Monday evening, with every member in his seat. About twelve hundred dollars in bills were audited and ordered paid, when money is in the various funds. Side walk permits were granted to Gr. B. Follett, Samuel S. Gould, A. O Lewis, Henry V. Matthews, Mrs. Julia A. Pollard, W. Frank Hoster. The report of the police justice for September, showing seven arrests, $18 paid in fines, $4.25 paid to village treasurer and balance on hand of $35, was read and ordered placed on file. The committee named to inves tigate the claim for damages to Man sell horse, were given an extension of time. \Under miscellaneous busi ness, Trustee Kent thought it was time the north approach to the Rum- sey street bridge should be filled and levelled. President Isenman agreed with him, and his opinion is shared by everyone who has occasion to drive over the bridge. The clerk read the option desired by the Lehigh \Val ley railroad company, along the river bank in the rear of Restvale cerae- -teries, in which the price agreed upon was one thousand dollars. It is stip ulated that the Lehigh shall maintain a substantial wall between the ceme tery land and the railroad land also to build a stone arch or culvert in the cemetery ravine ten feet in height and width, for the purpose of a driveway. The option was not executed, and President Isenman stated that the cemetery commission having for some reason failed to agree as to closing the option and making the succeed ing transfer of the land to the com pany, the matter had been left to the judgment of the board of trustees for a decision. The board'\by*a vole declared themselves in favor of grant ing the option, provided it did not interfere with burial places in the cemetery, the land desired by the company not being available for cem etery purposes. • Attorney E. G. Gould addressed the board in reference to the paths leading down the bank from the ends of Latham and Troup streets, which he stated had been used by the public for many years and were to all intents and purposes portions of those streets, requesting the board to take such action as shall preserve those paths for convenience of the public. Charles McKevitt spoke in the same vein and President Isenman stated that the m a t ter w o u ld , on acconnt of its public importance, be given a further hearing at a later meeting. The M, E.

At the meeting of Pomona Grange of Seneca county held at Waterloo, Saturday, the uppermost topic of dis cussion was the one thousand ton barge can a l b ill. Several able ad dresses were made in opposition to the bill and the speakers did not lack for sound and convincing arguments against the proposed naeasure. Tbe attendance was unusually large, chiefly on account of the interest felt among P a t r o n s o f H u s b a n d r y in the all engrossing canal question, and the sentiment was unanimous against the proposed enlargement. The following resolution in regard to highway con stru c tion w a s a lso adopted by a u n a n i mous vote: Resolved^ that this convention of Patrons of Husbandry, representative citizens and taxpayers of Seneca county, are opposed to the improve ment of roads under the Higbie Arm strong law as designated by the board of supervisors but are in favor of the improvement of highways by tax ation under the Fuller law.

P. B. Wells. A reception was held at six o’clock and a choice wedding dinner was served. The number of costly and elegant wedding presents, comprising silver, china, cut glass, linen and works of art, testified the esteem in which the bride is held by a large circle of friends.

They will take up their resi dence in New York City. International Fire Engine Company to be Reorganized. After several meetings of creditors and important stockholders it has been decided, according to the N. Y. Her ald, to reorganize the International Fire Engine company which is capital ized at $5,000,000. Charles E. Bocke, vice president, and George R. Bidwell, former collector of the port of New York and managing directcr of the combination, have resigned. The committee has been appointed for the purpose of drawing up a new scheme of capitalization and readjustment of the company’s finances and a report is expected in a few days. Dividends at the rate of 7 per cent were paid since 1901 on the preferred stock but it was found necessary to pass the declaration in August. The stock is not widely distributed. The company has a controlling interest in properties at Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Baltimore, Elmira and Seneca Falls, N. Y., St Paul, Minn., and Wor cester. Mas-'. The one dififlculty in the way of the successful operati-in of free mail de-’ livery, whether rural ornrban, is that everyone on a route cannot have his mail delivered first. The impossibil ity of accomplishing this causes many heart burnings and considerable bitter feeling. Personals. — E d w a r d G .

The steamer service on Cayuga lake during the past summer, under the excellent management of the Cayuga lake transportation company, has given general satisfaction to the tra veling public, and is a decided im provement, to an extent that passen ger travel has greatly increased. But the company is not satisfied and will build this winter and place in com mission next spring a steamer which will make the trip in three hours, and also install electric lights on all the steamers, and search lights. This new enterprise will add materially to the rapidly growing popularity of the most beautiful lake in the state.

The price is in marked contrast to the f 3,600 or more paid by the village of Seneca Falls for a system generally considered inferior to the Gamewell with only fou r teen boxes as against the sev e n t y five boxes for Depew. It is no wonder we have so few public improvements when they cost us so much more than other places have to pay. Angora wool tarns and baby bon nets at M rs . E. M. O ox -F baliok . Obituary.
