BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT PLAN ANNOUNCED
East Farewell- Town Council President Tom Conally announced an ambitious business development plan for the town at Tuesday’s meeting. The plan encompasses the entire downtown district that is bordered by Lake Shore Drive, West Avenue, South Street and Mountain View Avenue. The plan calls for an overhaul of the traffic system including two new traffic lights, sidewalks on Mountain View
“We hope that by making these improvements our business district will draw more customers and make East Farewell even more popular as a “Destination Location.” He was referring to the award that was bestowed on the town last year by the Mighty Keystone Railroad. “It is the intent of this Council to make East Farewell an even more wonderful place than it already is. These improvements will not only enhance the town but also add commerce and vitality to our little bit of heaven,” said Conally.
The project will be split into phases. Phase 1 will include the installation of traffic lights on the corners of all the numbered streets and West. Phase 2 will install new lighting on the corners of all the intersections as well as down Main and down Lake Shore Drive. Phase 3 will be installing sidewalks on Mountain View
All along the railroad line it has become a bit of a competition to try to outdo the town down the line. All the towns have embarked on varying degrees of improvement projects; Southport is installing sidewalks and lights, Mountain View is “sprucing up” its Main Street and Fort Lee is adding traffic lights and lighting. With the improvements the entire line will be in much better shape to face the growing populations and increased civic needs down the road.

COUGARS LOSE IN OVERTIME TO SLATE MOUNTAIN
“They were a great team and played a tough game,” said Coach Wilson, “We played with them and I think if we played them tomorrow we would win. We matched up against them and I think Fitzy (Ted Fitzgerald) and Welsh (Jimmy Welsh) just got better as the game went on. We just ran out of time. I think if we were able to get the ball in and down court Fitzy would have put one in to tie it again. Greeny and Billy O were just great underneath but they had some tough guys too. That Rudolph was super and that big kid, Clothier (Charles Clothier), I think, was just as good as anybody I have seen in this league. I can’t wait to play them again later in the season, we will be ready for them”
The Cougars play again Friday evening at home against the Riverview Wildcats. The game will be in the gymnasium and the Boy Scouts will be holding a raffle at halftime to raise money for the troop. The game starts at .
