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 South Street Mountain View Avenue 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 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 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 6:30 PM .
