HOW DOES EAST BETHEL SOUND?

A H. Dimond has moved his house and
 barn on to new foundation. He leaves
 clean corner which he laid out for a
 lawn where he expects to build new
 home at some future time. MT Dimond's 8
 new farm is one of the finest ridges in
 the town. A large part of it can be laid
 out into fine building lots. The exten-
 sion of the borough limits takes in the
 homestead and part of the farm. The street leading north from the four cor
 ners is to be widened, the street south leads to Putnam Park and through Wolf Pits
 district. The trolley will soon be ex- tended to near that place. East Bethel | will be an appropriate name for this part of the borough. The north and south street should be called Park avenue.
 The road east will be the extension of
 Milwakee to Elmwood road.
 | Plumtrees is once more place of quictness and peace.

 A regular meeting of the school board was held in Warden Durant's new office,
