effort to prevent the licensing of a
hotel at Cranberry Lake, a resort
being built up by the d. l.. 4 w. r..
r. Cranberry Lake is miles from
Newton and why the Record assisted
by the w. c. r. U. should make
such a fuss over what does not con-
cern them puzzles many. What a

Reports from the various shad
fisheries along the Delaware all claim
to be having great luck and say that
the fish caught are of good size. A
net may be all right in the Delaware
but the writer with others filed a
petition with the State Fish Commits
sioner for permission to catch suckers
with net and he failed to respond,
consequently those suckers we wanted
are swimming around yet and that
commissioner is out Of his job.
The freeze on Friday night put an

and 8 feet deep, which when complet-
ed will remove all cause Of complaint.
Work commenced upon the pool on
Saturday by Contractor VanBuren.
