HILLsDALE ASSOCIATION.
Endorsement Of School Reorganization
Other Business Transacted


The Hillsdale Citizens Association, upon
resumption of it's meetings Monday even
ing following the summer recess, voted to
indorse the action of the board Of educa-
ton and of DIR. Chancellor. the superiri-
tendent of the public schools, as to the
appointments made by them and the method
Of filling high school principalships through
competitive examination. There was dis
cussion by several members of the associa-
ton regarding this subject, but unanimity
Of opinion prevailed to the extent noted
The matter was discussed by President
j. B. Anderson. E. s. Hoffman, chairman
of the commtte on public schools, and by
Rev. c. H. Parker, who. later. presented
a resolution, which was adopted, embodying
the views of the various speakers as ia
vorable to Superintendent Chancellor and
the board of education, and declaring the
schools should be kept clean and at a
high standard John Harris also Endorsed
what the present officials had done. Sec
rotary r. U. Wilkinson was directed to
see that the board and the superintendent
were furnished with copy.
The condition of the streets of Hills
dale was made the subject Of some vigorous
remarks. Mr.. Parker declared it was dis
graceful that repairs were not made Mat
thew Taylor said Sheridan avenue was be-
low grade its whole length, and that during
recent rain storms it was necessary to oper-
ate a wagon along the thoroughfare to
carry people back and forth. e. s. Hoff-
man described the village as a second
Johnstown after the flood" President An
derson said he had noted dangerous con6i-
lions along Stickfoot creek, where the
water has undermined several homes. and
where trees hang dangerously from the
banks Mr.. Parker introduced resolution
calling upon the Commissioners to secure
an appropriation Of $4,000 for the i'm
provement of the streets Of Hillsdale. He

repair work having been done. The reso-
luton was adopted.
Mention was made of the fact that Com
missioner Mcfarland had been invited last
season to make an address before the as
ISOLATION, but that he had been prevented
owing to press of business at the time.
Several speakers expressed the opinion that
the Commissioners should visit Hlllsdale
on a tour of inspection, which matter was
referred to the executive committee for &C
ton.
On motion of Matthew Taylor. the secre-
tary was instructed to ask the Commits
sioners to take immediate steps to have
Sheridan and Stanton avenues improved,
it being represented that the late rains
had badly washed the surface Of the two
highways.
Secretary Wilkinson read a communica-
ton from the Commissioners in which 1t
was stated that 1t will not be practicable
to cover over the creek in the line of STAN
ton avenue on account Of the cost involved.
While Stanton avenue will be kept in good
repair, it was stated. the traffic does not
warrant the expanding of the large amount
of money involved in placing a culvert and
All over the creek It Is recognized, the
letter continued. that 1t Is desirable to
gravel Summer avenue as far as B street
and this will be done as soon as practicable.
Another letter was submitted from the
Commissioners containing the information
that, in response to request Of the associa-
ton. approximately twenty-one incandes-
cent electric lamps will be erected on Sheri-
dan avenue between the last lamp erected
and Hamilton road; four will be put up on
Stanton avenue between the last lamp and
Sheridan avenue, and approximately fve
will be erected on Douglass avenue running
east from Stanton avenue. Regarding the
proposition for resurvey Of the streets In
Barry farm the Commissioners wrote that
data had been gathered during the summer
months in regard to Barry farm and litho-
graphs made of the same, showing all the
various holdings with dimensions Of the
same.
On account of the extra work at the pres
ent time in preparing plats for assess
ment purposes, 1t was stated, 1t will not
be possible to finish any plats for signature
and donation Of streets in Barry farm until
after the first of November.

water. The place has thus been the means of
saving many lives. 1t has also been useful IN
