ENORMOUS DAM
AT BRIDGEVILLE

The big dam project which has
been going on at Hackledam, two
miles below Bridgeville, for the past
two years is about to- be eliminated.
In the spring extensive operations
will begin and the work is ex-
pected to be completed in at least
two years.
The New York G. New Jersey Pow
er company have purchased all the
adjoining property including rights
of way, etc., and will spend $4,000
900 in the extensive development of
electric power from this plant, which
will furnish power for all the viii
lagos in this section.
The proposed dam will back the
water up about ten miles, or just a
short ways below Fallsburgh. They
will also bore through the mountains
at Westbrookville so as to have the
station located at that point. The
highway at Bridgeville for quite a
distance will have to be changed and
new bridge built that will cost
100000. The town board met at
Bridgeville on Saturday and gave the
company the privileges desired pro-
viding they would build the new road
and the bridge. A branch railroad
will also be built that will connect
with the o. & w. somewhere be-
tween Monticello and Valley juno
tion to carry in supplies, ETC., for the
work.

HONESDALE WANTS A FOUNDRY
Work Now Has to Be Sent Out of
TOwn-Gurney Electric Elevator
Co. Does Not Make a Spec
ialty of Jobbing.

Honesdale is in need of a jobbing
foundry.
Numerous orders which could be
filled in this place are either sent out
of the county to other cities or exc
cuted at the Gurney Electric Eleva-
tor plant. Owing to their fast in
creasing business the latter COM
pany is not advertising for this line
of trade, having all they can do to
look after their own interests.
A foundry that would take care
of and exclusively look after the in
terests of its patrons would do a
good business. The field is large
enough here for a good-sized plant.
The more complete it could be equip
ped the better 1t would be for the
town and those who might be direct
ly interested.
Let the matter be taken up with
the Greater Honesdale Board of
Trade.

PARCEL POST WELL RECEIVED
Honesdale Postoffice Did Big Busi-
ness During 15-Day Test-Deliv-
cries to be Made Following 10
O'Clock ID. & III. Mail.

At the close of the fifteen-day test
of the parcel post system, ending on
Wednesday, January 18th, there
were 513 separate packages sent out
of Honesdale and 685 parcels re-
ceived. The total sale of parcel post
stamps from the Honesdale office
totaled S67.34.
The above report was given Citi-
zen representative Thursday morn
ing by Deputy Postmaster G. j. Kel-
There is steady advance in the par
eel post business. This has been
demonstrated here during the past
week when the number of packages
more than doubled the first weeks
business. The total receipts from
stamps during the first seven days
was $31.34. These figures show a
decided increase of business over the
Carbondale postoffice, where sale of
parcel post stamps summed up
$500.
The Honesdale postoffice force,
which consists of four clerks and the
deputy postmaster, has been rushed
with work since the installation of
the new system. Extra clerks have
been added a few hours each day
to deliver and take care of the pack
ages. Wednesday morning a large
wagon load was received. After the
distribution of the 10 o'clock Della
ware and Hudson mail parcel post
deliveries will be made.
Parcel post has proven to be a
success. 1t has filled a long felt
want and is the peoples friend.

CONCERNING AMIESITE PAVE
Letter From Former Mayor of Ba-
tavia, N. Y.-Thinks Amiesite
Will Solve Paving Ques-

The Citizen has been presented
with letter from Willis D. Sanford,
former mayor of Batavia, N. Y,
relative to using Amiesite as a pave
in place of brick. The letter was
written to P. H. Shelton, Jr., who
formerly resided in that city.
Amiesite was laid on State street,
Batavia, several hundred feet. 1t
was put down under most unfavor-
able conditions, just before the an
nual fair, quoted Mr. Sanford. He
continues by writing that it looks
more than good to him and believes
that it has solved the Batavia paw
ing problem. In any event Amiesite
is cheaper than brick or asphalt and
costs from 81 to $1.50 per running
foot. This, Mr.. Sanford claims, de-
pends upon conditions and the size
of the contract. 1t is very easily
repaired, that being demonstrated
on State street, Batavia.
During his absence from Homes
dale ]. D. Weston expects to go to
Wilmington, Del, and inspect the
piece of Amiesite road that was laid
in that city eight years ago.

BUILD UP LOCAL DISPENSARY
General Treatment Given to Suffer-
ing tuberculosis Patients-Has
Helped Many-State Ex-
hibit Next Month,

The Honesdale dispensary for the
prevention of tuberculosis is free
institution, being one of the several
places established by the Depart
ment of Health, under DR.. S. G. Dix
on, after he was appointed to this
important Office in 1906. The dis
pensary is under the local supervis-
ion of DR.. L. B. Nielsen, county med
ical inspector. Miss Alice Chubb, of
Harrisburg, who also has tho Car
bondale dispensary in charge, is
special nurse for the Honesdale in
stitution.
The local dispensary is open once
week between the hours of l and
o'clock, the special day being
Tuesday. Persons who feel that they
have the least bit of trouble or fear
tuberculosis should at once apply to
the Honesdale dispensary for the
prevention of tuberculosis and re-
ceive general treatment. To parties
who cannot afford it, free treatment
will be given. 1t is charitable
work and 1t is not intended to con-
fiict with the practicing physicians,
although it is admitted that they,
too, do a considerable amount of
work for charity.
When a patient is received at the
dispensary chart is made giving his
name, address, weight, date of entry
and discharge. The institution fur
nishes supplies for suitable cases.
When too i'll to prevent coming to
the dispensary for treatment, Miss
Chubb will call upon the patients at
their homes. At one time Homes
dale's dispensary had quite a large
patronage. 1t is the purpose of
County Medical Inspector Nielsen
and Miss Chubb to build up the dis
pensary and help all they can who
may be afflicted with this disease.
Miss Chubb told a Citizen represen-
tative that one of the patients who
has been under treatment for the
past few months is nearly we'll and
will soon be discharged from the
local dispensary.
On or about February 18th next
a state exhibit under the supervision
of DR.. w. G. Miller will be made in
Honesdale. The display occupies
nearly a car capacity and Is claimed
to be most interesting and instruc-
tive. The place for making the

PUBLIC SCHOOL OF STATE TO
EXHIBIT WORK
Hoped That Wayne County Will
Contribute-Agricul and In
dustrial Work to be Shown at
Philadelphia.

The Department of Superintend-
ents of the National Education As
sociation will meet in Philadelphia
during the last week in February.
In connection with this meeting
there will be an agricultural and in
dustrial exhibit, the purpose of which
is to show how the varied agricul-
tural and industrial needs are be-
ing met in the different states and
to emphasize the value of this work
in the public schools.
This will be especially interesting
to Pennsylvania superintendent and
teachers as the various forms of
vocational education are about to
be extensively developed in this
state.
The industrial work of the city
and borough elementary schools, and
the agricultural work of the rural
schools will be we'll represented.
Boys agricultural clubs and girls
cooking and sewing clubs are send
ing in material from all parts of the
country. The girls canning clubs
of the southern states will have ex-
hibits.
Inasmuch as this meeting is to be
lSlu Ill Ill Jul Omh
state, it is expected that Pennsylva-
MAS schools will be well repre-
sented in the exhibit. 1t is hoped
that many schools from Wayne coun-
ty will contribute specimens of the
work of their pupils. In many cases
only one article will come from a
school but it will be as valuable as
though there were ten of them. All
communications concerning the ag-
ricultural exhibits should be ad
dressed to L., H. Dennis, expert as
sistant in Agricultural Education,
Department of Public Instruction,
Harrisburg, Pa, and those referring
to the industrial exhibits to M. B.
King, expert assistant in Industrial
Education, Department of Public
Instruction, Harrisburg, Pa.
The exhibits should be sent di-
rect to Philadelphia by express or
parcels post and addressed to one of
the above named men.
They should reach Philadelphia by
February IS, 1918.
