– Steel work on the new Bozenkill Creek bridge at Becker’s on the Osborn’s Corners and Schenectady state road is complete. A temporary plank floor has been laid, to be used until next spring when a concrete floor will replace it. The bridge is now open to traffic.

– At a meeting held in the Enterprise Hall on Monday night, a basketball association was formed. It is planned to get members for the organization, the membership fee being 50 cents. The goal of the organization is to provide a basketball team to represent Altamont.

The team will play in Makely’s room as soon as the upgrades are complete.
