VILLAGE NOTES.
– The company Altamont Motor Sales unloaded a car from “Ford” made up of two runabouts, two passenger cars, a sedan and a tractor. Another car has just arrived.
– 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. It is a very laudable object, and one which should have the support of all those who are interested in our young people and their maintenance here. The team will play in Makely’s room as soon as the upgrades are complete.
