VILLAGE NOTES. 

Dr. A. I. Cullen’s wireless apparatus was damaged by the wind during the gale on Tuesday, about six feet of one of the sixty-foot masts being broken off. The doctor says that the repairs will be slight, owing to the manner in which the poles were set up. The masts are constructed so they can be raised and lowered when desired.

LET’S CLEAN UP OUR
VILLAGE WATER 

What has become of the plan to filter our village water? About a year ago the matter was taken up by the Health officer and the Water Board, then composed of Dr. Jesse Crounse, Frank S. Lape, Eugene Sand, and William Righter. Communication was had, at that time, with several firms as to the cost of installing a filter plant of sufficient size to more than take care of a town of the present size of Altamont, and one firm wrote and specified that it could be done for less than $2,000. With necessary building in addition, the outlay would not exceed $2,300. 

Since then Messrs. Lape and Righter have left the Water Board, and it is hoped that the new board will take this under serious consideration with the Village Board so that it can be brought before the people for their vote at the next village election in March. 

Let us not wait until the state authorities step in and force the matter.

He was the father of Mr. Lucius Frederick of Schenectady and Mrs. Hattie A. Craw of Meadowdale. 

VOORHEESVILLE. 

Stanley Horner is recovering slowly from the injuries he suffered in an accident at the foundry when he burned one of his feet very badly with hot iron. He is said to get around with the aid of crutches, and expects soon to be out on the street. He is very thankful to his many friends who have been so kind to him during his long illness.
