VILLAGE NOTES. 

— The Altamont Motor Sales company has unloaded a car of “Fords” consisting of two runabouts, two touring cars, one sedan and a tractor. Another car load has just arrived. 

— The steel work of the new bridge over the Bozenkill creek at Becker’s on the Osborn’s Corners and Schenectady state highway, has been completed. A temporary plank floor has been put down, 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 Enterprise hall Monday evening, a basketball association was formed. It is planned to secure members for the organization, the membership fee being 50 cents. The purpose of the organization is to provide a basketball team to represent Altamont.

The team will play in Makely’s hall as soon as the improvements are completed.
