EAST BERNE, SUNNYSIDE 

The movement started by the Albany Chamber of Commerce for keeping the roads open this winter meets with the hearty approval of nearly all in this neck of the woods and a motion to that effect was carried unanimously at the last meeting of the (common) council held in Nat’s store. We unfortunate fellows who are compelled to stay winters as well as summers on this hump of the Helderbergs have agitated for years that a way should be found to compel all those absentee owners of property and those who move to town for the winter to kick in and help keep the roads open in winter, but, unfortunately the two men who decide such matters for this town have neither of them ever owned a horse nor an automobile and their business could always be transacted without ever getting foot out of doors, and they do pay tax so there you are.
