Great Bend - Hasbrook Hill, a mile east of this place, which has been the terror of motorists traveling between Oakland, Susquehanna and Great Bend, will be anything but dangerous when the new concrete road is completed. The plan calls for a change at a point where the bridge crosses the brook at the foot of the hill. By widening the road at the point and cutting off about 15 ft. of the hill, and swinging toward the Jackson home at the top of the hill, “Old Hasbrook” will be forgotten. The new road will run close to the side of the house at the top of the hill. Other dangerous curves and places will be eliminated by the new road.

Montrose - Chief of police Tingley was badly injured while attempting to arrest several men who were driving without lights. The car passed through town and he called for them to stop. As the car continued on in the direction of Fairdale, the chief directed Victor Parks to follow them in his car. Parks succeeded in passing the car near the Faron farm and swung the machine across the road. Chief Tingley, not waiting for the car to come to a complete stop, stepped off to intercept the fugitives. Not gauging the speed of Parks’ car, he was thrown to the pave, on his head. The men in the approaching machine helped get the unconscious officer into Parks’ car and then drove on, but not without Parks getting their license number. Tingley was taken to his home and for several days was in a precarious condition. His condition has now improved and recovery is hopeful. The license plate was traced to two men from Binghamton, but the ownership of the car is not vested in these parties, they having sold it without a formal legal transfer and now the former owners are liable under NY state laws. ALSO The 17th annual Bible Conference is generally regarded as the best all around conference ever held here. The speakers were among the very best, while the interest in the meetings was manifestly great throughout. The attendance for Sunday was around 2,000, with the average daily attendance of 500.
