Hollidaysburg Messers. J. Luden Henry, John O'Neill and Edward S. Ritter, viewers appointed by the court to lay out a road, connecting the old Hollidaysburg turnpike with the Lakemont road held a special meeting on Saturday last, in regard to same. They decided that the new road should begin on the Hollidaysburg turnpike at a point where Good's land enters it from Eldorado, then along the line between the Lane and Campbell's farms, to the Lakemont road, entering it near the residence of Mr. James Fasic, just south of Lakemont. This improvement will be a great convenience to drivers who desire to reach Lakemont park and other points in that vicinity, inasmuch as the long drive around the old plank road crossing south of Llyswen can be eliminated.

Marsh reported that 322 boys and 283 girls, or a sum total of 605 pupils were attending the schools. The average attendance is 437, and the percentage of attendance is 94.
