Two Hundred Back At Work In June Relief Efforts
Ninety years ago on June 8 1933 two hundred men employed on relief projects in the village returned to work after funding resumed. Supervisor John Soemann said the Board of Supervisors approved a 250000 loan to finance June projects including the Como Park pool and Ellicott road ditching. The lighting district dispute with New York State Gas and Electric Corp continued as officials cited falling revenues higher taxes and the 3 tax on the company as reasons for no concession. The Lancaster Civic Club again offers a 5 prize for top averages in the Lancaster high ninth grade and St Marys eighth grade. A Ukrainian society concert next Saturday gains Rotary Wheel support.
