IMPROVE THE TOWN. ONE OF THE PRIME REQUISITES IS CLEANLINESS. Beauty ml Neatness Tend to Promote Good Health Sonthampton, N. T, 8U Good Example Benefits of Organised Effort A Modal Village. One of the most active and beneficent Tillage Improvement associations in New York, if not in the country, is to be found at Southampton. The associa tion was formed in 1884, and most of the prominent business men of the place are included iu its membership. The ob Joct of the association is clearly stated in its bylaws : "The Southampton Village Improve ment association is formed to encourage, promote and carry on projects for the beautifying of the village of Southamp ton. "The village being now noted for its salubrity, and for the existence of con ditions in a high dogree favornblo to health, it will be a primary object of tho association to take all necessary moasures to keep its high sanitary rep utation. To that end it will make efforts to exclude any source of disease or con tagion, to especially insist that the lake and waters are kept pore and free from possible contamination by erroneous plans of sewerage, and to aid in enforc ing all regulations of the local or state board of health. "It is further the object of the asso ciation to encourage and promote meas ures for local improvement in the building or laying out of walks or roads, the planting and preserving of trees and turf, the adoption of other plans for beautifying the village and for increas ing its facilities of access. "The association dopends for its funds upon small annual or other dues from its members, and npon donations from those interested in the maintenance of its pluiis. " How well the association has succeed ed in its work is evidenced in the model village, which is the result largely of its labors. Sidewalks in perfect condi tion, streets sprinkled, roads kept in re pair and beautified with shade trees, pa vilions and docks built around the Aga wam lake shore, signboards erected at street crossings, are ainoDg some of the results of the society's work. Points of interest in the village and vicinity are designated by signs, bearing a brief in scription of bistorio facts. Forinstanoe, the original settlement of the village called Old Town, where the first settlers of the town erected houses in 1640, is marked with a sign telling of that fact. The first cemetery in the town is thus designated: "Old Southampton Burying Ground. Opened 1640." The site of the first ohuroh, which was erected in 1648 to also described to visitors in the same manner, and the old fort used during the Revolutionary war also bears a tablet marking its location. The wood drives north of the village are also provided with guideboards. Besidos these, several of the society employees were kept busy during the summer months patrolling the principal streets in the village for the purpose of removing waste paper, stones and other objectionable matter, and neatly painted barrels are plucod at convenient point, about the villuge bearing the inscrip tion, "For the sake of neatness, deposit wuste paper heroin. The average minimi amount paid in by members of the society during the past ten years is uboutf-iOO, but during the post season the funds were niutoriul ly iucreused by an equestrian exhibition given by the cottagers, the sum uotted being neurly $(100, and further by a bi cycle meet, which added 4!)0 to the treasury. With those additions to its funds, the executive committee has been enabled to udd largely to its field of im provemouts. Street sprinkling uarts were purchased, nnd the sprinkling of the streets added greatly to the public com fort, and the sidewulks, docks, pavilions and other property of the association wore put iu perfect order. After paying all indebtedness, the treasurer reports a balance on hand of $588.68 with which to commence the work of improvement next season. Ripibllcai Club Delegates. Oswego F.L. illntin, 0. W.
