Little Falls, NY

This day in history: December 15

1891

The toboggan chute off East Monroe Street is ready for business. Water pipes have been laid so the slide can be sprinkled and kept in condition. Tobogganing will doubtless be one of our popular winter sports.

1931

An ambulance, once owned by the Mary Imogene Bassett hospital in Cooperstown, has been refinished inside and out, and was donated to the city by Dr. H. W. Vickers. The firemen will care for the machine.

1933

Fifty-five men went to work on approved CWA projects in the city. These tasks include construction of the Summit Avenue storm sewer, building new sewer manholes, and graveling roads within the city. Working six hours a day for five days a week, foremen receive $1.20 an hour and laborers 53 cents an hour.

1949

John Crowley, Editor and chief stockholder of the Evening Times for nearly sixty years passed away today. He influenced much of what went on in Little Falls through his stinging editorials in his newspaper.

2007

The inaugural “Christmas in Little Falls” celebration was held.

Many thanks to Louie Baum for his research for This Day in History.
