Chronological Review of Events in Niagara Falls for 1935 I « ! • » " • ' « » •
CITY'S HISTORY FOR PAST TWELVE MONTHS TOLD IN THE
SEQUENCE OF DAILY RECORDS Day by Day Rev iew of Year S h o w s it Similar to Pas t
Years , Embodying T r i u m p h s and Tragedies , Hopes
and Disappoin tments of Life for Res idents of Ci ty
riE darlj record of' events in Niagara Falls during 1935, revealed by the files of the Gazette, indicates that the
forward march of progress is again well underway in this city. Halted momentarily, while the entire nation marked time in its economic advance, the record shows that the city's development again surged ahead in the past year in a most auspicious manner.
The story of this development, except for the resumption of the progress in terms of economic betterment, is much like that of past years. The daily record is a record of the city's life, partraying the joys and sorrows, triumphs and tragedies, hopes and disappointments that are met in a rapidly growing community.
With many more bright spots than any recent year, the record has a few dark ones, especially where the necrology reveals the passing of a number of men and women whose public-spirited efforts have done much to further the city's development in the past.
But the living carry on the torch dropped by the dead and the record reveals not only economic progress but development in recreational features, public services and other aspects of community well-being during the year which is ending today.
