Glenbrook.

(Conlrlbulod).

Line 2.0.0This mountain village, though richly
Line 2.0.1adorned by Nature, both as regards
Line 2.0.2those natural advantages which ap
Line 2.0.3peal to the practical eye,, as well as
Line 2.0.4the embellishments which stir the
Line 2.0.5poetic imagination is a long way"from
Line 2.0.6being the ideal mountain township.
Line 2.0.7The now line gives access to scenery,
Line 2.0.8the rugged grandour of which is pro
Line 2.0.9bably unsurpassed in the Slate. The
Line 2.0.10new railway station, with its pretty
Line 2.0.11approaches by clear white,macadam
Line 2.0.12ised roads, constructed by the Works
Line 2.0.13Department, promises to be one of
Line 2.0.14the prettiest on the mountains. The
Line 2.0.15train service is a good one, there
Line 2.0.16being four trains to, and live from,
Line 2.0.17the city daily-all fast, and at con
Line 2.0.18venient hours. Despite these 'advan
Line 2.0.19tages, natural and artificial, the con
Line 2.0.20dition of this, the first mountain ham
Line 2.0.21lot, leaves much to be desired. It is
Line 2.0.22currently reported that the village
Line 2.0.23boasts of two progress associations,
Line 2.0.24which suggests a wheelbarrow at
Line 2.0.25tached to a five horse team. So far:
Line 2.0.26neither appears to have done anything
Line 2.0.27to justify its existence. The writer
Line 2.0.28asked a raw-boned youth the other
Line 2.0.29day if there was a progress associa
Line 2.0.30tion in Glenbrook. He replied that
Line 2.0.31there were a lot of funnyl things in
Line 2.0.32the Lagoon. There is no sanitary
Line 2.0.33system in the village. Fancy an
Line 2.0.34urban area without a sanitation sys
Line 2.0.35tem. A water supply has been talked
Line 2.0.36of since the oldest inhabitants first
Line 2.0.37settled here. It goes without saying
Line 2.0.38that an excellent water supply lies
Line 2.0.39within easy reach of the township..
Line 2.0.40The sanitary depot in connection with
Line 2.0.41the deviation works lies half a mile
Line 2.0.42or so north-east of the town, is situ
Line 2.0.43ated on a reserve of sixty acres, and
Line 2.0.44is managed by one of the most com
Line 2.0.45petent men in tho Commonwealth.
Line 2.0.46More like a dairy farm than a depot,
Line 2.0.47the appearance of this place, with its
Line 2.0.48aspect of scrupulous cleanliness, is as
Line 2.0.49surprising as it is pleasing. A visit
Line 2.0.50lo the Glenbrook sanitary depot is an
Line 2.0.51education. The manager (Mr John
Line 2.0.52Dick) has been in charge of this part
Line 2.0.53of the work since tho inception of
Line 2.0.54the doviation works at Clarence, four
Line 2.0.55and a half years ago. ' So thoroughly
Line 2.0.56has the work been done that not one

case of fever or like complaint has .

occurred during the whole time.

Line 2.2.0Nevertheless, no ellort is being made
Line 2.2.1to retain the services of such a
Line 2.2.2mail. What will be done at the Public

Line 2.3.0.School in this connection when the '
Line 2.3.1railway works are completed, and the
Line 2.3.2system even temporarily suspended,

Line 2.4.0is a matter of the wildest, conjecture. 
Line 2.4.1By the judicious expenditure of a .
Line 2.4.2little money, not only could the vill

age be made proof against opidemic, ,

but the Lagoon-now a picture--the ,

Line 3.0.0Blue Hole and its loneiy environs,
Line 3.0.1and other beauty spots could be im
Line 3.0.2proved anil futhur beautiful. It is
Line 3.0.3evidenl, therefore, that if any pro
Line 3.0.4gress associations exist., tliey are
Line 3.0.5moribund, or ellete, and have lost
Line 3.0.6public confldence, The time has come
Line 3.0.7when evcry denizen of Glenbrook
Line 3.0.8should stifle petty jealousies and the
Line 3.0.9like, and work for the good or the
Line 3.0.10place. Each should remember that
Line 3.0.11one's duly is to make the place .bet
Line 3.0.12ter for his being there, and that evory
Line 3.0.13town, great or small, is, in its pro
Line 3.0.14gress or stagnation, a reflex of the
Line 3.0.15character of, its residents. The bost
Line 3.0.16resources of any country, district or

Line 3.1.0parish lie in tho character of its peo-"~
Line 3.1.1ple. in passing, it may be added
Line 3.1.2that or all mountain towns but. Kat
Line 3.1.3oomba, Glenbrook holds the greatest
Line 3.1.4number of season ticket holders.
