100 Years Ago is brought to you by Broome Recycles.

100 years ago today, harvesting the 1925 supply of ice has begun on the Susquehanna River. Employees of the Cloverdale Creamery and the Hall Ice Cream Company are busy cutting eight-inch-thick blocks of ice from the Susquehanna River just above the Rockbottom Dam. Indications are that there will be plenty of ice for use this summer.

The Department of Public Works is making several ice-skating rinks in the city. The athletic field at Recreation Park has been flooded and turned into an excellent skating rink. Now they plan to flood the playground at Theodore Roosevelt School on Bevier Street, and also the grounds around Rossville School and East Junior High School

Finally, it will cost more to ride the trolley in Johnson City this year. The Binghamton Railway Company has been granted permission to increase the trolley fare in the village by one penny, to seven cents.

And that was the news 100 years ago.
