[This is the conclusion of our 3-part series on the Honesdale-Hawley electric trolley line which was first discussed in local newspapers as early as 1898. Tracks were actually being laid on Main Street, Honesdale in 1906, with the plan to follow the old canal towpath to Hawley. The project went through various company transfers and several delays. Here's what happened...]
HAWLEY- Governor J. K. Tener granted the charter in May 1913 to the Wayne County Railway Company.
The right-of-way had been secured. Once the charter was in hand, work on the route from Honesdale to Hawley could be pushed to completion.
May 23, 1913… The Citizen newspaper in Honesdale is very optimistic. The editor, Edwin B. Calloway, writes, "Hats off to the trolley. The Citizen takes great pleasure in announcing … the long talked-about and wished-for trolley road between Honesdale and Hawley is surely to be built. This is glad news and we are as anxious to hear of it as you. Three cheers to the Wayne County Street Railway Company! Long may it live and prosper."
An advance guard was in Honesdale in mid- July 1913 making preparations, cleaning out the Cortright cold storage building. The first installment of laborers, who were of Polish nationality, was expected the next week. E. F. Draper of New York City was in town, reporting that ties will be placed along the surveyed route that week and all material had been ordered. Once work is started, track was expected to be laid at a rate of a quarter mile a day.
Draper came with good credentials, having built seven trolley roads and operated one.
The company stockholders met and elected officers and 11 directors- nine from Honesdale and "two Hawleyites."
Erie Railroad had acquired the D&H Canal Towpath in this area at some point after the canal's closure. Draper secured the right-of-way from the Erie between the two towns.
Two hundred workmen had been engaged, and were expected to lay about a half mile of track a day. Material had already been ordered. Barns to store the trolley cars were to be erected just below Herman's (4th Street) Bridge in Honesdale. Ten of the most up-to-date cars were to be purchased. Not all of this fleet was expected to be in use at once, except at busy times such as a holiday.
On June 19, 1913, work started at 4th Street to erect poles for the overhead lines. A steel bridge with concrete piers was planned to take the trolley over Carley Brook and onto the old canal towpath.
*** Hawley pens a verse
The unnamed Hawley columnist in the June 13, 1913 issue of The Citizen had lots to say about the trolley, beginning with a little rhyme:
"'Fare please! Soon will be the train man's merry call, "And from our pockets wide and deep gray nickels we will haul, "And we'll gladly hand them over.
"We'll hum like bees in clover,
"Then praise the builders of the road in language strong and tall."
The columnist penned that Hawley folks were in need of patience to spend their money and take a ride on the hopeful new trolley line. One thing for certain, the columnist wrote, before Election Day 1913, "Honesdale ladies can have every opportunity of visiting Hawley and incidentally of doing a little shopping with Hawley merchants, stopping at the White Mills stores on their way to complete their purchases, and then get a car for home in time to get supper ready for 'the old man in the house.' Ahem!"
He (we think the columnist was a "he") added that there are as many opinions about the trolley as the man in Pittston reported to have 26 children. The columnist suggested it would be a jolly time for this brood to take the Laurel Line trolley in Scranton to catch the Wyoming Division train to Hawley, catch the trolley to Honesdale and go home by way of the D&H train to Carbondale and points west.
*** Bonds secured
In July of 1913, Honesdale Council reported that a $10,000 bond had been filed by the Wayne County Railway Company to protect the Borough from any legal trouble arising from the former trolley company. It still looked like the trolleys might run after all. Work had begun on a concrete bridge to carry the trolley over the former canal basin, leaving the roadway and entering the old canal towpath that led to Hawley.
A contract had been secured with an engineer, William Regali of Scranton.
Honesdale Council that month had presented an ordinance saying that the Wayne County Railway Company shall begin franchises and privileges "within three months" of passing the ordinance and "have its railway fully equipped and conveying passengers, baggages, freight and mails within 12 months and continually thereafter."
The $10,000 bond would also hold Honesdale Borough harmless upon removal of the rails and ties "now in Main and Park Streets."
*** End of the line
At the December 4, 1913 meeting of Hawley Council, the Council signed a petition filed by Martin B. Allen, president, and Charles B. Dodge, secretary of the Wayne County Railway Company, asking for a six month extension of the franchise to run the trolley. Hawley Borough had first granted the company the franchise early in 1913 but it was permitted to expire three months before (around September) by the failure to begin operations on the streets of Hawley, within six months of passing the ordinance.
Hawley Council was waiting for legal opinion to know if a new franchise would be required. The petition also said a bond would be furnished before the company began work in Hawley. No application had been made to Honesdale Council for an extension of time; the franchise there had also been allowed to expire. The original franchise from the Wayne County Railway Company called for trolley operations to begin in Honesdale in June of 1913.
Plans continued to unfold as 1914 came. Wayne County Railway Company had expanded its goals to continue the line in Honesdale up the center of North Main Street and reach as far north as Tanners Falls, about six miles from town.
Tanners Falls at that time was a village built around a large tannery operation. Abandoned in the late 1950's due to the Jadwin Dam flood control project, the village was completely demolished.
Businessmen in Hawley were still skeptical of what benefit the promised trolley line would do for their town and commerce. The "Down Hawley Way" columnist in the Wayne County Citizen, March 27, 1914 edition, stated that people in town heard the trolley line would be built that spring and summer. The writer noted, however, "an absence of enthusiasm" over the project. The question of the day, he said, was, "How and to what extent will the troller road benefit Hawley?"
Interest was high in the hydroelectric project that would dam the Wallenpaupack River at Wilsonville and make a huge reservoir. Supplying power for the Paupack Electric Company. There was suggestion that work on the trolley road would hurry completion of the power project, since the trolley company was expected to receive power from the Wilsonville project more cheaply than if it could establish its own power plant.
Population of Hawley and the Paupack Valley was expected to increase rapidly with the new power plant and attract new manufacturers. The trolley line, meanwhile, was still trumpeted by its supporters as a means to aid farmers and industry.
••• Trouble
Trouble, however, was brewing in 1914 between Honesdale Borough officials and the Wayne County Railway Company.
In January, Honesdale Council was informed that the Company wanted to lay "T" rail on Main Street in place of girder rail, which the Borough's franchise required.
"T" rail had previously been laid in the street. In April, Honesdale Council ordered the trolley company to remove the ties and rails within 30 days or Council would take action.
That same month, Honesdale Council approved extending the franchise to June 21, at which time the two, $10,000 bonds were set to expire.
Honesdale Council was in the midst of planning an ambitious project to pave their principal streets with brick. Wayne County Railway Company had agreed in the franchise to help pay for the paving, two feet on either side of the rails as well as between the rails.
In May 1914, E.F. Draper, the principal behind the Wayne County Railway Company, approached Honesdale Council and said that he had bought material for the protection of the bondholders. He explained that the "T" rail was a much better design than girder rail. A proper sand cushion was needed between the bricks and the rail ties.
Draper said that the "T" rail would not invalidate the franchise. Councilman George W. Penwarden made a motion, second by John Erk, to abide by the current franchise calling for girder rail. Council said they had done all they could for the trolley project and did not see where the Borough was at fault.
Borough Solicitor William H. Lee advised that whichever party was at fault, ought to yield.
Draper then stated that "if the present rails cannot be used, that none will be used."
Council questioned if the state would approve of the change to the rails, and tabled the vote on the motion until an engineer's report was available.
The May 12, 1914 Citizen reported that the nine foot strip up the center of North Main would not be taken care of by the trolley company. A grass median was suggested instead.
No more mention of the dispute over the type of rails has been located. The June 9, 1914 issue, however, reported that Honesdale Council was planning to file suit with Wayne County Railway Company.
The law suit was over the trolley company's failure to comply with the proposition to help pay for street paving. The Wayne County Railway Company has put up a bond of $10,000 to protect the Borough's interests.
Solicitor Lee and attorney Elwin C. Mumford filed the suit for $10,000 on July 8, 1914, against Wayne County Railway Company and the Surety Title & Guarantee Company of Scranton.
The outcome of this suit was not located in a search of newspaper archives or in the Honesdale Borough minutes.
By the fall of 1914, Honesdale's principal street was paved over with brick, and discussion of the trolley seems to have faded away.
••• Moving forward
The old canal towpath almost had a new chapter in its existence. Property owners instead largely filled in the old canal or used it for rubbish. A hundred years later, only a few segments remain to see where the canal and towpath once was active. Notably, a one-mile section just west of Hawley was preserved, and in 2013, the Wayne County Historical Society opened its D&H Lock 31 Canal Park. Today, the public is free to walk the towpath here, imagining the 19th Century canal days and yes, try and picture the electric trolley that almost made its way down here.
When Hawley Borough paved its streets is still being researched. One thing we know, roads were improving. Henry Ford had made automobiles within reach of the average working person. By 1918, half of all of America's cars were Model T's. Eventually this would hasten the end of the trolley line's usefulness.
Just looking at business directories for Hawley, in 1912 there was one automobile dealer/repair garage; in 1925 there were seven.
No trolley was needed for progress to move forward.

|MLBPA Press Release
A $1 million donation made by Major League Baseball, the Major League Baseball Players Association, the U.S. Japan Council and the Japan Cultural and Community Center of Northern California will be used to refurbish Ishinomaki Municipal Baseball Stadium. The stadium is located in the Tohoku region of Japan that was devastated by last year's earthquake and tsunami. The donation is part of TOMODACHI, a public/private partnership led by the U.S. and Japanese governments to rebuild Tohoku.
The Boeing Company, an MLB sponsor in Japan and the Mariners jersey patch sponsor for the Gloops Japan Opening Series 2012, today joined Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association in hosting a clinic for young baseball players in Ishinomaki, a city in the Tohoku region of Japan. The clinic featured members of the Athletics and Mariners along with MLB instructors providing baseball coaching to nearly 100 young people. After the clinic, the players and staff served a meal to the kids and residents of a temporary housing complex near the field. Major League Baseball, the Major League Baseball Players Association and Boeing also invited a group of participants from the clinic to participate in a special pregame ceremony prior to the March 28 game. Nine kids will take the field with the Athletics in the first inning to symbolize the return of baseball in the Tohoku region.
In addition, both teams visited members of the United States Armed Forces on military bases in Japan prior to the two-game series. Members of the Athletics spent time with airmen at Yokota Air Force Base and members of the Mariners visited soldiers at Camp Zama, U.S. Army Base. Servicemen and women from both installations were part of more than 19,000 United States soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who took part in relief efforts in Tohoku under "Operation Tomodachi" in the months after the earthquake and tsunami.
Gloops Japan Opening Series 2012 will mark the first MLB season opener in Japan since the Boston Red Sox and Athletics played at the Tokyo Dome in 2008.
Upon conclusion of Gloops Japan Opening Series 2012, the Mariners and Athletics will travel back to the United States to complete an abbreviated exhibition schedule before resuming their Championship Season schedules.
Organizers of Gloops Japan Opening Series 2012 include MLB, MLBPA, NPB and Yomiuri.

When The CW's "Reign" returns for its second season, we will see Mary, Queen of Scots, and the new King, Francis II, in the first year of marriage.
Don't expect it to be all wedded bliss and festivities at court.
The young couple has to contend with their newfound position of power, not to mention as newlyweds.
"Reign" stars Adelaide Kane, Toby Regbo and Megan Follows talked about the show and teased season two at a Comic-Con panel Thursday.
Some highlights of what to expect:
-- The plague is coming. Executive Producer Laurie McCarthy says it "changes the dynamics of court, this particular region of France" and "not everyone will survive." There will be casualty in the first episode.
-- In real life, King Francis II didn't live past 40. The clock is now slowing down on the show. "I'm in no rush to say goodbye to Toby or to Francis," McCarthy said.
-- Season one's love triangle between Francis, Mary and his fictional half brother Sebastian is over. Francis and Mary are married, and Bash, as he's known, has moved on. Kane, for one, is happy about that. "I'm really glad we didn't continue," she said. "It's tired, and it's exhausting, and I'm sick of seeing it. ... You can only do that for so long before it gets bloody boring."
-- New characters are expected. Under this new reign of power, McCarthy said, "a lot of nobles have been waiting for their day in court and their moment to get involved with people like Catherine de Medici, Mary and Francis."
-- Mary will feel pressure to produce an heir, especially because Francis has a love child with another woman at court (a friend of Mary's.)
Comic-Con is a four-day festival celebrating film, TV, video games, comic books, costumes and other popular art that continues through Sunday at the San Diego Convention Center.

Internet providers Sullivan MO – Broadband Satellite Internet Services
The internet has become a household necessity. The changing world in Sullivan MO requires internet providers to offer faster and faster internet download and upload speeds. Gone are the days of dial-up service. Sullivan MO internet providers must meet the demands of consumers. Streaming HD content is becoming more and more common in Sullivan. Video requires the download of massive amounts of data. Wide screen HD TVs are one of the reasons internet providers in Sullivan Missouri are scrambling to boost speeds.

Sullivan Missouri Cable Broadband & DSL broadband internet providers
There are 3 types of broadband Sullivan internet providers. Typically satellite internet providers have been limited in their speeds. Satellite based broadband with speeds from 1-3Mbp has been typical (New technology has increased this to a top speed of triple that). Satellite is now offering blazing fast internet in Sullivan of up to12mbps. The internet providers have evolved to keep up with the bandwidth demands from their Sullivan MO internet customers.
The main advantage of a satellite provider is the access it affords homeowners in areas where DSL or cable broadband is not available. There is a vast area in rural America that depends on satellite for their internet needs. The new technology that is just being offered will enable these rural MO homes to enjoy the speeds previously limited to city dwelling DSL and Cable Broadband subscribers. As technology marches on, who knows, maybe there will be a internet satellite on homes in denser populated areas similar to the satellite TV expansion we have seen in the last 10 years.
DSL Internet Providers in Sullivan MO
Sullivan MO phone based DSL broadband is typically the least expensive of all the broadband internet providers. Speeds range from 1.5Mbps to 6Mbps depending on the distance from the ISP. The price is right, however DSL has a somewhat limited service area. DSL broadband has to be within an 18,000ft radius of the internet service providers central office. Call for Sullivan MO DSL internet availability.
Many people are confused as to exactly what DSL is. DSL is delivered to your home via the good old telephone wire. Yes, the wires running around the neighborhood. These same wires that have been used primarily for phone service. Pretty amazing how the internet providers new technology allows a small copper wires bandwidth to be split between phone service and DSL high speed internet. Probably much to many peoples surprise, only a fraction of the bandwidth is actually used for the telephone. This leaves you're your local phone provider with a huge opportunity to provide you with high speed internet.
DSL is an affordable answer for many home owners who are looking for an internet connection to their home. One draw back to DSL service is that it does require a telephone line service provider. In other words to Have DSL you need a Land-line Phone provider. But don't despair, the phone service internet providers realize many people today only have cell phones and do not need a landline service too. So within the last couple of years the internet providers have begun offering DSL without landline Phone service. The DSL internet providers call this a DRY LOOP. At first this option was a little pricey but as the competition among the Sullivan internet service providers has heated up recently, the prices have dropped. DSL can be a pretty neat alternative to Cable, as the price for internet service can be a little cheaper. If you do not have cable service at your home or use the internet where speeds of 1.5-6mbps are sufficient, then you can save a couple bucks and the internet service will be just fine.
Internet Providers in Sullivan by Cable
Sullivan cable internet service providers are in the middle as far as price range. Cable internet providers supply a vast part of our country with broadband internet. Cable usually is supplied to your home on a coaxial RG6 cable line from a nearby telephone pole. The readily available access to this form of broadband delivery gives your Sullivan cable company a huge advantage in the cable service provider's world.
Sullivan MO Internet Providers Speeds
Cable also boasts speeds as fast as 105 mbps. Although a bit pricey at these speeds, this wins cable, the holy cow that's really fast award. Typical Missouri cable internet providers speeds subscribed to by the average homeowner are in the 6-20mbps. This is a great and affordable option for Sullivan MO Internet to enjoy uploading and downloading large files and streaming a video with little or no buffering. Cable broadband internet providers have filled a new nitch in the market of MO. HD video streaming. A couple of years ago no one could have imagined the advances we have seen. What wonders will the cable internet providers achieve in the next couple of years. The internet and the data delivered to your home in Sullivan by your cable internet providers is truly amazing.
Order Internet service in Sullivan MO by providers you can trust
What a world we live in today. Sounds like something out of a SIFI book. Sullivan is streaming video to their HD LCD TVs with 5.1 surround. You've arrived home and video conferenced with some clients in Hong Kong. Grabbed a cold beverage and downloaded a couple of HD movies to watch later. Your buddy calls your Sullivan home, and you answer on your VOIP sip phone. The wife is surfing the web to shop for a new laptop. Your smartphone rings and your off to the golf course.

Unmanned aircraft crash. In fact, they crash a lot—though there's no recent specific data, the Congressional Research Service reported last year that despite improvements "the accident rate for unmanned aircraft is still far above that of manned aircraft." And while many of those accidents can be attributed to hostile fire or terrible flight conditions, a significant percentage of drone crashes is caused by human error. A December 2004 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) study of Defense Department drone crashes found human factors to be a causal factor in about a third of the cases the researchers examined.
But as four human factors engineering researchers have found, sometimes the accidents are by design. That is, the design of the systems that operators use to fly the drones are so bad that they invite accidents. A recent Ergonomics in Design article reported that a small but significant number of crashes could be directly attributed to bad ergonomics on ground control station hardware. These factors may have played a major part in crashes that were attributed to other causes.
Take, for example, one drone crash in 2006. As the operator brought the drone in for a landing, he meant to flip the landing gear button on the control joystick but accidentally hit the nearby ignition switch instead—shutting off the engine in mid-flight. The $1.5 million drone plummeted to the ground, a total loss. On another occasion, glare on a screen was so bad that a drone operator couldn't read an alert and mistook it for a landing signal—again killing the engines before the drone had landed.
Unmanned aircraft have been pushed into service so quickly in the last decade that their control systems were often still in development when they arrived on battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan. Despite many of the systems being based on technology very similar to the average PC—and the level of automation in drones continuing to increase as operations move from flying with a joystick to a mouse—the Department of Defense has still not developed human factors standards for ground control station systems, even as the systems have matured. Considering how much human factors engineering goes into nearly every bit of other weapons system procurement (and having worked as a contractor at the Army Test Lab at Aberdeen Proving Grounds at one point, I can attest that it's significant), that's a bit of a surprise.
The authors of the report were Dr. Qaisar "Raza" Waraich (an engineer at Smartronix who recently completed his PhD at George Washington University) and GWU faculty members Dr. Thomas A. Mazzuchi, Dr. Shahram Sarkani, and adjunct instructor David F. Rico (who has also done UAS design work for the US Navy). They surveyed 20 drone operators about the characteristics of their ground-control station systems and found that there was a 98 percent overlap in the input and output devices used by ground control workstations and those used by general purpose computers. Some devices even drew from the realm of computer and console gaming.
Therefore, they concluded, drone systems could benefit greatly from the application of well-established ergonomic standards for general-purpose computing workstations—specifically, the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society and American National Standards Institute's ANSI/HFES-100-2007 standards for computing workstations.
"The IO category of ANSI/HFES 100-2007 specifies the ergonomic shape of auxiliary input devices that best conforms to humans, bodily constraints, and layout," Waraich and his co-authors wrote. If the DOD used the standard as the basis for acceptable drone pilot workstations, such as button layout specifications that take hand and finger movements into account and try to avoid those that can cause hand fatigue, "many [drone] mishaps may be avoided."
Hopefully, the FAA will take human factors into account before it starts certifying any drones to fly in US airspace.

Brazil Population: 205,823,6651 VISITOR FROM HERE!
« Previous Country | Next Country » Back to Flag Counter Overview
|Following more than three centuries under Portuguese rule, Brazil gained its independence in 1822, maintaining a monarchical system of government until the abolition of slavery in 1888 and the subsequent proclamation of a republic by the military in 1889. Brazilian coffee exporters politically dominated the country until populist leader Getulio VARGAS rose to power in 1930. By far the largest and most populous country in South America, Brazil underwent more than a half century of populist and military government until 1985, when the military regime peacefully ceded power to civilian rulers. Brazil continues to pursue industrial and agricultural growth and development of its interior. Having successfully weathered a period of global financial difficulty in the late 20th century, Brazil was seen as one of the world's strongest emerging markets and a contributor to global growth. The awarding of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympic Games, the first ever to be held in South America, was seen as symbolic of the country's rise. However, since about 2013, Brazil has been plagued by a shrinking economy, growing unemployment, and rising inflation. Political scandal resulted in the impeachment of President Dilma ROUSSEFF in May 2016, a conviction that was upheld by the Senate in August 2016; her vice president, Michel TEMER, will serve as president until 2018, completing her second term.

Characterized by large and well-developed agricultural, mining, manufacturing, and service sectors, and a rapidly expanding middle class, Brazil's economy outweighs that of all other South American countries, and Brazil is expanding its presence in world markets. Since 2003, Brazil has steadily improved its macroeconomic stability, building up foreign reserves, and reducing its debt profile by shifting its debt burden toward real denominated and domestically held instruments. Since 2008, Brazil became a net external creditor and all three of the major ratings agencies awarded investment grade status to its debt. After strong growth in 2007 and 2008, the onset of the global financial crisis hit Brazil in 2008. Brazil experienced two quarters of recession, as global demand for Brazil's commodity-based exports dwindled and external credit dried up. However, Brazil was one of the first emerging markets to begin a recovery. In 2010, consumer and investor confidence revived and GDP growth reached 7.5%, the highest growth rate in the past 25 years. GDP growth has slowed since 2011, due to several factors, including overdependence on exports of raw commodities, low productivity, high operational costs, persistently high inflation, and low levels of investment. After reaching historic lows of 4.8% in 2014, the unemployment rate remains low, but is rising. Brazil's traditionally high level of income inequality has declined for the last 15 years. Brazil's fiscal and current account balances have eroded during the past four years as the government attempted to boost economic growth through targeted tax cuts for industry and incentives to spur household consumption. After winning reelection in October 2014 by a historically narrow margin, President Dilma ROUSSEFF appointed a new economic team led by Finance Minister Joaquim LEVY, who introduced a fiscal austerity package intended to restore the primary account surplus (before interest expenditures are included) to 1.2% of GDP and preserve the country's investment-grade sovereign credit rating. LEVY encountered political headwinds and an economy facing more challenges than he anticipated. The target for the primary account surplus fell to a deficit of 2%, and two of the three main credit rating agencies downgraded Brazil to "junk" status. Brazil seeks to strengthen its workforce and its economy over the long run by imposing local content and technology transfer requirements on foreign businesses, by investing in education through social programs such as Bolsa Familia and the Brazil Science Mobility Program, and by investing in research in the areas of space, nanotechnology, healthcare, and energy.
