      HONORING THE BOROUGH OF CROSS ROADS ON ITS 100TH ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. WILLIAM F. GOODLING

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 15, 1999

  Mr. GOODLING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the Borough 
of Cross Roads on the occasion of its 100th anniversary celebration. I 
am pleased and proud to bring the history of this fine borough to the 
attention of my colleagues.
  On October 16, 1899, the Borough of Cross Roads was incorporated. At 
that time the Honorable Judge Pittenger described the town as one with 
the potential of growing greatly to meet the needs of the expanding 
society. Then the borough included 36 houses, one of which was vacant, 
and a population of 154, 44 of whom were registered voters.
  Now, 100 years later, Cross Roads is a mixture of farms and homes. 
Cross Roads has lived up to those expectations set forth by Judge 
Pittenger in 1899. This borough has provided many people with a 
friendly, family-oriented, and safe community.
  I send my sincere best wishes as the Borough of Cross Roads 
celebrates this milestone in its history. I am proud to represent such 
a fine place and look forward to watching it grow as we enter the new 
millennium.
