WILLIAM F. GOODLING of pennsylvania in the house of representatives Tuesday, May 4, 1999 Mr. GOODLING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the Borough of North York 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. The general outlines for the borough began in 1888 with the purchase of 63 acres of ground by Jacob Mayer, a leading cigar maker. At that time, North York was known as Mayersville. On April 17, 1889, the Borough of North York was incorporated, encompassing about 146 acres of land. The first official council meeting was held on May 12, 1899. Today, the population of the Borough of North York is 1689. It is a thriving community and home to many outstanding businesses. I send my sincere best wishes as the Borough of North York 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. ____________________
