Old Economy Village in Ambridge will have an historic railroad lecture in the Granary building (near 14th and Church Streets inside the Village) on Wednesday, April 5 at 7:00 p.m. David Aitken will talk on “The Little Saw Mill Run Railroad”.  Conceived by farmers and merchants, the Little Saw Mill Run Railroad was in large part financed and managed by the Harmony Society, a group of German Communist, Capitalist, and Celibate Christians.  The life and times of the railroad and the residents of the valleys will be looked at in this talk, which covers approximately from the mid-1840s to the mid-1950s. 
 
David Aitken is a retired Railroad Yardmaster, researcher, volunteer and author. Forty years of interest resulted in David writing a book on this railroad.  Copies of his book “The Little Saw Mill Run Railroad” will be for sale and there will be a book signing.  This program is free of charge, but you must reserve a seat. Light refreshments will be provided.  To reserve seats or if you have any questions please contact David Miller at davmiller@pa.gov or (724) 266-4500 x 110.

Public Safety Committee reported that based on Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) statistics, crime within Ambridge Borough has decreased between years 2015 and 2016 by -12.12% during the March council meeting.

Ambridge Police Chief James Mann shared that  "It's the totality of circumstances with aggressive police work,  assistance from outside agencies like at Attorney General's office and all the drugs arrest that was made.  When you add it all up you get less crime."

​"We are particular about getting accurate UCR reports because that is how we got guys hired under grants" said Mann.   "The extra full-time guys, the extra patrols, the multiple arrests, the partnership, it is the totality of everyone. "


"I rather see it go down 12% then up 12%."
