In July, Gossips reported about the plan to repair the clock in the pediment at Montgomery C. Smith Elementary School, the historic school building constructed in 1937 as a WPA (Works Progress Administration) project during the Great Depression.
Today, the news of the clock's resumed functioning was reported on the Hudson City School District website: "MCSES Clock Tower Restored." According to HCSD's account, the clock started working again on August 12, twenty-three days before Gossips happened to notice it was telling the correct time and a month and two days before HCSD announced it to the community. The story on the HCSD website tells how the repair, which was a gift from longtime HCSD community member Michael K. Sullivan, came about.
