They've got the bear by the tail but he is too big for them and will they be able to let go without getting squeezed. When the Special Water committee conceived the idea of building a nunicipal hydro-electric plant for the purpose of furnishing electricity to light the streets and pump the water, and later consum- mated the deal whereby they acquired the legal title to the old Green property at Mileshurg, they did it with a marked degree of secretiveness, so that as near as the public got to the actual cost was an estimate of about $13,000. Of this amount $4,000 in cash was paid to J. R. Simpson, et al., of Huntingdon, by which the legal title to the property was secur- ed, but there were liens against it in the shape of mortgages and judgments ag- gregating in the neighborhood of $9,000. One of these was and is still held by F. W. Crider which a year ago aggregated with interest over $3,800. Another was held jointly by the McMeen estate and Green estate and it with accrued interest was considerable over three thousand dollars. Options were taken upon the above and upon the latter, at least, pay- ments have been made aggregating fifteen hundred dollars, or over. In addition there were a few minor liens which have been paid off. So confident were the members of the Special Water committee that they could build the plant that the contract was let to Jackson & Jackson, of Boston and Chicago. Representatives of the firm with their engineers were here and did considerable work for which they had to be paid, and this was no small amount, either. Then legal com- plications arose and now it is evident that all idea of building the plant has been abandoned, according to the information given to council on Monday evening by borough solicitor J. Thomas Mitchell, who stated that he had been in negotiation with a party for the purchase of the property and expected him here most any day. In the meantime the Special Water committee and borough solicitor were instructed to see what could be done in securing another extension of the op- tions referred to above anda special meeting of council will be called to dispose of the matter before they expire on the 15th. There were but six members present when council convened on Monday even- ing though Mr. Sheffer came in later. None of the regular committees had any- thing of importance to report, and there was no old business to dispose of. Under the head of new business the Water committee requested authority to repair the pump at No. 2 plant; to pur- chase four new fire plugs, four four-inch secondary valves and one three inch valve and to paint the iron fence around the spring. Messrs. Kirk and Grimm object- ed to the purchase of new fire plugs on the ground that the old ones could be repair- ed as good as new. Mr. Musser stated that it was the requisition of the water superintendent, who ought to know, but assured council that if new plugs were not needed they would not be purchased. On these conditions the request was granted. Mr. Musser offered a resolution that all water meters be removed from private houses and that everybody be assessed water tax according to the new ordinance passed last year. Objected to by Dr. Kirk but passed. Through Mr. Musser the Fire and Police committee presented the request of bur- gess John J. Bower that the borough pur- chase one hundred anti-spitting signs and ten automobile signs. The former would cost $21 and the latter $15. No action was taken in the matter. Dr. Kirk offered a resolution that inas- much as there was a little over fifteen thousand dollars in the sinking fund as much thereof as it was thought judicious ! ——This (Friday) evening Rev.

It being the judgment of the committee that young men in their first year at college were not possessed of enough judgment and discretion to con- duct themselves properly on such occa- sions. — nr — —Judge Baldridge, of Blair county, gave the hotel men of his baliwick cold chills last Thursday when he refused to grant any licenses until he was able to dispose of the entire list and the result was the thirsty traveler had the biggest April Fool of his life when he butted up against the barroom door and found it securely bolted. It was not until Friday evening that the licenses were handed down and then it was discovered that seventeen hotels in Altoona had been refused and nine in other parts of Blair county. BE A-P ~The WATCHMAN has been request- ed to call the attention of the road su- pervisors throughout the county to the Act of the Legislature requiring them to remove all the loose stone from the public highways during the months of May, June, August and October. The act is very specific and makes it the duty of the supervisors to remove the loose stones under a penalty of ten dollars for each and every offense in neglecting to do so; the fine to be collected by a prosecution before any justice of the peace in the county. Such being the case it would be discretion on the part of the supervisors and road masters to keep their roads clean of loose stone and thus avoid all possibility of censure. ——-The Bellefonte Academy base ball team has accepted an invitation to play a practice game with the State College "Varsity nine on Beaver field this (Fri- day) afternoon.

Manager Brown has just ordered two reels of Pathe films of Roosevelt in Africa—no makeup but taken on the trip by an experienced photographer—which he will have as an extra attraction some time in May, as soon as possible after they are released. It is such enterprise on the part of Mr. Brown that makes the Scenic such a popular place of amuse- ment. 6:45 to 8:30 o'clock.

BasesaLL NEws.—The question of the formation of a Central Pennsylvania base- ball league seems to grow more proble- matical every week and there is no cer- tainty of the organization. At the meet- ing held in St. Mary's last week the fans of that place, Ridgway and Emporium were very enthusiastic over the proposi- tion of joining with Bellefonte, Lock Ha- ven and Renovo, but at the time they de- ferred giving a positive answer. A meet- ing has since been held by the baseball people of that place and they decided to pass up the proposition, as they claim it would be too expensive to keep up. With St. Mary's refusing to come in Ridg- way people have ceased to consider itand both towns are now advocating the for- mation of a Tri-county league in their own immediate neighborhood. Just what action will now be taken is not known. That the four towns which composed the league last year, Bellefonte, Lock Haven, Jersey Shore and Renovo, will each have teams this year seems almost assured, but whether they will again get together and play organized ball is still to be set- tled.
