BoroucH Counci. ELects BOROUGH
ENGINEER.—The principal thing done at
the regular meeting of borough council
on Monday evening was the passing of
the ordinance creating the new office of
borough engineer, whose duty it will be
to look after the streets and water depart-
ment, and electing C. W. Meyer to fill the
office at a salary of one hundred dollars
per month.
Every member of council was present
and it was an interesting session from
start to finish. There were no verbal or
written communications, and none of the
committees had anything special to re-
port except the Street committee, who
stated that the boardwalk around
Rhoads’ corner had been replaced; that
contractor R. B. Taylor had refused to do
the work and the same had been done at
the expense of the borough. The Water
committee also reported the meter bills
for the current quarter to be $714.82;
also that $10.40 had been received from
Mrs. Bogle for meters.
Under the head of old business the
matter of exonerating the water tax on
the M. I. Gardner property on the cor-
ner of Howard and Spring streets was
takenup. The chairman of the Water
committee reported that Mr. Gardner
was still receiving his regular rental for
the property and ought to be willing to
pay the tax on same. Dr. Kirk stated
that notwithstanding the fact that Mr.
_ Gardner was receiving rent for his prop-
erty, if the water had been cut off from
his house, as was claimed, he should not
| be held liable for the tax. The president
finally disposed of the matter by stating
| that if Mr. Gardner would furnish a cer-
| tificate to the Water committee that the

for second reading and final passage. Dr.
Kirk opposed considering the ordinance
at this meeting, on the ground that a
number of councilmen desired to attend
the tree lecture by Mr. Withers in the
new High school building. Mr. Musser,
however, stated that something ought to
be done to put a competent man in
charge of the streets and water depart-
ment and upon a vote of council Dr.
Kirk's motion to hold over the considera-
tion of the ordinance was defeated. The
ordinance was then read and Mr. Musser
moved that it be adopted, which motion
was seconded by Mr. Keller. Dr. Kirk
objected to the ordinance because of the
last provision, requiring the engineer to
make a new map. He stated that there
was a borough map in existence and it
would be simply a waste of time and ex-
pense to make another. He also objected
tp the ordinance because the engineer
would thus be empowered to make “tem-
porary, improvements, because he didn’t
approve of the word temporary. Mr.
Beezer also objected to the passage of
the ordinance because he was opposed to
creating any new offices. On an aye and
nay vote the ordinance was passed by a
vote of five to three, Judge, Keller, Mus-
ser, Sheffer and Yerger voting for it and
Beezer, Grimm and Kirk against it.
Mr. Musser then stated that at a joint

mend C. W. Meyer for the position of
borough engineer, and that he moved his
election to serve until January lst, 1912
at a salary of one hundred dollars per
month; providing that council would
have a right to remove him at any time
for cause. The motion passed by a vote
of five to three, the same being identical
with the vote on passing the ordinance.
Borough solicitor J. Thomas Mitchell
stated that he had rceeived notice from
James Noonan that if some action was
not taken relative to his claim for dam-
ages for injuries his wife sustained by
falling in a hole on the corner of Bishop
and Allegheny streets legal proceedings
would be instituted against the borough,
and he suggested that a committee be
appointed to confer with the board of
directors of the Bellefonte Electric com-
pany to see what they were willing to
do, inasmuch as it was the company's
men who dug the hole. The Street com-
mittee was instructed to take charge of
the matter and report at next meeting.
The Finance committee asked the re-
newal of a note for $1,000 for one year at
five per cent, and also a new note for
$2,000 for one year at five per cent. Both
were authorized.
The borough solicitor reported that
about eight hundred dollars had been col-
lected from property owners on the new
brick paving account.
Mr. Yerger moved that the hall of the
public building be papered at the bor-
ough's expense, but the mation was de-
feated on the ground that the borough
did not have the money.
Mr. Judge, of the Street committee, re-
ported a bad pavement on Race street
along the Republican office, and also that
the concrete pavement in front of the
Italian fruit store on High street is that
slippery that it is dangerous. The
matter was referred to the Street com-
mittee.
Bills to the amount of $907.13 were ap-
proved and council adjourned in ample
time for the members to hear the tree
lecture by Mr. Withers.
—Last Saturday Mrs. Henry F. Bart-
ley, of Willowbank street, was eighty-

———Nothing but moving pictures con-
stitute the program at the Scenic every
evening. There is no cheap vaudeville
or trashy song to take up the time and
make the program seem longer. It is
nothing but pictures from beginning to
end. There are three reels each evening
and some evenings four. And they are
all the best that manager Brown can se-
cure, so you can always feel sure of see-
ing something good.
——A very interesting district meeting
was held by the Free Methodists in the
union church at Nittany furnace, begin-
ning on Thursday, February 2nd, and
continuing over the following Sabbath.
Ministers were present from Tyrone and
Unionville as was also Rev. A. J. ‘Hill, of
Bradford, presiding elder of the Oil City
conference. Believers were strengthened
and the altar was filled nightly with earn-
est seekers inquiring the way of salva-
tion.
——(eorge Nevin Brandon, organist of
the Second Presbyterian church of Scran-
ton and once a resident of Bellefonte,
meeting of the Water and Street com- | where he was liked so much for his per-
mittees it had been decided to recom- ! sonality and rare genius, is ill at a moun-
tain resort near Scranton with little hope
of his recovery. He had been in poor
health for years and it is thought was
too weak to withstand the trying ordeal
of his Christmas music program soon
after which he collapsed and has been
unconscious since Sunday. Word from
there yesterday was to the effect that he
will probably never regain consciousness.
——Claire B. Williams, son of Mr. and
Mrs. George Williams, of this place, and
whose wife prior to her marriage was
Miss Tessie Lyon, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. W. A. Lyon, had a narrow escape at
the time of the big explosion of powder
and dynamite in New York last Wednes-
day. He was on a boat in the east river
the one side of which was torn away by
the force of the explosion. Williams was
thrown between twenty and thirty feet
and would likely have gone overboard
had he not struck another man. Aside
from the shock of the explosion he was
uninjured. Almost every pane of window
glass was broken in the Williams home
in Jersey City, over a mile from the scene
of the accident and Mrs. Williams had to
stay at home and guard the house until
glass could be secured and put in the
windows.
——The social doings in Bellefonte
within the past week include Miss Lida
Morris’ tea Saturday atternoon, in honor

quiet wedding last Thursday when their
