WORK StoppEp ON HIGH STREET public improvement that is made on the BripGeE.—Last week a force of bridge builders from the York Bridge company began work on the rebuilding of High street bridge over Spring creek. It took | several days to tear up the old plank flooring from one side of the bridge and when that was completed they put in the first underswung truss and that was the | beginning of trouble. While neither the | county commissioners nor the Bellefonte | council had ever seen the plans for re- | building the bridge, so far as the writer | could learn, the former stated that they had been informed that the new trusses would extend about eighteen inches be- low the old iron beams. But when the first truss was in place it was seen that it extended almost four feet below, and not much over six feet above low water mark. | When it is considered that there have been floods in Spring creek when the water lapped the old iron girders it can readily be seen that the new trusses, ex- tending almost four feet lower and run- ning crosswise over the creek instead of with the course of the stream would con- stitute a very dangerous dam for any and all kinds of drift that might be car- ried down stream at a time of high water. And the result would not only be great damage to adjacent properties but the probable destruction of the bridge itself. Realizing this fact the owners of proper- ties in that vicinity put in a very forcible complaint to the county commissioners and borough council with the result that work on the bridge was stopped on Mon- day evening pending a plan of pro- posed alterations by a competent en- gineer and a settlement of the matter ac- ceptable to all parties. INTERESTING HISTORY OF BRIDGE. The proposed remodeling of the High street bridge in this place spanning Spring creek has aroused so much discussion that we opine that 2 little history of the structure will be of interest. Originally there was a covered wood- en bridge there that was about one-third the width of the present structure, then to the south of it a driveway led down to the water where it was customary to water the horses and cows of the town. It was at that watering place that the late David Lieb and William Brachbill were playing as little boys one day in the early sixties when the word spread abroad that an armed force from Pennsvalley was on its way over the mountain to capture Bellefonte. And it was there that the distracted mothers of the two oblivious kids found and yanked them watershed of Spring creek makes for a condition of quick rising and subsidence of the water. Even now it is observed that there will be scarcely any indication today in the stream of the great flood of yesterday. With the forests gone and improved property provided with efficient drainage there is nothing to hold the water back or keep it from dashing di- rectly into the streams so that we believe the future will bring more sudden and higher floods than we have ever had though the normal condition of the water be much lower. Assuming that this is true we are of the opinion that it would be ill advised to put a pier or any other considerable obstruction under the High street bridge. ——Charles M. McCurdy and family moved last Saturday from the Orbison house on east Curtin street to the Schad house on east Linn street. Dr. Edith Schad moved yesterday from Howard street into the Orbison house on Spring street and Ned Heverleys have moved into one of the Steele houses on Pine street. ——-In a lengthy article in last Friday's Lock Haven Express “A Dreamer” agitates the formation of a Tri-County baseball league to take in Williamsport, Jersey Shore, Lock Haven, Renovo, Bellefonte and one other good town; but the real pith of his article seemed to be that the management of the league should be lo- cated in Lock Haven owing to its central location. ——After inspecting the Bellefonte hospital this afternoon the House appro- priation committee will be taken to the Nittany country ciub for dinner. The committee, numbering between thirty and forty, will arrive here from State College about four o'clock this afternoon. The entertainment at the Country club will be provided by gentlemen interested in the local hospital which is hoping for a much needed appropriation from this session. ——The first quarterly communion service of the conference year will be held in the local United Evangelical church next Sunday evening, at 7:30 o'clock. Rev. H. A. Benfer, the new pre- siding elder of Centre district, will preach | the Word and officiate. Rev. Benfer is one of the most able ministers of central Pennsylvania conference and will be sure to please the large audience which should be present to hear him. Quarterly con- ference will meet at the parsonage Friday home to safety in anticipation of the ter- rible (?) assault that never was made. That old covered bridge was the “dead lina" across which the “cheap side” and Bunker Hill" boys never dared venture without chance of being licked by the crowds on either side ever willing to keep up an old feud that was notorious in those days and seldom heard of now. After that covered bridge had outlived | its usefulness it was replaced with a beautiful stone bridge of three arches. The stone structure was also only half the width of High street and increasing traffic on that thoroughfare made it nec- essary to supplement it with a wooden structure covering the rest of the drive: way but not the side walk on the south side. Many of the older residents of the town will recall that for years the side- walk ended at the door of this office and pedestrians on this side of the street were compelled to step out onto the driveway of the bridge in order to cross. Possibly the sight of the late Joe Furey, perched on his familiar seat on the top of the railing that closed the pavement at the corner of the WATCHMAN building, will come into the vision of some of you who recall that bridge. Later a demand for a side walk on the south side prompted council to extend the bridge and to support the middle of the extension a large wooden post was planted in the centre of the creek. The driveway portion of the wooden bridge was supported by a stone pier. This bridge stood until the car works dam went out when the heavy ice floe first knocked out the wooden support of the side walk, then battered down the stone pier and let the entire wooden structure down into the stream forming a perfect dam against the stone arches. For a few moments the flood raised to the level of the street, but before any great damage was done the ice battered the planking through the arches and the current swept on. The next change was made when the stone arch bridge was torn out and the present iron structure erected. There had always been trouble because Water street, at the corner of the Arcade and on the opposite side, was too narrow for ve- hicles to pass. To solve that problem was part of the argument in favor of tearing out the stone arches because thereby two obstructions would be taken out of the stream and the bridge could be made narrower. It was done. Water street at the intersection of High was filled in some four or five feet and new retaining walls built out flush with the new bridge abutment. This, in short, is the story of the High street bridge. For the future it must be borne in mind that more water than ever must be taken care of there. We ven- ture that fifty years from now will find Spring creek dwindled to an insignifi- cant stream, indeed, but its course will become more of a sewer or spillway for nature than ever. The old spring floods when the water would be for sev- eral months continuously a thing of the past.

With a list of fifty preachers to listen to there is promise of enough spice and va- riety for months to come to satisfy the majority of the church members, at least. ——The near approach of spring is awakening enthusiasm in the baseball fans all over the country and naturally the question is frequently propounded as to whether or not Bellefonte will have a team this year. Of course with the un- paid debt of last year's team still hang- ing as a spectre over the management the outlook is a little gloomy, and yet there are a number of men in Bellefonte who are enthusiastic enough to declare that there will be a team. And, as the having of one is mainly a question of money, it remains to be seen if enough men can be found willing to put up the necessary “dough” to get together a team and make it a success. Baseball is already being discussed in neighboring towns and various leagues are being sug- gested in which Bellefonte is included. ——Just two more weeks until the opening of the trout fishing season and practically every fisherman in Bellefonte has his tackle in good shape and anxious- ly awaiting the day.

Her suitor of puritanical ideas, a prominent physician, to prevent her from accom- plishing her life’s dream, sets out to ruin her voice, not from a desire to be wmalic- jous but through a selfish desire accen- tuated by her uuswerving devotion.
