evening, with president Harry Keller in
the chair. In the absence of clerk W. T.
Kelly borough solicitor J. Thomas Mitch-
ell officiated as clerk pro tem.
John Blanchard Esq, was present in
behalf of Miss Rebecca and Joseph J.
Rhoads to find out what council intend-
ed doing toward restoring the front of
their property to a more presentable con-
dition. When the state road was built
through town the grade at the Rhoads
corner was cut down about two feet,
which destroyed their terrace, steps and
approach to the front of the house. This
they would like remedied in some way,
and they also ask council to grade along |
the Water street side cf the property so
they can put down a concrste pavement.
The Street committee and borough engi-
neer were instructed to make an inspec-
tion of the property and figure out some
tangible proposition to recommend to
council at the next regular meeting
Charles F. Cook made complaint about
the luxuriant growth of weeds on the
Gentzel vacant lot, corner of Spring and
Curtin streets, which he proclaimed a
nuisance and menace to the community.
They are now in blossom and if not cut
will pollute the whole neighborhood with
undesirable seed. The borough engi-
neer was instructed to look after the
! matter.
Under the head of written communi-
cations acting clerk J. Thomas Mitchell
read a letter from the Texas Oil company
regarding a good oil for streets which he
read was “forty per cent. alcohol and
one hundred per cent. penetration.”
President Harry Keller was so much im-
pressed with the constituent qualities of
the oil that he asked Mr. Mitchell to re-
read it and on second reading the letter
stated “forty per cent. asphalt” (not al-
cohol,) and immediately council lost in-
terest in the matter.
A communication was received from
Mrs. Ellen Meese making complaint
about an alleged nuisance in the alley in
the rear of her property on Thomas
street. The matter was referred to the
borough engineer for investigation.
In the reports of committees the Street
committee reported a number of bad
pavements throughout the town. Presi-
dent Keller suggested to the Street com-
mittee that they and the borough engi-
neer make a trip all over the town and
get a list of all the pavements needing
repair and report same at next meeting.
Dr. Brockerhoff, for the Village Im-
provement committee, reported that “the
town looks more beautiful now than at
any other time in the year.”
Under the head of old business the
Street committee merely reported “prog-
ress in the matter of the request of the
Moshannon Electric company for a fran-
chise in the borough.
A note for $3,000 was authorized re-
newed for six months and bills to the
amount of $709.70 were approved and
council adjourned.
UNIONVILLE 18 HAPPY.~—Unionville is
very happy because the new municipal
water system there promises to be a
great success. Recently that borough
voted to issue $5000.00 in bonds to cover
the cost of installation of a borough
water service and council got busy at
once. Pipe was bought and a local
plumber employed to superintend the
work. Two large never failing springs
on the Fisher farm were regarded as suf-
ficient to supply abundant water, six,
four and two inch mains were laid and
though the reservoir has not been com-
pleted water has been turned into the
mains by using only a large store box as
an impounding dam and that crude de-
vice has demonstrated the complete suc-
eess of the plan, for there is water every-
where now in the original Temperance
town of Centre county.
The residents up there are looking for
electric light ere long also, as the Mo-
shannon Electric Co., has erected sixteen
poles in the borough. While this has
been done merely to hold the franchise
temporarily it is regarded as a finger
board pointing to the final completion of
the lines of the electric company that
promises to light many rural communi-
ties in this section.
THE “BELLEFONTE SIX.” — When the
“Bellefonte Six” makes its appearance in
the automobile markets it will present so
many improvements over the best cars
of today that it cannot help but be class-
ed as the one up-to-the-minute car.
Everything is moving along splendidly
toward the production of the plant and
the car. J. P. Harbold, of York, engi-
neer and designer of the new car, came
to Bellefonte on Wednesday with tenta-
tive plans for the various buildings of
the plant and in company with general
manager W. P. Seig and engineer J.
Henry Wetzel went out to Hughes field
to look over the site and mark out the
location for the Bellefonte Automobile
Manufacturing company’s plant. It is
expected that work on the buildings will
be begun very shortly. Mr. Seig states
that they have booked orders for twenty-
five cars to be delivered as soon as pos-
sible, which is evidence that the car is
going to be a winner. The board of trade
committee which had in charge the rais-
ing of the money to purchase the site
and disposing of $5,000 worth of bonds
have practically completed the work, so
that every condition is most favorable.

occasions in the past when high water
washed the trout away.

visitor over Sunday with a family in the
neighborhood of VanScoyoc, in Blair

the fruit crop in that section. Apple,
pear and peach trees are heavily laden
while all kinds of berries promise a
bountiful crop. On one mountain slope
strawberries are growing in wild pro-
fusion and the ground is virtually cov-
ered with the luscious fruit, as nobody
takes the trouble to pick them.
