BoroucH Council. HAPPENINGS.—Eight
members were present at the regular
meeting of borough council on Monday
street, was present and asked that prop-
erty owners in that section be required
to put down pavements. The matter was
referred to the Street committee for in-
vestigation and report.
Burgess John J. Bower presented the
request of Emerick Bros., proprietors and
operators of the motor bus line from
Bellefonte to State College, for an ex-
clusive franchise to operate motor busses
on the streets of Bellefonte. In explana-
tion the burgess said that the two cars
they are now operating represent an in-
vestment of ahout $9,000. They have or-
will be here about the middle of the
month and another to cost $6,500 to be
here about the firs: of September. That
the reason they ask for an exclusive
franchise is because they were pioneers
in operating a motor bus line in Luzerne
county and after they had built up quite
a business another company started, got
a franchise and they were driven out, a
thing they don’t want to occur again. The
franchise they ask is for motor busses
alone, and will not cover any other kind
of motor vehicle. The matter was re-
ferred to the borough solicitor for in-
vestigation and report.
A letter was received from N. B.
Spangler, attorney for Gamble, Gheen &
Co., notifying council that if proper sewer
arrangements were not made to carry off
the water from west Lamb street in time
of heavy rains, and preventing it from
flooding their mill, an action for damages
would be brought. The matter was re-
ferred to the Street committee with in-
structions to have the matter attended
to at once.
Mr. Seibert, of the Fire and Police
committee, reported that he had thor-
oughly examined the public building and
that the exterior woodwork and roof
ought to be painted and new spouting
put on. The committee was empowered
to make whatever repairs were neces-
sary.
An ordinance vacating Academy alley
was presented and passed first reading.
This is in line with a request made by
James R. Hughes at a regular meeting of
council on July 7th.
Councilman Paul D. Sheffer asked
what council was going to do in the mat-
ter of the request of Morris & Sheffer
for permission to erect hitching posts in
front of their store on Allegheny street.
There was considerable discussion in re-
gard to the proposition, the preponder-
ance of sentiment being against the
erection of hitching posts there owing to
the street being too narrow. Mr. Sheffer,
however, insisted that he had a right to
hitching posts and made a motion that
permission to erect same be granted. The
motion, however, was not seconded, so
that council could take no action.
Mr. Beezer reported that the glass
works bridge was in an unsafe condition
and the Street committee was instructed
to examine it and report at next meeting
whether it could be repaired or a new
bridge would be necessary.
Burgess Bower called the attention of
council to the fast running of automo-
biles through the streets of Bellefonte.
The new law of 1913 makes the speed
limit fifteen miles an hour through cor-
porate limits and twenty-five miles an
hour on the public highway. But in order
to enforce the fifteen-mile-an-hour limit
it is necessary to erect signs every quar-
ter of a mile, reading “Danger, run
slow,” or something to that effect. Mr.
Walker wanted to pass an ordinance
limiting the speed to ten miles an hour,
but when informed that an ordinance
conflicting with the state law would be
illegal, he suggested that a traffic ordi-
nance be passed, regulating traffic on the
principal thoroughfares as a means of
safety. The matter was referred to the
borough solicitor to prepare an ordinance
and present the same at next meeting.
Mr. Seibert reported that a new flood-
gate was needed at the Phoenix mill
dam and Col. W. Fred Reynolds had
agreed to stand $250 of the expense of
putting in a concrete structure so that it
would be permanent. This will make
thecost to the borough less than it would
be to repair the old wooden structure.
The Water committee was empowered to
go ahead and have the work done. The
burgess presented his report for the
month of July, which showed fines and
licenses collected to the amount of
$56.30; expenditures $37.26, and the treas-
urer’s receipt for the balance, $19.05.
Old notes for $4,000 and $2,000 were
authorized renewed, a new note for
$1,600 and bills to the amount of $1,369.26
were passed after which council ad-
journed.
STATE CONSTABULARY SQUAD FOR
BELLEFONTE. — General orders were
issued last week for a re-assignment of
the state constabulary, the troops to be
divided into squads so as to cover more
territory. A squad of the troop now sta-
tioned at Greensburg has been detailed
for Bellefonte and on Sunday Liew.
William Marsh came to Bellefonte to
make arrangements for their accommoda-
tion. The squad consists of three men,
and for the present their headquarters
will be at the Brockerhoff house, while
their mounts will be kept at Rerick's
livery stable. The building of the new
penitentiary in Centre county and the
outdoor life of the prisoners is doubtless
one reason why a squad of the con-
stabulary has been placed here.

—Mr. John P. Harris was eighty-one
years old on Tuesday and he celebrated
the day by attending to his work, as
usual, as treasurer of the Bellefonte
Trust company. Very few men are found
these days who are in active life at the

spect Mr, Harris is a remarkable man,
as he is to be found at his desk as regu-
lar as the day rolls around. Tuesday
evening about sixty of the older resi-
dents of the town called to pay their
respects to Mr. Harris at his home on

county, spent last Friday night in Belle-

where he held a brief session of court.
The judge is an enthusiastic motorist
and he believes in compelling supervis-
ors to keep the roads in good condition
as was evidenced in the Clinton county

one township five dollars each for neg-
lect of duty and held the supervisors of
five other townships and Mayor Kreamer
and the twelve members of the Lock
Haven council over to the October term
of court on similar charges.

upsetting the sulkey and throwing Mr.
Baney some distance. The man had a
deep gash cut in his leg but he did not
know it until he had gotten on his feet

which he was taken to the hospital and
proper surgical attention rendered. The
colt was uninjured.
