It was a great talk- fest, parliamentary rules were scat- tered to the four winds and questions were discussed without being brought before council in a regular way, and some were not brought at all. It was a verita- ble free-for-all that finally grew irksome a | to some of the members and they stop- ped long enough to listen to the reading of the bills and vote for their approval. Eight members were present, the ab- sentee being Dr. Brockerhoff. Clerk W. T. Kelly read the minutes of the last meeting and when _ president John S. Walker asked if there were any altera- West ward, stated that he wanted to file a protest against the recommendations of the Water committee that the tax rate for this year be the same as last, as he thought it too high. The president told him that was a question that had noth- ing to do with the approval of the min- utes and that he would be given a chance to be heard later, and announced the minutes approved as read. : The Street committee reported in de- tail the work done upon the streets and refuted a report going around town that street commissioner H. B. Kern was do- ing other work while being paid by the borough. When he does other work his time is taken off and in proof thereof the statement was submitted showing that in the last three weeks he was credited with having worked only 16 3-10 days when full time would have given him | eighteen. While talking streets Mr. Nag- iney presented the request of Mrs. H. M. Bidwell that the alley back of the old Undine hose house be cleaned out. Re- ferred to the Street committee. al the water duplicate for the coming year aggregated $8,200, about $160 more than last year. Mr. Seibert further stated that he was going over the metersin the town and some he had found in bad condition, but most of them all right, and heintend- ed going ahead until every meter had been put in good condition and all leak- age eliminated. The meter question brought a response from Mr. Shope in a comparative statement of the water ren- tals of the five hotels in town, all of which are on meters. He stated that during the year from April 1, 1913, to April 1, 1914, the Brockerhoff house had paid $161.70; the Bush house $93.88; the Garman house $17.40; Brant house $23.- tions or amendments Mr. Haupt, of the The Water committee reported that | West Bay City, Mich, and Mrs. E.

According to the above figures the Brockerhoff house paid just $19.13 more than all the other hotels combined, and that certain- ly was not equitable. was paying too much or the others too The matter was referred to the Water committee for investigation as to leaks, meters working properly, etc. At this juncture Mr. Naginey inquired what record council had of the water be- ing used by the Bellefonte Academy. He stated that he had been making an inves- tigation and found that they had a num- ber of shower baths, and bath rooms in the Academy building as well as houses conducted by the Academy, in addition to the general consumption of water, and that neither the Water committee nor council had any record of it. The presi- dent intimated that the question was out of order and Mr. Seibert, of the Water committee, told Mr. Naginey that the committee was perfectly able to take care of everything in its department and would do so when the proper time came. Mr. Naginey said he wasn’t blaming the committee, but giving information that he thought council ought to have. The treasurer’s report showed a bal- ance in the treasury on April 1st of little. $283.75. Mr. Harris, of the Street committee, presented a petition from residents of south Water street and Willowbank street for a state highway on those thor- oughfares as far as the borough line, to be built in accordance with the provis- ions of the state aid plan of the High- way Department.

On January 20th, 1870, she was united in marriage to Ellis Pfoust and for many years they resided at Pennsylvania Fur- nace. Fifteen years ago the family moved to Tyrone where they have lived legheny to Spring and out Spring and Pine streets to the borough line. This petition was also signed by two-thirds of the adjacent property owners. Resolu- tions were passed enjoining the county commissioners to join with the council in petitioning the Highway Department for State aid. Mr. Harris stated that the preliminaries had all been settled and as soon as the proper papers were officially filed engineers would be sent here to lay out the road, which they expected would be within ten days. : Under the head of old business Mr. Seibert was asked what had been done regarding the repairs at the Phoenix mill pumping plant. He reported that the contract had been let for the repairs specified at the last meeting, and again brought up the subject of a new turbine wheel. Mr. Seibert for some time has been insistent on the fact that the pur- chase of a new wheel would not only add efficiency to the pumping service but would be a matter of from $600 to $800 less expense a year, an eccnomy worth considering. He talked old and new wheel for some time then stated that it was possible that new gearing on the old wheel would partly solve the trouble. He submitted a letter showing that new gear- ing could be secured for $116, and if they RT ' | did not give the desired satisfaction a new wheel could be purchased later and . the same gearing could be used on it. On recommendation of the Special committee council passed a resolution authorizing the purchase and installation of the new ' gearing. The Finance committee asked for the renewal of a note of $1,000 for six months from April 7th, and a new note for $630 | to meet current bills. Both were au- thorized. ! Mr. Cherry made report of the bad ' condition of the crossing over west Lamb street from the Gerberich to the Criss- man residence; also that a number of boardwalks on Thomas street were in a | The matter was referred | bad condition. | to the Street committee and borough so- | licitor. President Walker then gave Mr. Haupt | an opportunity to be heard, and he again | entered protest against the high water ‘rate. In support of his statement he ' said the auditor's report showed a bal- | ance in the water fund of over $1,200; | about $500 rent due on the Phoenix mill | property and a saving of $600 a year by ! reason of dispensing with the office of ! borough engineer.

And, in addition, | he stated, the small users were paying | the bulk of the tax. That they were paying about thirty cents a thousand gal- | ons for water to six cents for those on meters. President Walker told Mr. : Haupt he was wrong in his figures and i clerk W. T. Kelly told him while such figures appeared on the auditor's state- ment as a matter of book-keeping there was no such actual amount of cash on hand or in sight. Mr. Haupt, however, made a motion that the water rate for the ensuing year be reduced to sixty per | cent. of the schedule rate, or what it was during 1912. The motion was not sec- onded and thus died a natural death. President Walker named Wednesday, April 22nd, as the time for holding the water appeals. , Bills to the amount of $1,060.55 wer: approved and council adjourned. —— ——.— MUSSER — LONG.—Announcement has just been made of the marriage of Robert C.

YouNe MAN ELECTROCUTED.—Joseph Shay, of Howard, a brother of Miss Em- ma Shay, was electrocuted on Tuesday afternoon by coming in contact with a high tension wire of the Northumberland Gas and Electric company in the West Milton yards of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad company. Shay in company with four compan- ions freighted it to West Milton. While waiting their time to catch another freight Shay made a wager he could climb to the top of a tall pole which car- ried the charged wires. His companions tried to dissuade him but he would not heed. He climbed the pole and just as he reached the top his right shoulder came in contact with one of the wires. He swayed an instant and then his dead body dropped to the ground. | Shay was about twenty-nine years old and was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Shay, of Howard, who survive with a number of brothers and sisters. The re- mains were taken to Howard where the funeral will be held to-morrow. ——When you can get the best as cheap as you can get the cheapest, why don’t you do it.
