Burgess Blanchard was present and call- ed the attention of council to the urgent need of installing some kind of a fire alarm system. D. Paul Fortney Esq. headed a delega- tion of Undine firemen who were present to enter a protest against their electric light bills. For the month of December the light bill for the Undines was $31.01 and the Logans $14.37. At the first meet- ing in January council passed a resolu- tion appropriating $75.00 per year to each company for light, anything in excess of that to be paid by the company. The light bill for the Undines for January was $15.67 and the Logans between eleven and twelve dollars. Mr. Fortney, as spokesman, protested against the big bill and president Walker told him that the proper thing to do would be to take the matter up with the State-Centre Electric company and find out why the . bill was so high. The Street committee presented a map of Potter street made by the borough engineer preliminary to a general repair of that thoroughfare, but as neither the borough solicitor nor borough engineer were present no action was taken. The Water committee reported meter bills for the quarter running from Octo- ber 14th, 1914, to January 15th, 1915, as aggregating $863.77, and the same had been turned over to’ the collector. Also that a water meter had been put on the Bellefonte Academy. The Fire and Police committee pre- sented two checks from burgess Blanch- ard for fines and licenses collected, one for $16.00 and one for $23.50, making a total of $39.50. The committee also rec- ommended the purchase of a Julius Pearse electric sirene for fire alarm pur- poses, the sirene to cost $225 f. o. b. Den- ver, Col.. and to be sent on fifteen days trial. The committee was authorized to order the outfit and have it installed for trial. The Finance committee reported a balance in the hands of the treasurer of $6,204.66. Also asked for the renewal of a note of $1,000 for one year from Feb- rifaty 6th, ahd one” 6t $2,000 from Feb. ruary 6th, both of which were author: ized. A motion was passed authorizing the treasurer to pay to each fire company their annual appropriation of $250. Bills to the amount of $2,444.28 were approv- ed and council adjourned.

When one reflects upon the thousands of sermons that are delivered every day of stated worship, the breadth of in-: fluence of the pulpit upon the ideals of language can be appreciated. There is probably no other authoritative medium for public instruction that has had nearly as much weight throughout the years in controlling the language of the people. The youth go to the churches and hear from the pulpit either sentences that are chaste, dignified, finely literary or emo- ; tionally expressive, and couched in the : familiar terms of love and graciousness, or they go there and listen to cheap diatribes and disgusting slang and dis- reputable plays with profanity. It is most unfortunate for the pulpit to be in- vaded by the language of the slums, and only those clergymen who are utterly impervious to the direct bearing of language upon life would think of serv- ing up ill-conditioned language for their hearers. #3 Fanny Crosby, Hymn Writer, Dead.
