Good Roads Movement.
In response to a call of J udge Ellis L.
Orvis a well attended meeting was held
at the court house on Tuesday evening to get in line for the “Good Roads Day” on
May 26th, which is Wednesday of next week. On motion a comm
ittee of nine
prominent gentlemen was appointed whose duty it will be to help the cause along
in their section of the county. The committee includes Philip E. Womelsdorf, of
Philipsburg; Thomas Budinger Jr., Snow Shoe; H. Laird Curtin, Curtin; Hon.
John T. McCormick, State College; Harry C. Shirk, Centre Hall; S. Ward Gram-
ley, Millheim; Col. H. S. Taylor, Hard P. Harris and Dr. D. G. Stewart, Bellefonte.

township roads. In this connection the following proclamation has been formu-

Another Lime Industry Possible.
While the WATCHMAN has no definite
information in the matter there are many
rumors afloat to the effect that the Mec-
Nitt Bros., Lawrence McMullen and oth-
ers have about perfected plans to take
over the limestone rights on the Brocker-
hoff farms, east of town, for the purpose
of development and operation.
The story has it that they will also buy
a section of the old Nittany Valley R. R,,
thus giving them railroad connections
with both the P. R. R. and the C. R. R.
of Pa.
If there is anything in these rumors it
would appear that the lime and stone
business is proving very profitable in this :
section, for A. A. Stevens, Esq., of Ty-
rone, has just had completed a survey
for a railroad that will extend from the
B. E. V. tracks near Curtin, through the '
Curtin Gap, to the Curtin farm which '
Mr. Stevens bought some time ago. This
would open up extensive fields of the
“Bellefonte vein” of limestone lying east
of here, for the Curtin farm has large
deposits of it and the Furst farm next,
for which Mr. Stevens is said to have
made a very tempting offer, also has
considerable stone.
