PROCEEDINGS OF BOROUGH COUNCIL.— Every member was present at the regu- mosphere of the council chamber was naturally the newspaper men present — | scented a good story. Council was open- Filent of the church on Thursday even- ed with the usual proceeding by presi- dent Walker and Secretary Kelly read —Only two more weeks until Eas- | the minutes of the previous meeting as ——Members of the Free Methodist : | clearly and concise as ever before. When | church at Unionville last week tendered he concluded Dr. Brockerhoff arose to a point of order and personal privilege, but what he said later must keep until after the next meeting of council, because the press was effectively muzzled prior to adjournment of council and some very vital interests being at stake the ‘press stood for the muzzle. Under the head of routine business Secretary Kelly read a letter from the State Highway Department acknowledg- ing the receipt of the agreements rela- tive to the state-aid route on south Wa-' ter street. > A communication was received from the Civic club relative to flushing the brick paved streets the coming summer, stating that in past years it had cost in the neighborhood of sixty dollars to do the work, practically all the money for which had been solicited and collected by the ladies. And inasmuch assaid flush- ing was a benefit to the entire town the ladies would appreciate any help coun- cil saw fit to give. Permission to do the flushing was granted and council voted the club an appropriation of five dollars a month for five months. A letter was received from John M, Keichline stating that he was unable to get the water rent from the Belle- fonte Gas and Steam Heating company and giving the amount now due the borough as $690.12, exclusive of the first quarter of 1916; asking instructions as to what he should do. On motion Secretary Kelly was instructed to notify the com- pany that if the amount was not paid or satisfactorily arranged for the water would be turned off within twenty-four hours. The Street committee reported log- dragging Linn and Howard streets. The Water committee, preferred the request of George Doll for an extension of the water service to hLis artificial ice plant south of town so that he could use spring water for his ice. Wallace Mar- kle also asked that the water be extend- ed up Pike alley to his property, a dis- tance of about 350 feet. Both requests were referred to the Water committee. The Finance committee reported that $350 had recently been paid on tax liens and there was a balance in the treasury of $234.78... The committee also asked for the renewal of three notes, for $1, 500, $1,000 and $630 for one year from April 7th and a new note for $600 for six months from April 5th, all of which were authorized. Regarding the requests for new lights Dr. Brockerhoff suggested securing the services of Charles Kinsloe, of State Col- lege, for one evening to go around the town and inspect the present lighting system, then do as he says; otherwise council would be continually bothered by some one wanting a light at a certain place. Dr. Brockerhoff also stated that the State-Centre Electric company was ready to paint the electric light poles as soon as council designates the color they would like to have them. As nobody seemed ready to suggest a suitable color the matter was referred to the Special committee. The ‘Water committee reported the receipt of $12.50 from the Bellefonte Engineering company for scrap iron pur- chased by them. After approving bills to the amount of approximately $1,050 council adjourned.

It includes the pelt of a polar bear, snow white, of course, and with fur as soft as silk. The pelt measures nine feet from tip to tip and perhaps a better idea of its size can be had from the fact that the animal when killed weighed an even ton. The pelt is valued at $200. In the collection are a dozen or more ermine pelts, a white fox pelt and ‘a mix- ed fox pelt. There is also a walrus tusk that is estimated to be several hundred years old. ‘The collection was loaned to Montgomery & Co., by W. B. VanValin who brought it east with him ten days ago when he and his brother Raymond came for a visit to their old home at Unionville. William VanValin with his wife and little daughter are residents of Turlock Cai., but they spent four years at Point Barrow, on the northernmost boundary line of Alaska, and it was while there that he acquired the skins now in his collection. .

They named as their first selection Miles Thomas, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Dison Thomas, of Shin- gletown; second, Lee Frazier, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Foster Frazier, of Spring Mills, and third, Ray Durst, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus Durst, of Boalsburg.

The reputation of this Quartet is well established and Bellefonte people need have no fear of the quality of the pro- duction which will be given here.
