Important Meeting of Borough Coun-
cil
At a regular meeting on Monday
evening Bellefonte borough council
approved the agreement with the
State-Centre Electric company to take
charge of the municipal water works
and install an electric pump to pump
all the water required over and above
the amount pumped by the two hy-
draulic pumps now in use. The agree-
ment is substantially in accord with
the proposition made by the State-
Centre company some time ago and
which was published at length in the
“Watchman” at that time. It is in
effect that the State-Centre company
is to take full charge of the Bellefonte
water department. They will install
an electric pump to take the place of
the steam pump now in use to keep
up the required supply over and above
the capacity of the hydraulic pump
at the spring pumping station and the
one at the Phoenix mill pumping sta-
tion. For the service the State-Centre
company is to receive $18.00 per
million gallons pumped, less five per
cent. for payment within five days;
provided, however, that the minimum
amount to be paid them a year for
this service shall be $260.00, and the
maximum amount $2,200.00. The com-
pany will also have full charge of the
entire water system and the borough
is to pay $200 a year toward the sal-
ary of an inspector and $200 a year
on the salary of a water rent collector,
the company to give bond in the sum
of $5,000 for the faithful performance
of its duty as outlined in the contract.
The above agreement was recommend-
ed by the Special committee and on
motion the president and secretary of
council were authorized to execute the
same as soon as it had been approved
by the State-Centre company and the
bond, duly executed, filed with the
secretary. :
When council convened there were
no verbal communications. Secretary
Kelly, however, read a communication
from the Bell Telephone company of
Pennsylvania authorizing the State-
Centre Electric company to attach
wires to several telephone posts in
order to furnish light for borough
purposes. An application was also
received from John W. Thomas for
appointment as street commissioner,
on which no action was taken.
Mr. Harris, of the Street committee,
reported that he had received an esti-
mate from the Creolite Block com-
pany, of Toledo, Ohio, that the cost
of covering the roadway of the bridge
out near the Phoenix pumping station
would be between $1,100 and $1,200.
The matter was referred back to the
committee and borough solicitor to
see the county commissioners and
ascertain if they would not join in re-
pairing the bridge.
The Finance committee requested
the renewal of a note of $3,000 for six
months from June 21st, and a new
note for $1,300 for three months from
June 20th, both of which were author-
ized.
Mr. Harris, of the Street committee,
reported a bad stretch of boardwalk
along the north side of Pine street,
which is borough property and recom-
mended the putting down of a con-
crete walk and rail. The committee
was instructed to secure bids on the
same and report at next meeting.
Bills to the amount of $423.65 were
approved and council adjourned.
The one big thing that attests
the popularity of any place of amuse-
ment is its attendance. And the very
fact that crowds throng the Scenic
every evening . is evidence that the
people are getting their money’s
worth. Manager T. Clayton Brown has
always made it a rule to give his
patrons the very best in the motion
picture line, big features from the
highest class film producers in the
country. Every picture shown is new
and the quality maintained at all
times. In fact the reputation of the
Scenic extends beyond the confines of
Bellefonte.

——John Scheile, who has been an
assistant at the Pennsylvania railroad
passenger depot in this place the past
few months, was last week appointed
assistant agent at Clearfield and left
on Friday to take up the duties of his
new appointment. Mr. Scheile came
here from Philipsburg when Wilbur
E. Burkholder was appointed agent
at the Philipsburg depot. He is a
courteous and obliging young man
and his many friends are glad to see
his ability recognized, as his new ap-
pointment means a substantial in-
crease in salary.
——Miss Eleanor T. Naughten, who
has charge of speech improvement class-
es in several of the Pittsburgh public
schools, will be at State College during
the summer session. Miss Naughten
trains children who stutter or have oth-
er forms of imperfect speech. While at
* State College, Miss Naughten will come
to Bellefonte and give private instruc-
tion to any person (adult or child) suf-
fering from any of these speech defects.
Arrangements can be made by writing
to her Pittsburgh address, 243 S. Pacific
Avenue, or when . the summer term be-
gins to State College. 24-2t

After a report from the pastors
present, representing their different

: There were many disappointed
girls and boys, as well as older peo-

cluded the possibility of holding the
“Field Day” exercises at State Col-
lege, after the affair had been so
widely and thoroughly advertised.
Those in charge, however, hope to
hold the sports at some later date, due
announcement of which will be made.
