Borough Council Proceedings.
Just a quorum was present at the
regular meeting of borough council on
Monday evening, and they sweltered
through as brief a session as possible.
Burgess Blanchard and John J.
Bower Esq., appeared on behalf of a
number of business and professional
men who use Pike alley running
through from the north end of Crider’s
Exchange to Spring street, asking
that a light be placed at the intersec-
tion of Humes alley with Pike alley.
The request was granted.
Samuel B. Miller was present and
asked that Curtin street from Armor
to Wilson street and Wilson from
Curtin to Church alley be vacated.
Mr. Miller explained that when the
two streets were opened about twenty-
five years ago it was with the under-
standing that they would be properly
graded and put in a condition of per-
manency, which might have been an
inducement to the public to purchase
lots and erect houses in that section
of the town. But the streets not being
fixed up rather deterred prospective
buyers and now there is no demand
for lots and little prospect that there
will be for years to come. Conse-
quently the streets as they are now
are more of a nuisance, especially to
the Armor estate, than an advantage.
People travel out that way and right
down through grain and grass fields
to the Armor gap quarries, doing con-
siderable damage, paying no attention
to trespass notices. Mr. Miller stat-
ed that if council would vacate the
portions of the two streets requested
he would obligate himself to permit
of their reopening at sny time there
is a demand for same. The matter
was referred to the Street committee
and borough solicitor for investiga-
tion and report.
Another communication was re-
ceived from Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, of
the State Board of Health, regarding
the progress being made in Bellefonte
toward the establishment of a borough
sewage system. The matter was re-
ferred to the Finance committee and
borough solicitor.
The Street committee reported the
borough engineer’s estimate on a
concrete bridge over Buffalo Run as
$346. After some discussion the presi-
dent requested the Street committee,
borough engineer, borough solicitor
and Finance committee to arrange a
meeting with the County Commission-
ers and see if they wouldn’t join with
the borough in building permanent
bridges over Buffalo Run and on Wil-
lowbank street near the old Phoenix
mill.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported a balance in the hands of the
treasurer on August 7th of $4,419.03.
Mr. Brockerhoff also asked for the re-
newal of a note for $2,000 for six
months from August 7th, which was
authorized. He also recommended that
the tax millage for the ensuing year
be the same as last, namely: Three
mills for borough purposes, six mills
for streets and five mills for interest.
This will yield approximitely $24,313.-
84 for all purposes. Council approved
the recommendation.
Secretary W. T. Kelly presented the
bond of the State-Centre Electric com-
pany in the sum of $5,000, with the
Bellefonte Trust Co., as surety,
which was approved and accepted.
Mr. Seibert, of the Water commit-
tee, reported that the water duplicate
aggregating $8,508.00 had been turned
over to the State-Centre company for
collection. That the said company
had taken over the water pumping
system on July 26th, and the contract
had been officially signed by the com-
pany. The same was presented, ap-
proved by council and president and
secretary authorized to execute the
same.
Mr. Seibert presented a complete
map of the borough done up in book
form, which was recently secured by
the State-Centre Electric company
from the Rand McNally Co., and sug-
gested that the borough purchase such
a map in good binding and that all the
water pipes and connections in the
borough be correctly marked thereon,
with accurate distances, ete. The
committee and borough engineer were
instructed to do the work, not all at
once but from time to time as it is
possible to do it with the least ex-
pense. :
Bills to the amount of $1,970.30
were approved and council adjourned.
——In another column we reprint
an editorial from the Philadelphia
“Inquirer,” principally because it is
fraught with such a sound common
sense view of the matter in this in-
stance local but which has a very gen-
eral application. The “Watchman”
has long felt that the eagerness of
physicians and health officials to con-
serve the public health is gradually
leading them to extremes of precau-
tions that are becoming more of a
hardship, in many cases, than the
disease itself. It is very well and very
proper to avoid exposing oneself di-
rectly to a contagious or infectious
disease, but it is very wrong to start
panic among doting parents when no
good purpose is to be served.

Machine Gun Troop Likely to be
Sworn In.
According to information sent out
from Harrisburg on Tuesday the sit-
uation is now more favorable “for
Theodore Davis Boal’s mounted ma-
chine gun troop te be sworn into the
federal service. Following the exam-
ination on Monday of last week, so
the story goes, the officers were giv-
en to understand that the troop
would be sworn in and accepted but
that all new officers would be appoint-
ed, and they would not be from Cen-
tre county.
Naturally, this did not suit the
present officers nor members of the
troop and Capt. Boal and Lieut.
Thompson immediately got busy.
They visited Washington, New York
and Harrisburg and the result was
that on Tuesday Governor Brum-
baugh announced that the troop
would be accepted and sworn in with
Mr. Boal and Mr. Thompson as first
and second lieutenants respectively,
but that the captain would be select-
ed from among the officers in the
First cavalry.
And it is thus the matter now
A number of the troop were
in Bellefonte yesterday but aside
from the fact that they expected to,
be sworn in soon, they could give no
definite information. ’

Suffragists will Heckle Candidates for
Congress.
crat and Republican candidate for
Congress in both Houses will be asked
by the National American Woman
Suffrage Association, through Mrs.
Frank M. Roessing, chairman of its
congressional committee, to define his
attitude on the woman suffrage issue.
These are the three questions each
candidate will be asked to answer:
1. Are you in favor of woman suf-
frage?
2. If elected will you vote in Con-
gress to submit to the States a feder-
al amendment to enfranchise the
women of this country?
3. If appointed on a committee in
whose jurisdiction such an amend-
ment should fall will you do all in
your power to expedite the passage of
such a measure?
Whether the National Association
will try to defeat candidates whose
answers are not satisfactory would
depend, Mrs. Roessing said, upon the
program adopted at that organiza-
tion’s national convention to be held
at Atlantic City September 6 to 10.
