This Bill Signed by Governor.
Harrisburg, March 20.—Under the
provisions of the Jones Senate bill,
signed by Gov. Brumbaugh today, the
State Highway Department will be
able to use for improvement of state
highways, to be constructed in the
same manner as state-aid highways
money appropriated for either state
highways or state-aid roads.
The Department was held up last
summer by decisions that it could not
employ state-aid money except for
that object. The enactment of the
law will release some cash now, and
will be of advantage in future opera-
tions.
The decisions referred to above
were given by Deputy Attorney Gen-
eral William H. Keller and it result-
ed in halting the plans for the build-
ing of south Water street, Bellefonte,
into a state highway. No® that the
above bill has been passed and sign-
ed it removes the obstacle prevailing
last spring and there is every reason
to believe that the street will be re-
built this spring.

ternoon, after which burial was made

The citizens committee that
has been operating the steam heating
plant since the first of the year are
no doubt breathing easier now. The
first of April is almost here and they
have successfully gone through the
severe cold weather. Since they have
had charge the average daily expense
has been about $140, which makes al-
most $4,500 a month. During Febru-
ary and March the receipts were only
a little over $10,000, so that the com-
mittee has less than two thousand
dollars to go on the balance of the
season. Of course this will not be
enough and a charge will have to be
made for the heat for April but it will
only be about on a par with what was
charged for the month of January,
and it is believed that that amount
will run to the first of June, the end
of the heating season.
