TO REBUILD SOUTH WATER ST. Council Must Take Action by Next Monday Night. The bone of contention at Monday night’s meeting of borough council was the question of building a state road on south Water and Willowbank streets to the borough line. In the regular course of business secretary W. T. Kelly presented an agreement with the State Highway Commission and an ordinance providing for the rebuilding of the street upon which action was requested at once so it could be gotten back to the Commis- sion before the opening of the bids for the road contract, which will be next Tuesday. Blueprint plans of the route were also presented showing a slight change in grade along some portions of it, from the plans origi- nally presented. Dr. Brockerhoff at this juncture in- terposed the question as to whether two-thirds of the abutting property owners had signed up to pay their ap- portionment of the cost of construc- tion. When informed that there had been no time now to attempt to secure such signatures, but that there was an old paper in existence somewhere which was gotten out about eighteen months ago when the original peti- tion for the building of the road was presented, he demurred and said that was not sufficient. That while he was in favor of building the road he did not think the borough alone should assume the responsibility and he was opposed to going ahead with it on the assumption that the abutting proper- ty owners would pay their share. He asked that a signed agreement be first presented to council before any action be taken. The result was the meeting was adjourned until Wednesday even- ing to give ample time for any action along that line. When council met in the adjourned session Wednesday evening six mem- bers were present. President Walker stated that up to that time no person had been able to find the petition signed by the abutting property own- ers two years ago and suggested that the only thing to do was get out another petition at once and get it signed up. As this wili take several days he further suggested that coun- cil again adjourn until seven o’clock next Monday evening and then, if everything is in readiness, it will take but a few minutes to act legally and the notice can be sent to Harrisburg that night and be before the Highway Commission on Tuesday morning. Thus the matter is now up to the property owners along south Water and Willowbank streets. If they want a state road there they should sign the petition promptly when presented to them. And they must bear in mind the fact that if they allow this cppor- tunity to pass it may be years before they will get another such a chance. When council convened on Monday evening President John S. Walker an- nounced that John S. Ginter, of Ty- rone, was in receipt of a letter from the Treasury Department at Wash- ington stating that after the Hoover block of the Pruner estate had been taken over by the United States gov- ernment for a postoffice site, if the courts decided such a transfer as le- gal, the government would accept but $250.00 a year from the revenues of the same until such time as the prop- erty should be taken over, allowing all the balance to go to the Pruner or- phanage. A letter was received from A. J. Musser, secretary of the State-Centre Electric company, acknowledging the notification that the council would ex- ercise its right and accept the com- pany’s proposition to pump the water for a period of ten years. The Street committee reported the receipt of ten dollars for a sewer per- mit at the James Curtin house, and also some street repairs on Quaker hill and a general cutting of weeds and cleaning up of the streets. The Water committee reported making a pipe connection for Mr. Sny- der on north Thomas street, making a tap for Dave Washburn on Curtin street and repairing the Phoenix sta- tion. Mr. Seibert also called atten- tion to the fact that the water supply in the reservoir was not being kept up as high as it should be and that on some four or five occasions it was en- tirely empty. The Fire and Police committee pre- sented the burgess’ check for $23.00 for fines and licenses collected. Mr. Flack also called attention to the fact that there ought to be a fireplug near the Beaver and Hoy row. The matter was referred to the Water committee for investigation and report. The Finance committee presented the treasurer’s report showing a bal- ance due him on August 1st of $226.- 53, and asked that a note be author- ized for $2,000 for three months to pay current bills. The same was au- thorized. Mr. Harris presented a complaint from Mrs. J. L. Montgomery about water running into the cellar of her home and the matter was referred to the Water and Street committees for investigation. Mr. Harris called attention of coun- cil to the heedlessness of automibil- ists in regarding the traffic ordinance and suggested that some action be taken to enforce it. The Fire and Po- lice committee was requested to see what could be done in the matter, as there is general complaint about the speeding and disregard of the traffic rules. > Bills approximating $2,100 were ap- proved after which council adjourned to meet on Wednesday evening. ——M. J. Watt, of Tyrone, but for- merly of Ferguson township, is seri- ously ill with a nervous breakdown. Is He a Spy? During the past week a man of Ger- man origin if not German birth has heen traveling through Pennsvalley berating the United States govern- ment and upholding Germany in all its outrageous contentions. The man has all the appearances of a tramp but the fact that he is apparently fairly well educated and intelligent led the people of that valley to regard him with considerable suspicion, some even going so far as to believe him a spy in the employ of the German gov- ernment, though what he would be trying to spy out in Pennsvalley is hard to understand. At any rate he made himself so ob- noxious to the patriotic people of the South side that complaint was made to sheriff Yarnell and he authorized the man’s arrest on the grounds of be- ing a -suspicious character. Conse- quently ex-sheriff A. B. Lee took the man in charge and brought him to Bellefonte yesterday morning and he was locked up in the Centre county jail pending an investigation of his case. Sent to Jail for Handling Liquor Il- legally. Robert Folk and Curtin Tressler, two Bellefonte young men, were sent to jail by Judge Quigley an Tuesday for handling liquor illegally. Tress- ler was given a sentence of three months and five hundred dollars fine for selling liquor without a license and Folk was given sixty days and twen- ty-five dollars fine for furnishing liquor to a man of intemperate habits. From the young men’s own evidence it appears that Tressler, who was twenty-two years old in July, purch- ased a quart of whiskey for the use of himself and some others on a trip to Miilheim. The trip was abandoned and he was later approached by Folk who asked for the whiskey. Tressler told him he could have it for just what he paid for it, and Folk purchased the bottle and then gave it to 2 man of known intemperate habits, and both will now have plenty of time to think the matter over. Lock Haven Business Men Visit Belle- fonte. On their annual outing the Lock Haven business men visited Bellefonte last evening. They left Lock Haven Tuescay morning to motor to Mt. Car- mel te attend a business men’s con- vention and returned by Lewisburg and through Pennsvalley to Belle- fonte. They were 150 strong and when arriving here parked their thir- ty-one cars on Bishop street, then headed by their band of 64 pieces pa- raded out Allegheny street to the school house aad return. After a short chat with some of our business men they proceeded homeward. ——On Thursday of last week Dee- mer T. Pearce, sealer of weights and measures for Centre county, ar- rested E. H. Schindlemeyer, an Altoo- na huckster, who was selling short weight potatoes to Sandy Ridge citi- zens. In fact he was selling them 48 pounds for a bushel instead of 60. He was taken before Squire Merryman, at Sandy Ridge, who imposed a fine of $15 and costs, or $23.15 all told, and Schindlemeyer settled. ——On Friday evening while Mr. and Mrs. James Weit, of Aaronsburg, were out driving with a colt hitched in the buggy, the animal frightened at a passing automobile and jumping to onz side upset the vehicle. Both occupants were thrown out and Mrs. Wert sustained injuries which have kept her in bed ever since, though it is not believed there will be any seri- ous results. Miss Rebecca Rhoads assisted by Dr. and Mrs. R. L. Weston, was hostess at a lawn fete Tuesday even- ing, at which Troop L and the hos- pital unit were guests of honor. Mrs. Theodore Kelly was hos- tess at a supper party given at the Country club, Tuesday evening, in compliment to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hamiltor, of New York city. Draft Army to be Mobilized Sept 1st. Washington, August 8.—More than 200,000 men c¢f the selective draft forces will be called to the colors Sep- tember 1 to go immediately to their divisionl training cantonments. This will bring the strength of the United States army on that date up to prac- tically 1,000,000 men. Brigadier General Crowder, provost marshal general, dispatched the fol- lowing telegram to the Governors of the States today cautioning them to make certain that the first one-third of their quota of the first increment of registered men is ready in time: “New regulations governing mobil- ization and the certification of men from district boards to adjutants gen- eral will be mailed to you or August 9. In the meantime, local boards should certify to district boards daily those who have been called and who have not been exempted or discharg- ed either because they failed to file any claim or because their claim has been decided adversely. “Strict compliance with this rule is necessary since on September 1 the War Department will call for not to exceed one-third of the quota from each State to be entrained for mobil- ization camps between September 1 and September 5. Unless we wish to be put in a position of not furnishing men as fast as the War Department is ready to receive them, each State should have accumulated by Septem- ber 1 a minimum of one-third of its quota not exempted cr discharged. This can only be attained if local boards certify these lists up with great expedition.” ——If every one of the country’s 20,000,000 homes throws away one slice of bread a day, it means wasting daily 875,000 pounds of flour, or enough for more than 1,000,000 loaves of one pound a day.
