Imma . LENGTHY ‘SESSION OF COUNCIL. Borough Dads Increase Tax Rate One Mill. Other Business Transacted. Another mill was added to the tax | rate of Bellefonte on Monday even- | ing when borough council made the | millage for street purposes for the | year 1918 six instead of five as it has been the past two years. The in- | crease ‘was deemed necessary in or- | der to meet the unusual expense of | paving south Water street. Seven members were present at the | meeting, the absentees being Dr. | Brockerhoff and Theodore Cherry. | There were no verbal communications. A written communication was receiv- ed from John Blanchard Esq., request- ing exonoration of water taxes on his home for the six months it was not occupied during the winter. The | Water committee recommended the | exoneration and it was granted. | A written statement was presented | by chief fire marshall Edward F. Geh- ret showing that to equip the Undine auto hose truck into an up-to-date chemical truck would cost $1208, and to do likewise with the Logan car would cost $2060. Mr. Gehret, how- ever, supplemented his written state- ment by a verbal announcement in which he said that if council would | appropriate $1000 to each company, | the companies themselves would fi- nance the remainder of the cost. Chairman Flack, of the Fire and Po- | lice committee, recommended that the | appropriation be granted. Mr. Har- ris, while not opposing the recommen- dation asked if it wouldn’t be a better | idea to equip one of the companies | this year and the other next, owing to | the fact that there are already in sight so many unusual and extraor- dinary expenditures for this year. The matter was discussed at some length and finally was referred back to the Fire and Finance committees for consideration and report at next meeting. Chairman Harris, of the Street committee, reported the receipt of ten dollars for a sewer permit. He also stated that when men were put to work to repair Linn street it was found that the top dressing had been worn so thin that it was impossible to do the work, and the only way it can be fixed is with a new top dressing of stone and ugite. He recommended that an order be placed for a tank of ugite with which to repair the main streets. Council authorized the plac- SS SA ERS RR ! { | ing of an order for the same. The Water committee reported that the repairs are here for the small | pump and also for the water wheel | and that the same will be put on at | once. The Sanitary committee reported a | nuisance on the Gus Armor property on east Lamb street and they were empowered to take the proper action to have the same abated. The Findnce committee asked for | the renewal for six months of notes | for $3000, $2000, $1100 and $500, all of which were authorized. Under the head of new business | " borough solicitor J. Thomas Mitchell presented the bond, of contractor R. B. Taylor from the Loeb Indemnity Co., of New York, in the sum of | $3,630, and the contract for the bor- | ough’s extra share of paving south | Water street. On motion the presi- | dent and secretary of council were au- | thorized to execute the contract. ! The proprietors of the Wion garage were authorized to put down at their | own expense a proper sewer to take | care of the water from the garage. The Fire and Police committee rec- ommended an increase of five dollars a month in the salaries of both police- men, making the chief of police $75 a month and the patrolmen $70. The same was granted. Mr. Cunningham asked about re- pairs on south Potter street, and as it has been so long since this matter has been before council the members had forgotten how far they had pro- gressed, the matter was referred to the Street committee and borough so- licitor for investigation and report at next meeting. At this juncture James R. Hughes made his appearance and urged coun- cil to hasten the work of putting down the crossing at the junction of Spring and Bishop streets, and the Street committee was instructed to do the job. Mr. Hughes also told council of the desire of the 1918 class to erect a memorial gate at the Bishop street entrance to the Academy grounds and asked permission of council to place the pillars at the designated spot. The matter was referred to the Street committee and borough solicitor for investigation and report. Mr. Seibert stated that before south Water street is paved there ought to be a valve put in the 12 inch water ‘main, otherwise if a break ever occurs the entire service will have to be shut off. He was authorized to get a valve at once and put it in. Bills to the amount of $2800.86 were approved and council adjourned. Mitchell Garbrick was serious- ly injured on Saturday when he fell down the cellar steps at his home on Howard street and, alighting on his head, sustained a concussion of the brain. At this writing his physician is undetermined as to just how serious the injury may be, but the fact that he has been irrational at times is causing his friends some concern. — Rev. T. W. Young is not only a good chaplain of the western peni- tentiary but he is an experienced gar- dener as well, and probably has es- tablished a record for gardening in Bellefonte. On Wednesday of last week, June 19th, he had new potatoes and new beets for dinner out of his own garden, each of the vegetables being about the size of a hen’s egg. ——For high class Job Work come | Church.” to the “Watchman” Office.

War Savings Meetings in Centre County June 28th, 1918. The people of this county are ex- pected to subscribe for and purchase | during 1918, war savings stamps to the ‘maturity value of $876,200. In order to distribute this allotment of war savings stamps equitably among the various parts of the county, a quo- ta has been assigned for each district, which will be stated at the opening of .| the Court and due advertisement ordered. every meeting held on June 28. Our financial aid is needed now as never before. Those of military age are giving their lives in the cause of liberty. It is expected of those who remain at home that they will respond with the necessary funds to strength- en the nation’s defenders and make certain the final triumph of Democ- racy. In order to raise the total amount from this county, it will be necessary that each district subscribe the amount allotted to it. This will not impose any burden on any person in the district if each person does his du- ty, and the persons conducting the meetings in each district have been instructed to insist upon the total amount allotted to it being subserib- ed before the meetings are adjourned. Let each and every person in Cen- tre county resolve to pledge to buy W. S. S. during “the remainder of the year in such amounts as will insure absolute success in these government securities, and that there will be no question but that Centre county will “go over the top.” Very truly yours, W.
