Doings of the Borough Dads.
Seven members were present at the
regular meeting of borough council
en Monday evening, the absentees be-
ing Messrs. Cherry and Brouse, of the
West ward.
There were no verbal or written
communications. Chairman Harris,
of the Street committee reported
south Water street practically com-
pleted to the railroad and that ar-
rangements were being made to find
an outlet for the Pennsylvania Match
company by way of the Bellefonte
Lumber company yard while that por-
tion of the road between the railroad
and the bridge is being bricked.
Chairman Seibert, of the Water
committee, reported repairs complet-
ed at the Phoenix pumping station
and that progress was being made in
the matter of checking up the water
tax delinquents.
Chairman Flack, of the Fire and
Police committee, reported the elec-
tric sirene fire alarm as being out of
order. He stated that an examina-
tion disclosed the fact that the bear-
ings were literally congealed to the
shaft, the result of the lack of oil.
The committee was instructed to have
the alarm put in shape at once.
The Finance committee reported a
balance in the hands of the treasurer
on December 2nd of $2733.84. A note
for $2000 dated November 22nd, was
presented for renewal for six months
and three notes for $600, $5000 and
$1500 respectively, dated December
6th, were also presented for renewal
for three months, all of which were
authorized.
The question of defective pave-
ments was brought before council ow-
ing to the petition of residents of
north Spring street for a better pave-
ment along the John Porter Lyon
home, and residents of Curtin street
about the dangerous condition of the
boardwalk along the south side of
that thoroughfare. Among the pave-
ments mentioned on the main streets
of the town that are badly in need of
repair before winter sets in are those
in front of the Elks home and the
Wilson property on the south side of
High street; the pavement at the Val-
entine property on High and Spring
streets, and the pavement at the
Brockerhoff property on Bishop and
Spring streets. The reporters were
requested to publish the fact that
council will enforce the ordinance re-
garding the putting and keeping of
all pavements, wherever located, in
a safe condition for travel.
Borough solicitor J. Thomas Mitch-
ell presented a written opinion on the
legal status of south Potter street, so
far as it was possible to obtain facts
thereon, and in the solicitor’s judg-
ment the buildings erected thereon on
the south side of that thoroughfare
have no legal status and should be re-
moved. The question of the exact lo-
cation of this street has been a bug-
bear before council the past three or
four years and as no way has so far
been found to reach an amicable ad-
justment of the matter members of .
council evidently deemed it best to
test the matter out in the courts and
to this end the borough solicitor was
instructed to prepare a bill in equity
requiring the owner or owners of the
buildings in question to show cause
why they should not be removed and
the street located as originally laid
out.
Bills to the amount of $3219.88 were
approved and council adjourned.

live with their daughter in Wiscon-

Poland Larger than France.
Through German sources of infor-
mation there seems to have come a
prevailing impression in the United
States that the Polish nation is small
—one not larger in numbers and ter-
ritory, for example, than Serbia. The
fact is that Poland when reunited
would be one of the most homogene-
ous people in Europe, for it would
have a territorial area considerably
larger than that of France; in it there
would be more than thirty millions of
people speaking pure Polish, and in
addition other ethnic strains like the
Slovaks, who practically speak Polish.
Is not the question whether 30,000,-
000 of people of the same racial stock
and speaking the same language shall
come justly to their own, which has
been taken away from them by des-
potic military power, one of the great
questions of the war?
The figures in so good an authority
as the Statesman’s Year Book of Eng-
land give the number of Polish-speak-
ing people in what are commonly re-
garded as the Polish provinces of Rus-
sia, Prussia and Austria as 20,000,
000. Polish statistics, as we have al-
ready intimated, largely come from
German sources and it is the politic- |’
al interest of Austria and Germany,
as it was before the war to the Ro-
manoff dynasty, to make the number
of ethnically distinct Poles as small
as possible. Moreover, the statistics
in the Statesman’s Year Book ac-
count only for Galicia (or Austrian
Poland); Posen (or Prussian Poland),
and so-called Russian Poland, often
spoken of as the Vistula province.
There are in addition the provinces of
East Prussia (where all the peasants
even under the strict control of Ger-
many speak Polish), and Lithuania,
Podolya and Volhynia, the last three
being under Russian control.
If the inhabitants of these provine-
es, which should rightly form an in-
tegral part of the new Poland, are
taken into account, the total number
of Polish-speaking people in what is
rightly Polish territory would un-
doubtedly amount to about 30,000,000.
Soft Coal is Cheaper.
The expected break in the soft coal
market has begun. The curtailments
of industry following the armistice in
the face of a 13 per cent. increase in
the bituminous output has weakened
the demand so that there are now
many instances of coal selling below
the government price. Consumers
are delaying purchases till coal gets
cheaper.
Naturally, the lower-grade coals
were affected first. Distributors re-
port sales 40 cents a ton below the
fixed maximum at Cleveland, Ohio;
20 cents below in Chicago, and great-
er reductions in Montreal.
They predict that in two or three
weeks all grades will be selling below
government prices in the coal market
throughout the country. But for the
influenza epidemic, which has slowed
up production for the last two months
so that the present output is running
about where it was at this time in
1916 and 1917, the break in prices, in
their opinion, would be general now.
To find a way of saving the situa-
tion for the industry, a committee rep-
resenting the National Coal Associa-
tion has been laboring with the War
Trade Board the last few days. The
condition is accentuated just at this
time by the closing of lake navigation
to coal. Boats now have to go with-
out insurance. A few may take a
chance to meet a special demand, but
lake coal movement is practically at
an end for this year. That throws
the whole output elsewhere.
The best opening in prospect for
the accumulating supply of soft coal
is thought to be in the expansion of
the export coal trade, and it is with
this in view that the National Coal
Association has appealed to the War
Trade Board.
Men Fight Dogs for Food.
London.—Dogs and men are bat-
tling in Petrograd for the flesh of
horses which drop dead in the streets,
according to a British business man
who has just arrived in London. He
escaped from Petrograd early in No-
vember and evaded the Bolshevik
guard at the Finnish border at night.
The Bolshevik government, he said,
has announced since the recapture of
Kazan, Simbirsk and Samara, that
they would have grain enough to feed
the soldiers, sailors and their own
partisans throughout the
persons. As a result money has lost
its food-buying power and the non-
Bolshevik Russians are in a desper- |
ate condition.
