council Burgess W. Harrison Walker
administered the oath of office to poor

When the old council convened
every member was present. The
Street committee presented the report
of the borough manager which
showed that the total collections made
by him from July to January 1st,
1920, were $870.40.
The Water committee presented the
report of the borough manager so far
as it related to that department and
further reported that on east Curtin
street there is a gap of over eight
hundred feet between two fire plugs
and the committee recommended the
placing of an extra plug in the gap,
which was authorized.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported several recent fires and also
presented the burgess’ check for
$27.00 for fines and licenses collected.
The Finance committee reported a
balance in the hands of the treasurer
on January lst of $822.66, after notes
and bills approximating twenty
thousand dollars had been paid. The
committee also asked for the renewal
of notes for $1,500, $1,400 and $2,000
for six months from January 2nd;
one for $5,000 for six months from
January 5th, and a new note for
$5,000.
A communication was received
from D. C. Stackpole, district engi-
neer of the State Highway Depart-
ment, enclosing a complete statement
of the borough’s apportionment for
the building of the highway on south
Water and Willowbank streets, the
total of which was given as $6,070.95.
The original estimate of the work
made the borough’s share a little
more than $7,200. Borough manager
James D. Seibert stated that there
still are some errors in the Depart-
ment’s statement which will reduce |
the total as above given, and the mat-
ter was referred to the Street com-
mittee and borough solicitor to check
up. It might here be stated that the
borough does not owe the above
amount, as payments covering ap--
proximately the entire sum have been
made.
On motion council authorized the
payment of $2,000 into the sinking
fund and gave both fire companies
their customary annual appropriation
of $250. ;
Bills totalling $4,188.81 were ap-
proved and on motion the old council
adjourned sine die.

Forest Ocker, who has been liv-
ing at Rebersburg since leaving Belle-
fonte a number of years ago, was in
Bellefonte last week and assisted in
taking the annual inventory at the G.
TR. Danenhower & Son wholesale gro-

as traveling salesman for the same
company, but has not yet decided as
to whether he will move to Bellefonte
or not.

A photographic corps of the
Goodrich Tire company was in Belle-

back.
bine wheel and dynamo and furnish
the borough all the electricity it
will need for street lighting and to
pump the water for a stated sum of
57.50 a day. The borough manager
stated that the power that would be
furnished the borough would be ap-
proximately 150 h. p. during the night
when the lights are on and 20 h. p.
during the day hours, which ‘would be
sufficient to operate the pump at the
water works. The borough, of course,
would have to provide its own street
wiring and equipment as well as the
pump and motor at the water works.
Under the present contracts with the
State-Centre Electric company it is
now costing the borough $13.20 a day
for street lighting while the pumping
of water runs over eight dollars a day,
or a total cost of approximately
$22.00.
The Special committees recommend-
ed that the recent proposition of the
State-Centre Electric company, which
virtually meant a new contract for
pumping water, be rejected and
council so voted. Report was also
made that the committee expected to
meet officers of the Electric company
on Tuesday for the purpose of effect-
ing a final settlement of old differenc-
es, if possible.
The bonds of Alexander Morrison
and Thomas Morgan, overseers of the
poor, in the sum of $2,000, were pre-
sented and approved.
An application was received from
H. Elmer Yerger for the position - of
patrolman of Bellefonte borough and
the same was referred to the Fire and
Police committee.
The fire companies reported that at
a meeting of delegates held on Janu-
ary 1st Charles Anderson had been
elected chief fire marshall; Allen
Waite first assistant and Frank Hull
second assistant. The matter was re-
ferred to the Fire and Police commit-
tee for recommendation.
Edward F. Gehrett was re-elected
borough treasurer for a term of two
years.
The question of the purchase of new
fire fighting apparatus was again
brought up, but as no definite recom-
mendations were at hand final action
was postponed, president Walker,

trol of jitneys and commercial trucks
within the borough. He stated that
while some owners willingly paid the
license exacted by the borough others
refused and it was necessary to have
an ordinance governing the same in
order to compel the payment of li-
cense fees.
The burgess also asked council to
provide some means of safeguarding
the “kiddies” in their pleasure of
coasting. He suggested that two or
three streets be set aside for coast-
ing privileges from four to ten o’clock
p. m., and that a proper officer be
there at that time to control traffic so
as to prevent accidents. The matter
was referred to the Street committee
with power.
There being no other business to
transact council adjourned.

sity. :
The days may be getting long-
er and the evenings shorter, but the
latter are still long enough to make
the Scenic a very attractive place to
pass the time. The weather may be
cold outside but it is always comforta-
ble inside and the pictures are suffi-
ciently interesting to make the time
pass quickly. There’s a big program
every evening and in order to avoid
missing the best you should be a reg-
ular.

Prominent officers and members of
the order are expected here from
various sections of the State and
there is every reason to anticipate
that it will be a big day for the lady
members of the Catholic church.
——If Bellefonters suffer for lack
of ice next summer it will be no fault
of the weather man. There hasn’
been a day in the past month that
there was enough let up in the cold
weather to spoil the ice in making,
and now itis from afoot to fourteen
inches in thickness. But according to
reports a far larger supply has al-
ready been cut and stored than was
put up last winter and with a new
dealer out at Coleville and George H.
Yarnell’s big ice house down at Hecla
there ought to be plenty of ice for do-
mestic use next summer; especially as
it won’t take so much for highbalils.

New County Officers Sworn In.
Just a little more formality than’
has been customary in the past at-
| tended the swearing in of the new
! county officers on Monday morning.
It just happened that a brief session
‘of court was held that morning and
| after the important business had been
| transacted Judge Quigley suggested |
| that the oaths be administered in open |
court and consequently all the officers |
elect were summoned to the court!
room.
The retiring Prothonotary, D. R.!
Foreman, administered the oaths to
James C. Furst, r-elected District At-
torney, the new County Commission-
ers, Harry P. Austin, George H. Yar-
nell and George M. Harter, and the
incoming Prothonotary, Roy Wilkin-
son.
Mr. Wilkinson then performed his
first official act by swearing in Recor-
der William H. Brown, re-elected.
Recorder Brown then administered
the oaths to Treasurer L. Frank
Mayes, Sheriff Harry Dukeman and
Register Frank Sasserman.
Following him Prothonotary Wil-
kinson administered the oaths of office
to H. W. Irwin and H. C. Valentine,
clerks to the County Commissioners;
C. M. Gramley, T. A. Pletcher and H.
H. Stover, the new County Auditors;
A. Clyde Smith, deputy treasurer, and
Walter Armstrong, deputy recorder.
Judge Quigley then extended the
congratulations of the court to the
new officials and called attention to
the fact that in their oath they had
sworn to discharge the duties of their
office with fidelity and to the best of
their ability and as long as they did
that they could feel assured they
would have the support of the court,
But the court would not withhold cen-
sure if they were derelict in their du-
ties.
The new officers took charge offi-
cially at twelve o'clock. One of the
first acts of the new board of County
Commissioners was to appoint a clerk
for the board of auditors. Ralph
Hartsock, who was one of the retiring
auditors, called the attention of the
Commissioners to the fact that under
a new law they were empowered to

After looking up the law the Commis-
sioners made the appointment, but it
was given to Miss Blanche Malone, of
Snow Shoe, who for some time past
has been assisting with the work in
the county treasurer’s office. Her
compensation was fixed at $60.00 a
month,
All the new officers were entertain-
ed at the Nittany Country club on
Monday evening by the retiring coun-
ty treasurer, David Chambers.

Some Business Plans for the Spring.
* C.'Y. Wagner has completed ‘all
the plans for the erection of his big
flour mill, which is to be located
along the L. and T. railroad just south
of the Pheonix pumping station and
work will begin just as soon as the
weather opens up sufficiently to make
it practicable. It will be of reinforced
concrete, four stories or more high,
and will be built by Geo. E. Rhoads
& Sons.
Notwithstanding the cold weather
work is going right on with the con-
struction -of the big hydrating plant
which the American Lime and Stone
Co. is erecting on the old glass works
meadow.
Few people realize what an im-
mense plant this will be when com-
pleted or what the ultimate purpose
of the company is in its construction.
It will probably be the largest hydrat-
ing plant in the world and, in addi-
tion, will concentrate practically all
of the production of that company at
onc place.
A large rotary lime kiln will be in-
stalled and probably a battery of
twenty-four stack kilns built on that
plot so that all the lime, hydrated
lime and by-products will be made at
the one central plant, which will be
electrically operated and electrically
controlled.
Stone from all the quarries will be
loaded by steam shovels and hauled
to the central plant where it will be’
manipulated as desired into ballast,
fluxing stone, or lime and there will
be no loss or overproduction in screen-
ings for the latter will go right into
the rotary kiln and be converted into
buckwheat lime the advantageous use
of which the trade is just beginning
to discover.
It is expected that cost will be
greatly reduced in this centralization
of the scattered units and that a long
step will have been taken toward the
solution of the labor problem.
Irvin G. Gray to Get New Trials.
On Monday the Supreme court
handed down its decision in the case
of the Commonwealth vs. Irvin G.
Gray in which the judgment of the
Superior court and the sentence of
the lower court was reversed in the
two cases appealed and new trials
awarded Mr. Gray. Mr. Gray is now
serving his sentence of not less than
two years nor more than two years
and six months in the penitentiary on
one case on which he was convicted,
so that just when he will be given
new trials in. the other cases is, of
course, problematical.
Charles D. Fox, of the Wil-
liamsport recruiting station, will be in
Bellefonte one day each week to
answer all questions pertaining to the
U. S. navy; government insurance,
allotments, etc. Enlistments in the
navy are open to all men between the
ages of eighteen and thirty-five. Mr.
Fox can be seen in the vicinity of the
Bellefonte postoffice next Tuesday,
January 13th, when he will gladly
"her niece, Mrs.
appoint a clerk for the auditors, and |
answer all questions asked.

Interesting Aviation News.
While Wednesday was not cold like
some days we have had the pilots on
the aerial mail route were unable to
get over the Allegheny mountains ow-
ing to the density of the clouds. Pi-
lot Robinson got in from New York
and Max Miller started for Cleveland
but when he reached Clearfield he
was confronted with a bank of clouds
that reached virtually from a few
hundred feet of the ground to an
altitude of seven thousand feet, and
he was compelled to fly back to Belle-
fonte. The pilot who left Cleveland
‘flew into the cloud bank at Brookville
and was compelled to come down. Pi-
' lot Stevens, however, made the return
flight from Bellefonte to New York.
As now planned the big Martin
bombers will be put into service as
| mail carriers between New York and
| Cleveland on January 16th, but the
| usual number of DeHaviland cars will
be kept here in case of emergency.
| James C. Maresa, the wireless op-
erator who helped to. install the radio
station on the Bellefonte field and has
since been in charge, was this week

complete the installation of the sta-
tion there. He was succeeded here by
Marshall C. Wright, who arrived in

fonte station easily picks up messages
from all points along the Atlantic
coast as far south as Key West, Flor-
ida, and from vessels five hundred

Joseph L. Montgomery Ill in Sunbury.
Joseph L. Montgomery left Belle-
fonte Wednesday noon, to attend the
meeting of the association of match
companies, of which he is president,
that is now in session in New York
city.
He had not been feeling well for a
few days prior to his departure but
undertook the trip notwithstanding.
As the train neared Sunbury he be-
came very ill, in fact so much so that
he left the train at that place and was
taken to the hospital. Fortunately
Calvin Troup, superintendent of the
Pennsylvania Match Co., at this place,
was traveling with him and was able
to look after his comfort until yes-
terday morning when Mrs. Montgom-
ery went down to be with him . until
he recovers sufficiently to come home.
Word received here yesterday after-
noon was to the effect that Dr. Brin-
ton, of Philadelphia, the specialist un-

‘*. Buster Brown. =
Buster Brown is to be the attrac-
tion at Garman’s this (Friday) even-
ing. It is at least eight years since
this exceedingly amusing musical
cartoon has been seen here and the
present management have seen fit to
invest many thousands of dollars in
new wardrobes, scenery and all nec-
essary accessories. Buster Brown is
of the kind that produces. many a gen-
uine laugh; in’ fact, it was largely
written with that end in view, conse-
quently it is not to be wondered at
that no less than four companies pre-
sented this remarkable success for
one or two consecutive theatrical sea-
sons. Included in the present pro-
duction are girls, girls and girls, for
what would a musical comedy be with-
out the dainty darlings and in this in-
stance, they have been engaged: not
only because they can dance, but for
their singing ability as well.
BIRTHS.
Nancy Lee is the name of a little
daughter born Wednesday, December
10th, to Mr. and Mrs. Paul B. Seanor,
of Roanoke, Va. Mrs. Seanor will be
remembered as Miss Edith Payne.
Mr. and Mus. W. F. Entrekin Jr.
of Orange, N. J., are receiving con-
gratulations on the birth of their first
child, Virginia Bullock, who was born
Monday, January 5th. Mrs. Entre-
kin is well known in Bellefonte as
Miss Harriet Bullock.
Evan Blanchard, son of Mr. and
Mrs. John Blanchard, of Linn street,
met with a mishap while coasting last
week that may result in a few per-
manent scars on his face. With John-
ny Curtin and Billy Potter he had
been coasting out in a field on east
Curtin street where there was no dan-
ger of collision with motors and they
were returning home down the alley
running from Curtin to west Linn.
For a last ride they started coasting
down the alley. All went well until
Evan reached the cross alley at the
rear of the Crider property at the
same time that a truck appeared. He
hit it head on and was cut badly over
the nose and one eye the wounds re-
quiring some stitches to close up. It
is hoped that permanent scars will
not be left but that depends entirely
on how the wounds heal.
