Bellefonte, Pa., March 5, 1920.
What the Borough Dads Did on Mon-
day Evening.
Eight members were present at
Monday evening’s meeting of borough
council, the absentee being Mr. Knise-
ly, of the West ward.
Secretary W. T. Kelly presented a
petition from the Civic committee of
the Woman’s club protesting against
any change in the curb line or shade
trees along that portion of Allegheny
street from Pike alley to Howard
street. The petition was referred to
the Street committee.
Secretary Kelley also presented the
auditor’s statement for the year 1919
and the Finance committee authorized
the printing of same for general dis-
tribution.
The secretary also read the corres-
pondence with the State Highway De-
partment relative to the financial con-
dition of the borough, and especially
as to how the borough has arranged
to finance the building of the state
highway on route 27, or from Alleghe-
ny street on Bishop to Spring and
Pine streets to the borough line. The
secretary furnished the Department
with a detailed statement of the bor-
ough’s assets and liabilities and is
now awaiting a reply from the De- |
partment.
Louis Grauer, in behalf of Lyon & |
Co., protested against the charge for
water tax on the studio on the second
floor of the Lyon & Co. building,
which has been vacant since 1915, and
also that for the garage, which has
been vacant since 1916, a total tax of
$8.25. The matter was referred to
the Water committee.
Chairman Harris, of the Street
committee, reported that the borough
manager had made the discovery that
the spider on the road roller was
broken and it was very essential to
have it repaired before there will be
a call to use the machine. Inasmuch i
as it is an intricate piece of work the |
borough manager was authorized to |
send it back to the factory at Buffa-
lo, N.Y.
The Finance committee reported a |
balance due the treasurer on March |
1st of $935.76. Authorization was re-
quested for the renewal of three notes |
for $1,000, and one for $700, and a |
new note for $3,000 to pay overdrafts, |
current bills and interest on bonded |
debt, all of which were authorized.
|
Mr. Richard, of the Special com-
mittee, reported that the committee |
had met officials of the State-Centre |
Electric company on February 14th in
an effort to adjust the water pump-
ing question and that said company ,
at that meeting submitted two propo-
sitions.
pump water for $18 per million gal-
lons, less five per cent. for the prompt |
payment of bills as rendered per |
month, up to 140,000,000 gallons max- |
imum; and for any amount over and |
above that quantity that the company |
would be required to pump the regu- |
lar kilowatt charge would be made. i
Or they would run the electric pump
all night, from six o’clock in the |
evening until six o’clock in the morn- |
ing and pump at a price of $17 net
per million gallons, the minimum
charge for the year being $260.00.
The matter was referred to the Water
committee for further investigation |
and report at next meeting and the
secretary was notified to so instruct
the company.
President Walker appointed A. M.
Barr as an auditor for the
orphanage account and the appoint-
ment was confirmed by council.
The president also named Tuesday
evening, March 9th, at 7 o'clock as
the date for hearing the water appeals
for the duplicate of 1919, and the!
place the borough council chamber.
The abnormal use of water in the |
borough was then taken up for discus-
sion and some of the members ex-
pressed the belief that it would be a
paying proposition to install water
meters on every user in town, then
the family or firm that used the water
would have to pay accordingly and
those who were saving of it would
benefit by a reduction in their tax.
While no definite action was taken
the borough manager was instructed
to get prices on the number of meters |
that would be required. Inasmuch as
there are at present 1100 water users
in Bellefonte according to the recent
assessment it will require at least
that many meters to go around.
Mr. Harris, of the Street committee,
presented a copy of the Lancaster

daylight savings ordinance which was
read for the first time. In connection
therewith secretary Kelly read a com-
munication from the Pennsylvania
railroad company stating that up to
this time they had not even consider-
ed changing their time as per the day-
light saving schedule. The ordinance
was therefore held over until the next
meeting night.
Mr. Cunningham asked if it would
not be a wise move to have the bor-
ough manager undertake to clean up
the 1918 water tax duplicate so that
the 1919 duplicate can be turned over
for collection, and was informed that
the matter was practically in the
hands of the committee. There is still
due on the 1918 duplicate in the
neighborhood of $3,600 and if the
State-Centre Electric © company has
used every means to collect the same
and been unable to do so they have
the right, under their agreement, to
turn the duplicate back to the com- |
mittee. If this is done delinquents
will be called upon to settle promptly
or the water will be turned off at once.
Bills to the amount of $789.42
were approved and council adjourned.
February and Its Five Sundays.
The “Watchman” last week pub-
lished a little local furnished by a
minister of the town exhorting peo-
ple to go to church on Sunday as they
will not have such another opportuni-
ty in “forty years, to go to church on
the fifth Sunday in February.” Every-
body now knows that there were five
Sundays in February this year, and
the fact has been commented upon in
newspapers generally as something
very unusual. But it is not so excep-
tionally rare as the public have been
led to think. Rev. Isaac Krider, a na-
tive of Centre county, and now the
beloved pastor of the Lutheran church
at Duncansville, Blair county, writes
the “Watchman” that February had
five Sundays in 1824, 1852, 1880 and
11920, and will have five Sundays in
1948 and 1976. He states that the
month has had and will have five Sun-
days every twenty-eight years ex-
cept the period including the certury
year when it is forty years, with the
single exception of the year 2000.
