Charles Kellerman, a former
Bellefonte boy who for some time past
has held the position of electrician at
the Nickel-Alloy plant at Hyde City,
has been promoted to master mechan-
ic, with a corresponding increase in
salary.
Dating from April first the
Hayes Run Fire Brick company vol-
untarily granted all their employees
a substantial increase in wages; prob-
ably to meet the advance granted by

Two errors crept into the obif-
uary notice of the late John W. Fike,
published in the “Watchman” last
week. Instead of being fifty-three
years old he was sixty-two and his
only survivor is his brother, G. H.
Fike, of near Bellefonte. A
Rev. C. F. Kulp, of Philipsburg,
has been appointed director in Centre
county of the campaign in which Bap-
tists throughout the north and west
seek to raise $100,000,000 between
April 25th and May 2nd. He will or-
ganize the Baptist churches in Centre

While everybody in Bellefonte
is naturally interested in the various
" home talent entertainments, don’t for-
get that manager T. Clayton Brown is

or tomorrow to accept the position of
police officer and street commissioner
for State College borough. Mrs.
Bowersox will spend some time visit-
ing friends in Pittsburgh and in
Washington county before she re-
turns.
Easter weather on Sunday was
not very propitious for the display of
new spring wearing apparel. It not
only rained most of the day but snow-
flakes flew a plenty and the air was
cold and gloomy. In fact the rain con-
tinued until noon on Monday. But
notwithstanding the weather many
new hats and gowns were in evidence,
but they were not out on parade for
~any length of time.
~The new state forest commis-
“sioner, Gifford Pinchot, denies the
story which has already been widely
printed thoughout the State, that the
Forestry Department will exercise
control over farmers’ woodlots and the
cutting”of timber on private lands.
Mr. Pinchot states that the farmer or
any other land owner has the same
right he always had to cut his own
timber as he pleases. The only power
vested in the state forester is control
over state-owned lands.
— Joseph N. Robinson, the new
agent of the Centre county Farm Bu-
reau, advises farmers to treat their
oats for smut before planting. Last
year about one hundred and fifty far-
mers in Centre county treated their
seed oats for smut and the average
gain per acre of oats treated over that
untreated was $2.76 over and above
the cost, which is quite nominal. Any
farmer wishing information along
this line should communicate with the
farm agent in Bellefonte.
i PIGS AND PIG PENS.
| Borough Council Asked to Abate the
| Nuisance. Other Important
Business Transacted.
{
|
| Pigs are pigs these days, especially
| by the time they reach the pork state
‘and have arrived in the Bellefonte
| meat markets, and the man who has
{a few of them has a little gold mine
| all his own, but some people object to
| the mine being in very close proximi-
ty to their abiding place. At least
{ that was the purport of a written com-
plaint presented to council on Monday
| evening by the Pennsylvania Match
company, alleging that a number of
| pig pens in rather close proximity to
their office were very offensive and
quite naturally unsanitary. Pig pens
in rather close proximity to dwelling
houses in other parts of town were
also reported. The six members of
council present at the meeting were
somewhat perplexed as to their power
in the matter of abating the nuisance.
The borough code passed by the Leg-
islature provides that boroughs can
pass an ordinance prohibiting the
raising of hogs within the borough
| limits, but so far this has not been
done, and some members of council
are rather opposed to the idea, be-
cause they rather favor the working
man raising his own pigs, but they
also favor keeping the pigs and pens
clean and sanitary. The matter was
finally referred to the Sanitary com-
mittee and the acting borough solic-
itor to evolve some satisfactory solu-
tion of the trouble.
Miss Emily Valentine sent a letter
to council stating that the water tax
assessed against her for property No.
18 on Curtin street is an error, as she
is not the owner of said property.
A communication from the secreta-
ry of the Association of Boroughs of
Pennsylvania was presented to coun-
cil, in which notice was given that the
annual meeting this year will be held
at Stroudsburg June 22nd to 24th, in-
clusive, and inviting council to send
representatives. No action was taken.
The Street committee reported the
collection of $20.10 for a sewer per-
mit and labor on private property.
The Water committee reported re-
pairing a bad leak on High street and
other minor repairs made. Also the
collection of $489.90 on the water tax
duplicate of 1918, leaving a balance
of $539.57, still uncollected. They al-
so reported the collection of $583.32
from G. R. Danenhower & Son for
rent of the Phoenix mill property to
April 1st, 1920, and that the water
duplicate for 1920 amounts to $9,718.-
25, exclusive of meter bills.
The Finance committee presented
the report of the borough treasurer
showing a balance on hand of $662.43.
The treasurer was authorized to re-
new motes for $2,000, $1,100, $2,000,
$600, S100: $630 and $400. ;
The Special committee presented a
new proposition from the State-Cen-
tre Electric company in which said
company offers to pump all the water
needed in the borough over and above
the amount pumped at the Phoenix
mill station at a flat rate of $18 per
million gallons, with five per cent. dis-
count for prompt payment of bills
of the oversight of the hydraulic
pump and the inspection and repair of
water service system. But they will
continue the collection of water taxes
for which the sum of $200 per year is
to be paid. Council voted to accept
the proposition and the committee was
instructed to request the State-Centre
company to present a supplementary
agreement covering the offer for rati-
fication of council.
Mr. Fauble presented the bonds of
the overseers of the poor which were
approved by council.
A resolution was passed accepting
the grades of the State Highway De-
partment for the new highway on
Bishop, Spring and Pine streets, and
council authorized the execution of
the contract with Frank Murray, of
Altoona, for the building of the road.
In connection therewith the Water
committee recommended the laying of
a six inch water pipe from the head of
Stony Batter to the corner of Bish-
op and Spring streets, a distance of
approximately 400 feet. This would
tem and would protect the town in
case of a break in the big main on
Water or High streets. Council au-
thorized the laying of the pipe.
Mr. Cunningham, as chairman of
the Water committee, reported
against the purchase and installation
of water meters at the present time.
He stated that Bellefonte is not up
against the question of water. That
we have all the water needed and mil-
lions of gallons going to waste. The
only thing at issue is the cost of
pumping and if council would be a
little more careful in the granting of
free privileges to industrial establish-
ments the cost of pumping will prob-
ably be satisfactorily adjusted. Chair-
man Cunningham’s recommendation
was accepted and the question of pur-
chasing meters was laid on the table.
Complaints having been made to
members of council about bad pave-
ments here and there around the town
the borough manager was instructed
to make a complete inspection of the
walks in town, make a list of those
needing repair or new walks and re-
port the same at the next meeting of
council. Action will then be taken
promptly to compel property owners
either to repair their old pavements
or put down new ones, and the bor-
ough manager will be empowered
with authority to see that the work is
promptly done, and no excuses will be
taken.
Mr, Cunningham made a motion
that the salary of the secretary of
council be increased from $15 to $26
monthly; said company to be relieved .

condition of all the pavements and | uations.
' 2 month to date from January 1st,
1920, and council so voted.
A new note for $3,000 was author-
ized to pay current expenses, and
after the approval of bills aggregat-
ing $2021.00 council adjourned.
The boys in the High school
have undertaken to build a cement

"TRANSFER OF PRISONERS
i
i
| From Eastern Penitentiary to Rock-
view May Start Soon.
Governor Sproul is seeking some
| means of legally transferring prison-
| ers from the eastern penitentiary to
. the new penitentiary at Rockview, ac-
cording to a dispatch from Harris-
burg, and if such a way can be work-
ed out such transfer may begin in the
near future.
Away back in 1826 the Legislature
of Pennsylvania passed a law provid-
ing for two penitentiaries in the State,
an eastern and a western one, and de-
fined the boundary line by counties
between the two districts. That law
has never been repealed. In 1911 the
Legislature passed the law relative to
the transfer of the western peniten-
tiary from Allegheny to Centre coun-
ty, and the present institution at
Rockview is the result. In 1915 the
Legislature passed another law pro-
viding for one centrally located penal
institution, the one at Rockview, and
providing further that when complet-
ed the prisoners from both the east-
ern and western penitentiaries are to
be transferred there.
At the present time the eastern pen-
itentiary is overcrowded and it is just
possible that the Governor, in order to
make the transfer of several hundred
of the inmates to Rockview may de-
clare that institution completed. The
fact that quite a number of the build-
ings erected there are finished will
likely be considered safe legal
grounds for such a proclamation, be-
cause if the transfer of prisoners
were to be held up until the very last
building is completed many of the
| present inmates will not live to see
! the day.
| Warden Francies’ dream of a mod-
| el penal institution is working out in-
| to such stupendous possibilities that
"the limit is not in sight and probably
| will not be during his lifetime. Most
! of the buildings already erected at the
Dr. Charles L. Fry, field secre- | institution have been built mainly by
the labor of the inmates, and every
year additional buildings will be erect-
ed as they are needed. This work as
well as the cultivation of the several
thousand acres of farm land furnishes
the work which keeps the prisoners
busy, and it is all cut in the pure air
and sunshine. :
The G. F. Musser Co. Takes Over the
Danenhower Wholesale Grocery.
The G. F. Musser Co., wholesale
grocers, on April first took over the
G. R. Danenhower & Son, limited,
‘wholesale grocery in Bellefonte and
in the future this large supply house
will be operated as a strictly local
concern. The officers of the new com-
pany are as follows:
.. President, G. F. Musser.
Vice President, R. S. Brouse Jr.
Secretary and Treasurer, E. B.
Bower.
Directors,
Ocker,
Hazel.
The new company is a stock organi-
zation with ample capital, the stock
being held almost entirely by Belle-
fonte and Centre county business men.
They will continue to occupy the
Phoenix mill property as a supply sta-
tion. The Bellefonte branch of the G.
R. Danenhower & Son company was
established some four or five years
ago on a comparatively small scale
and under the management of Mr.
Musser was built up to a business of
many thousands of dollars yearly.
Mr. Danenhower’s desire to retire
from business on account of ill health
furnished the opportunity for the or-
ganization of the new company which
has taken over the plant and which
starts out with such bright prospects
of success.

Many Property Changes in Centre
8 County. .
The spring of the year is naturally
the time of year when most people
buy and sell property. This is so be-
cause of the desire for a change of
homes, and because a certain per cent.
of farmers retire every year and oth-
ers wish to engage in farming and
purchase farms, but this spring there
have been an unusual number of
changes. According to deeds filed in
the recorder’s office in Bellefonte just
313 properties have changed hands in
Centre county since the first of the
year, with a total valuation of $764,-
325.83.
Of the above number 101 are class-
ed as farming tracts, although about
one-fourth of them are for small
tracts of only a few acres. The en-
tire number, however, have a valua-
tion according to the consideration
mentioned in the deeds of $491,442.-
48. The other 212 transfers were for
houses and lots, and business places
in the different towns and villages in
the county. These were valued at
$272,883.35.
