Six members were present at the regular meeting of borough council on Monday evening. Attorney John M. Keichline was present and protested against the action of Harry Kern, who is erecting a new hog pen on Burrows street within a very short distance of a double house owned by Mr. Keichline. The matter was re- ferred to the Street committee for in- vestigation and report as to Mr. Kern’s legal rights. A communication was received from the supervisor of the Lewisburg branch of the Pennsylvania railroad calling attention to the fact that the wall along Mill street was so close to the railroad tracks that it made it very dangerous for railroad men, one employee being slightly hurt there a short time ago in jumping off of the Jocomotive. The supervisor offered to cooperate with the borough in any way decided upon to lessen the dan- ger. The question was raised by sev- eral members of council as to the lia- bility of the borough, as the street and wall were both there long before the railroad was built. The matter, however, was referred to the Street committee for investigation and re- port. A communication was received from the State Department of Forestry in which an offer was made to cooper- ate with the borough in any way de- | sired to bring about a systematic planting and care of shade trees with- | in the borough limits, and also to fur- nish free of cost, the best kind of trees for planting. The matter was referred to the Street committee and the shade tree commission. Mr. Harris, of the Street committee, presented the report of the borough manager and also a supplementary agreement executed between the bor- ough and contractor Frank Murphy relative to various changes on Pine street which will be more satisfac- tory to the property owners along that thoroughfare, and which will result in a saving to the borough of approxi- mately thirteen hundred dollars. The agreement was approved by council. The Finance committee presented the report of the borough treasurer which showed a balance due that offi- cial on August 2nd, of $550.30. Au- thority was also asked for the renew- al of a note for $2000 for six months and that a note of the Bellefonte Trust Company for $3000 be increas- ed to $7000 for a period of four months to meet current bills, both of which were authorized. Regarding the granite watering trough that Thomas Beaver has of- fered to present the borough, after discussing the matter pretty thorough- ly, Mr. Knisely made a motion that the trough be accepted and placed on the curb in front of the Curtin monu- ment and council so voted, the ques- tion of properly placing it being left to the Street and Water committees and the borough manager. Mr. Cunningham again brought up the question of the vast amount of water being used by the Titan Metal company, and stated that careful meas- urements had been made over a per- iod of several months and they show- ed that in the operation of their ex- trusion press the company used just fifty gallons of water per minute or three thousand per hour. This, he considered too much water to furnish | for nothing, and he presented a reso- lution that for the year beginning August 1st, 1920, and ending July 31st, 1921, the Tital Metal company be charged five cents a thousand gal- lons for the first million gallons used in any one quarter and three cents a thousand for any addi- tional ameunt used within said quar- ter. The resolution passed without a dissenting vote. Bills to the amount of $3436.25 were approved and council adjourned. ——OQOver in Philipsburg there was a slight frost on both Monday and Tuesday mornings. While no frost was noticed in Bellefonte the temper- ature was down very close to the frost line, and all in all, it' must be admit- ted that this hasbeen a remarkably cool summer throughout. If one ex- treme follows another we ought to have a very mild winter. MINGLE.— Mrs. Elizabeth M. Mingle, widow of the late W. B. Mingle, of Centre Hall, passed away at two o’clock on Monday morning following an illness of only a few days. In fact last week she enter- tained her brother, P. G.

Our neighboring town of Tyrone had a very disastrous fire on Monday morning, which burned the Templeton department store on Pennsylvania avenue, the McCrory five and ten cent store, Miss Mabel Taylor’s millinery store, and Agnew’s photograph studio. On Logan avenue the business places which suffered loss were W. A. Rus- sell’s barber shop, Benjamin H. Jones; grocery; Fred M. Seeger, restaurant, ‘and the Templeton butcher shop. In the Templeton building were five apartments, all occupied, in which the loss was almost complete. The La- Mar apartment building adjoining the Templeton building, was not injured by fire but considerably damaged by the water poured onto it to keep down the flames. Eight families occupied the apartments and they all suffered damage from the water. The fire originated in the rear ware- room of the Templeton store about 3 “o'clock in the morning, but the origin is a mystery. The loss is estimated at a quarter million dollars, not half covered by insurance. The Temple- tons were the heaviest losers. The estimate of their loss is placed at two { hundred thousand dollars with eighty- two thousand insurance. Evan Blanchard, young son of Mr. and Mrs. John Blanchard, fainted and fell on the street near the arm- ory on Tuesday afternoon, was picked rup by Mr. Bicketts, the ice man and | carried home. He was unconscious a church, a member of the BeMefonte | half hour or more and naturally his | parents were considerably alarmed as ito what had happened. He finally re- gained consciousness but could not l account for his illness aside from the fact that he had fainted away. As he is now getting along all right his sud- "den attack was likely either the result of the hot sun or indigestion. to go to: avenue, ! Mr. Raymond is one of the efficient NEWS PURELY PERSONAL.
