' BELLEFONTE TRUST CO. TO BE
ENLARGED.
$75,000 to be Spent in Remodeling and
Refurnishing Banking Institution.
Just about a year ago the board of
directors of the Bellefonte Trust Co.
voted to expend $75,000 on remodel-
ing their banking house and equip-
ment into an up-to-date institution
and the proposition was put in the
hands of New York architects to pre-
pare plans for same. In due time the
plans were prepared and submitted
but the estimates exceeded the amount
of money the directors had voted to
expend on the improvements. The
matter was allowed to lie dormant a
few months and then the firm of Den-
nison & Hirons, bank architects, of
New York, was commissioned to draw
up plans. They did so, kept them
within the limit of the amount of mon-
ey to be expended, the plans were ac-
cepted and the contract for the
remodeling of the building has been
awarded to the Shamokin Lumber
& Construction company, the same
| company that built the Bellefonte
(silk mill. Most of the contracts
for the interior finishing, furnish-
ing and equipment have also been
awardad and according to present
work will be begun about April
The Trust company has leased
rooras in the Harter building across
‘from the court house, which they will
‘occupy as temporary banking quar-
ters while the work of remodeling the
present structure is under way.
The plans for remodeling the build-
ing provide for taking in the room
i now occupied by The Index stationery
| store, both first and second floor. The
| main entrance to the bank will be on
i Allegheny street, just about where
| the north window in the stationery
! store is now located. The present en-
i trance will be changed into a window.
by
! The main entrance leads into a hall,
to the right of which is a laides’ wait-
ing room, with tcilet and lavatory,
and to the left the president’s room.
{ North of the president’s room and on
the Allegheny street front will be the
office of the secretary and treasurer,
which will be divided from the main
: lobby in the rear by a marble counter
{and bronze grill, while right on the
t corner, where the present entrance
; now 1s, will be a private office, or con-
sulting room for the secretary and
treasurer. The lobby, instead of be-
ing on the street will be almost in the
center of the room, and will be big and
i roomy, in fact 540 square feet in size.
The floor of the lobby will be of mar-
ble with marble wainscoting, eic.
The work room of the bank will be
on the High street side and will be
equipped «with marble counters and
bronze grills, with plate glass between
the windows.” There will be six tel-
ler’s windows in the main lobby and
in the rear of the lobby will be a small
room, with a table and chairs for la-
dies, a teller’s window and a lady tel-
ier. East of the main room, or where
‘the director’s room is now located,
“will be the machine room, where all
the machine tabulating and book-
| keeping will be done. The vault will
be in the rear, taking in a portion of
the present director’s room and part
i of the rear of the Index store. It will
"in fact be a double vault, one side of
which will be used entirely for the
; books of the bank. The other side will
be the main vault and will contain ap-
proximately one thousand safety de-
' posit boxes, and the trust department.
Irom the main lobby an open passage
s right back to the vault and per-
sons having safety deposit boxes can
go in and get them, take their boxes
i to either one of two small rooms to
i
! the right of the rear lobby and clip
| their coupons then return their box to
i its proper place. A heavy grill door
! separates the deposit box section of
the vault from the rear part where the
bank’s money will be kept and this
door closes by gravity and can only be
opened by an employee of the bank.
"The vault itself will be of reinforced
concrete with an inch thick steel vault
inside and an eight ton, burglar proof
door in front. The vault will be eight
feet wide, twelve feet deep and eight
feet high. It will also extend into
the basement, where the bank records
will be kept. To the right, in the rear
of the second lobby will be a room,
that will be specially designed for the
public, such as school boards, insur-
ance companies, and such like to hold
meetings in.
Of course in the remodeling the
ceiling will be taken out of the room
now occupied by the Index so that the
ceiling in the entire banking room will
be 22% feet in height. The present
floor will be lowered one foot, so that
there will be only one foot up into the
hallway at the main entrance. In the
rear, or over what is now the direc-
tor’s room and the rear part of the In-
dex the ceiling will not be removed,
as on the second floor of this space
will be a mezzanine room for the di-
rectors, with glass panels or windows
overlooking the banking room, a toilet
and a small bed room for the night
watchman. The present hallway in
the building will remain as it is, and
a door cut through into the main lob-
by for use after the main entrance is
closed for the day. The side door on
High street will also be converted in-
to a window and the window on the
Allegheny street side lowered about
two feet.
Of course all these changes will nat-
urally mean that one of the present
tenants in the building will have to
move, and at a meeting of the direc-
tors on Monday it was decided to give
notice to George Carpeneto to va-
cate and allow Mr. Hunter the privi-
lege of occupying the room now used
as a pool room. From the above it
will be seen that the plans for remod-
eling the building are quite elaborate
but the Trust company officials hope
that the work will all be done this
summer so that they can get back into
the building by the first of October.
——On February 24th the Hunting-
don county Conservation Association
was organized and adopted the consti-
tution of the Centre county Conserva-
tion Association. Huntingdon county
has been divided into fourteen Con-
servation districts which are rapidly
being organized. At one of their con-
servation meetings over six hundred
people were present. The Association
has decided to form a game preserve
and to stock it with game and game
birds.
——The double brick dwelling house
on Spring street, formerly the prop-
erty of the Harris estate, has been
sold, Dr. S. M. Nissley buying the side
now occupied by Mrs. J. A. Woodcock
and Dr. W. U. Irwin purchasing the
side now occupied by Dr. Nissley.
Mrs. Woodcock is now with her son
Lee in Scranton but expects to re-
turn to Bellefonte in time to vacate
the house by the first of Jum...
cording to her plans now she will sell
her surplus furniture, simply retain-
ing sufficient to furnish a flat
Scranton where she expects to lecate
so as to be near her son.
——A flower belonging to the lily:
family and commonly known as a
snake lily, which is in the possession |
of Mrs. Patsy Stewart, has been cre-
ating much interest among Mrs. Stew-
art’s friends for the past few weeks.
Coming from a bulb the dark green
stalk, thickly dotted with white, grew |
at the rate of three and a half inches
of i
a day until it attained a height
about four feet, then put forth a dark
wine colored bloom of enormous size,
somewhat in the form of a calla, the
pistle being a foot and a half long,
heavy and dark. At times the flower
xudes a most disagreeable odor,
and as the bloom fades the ornamen-
tal foliage appears. This Amorpho-
phallus Rivieri is most curious and no
doubt a native of the tropics.
Lodged in the race leading to
the G. M. Gamble mill or floating
down the creek somewhere are thirty
dollars in bills, formerly the property
of the young man who acts as inter-
preter at the western penitentiary.
The man in question was in Bellefonte
on Saturday night and walked down
Race street and attempted to step in
behind C. C. Keichline’s store build-
ing, evidently under the impression
that there was a guard rail there. But
there was no guard rail and he step-
ped right off of the wall into the race.
Naturally the sudden plunge into the
cold water gave him the fright of his
iife and he left out a few yells that
quickly brought help and he was pulled
out of his impromptu bath by several
young men who happened to be in that
neighborhood. Once on solid ground
again he took stock of himself and
discovered that he had lost thirty dol-
lars.
———A hundred critics in a hundred
cities have pronounced the Bowman
Bro’s minstrels, which will appear at
the opera house Tuesday evening,
March 15th, the laugh show of many
seasons, and to give new meaning to
the joy of living. No funnier come-
dians have been seen upon the Amer-
ican stage in the delineation of south-
ern negro comedy than these stars,
not even McIntyre and Heath. And in
the organization presented here will
be seen ten of the funniest end men,
twenty singers, including one of the
finest singing choruses ever heard,
ten of the greatest dancers, all Metro-
politan favorites of the minstrel stage,
also new and original acts of minstrel
vaudeville, each act a feature. Then
there is a gorgeous first part, the mu-
sic being adapted to same. It is one
of those delightful shows with the
heartiest kind of laughter through-
out, tinkling with melodies and songs
that gives one an evening of real en-
jovment,
At the last meeting of the
Woman’s club, it was voted to give
twenty-five dollars to the Home Eco-
nomics department of the High school
in recognition of numerous courtesies
extended to the club by that depart-
ment. The money was used to pur-
chase various necessary articles found
at the Potter-Hoy store and, when Mr.
Potter learned whence the money
came and for what purpose it was be-
ing used, he added ten dollars to the
donation making it thirty-five. With
this, the following articles were added
to the outfitting of a complete dining-
room: Coffee percolator, water pitch-
er, vinegar and oil cruets, salt and
| pepper shaker, bread tray, casserole,
carving knife and fork, cold meat fork
and soup ladle. Soup spoons and sal-
ad forks are needed and if any gener-
ous-minded person cares to contrib-
ute these, it would add much to the
convenience in properly serving a din-
ner. This department means a small
house keeping outfit and every house-
keeper knows many, many articles are
needed to successfully and conven-
iently prepare and serve a meal. Bear
this in mind, and give Miss Wagner
and her pupils a surprise shower
some day.

cialist of Rubin and Rubin, Harris-

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
Considerable Miscellaneous Business
Transacted by Berough Fathers.
Seven members were present at the
regular meeting of borough council on
Monday evening. Burgess W. Harri-
son Walker appeared before council
and made a report of the deliberations
of the Association of Boroughs held
in Harrisburg recently, stating that
the special law committee had gone
over all the bills introduced in the
present session of the Legislature af-
fecting the rights and equities of bor-
oughs, had approved what in their
judgment would be wise legislation
and had disapproved all bills which
were deemed as merely salary raisers
or pernicious in other ways. He also
stated that he had been appointed a
member of the law committee to pass
upon any future bills that may be in-
troduced and if council would sanction
his appointment so far as defraying his
expenses (if the same are not paid by
the association) he would be glad to
serve. Council approved the appoint-
ment and authorized him to attend the
{| meetings of the committee.
Robert F. Hunter, representing the
Bellefonte Business Men's association,
appeared before council and stated
that at the last meeting of the asso-
ciation that organization went on re:-
‘ord as endorsing the opening of north
Water street from Rhoads’ corner
down to the present McCalmont & Co.
office building. The matter was ve-
ferred to the Street committe.
Mr. Hunter further stated that the
csociation had carefully considered
the housing situation in Bellefonte,
which is very much short of the pres-
ent demand, and went on record as fa-
voring the exemntion of taxes for a
period of three years on any and z2ll
persons who would begin the ecreec-
tion of new homes during the year
1921, and he had been commissioned
to ask the co-operation of council.
The matter was referred to the Fi-
nance committee and borough solicit-
or.
Nelson E. Robb, secretary and
treasurer of the Bellefonte Trust
company, stated to council that the
Trust company expected to begin the
remodeling of their building on or
about April first, and as the work pro-
| gressed it would mean the blocking of
| traffic at that corner to a certain ex-
tent, and he asked permission of coun-
cil to exercise that right. Permission
{ was granted according to the law reg-
ulating the rights of builders and con-
' tractors, and the matter was referred
‘to the Street committee.
| Mr. Harris, of the Street commit-
| tee, reported that in conjunction with
i the horough solicitor the committee
! was working on the problem of estab-
i lishing the line of south Potter street,
and they are making progress. He
also stated that while in Harrisburg
| recently he took up the matter of the
repair of the state road on Allegheny,
{ Linn and Bishop streets, with the
i State Highway Department and he
‘has had assurance that the Depart-
| ment will bear half the expense of re-
i pairs, the borough to bear the other
half.
| The Water committee reported the
| 1920 duplicate and meter bills as ag-
1
i
|
gregating 312,300, and that new me-
ters had been installed at the Garman
"opera house, Beatty’s garage and the
i silk mill.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported the burgess’ checks for $45.00
| for licenses collected. The committee
also recommended the purchase of 600
feet of new hose, 300 feet for each
company, and the recommendation
was approved by council.
The Finance committee presented
the report of the borough treasurer
showing a balance on hand on March
first of $416.43. The committee also
requested the renewal of notes for
$3,000, $2,000 and $1,000; that a note
of $700 be increased to $1,000; that
one of $12,000 be increased to $18,000,
and that a new note for $2,000 be au-
thorized to meet current expenses, all
of which were authorized. The com-
mittee further reported that they had
not approved any of the exonerations
requested by the tax collector for the
reason that on each list presented
there are taxes that should have
been collected.
The Finance committee presented
the auditor’s statement for the year
1920 and recommended that a copy of
the same be filed and the report print-
ed for distribution, which was crder-
ed done.
Borough manager J. D. Seibert
stated to council that some months
ago Judge Orvis made complaint
about the stopping up of the sanitary
sewer at his home on east Linn street
and he had examined the same and
found that the sewer on the street was
all right but that the stoppage was in
the connection from the house to the
street, where the pipe was probably
ten inches to a foot lower than the
sewer on the street. He relaid the
pipe at the proper grade and now Mr.
Orvis refuses to pay for the work
done. The matter was referred to
the Street committee and borough so-
liitor to ascertain if Mr. Orvis is le-
gally liable to pay the bill, and if so,
to collect same.
Bills to the amount of $7,002.52
were approved for payment, after
which council adjourned.

minating company, of this place; a posi-
tion he filled most satisfactorily until a
broader field opened in Altoona where he

—Frank Wetzler, of Milesburg, was in

sylvania Railroad company which is now
in such full swing that thousands and
thousands of men are being laid off. In

ket lid and upon opening it to ascertain

idence here that had proven them very de-
sirable members of the community. Mr.
Kitson had been identified with the electric
‘installation of the Bellefonte Furnace Co's.
properties and afterwards superintendent
of the local electric lighting plant. His
health failed, however, and he was advised
to go to England, which he did only to
find himself growing worse. He returned
to the States, got another doctor and was
here last Saturday so chirked up as to be-
lie ever having had anything serious the
matter with him. Many changes have been
wrought in those twenty years. The lads
who moved away from here were not all
here yet. There are three of them now.
Percy, Arthur and Ernest. All men and
all veterans of the war, in fact one of
them was in every engagement our armies
fought on the other side. He was over
thirteen months and fought first with the
French. Mr. Kitson is with the Hollister,
White & Co., investment bankers of Phila-
delphia, and in his capacity as a traveling
representative we see possible opportuni-
ty of seeing more of him.
—Jacob Deitrich, for years a well known
farmer of Miles township, was a business
visitor in Bellefonte on Monday, it being
cne of his rare trips to Bellefonte, as he
acknowledged that he doesn’t get over the
mountain very often. Of course, he has a
nice home in Brush valley and as that is
one of the garden spots in Centre county
he can’t be blamed for sticking pretty
close to it.
