Tag System to be Adopted to Punish Wilfull Violators of the Au- tomobile Laws. Burges W. Harrison Walker was present at the regular meeting of bor- ough council on Monday evening and reported that he had sworn into office chief fire marshal Robert Kline as well as John J. Bower, chief of the Logan fire company, and Charles An- ‘derson, chief of the Undines. The burgess stated that so far only four or five jitney operators and draymen in Bellefonte had lifted their borough license, according to the ordinance, all the others simply ignoring the matter, and he requested authority to consult with the borough solicitor and take ac- tion compelling the lifting of the li- censes. Council empowered him to go ahead. Burgess Walker also complained of the utter disregard of the traffic or- dinance on the part of some drivers of automobiles, some of the persistent offenders being drivers of delivery cars, and stated that some means would have to be taken to en- force the ordinance. He called atten- tion to the danger to children of fast driving past the school grounds and also cited the fact that automobilists pay no attention to the requirement not to park cars at fireplugs or in front of the fire houses. The burgess suggested making extra policemen of the fire patrol of the Logan and Un- dine companies or else calling into service a plain clothes man. Presi- dent Walker stated that council could not make special policemen of the fire patrol without putting them on the pay roll, and Mr. Cunningham called the burgess’ attention to the fact that at his request two years ago council paid out over a hundred dollars for a plain clothes man and notwithstand- ing the fact that he had a book full of names of traffic law violators not a single individual was called to account and fired. Mr. Cunningham suggest- ed the introduction of the tag system, whereby the police and members of the Fire and Police committee are fur- nished with tags similar to baggage checks used by the railroads and when a car is discovered parked contrary to the provisions of the traffic ordinance put a tag on the steering wheel noti- fying the owner to appear before the burgess. The number of the car is placed on the other end of the tag which is turned in to the burgess. It was finally decided to try out the tag system, so all drivers should take due! notice. Mr. Waite asked if there is any or- dinance permitting boys to ride bicy- eral instancesiwhere it was not only a nuisance but’ ‘dangerous to pedes-| trians. He was informed that there | is an ordinance prohibiting it and | the Fire and Police committee were | instructed to have the police enforce ! the ordinance.

Both the above were referred to the Water committee and borough manager with power. Report was also made that residents of Coleville would like the borough water and will bear all the expense of laying the pipe, etc., and that the people on Halfmoon hill also want the water. These requests were referred ack to the Water committee for further investigation. Mr. Cunningham further reported that the borough manager and him- self had been investigating the water pumping system at the Phoenix mill station and found it very inefficient, which accounts for the heavy demand on the electric pump. He stated that a modern wheel could be installed which would pump 270,000 more gal- lons in twenty hours than the pres- ent pump is doing and he felt certain that such a wheel would pay for it- self in less than a year in the reduc- tion of the bills for the electric pump. The committee was instructed to as- certain the cost of such a wheel and all data in connection therewith and report at next meeting. The Finance committee presented the borough treasurer’s request for the renewal of notes for $3,000, $2,- 000, $1,000, $1,000, $18,000, $7,000, $2,000 and $2,000, a total of $36,000, which was authorized. Borough manager Seibert announe-: ed that the motor on the fire alarm is burned out. The motor can proba- bly be rewound and repaired for ap- proximately $75.00, while a new mo-! tor will cost $125.00. The matter was referred to the Fire and Police com- mittee with instructions to ascertain if a brake can be put on the motor so as to enable the blowing of signals, and report at next meeting. Bills to the amount of $2632.35 were approved and council adjourned. ——Geiss’ bazaar will be held Sat- urday, March 11th, at 10 o’clock.
