On Sunday morning game war-
den D. S. Mosher brought to Belle-

The Penn State football team
‘was unable to turn the trick at the car-
mnival of roses at Pasadena, Cal., on
New Year's day, going down in de-
feat at the hands of the University of
Southern California eleven by the
score of 14 to 3. The three points
were the result of a field goal from
Mike Palm’s toe, kicked from the for-
ty-five yard line early in the game.
Evidently the past season was not a
State year, and though the supporters
of the team may be dismayed they
are not disheartened, and are already
pledging their faith to the 1923 eleven.

PUMPERS PROVE EFFECTIVE.
Fire Loss Greatly Reduced During
1922. Miscellaneous Business
Transacted by Borough
Council. *
i
| At the regular meeting of borough
council on Monday evening chief fire
. marshall Robert E. Kline submitted
| his report for the year 1922 and, ac-
cording to the figures submitted the
triple pumpers purchased by the bor-
ough council over a year ago have
proved a profitable investment. In
his report Mr. Kline states that dur-
ing the past year there were ten fires
within the borough limits. Seven of
these were extinguished by the use of
the chemical apparatus and three with
water. The total value of the proper-
ty involved was $83,500, while the
actual damage was $5,105, or approx-
imately 6% per cent. While the exact
figures for 1921 are not obtainable
the fire marshall appends an estimate
of the value of the properties involv-
ed by fire during that year of $700,-
000, with damages aggregating $251,-
240, or about 40 per cent. Thus it will
be seen that the damage loss has been
reduced about 33 per cent. The de-
partment responded to eight alarms
for out of town fires, at which the
damage was $51,000, with the total
value of property involved placed at
$95,000, which is a little over 50 per
cent. In explanation of this fact,
however, the fire marshall states that
“in most every case the building on
fire is too far advanced by the time
the company reaches it to save it
from destruction, but the thing to
consider is the property surrounding
the burning building. The depait-
ment has saved thousands of dollars
worth of property in this manner
which is not included in the report,
and which has gained the good will of
the grateful people of the surrounding
communities.” The report further
states that the department now has
on hand 2,400 feet of hose, all of
which is practically new, excepting
850 feet, which is in an excellent con-
dition. The apparatus is in good con-
dition, neither pumper ever being out
of commission for any repairs what-
soever.
A petition was presented by resi-
dents of east High street asking that
the sewer on Pike alley be extended
east to Ridge street. The matter was
referred to the Street committee for
investigation and report at next meet-
ing.
Tax colector Herbert Auman sub-
mitted a list of taxes charged against
him on the duplicate which he con-
tends are errors in making out the du-
plicate, and requested that he be ex-
onerated from the burden of carry-
ing them as uncollected taxes. The
matter was referred to the Finance
committee for investigation and rec-
ommendation.
The borough manager submitted his
report for the past year which showed
total collections of $5931.76. He
stated that the efficiency of the new
pump installed at the Phoenix pump-
ing station, according to figures gath-
ered since it has been in service, will
mean a saving to the department of
approximately $142.00 a month.
The Logan fire company submitted
the names of five members for approv-
al by council as drivers of their pum-
per for the current year.
The bond of E. J. Gehret, borough
treasurer, in the sum of $16,000, and
that of J. D. Seibert, borough man-
ager, in the sum of $500, were ap-
proved. ?
Thomas Hazel called attention to
the fact that during the recent snow
a number of property owners on Lo-
gan street and a few in other portions
of the town failed to clean their pave-
ments. The president instructed the
Street committee and borough man-
ager to see that all pavements are
cleaned in the future, as required by
ordinance governing the same; and in
the event of property owners failing
to clean same to have the work done
and collect the cost therefore.
The Water committee reported a to-
tal of $398.72 collected on the 1921
water duplicate since the last meeting
night and recommended that a total
of $856.12 be cancelled on the dupli-
cate. The bulk of this amount is er-
rors and the balance exonerations of
institutions, ete., from which no tax
has ever been collected. The request
was approved and cancellations au-
thorized.
The Fire and Police committee pre-
sented the burgess’ check for $82.28
for fines and licenses colected.
The Sanitary committee reported
progress in the matter of the milk or-
dinance.
The Finance committee presented
the report of the borough treasurer
which showed a balance in the First
National bank of $8252.40, and in the
Bellefonte Trust company $12075.76,
or a total of $20,328.16. Request was
also made for the renewal of notes to-
talling $19,000.
Bills were approved to the amount
of $7,854.43, which, however, included
the $2000 appropriation to the sink-
ing fund, appropriations to the fire
companies and six month’s interest on
the borough debt, alter which council
adjourned.

——We acknowledge, with a sense
of duty not done nearly so well
as we would like to have done it, the
very gracious Christmas expressions
of Rev. Wilson P. Ard for the Luth-
eran church and Mrs. D. I. Willard
for the Science. The “Watchman”
for years, has made it a practice of
giving practically unlimited space to
regular church notices and every other
kind of publicity tending to arouse
helpful interest in christian activities.
Occasionally we have been criticized
for publishing too much matter of this
sort to the exclusion, some times, of
news stories, that might have better
pleased some of our readers. When it
is considered that all a newspaper has
to sell is space and that the actual
charge for subscription does not cov-
er half the cost of its publication it
will be apparent that the “Watch-
man,” as well as every other paper in
the county, possibly gives more lib-
erally to churches, hospitals and other
beneficial organizations than any oth-
er contributors to their maintenance.
Knowing that we do give so much
| more than is generally realized and
| feeling that the public doesn’t fully
| appreciate this helpful contribution on
i the part of its home newspapers, the
| messages of Rev Ard and Mrs. Wil-
| lard are especially gratifying because

least, who do appraise the value of
such service and take the opportunity
to acknowledge it.

James W. Herron Selected as New
Superintendent of Huntingdon
Reformatory.
| The announcement on Monday that
James W. Herron, assistant superin-
tendent of construction at the new
' western penitentiary at Rockview,
had been tendered and accepted the
position of superintendent of Hunt-
ingdon reformatory, as successor to
the late T. B. Patton, deceased, caus-
, ed mingled feelings of regret and sat-
| isfaction among his many friends in
i Bellefonte and Centre county. Re-
| geet that his acceptance of the posi-
i tion will take him and his family
| away from Bellefonte but satisfaction
that he steps into a position where he
will have a free hand in displaying
i his ability and initiative in an insti-
tution designed for correcting the
{ faults of youth and stabilizing the
character of young men whose foot-
| steps have strayed from the straight
and narrow path.
It is a compliment to Mr. Herron
| that the appointment came to him en-
{ tirely unsolicited. In fact it might be
i stated that he had no definite concep-
tion of the fact that he was being con-
sidered until a committee of the board
of managers visited the Rockview
penitentiary recently and tendered
him the position. Even then he was
so surprised that it was some minutes
before he could grasp the significance
of the offer and he was compelled to
beg a few day’s time to consider and’
arrive at a decision. In the mean-
time he went to Huntingdon and look-
ed over the institution as well as con-
ferred with the board of managers and
on Monday he announced his accept-
ance.
Mr. Herron is a native of Allegheny
county and prior to coming to Belle-
fonte on June 1st, 1912, was chief en-
gineer in the Department of Public
Works, in Pittsburgh. At the solici-
tation of warden John Francies he
‘came to Bellefonte as chief engineer
of construction of the new western
penitentiary at Rockview, and he and
the warden were the first two men on
the job. Several years later he was
: appointed assistant superintendent of
{ construction and in the intervening
| years has collaborated with John T.
Windrim, of Philadelphia, the official
architect in the designing and con-
struction of every one of the group of
buildings which at present constitute
| the Rockview institution. Every man
who has ever visited the new western
! penitentiary has been impressed with
the location and stability of the build-
ings. They embody character as well
as durability and are located with an
eye to convenience and absolute sani-
tation. To Mr. Herron and his tech-
nichal skill as a civil engineer is due
most of the credit for the substantial
constructive work of the new peniten-
tiary up to this time.
It goes without saying that Belle-
fonte will miss Mr. Herron and his
family. While his vital energies were
naturally exerted in his work at the
| penitentiary there is a very human
side to his character which won him
many staunch friends here. He has
always manifested an interest in
Bellefonte and anything that pertain-
ed to the good of the town. He and
Mrs. Herron are members of the
Presbyterian church and for a num-
ber of years past Mr. Herron has been
a member of the board of trustees.
Mr. Herron is planning to close his
work at the penitentiary by the 15th,
if possible, and go to Huntingdon, but
the moving of his family to that place
will be delayed for some time. While
all their friends will regret their de-
parture the regrets will be tempered
with wishes for their future success.
Mr. Crissman Retires from Railroad
Work.
An official bulletin issued from the
offices of the Bellefonte Central Rail-
road company last Saturday announc-
ed the retirement of W. Homer Criss-
man, effective January 1st, 1923, after
thirty years of faithful and accepta-
ble service with the company as audit-
or and assistant treasurer. While the
bulletin gives his term of service as
thirty years he has in reality been
with the same road thirty-six years,
or ever since it was built in 1886.
When the road was built by the
Collins Bros. as a feeder for the Belle-
fonte furnace it was named the Buf-
falo Run railroad, and Mr. Crissman
came here from Snow Shoe and ac-
cepted a position in the offices. Six,
years later when the management
changed and the road was re-christ-
ened the Bellefonte Central Mr. Criss-
man had so proven his ability that he
became a fixture and in due course of
time was made auditor and assistant
treasurer. In the more than a third
of a century that he has been connect-
ed with the management of the road
he has been unusually faithful in his
service and now has reached that age
tle easi.s, which he will be able to do
under the pension system of the rail-
road company. His retirement is also
coincident with the announcement
that James Clark has been promoted
to auditor of the company, effective
January first. While both changes
were effective on Monday Mr. Criss-
man will assist the new auditor in
compiling his annual reports before
retiring for good, and will then de-
vote at least a portion of his time to
his cigar store in the Bush house
block.

on Sunday night and melting snow have
restored the usual water supply.
