Only six members were present at the regular meeting of borough coun- cil on Monday evening. Messrs. Wal- ter C. Cohen and W. Frank Crawford, representing the Associated Business Men of Bellefonte, were present and requested council to take some action which would afford the merchants of the town protection against the itin- erant hawkers of merchandise who periodically visit Bellefonte and sell their wares without giving any re- turns to the borough. They maintain- ed that the merchants of the town, who pay taxes and always contribute to every public spirited movement, are entitled to protection; especially when they have for sale just as good, if not better, merchandise than the itiner- ant hawker, and at just as reasonable a figure. The committee was inform- ed that there is an ordinance covering the matter which prevides a license fee of not less than $25.00 nor more than $100.00 for any person coming into the borough to sell anything in competition to the regular merchants of the town, which, if enforced, should afford ample protection. The matter, however, was referred to the Fire and Police committee and borough solicit- or for proper investigation and re- port. The Street committee reported the street force engaged in clearing the streets of snow. The Water committee reported the collection of $25.50 on the 1921 water duplicate. The Fire and Police committee rec- ommended the election of the follow- ing men as official drivers for the pumpers: For the Logans, J. R. Storch, Ellis Hines, G. Max Gamble and Homer P. Barnes. For the Un- dines, George Carpeneto, - Charles Saxion, Ralph Moerschbacher and Basil Doll. The recommendation was accepted and approved by council. The committee also recommended the re- election of Robert E. Kline as chief fire marshall for the ensuing year, giving as the reason the very excel- lent report submitted to council at the last meeting of the work of the de- partment during the year 1922. The committee’s recommendation was ac- cepted and Mr. Kline was re-elected without a dissenting vote. Mr. Cunningham called attention to the fact that according to the fire mar- shall’s report the borough now has an ample supply of fire hose in good con- dition and he introduced a motion, which was passed, requesting the. sec- retary of council to notify the fire marshall to see that the hose is prop- erly dried in the towers, after use, be- fore being stored in the pumpers, as it is the only proper way to preserve them against unnecessary deteriora- tion. The Finance committee requested the renewal of a note for $3,000, which was authorized. President Walker reappointed Dr. David Dale as a member of the board of health for a term of five years. He also appointed A. Miles Barr as au- ditor for the Pruner orphanage fund. Bills to the amount of $1238.94 were approved for payment after which council adjourned. Local High School Loses to Lock Haven. On Friday night tie local High school basket ball team suffered its second defeat of the season at the nds of the Lock Haven High school, n the latter's floor, by the score of 39 to 21. The score does not do jus- tice to the team’s playing, as they held their opponents at half time to 13 to 11, and the middle of the second half saw Lock Haven with only four points in the lead. At this point, how- ever, Coffee, the six feet two Lock Haven centre, started, dropping them through the net after many ineffectu- al previous attempts to score. This handicap height, combined with a Wretched, example of officiating by the referee, proved too strong a combina- ition for. the good passing and fighting spirit of the local team to overcome. The beys are : determined that they will make the return game here the occasion for administering to Lock Haven a sound defeat-and at the same time, show. them how to give a team a square deal: oe This (Friday) night, at 8:15, Mt.

The plane from New York came in on time and landed in the snow but could not get up speed enough through the snow to take off. The result was the Emerick Motor Bus company snow plow was requisitioned and a runway opened the length of the field, so that it was noontime on Mon- day when the plane got away on its western trip. A supposedly weather-wise man living in the north tier counties on Saturday predicted thirty-one more snows this winter, and on Sunday we got one of them about a foot deep. The State Highway Department and the Emerick Motor Bus company put their snowplows in commission and opened the main roads to State Col- iege and Lock Haven so that travel was delayed very little. Fortunately the snowfall was not accompanied with high windstorms and there was no drifting. The members of Mrs. Reiter's Sunday cchool class of the Bellefonte Methodist church now have their name quilt and cushion ready for sale. The articles will be on exhibition in the vestibule of the church on Sunday and on Monday they will be taken to the Bellefonte Hardware company’s store where they will be displayed in the window until Saturday night, Jan- uary 27th.

The treasurer’s reports show- ed all bills paid and a balance in the several treasurer’s hands. This did not include an unpaid balance of $175.- 00 on the new electric lamps, etc., late- ly installed in the church. This bal- ance was subscribed by the members, last Sunday. — In refusing a license to Earl Kline, for the Garman house last week, Judge Quigley will keep Belle- fonte dry so far as public drinking places are concerned. He also refused three in Philipsburg and held under advisement one in Philipsburg and one in Rush township. Only six li- censes were granted, one in Millheim, one retail and one brewer’s license in Philipsburg, two in Snow Shoe town- ship and one in Casanova. When Judge Quigley went on the bench in 1916 there were twenty-eight licensed liquor places in Centre county, four of them in Bellefonte. Of course the war time legislation had a lot to do with wiping out the drinking places and the result is that now there are only six legalized places in the whole county. St. John’s Lutheran Brother- hood will entertain the Presbyterian Brotheihood this (Friday) evening starting with supper at 6:45 in the social room of the church.

Mro<Clémeénts had taken Herman Ha- zel to his home out on Willowbank street and coming back he stopped be- fore he:reachedsthe crossingiiof the Lewisburg railroad, cleaned his: wind- shield of snow; looked and: listened, but: did not see or hear anything. ‘As it was about:9:80 olclock inthe even- ing the naturally : concluded that no ! trains swould be: aléng :at that: time | and he started his car. Just as he got I on the railroad the belated Lewisburg | freight came along and rcaughto the’ | reaw of hisccanothrew it around off the track and literally stripped the right side of the machine.: Clements | was thrown out, but aside from slight * injuries on his head and side escaped. Real Estate Changes. The housing situation in Bellefonte is just as acute today as it was sev- eral years ago and the only sure way of staying in one place any length of time is by owning your own home. Of course every man is not in a position to buy and these unfortunates are compelled for one reason or another to go house hunting year after year. and though it is yet over two months from moving time quite a number of . The only sure way of having a home these days in which one can live un- disturbed is to own it, and among the number who have come to this conclu- sion is Charles C. Keichline, who has purchased the Jared Harper property, on the corner of High and Thomas, where he will move when he leaves the double house on Thomas street which has also been sold by Mr. Har- per. Charles Heisler has purchased the double house on Thomas street from Jared Harper and with his wife will move into the side now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Keichline. Mr. Harper’s single house has been purchased by Charles Larimer, the present occupant. Homer P. Barnes has bought the Mrs. H. A. McKee property on east High street, now occupied by the Al- len Waite and Mr. Cobb families, and with his mother and sister will move there when they vacate the property on Bishop street which has been their home for many years, but which was recently purchased by Harvey Miller. The congregation of the Methodist church has finally closed the deal for the purchase of the G. R. Spigelmyer home, in the rear of the church on Howard street, for $8,750. Inasmuch as they will not get possession until the 15th of next October they have not yet decided whether to use it as a parsonage or a community house. Allen Heverly has bought the Min- gle property on Blanchard street, in the rear of the brick school house, which in the spring will be occupied by his son Richard and family. 1922 Report of Centre County Chil- dren’s Aid Society.
