Hughes and Charles 8S. Hughes appeared before council, ai! the regular meeting on Monday even- ing, in regard to the laying of the sew- er from the Lewis Hill property on Bishop street out to the borough line beyond Wilson street as a connection for the sewer laid from the swim- ! ming pool on Hughes field for the pur- i pose of draining the pool when nec- essary. In presenting his case to council Mr James Hughes maintained that it was his understanding of the matter that at the time the subject was presented to council he had made the request that council bear the ex- pense of laying the sewer to the bor- ough line, offering in support of his request the fact that it would only be a question of time until the necessity of such a sewer would arise, and in addition granting to council the free use of the swimming pool as a sup- ply of water in that end of town in case of fire. He further stated that as he understood at the time the matter had been referred to the Street committee with power and that Hard P. Harris, at that time, chairman of the committee, had coincided in the verbal agreement that the borough would bear the expense of laying the sewer to the borough line. The cost thereof was approximately five hun- dred dollars and Mr. Hughes, who has already paid the bills, agreed to al- i low the claim to go as an offset to the borough’s bill of four hundred dol- lars against him for the Spring street paving along the Academy property. Mr. Harris was present and substan- tiated Mr. Hughes’ assertion that it was his agreement at the time that the borough should bear the expense of the sewer to the borpugh line, not- withstanding the fact Hat there is no record of any such agreement upon the minutes of council. Mr. Hughes then stated that considering the fact that there is nothing on the minutes he would be satisfied to rest his case with the present council and leave it to them to decide if he was asking anything unreasonable. The matter was finally referred to the Street com- mittee for consultation with members of the old Street committee and ve- port at the next meeting of council. Mr. Hughes further stated that he has found that the well drilled on Hughes field does not furnish a suffi- cient supply of water to keep his council to extend the borough water main on Bishop street to the borough line and grant him permission to make a connection with the pool in order to assure him ample water fa- | cilities. Mr. Cunningham asked him { that, if the borough should decide to- ! accede to his request, would he be ; willing to pay for the water he used at regular meter rates granted to manufacturing concerns, etc.? Mr. { Hughes stated that in using such a i large quantity of water he naturally swimming pool fresh and he asked" i i i day evening, February 18th. George | supposed there would be a reduction ' A.

A notice was received from the sec- retary of the State Association of Penn-Harris hotel, Harrisburg, Feb- ruary 20th and 21st, and inasmuch as some very important borough legisia- tion is to be presented at the pres- ent session of the Legislature it is im- portant that every borough in the State be represented. President Walker referred the question of the selection of delegates to the Special committee. J. B. Rossman presented a certifi- cate from the Public Service Com- mission authorizing him to put down a gasoline tank and pump on Bishop street, subject to the rules and regu- lations of the borough, and the mat- ter was referred to the Street com- mittee. A communication was received from John Curtin notifying council that at the last regular meeting of the Board of Health John G. Love had been electeu secretary and the salary of the health officer increased from $5.00 to $10.00 per month. The Street committee reported the collection of $30.40 by the borough manager. The Water committee reported the collection of $34.00 on the 1921 water duplicate. The committee also report- ed that there are now 144 meter eon- sumers in Bellefonte with ten or twelve more to add to the list, and that the meter bills for the past six months aggregated $2240. At this stage of the proceedings council indulged in rather an interest- ing discussion on the question of keeping the transient paupers in the county jail at the borough’s expense, some of the members contending that the borough home is the proper place for them. The matter was finally re- ferred to the Fire and Police com- mittee and borough solicitor to deter- mine whether the borough or the poor department is liable. The Special committee reported that the borough solicitor will bring ac- tion at the next term of court to force the sale of the Morrison property on the corner of Lamb and Penn streets, which has deteriorated to such an ex- tent as to be a nuisance and against which the borough has a claim for un- paid taxes. The Finance committee reported a balance of $18,539.00 in the hands of the borough treasurer and also re- quested the renewal of notes for $1,000 and $2,000, which was author- ized. The committee further recom- mended that the tax millage for 1923 be fixed as follows: Borough, 5 mills, street, 10 mills, and interest, 5 mills. This is a reduction of five mills in the borough tax which was increased two years ago to raise money for the pur- pose of purchasing the triple pump- ers for the fire department. As the poor department will likely knock a mill off of their tax this year Belle- fonte’s millage, school and county tax- es included, for 1923 will be 49 in- stead of 55. Bills to the amount of $4,815.84 were approved for payment, after which council adjourned. Clinton County Man Cleared Murder. After being locked up in the jury room one hundred and fourteen hours the jury in the case of Tony Capello, charged with the murder of fifteen- year-old Elizabeth Harley while on a joy ride from Lock Haven to Wil- liamsport several months ago, return- ed a verdict of not guilty at 10:44 o’clock on Saturday morning. On the first ballot taken after the jury retired on Monday of last week it stood eight for acquittal and four for murder in the second degree. The second ballot was nine to three and so the jury stood until Saturday morning. of Hotel Managers Inaugurate Move for Horseshoe Trail. At a meeting of hotel managers held in Altoona last Thursday nigit a movement was inaugurated for the establishment of a highway route from Williamsport to Cumberland, Md., to be known as the Horseshoe Trail. An intensive campaign will be be- gun within the near future to engen- der enthusiasm in all communities touched by the trail as it will mean the traversing of this territory by thousands of automobiles every sea- son, with the consequent increase in general business at all points. One of the greatest arguments to be used in securing state and nation- al aid in the improvement of the en- tire route until it ranks as one of the finest stretches of road in the nation will be the fact that it is the most di- rect as well as the most beautiful road from Canada, New York and the northeastern States and the entire southland, opening into Baltimore, Washington, Richmond and the high- ways to Florida. By the route decided upon, the Horseshoe Trail will intersect with the Lincoln highway, the National high- way and the William Penn highway, which are the most noted touring and commercial roads between the east and the west. In addition to this, it will connect at Williamsport with the Academy Basket Ball Victories. The Bellefonte Academy five has surely been keeping up to the pace set by the former quintets of the school on the hill. They have won six out of seven games thus far, only losing by the close margin of nine points to the i University of Penn freshmen, at Phil- ‘ adelphia. | Its recent victories were won as follows: Academy vs. Ebensburg | High school, 38-28; Academy vs. ! Bucknell Freshmen, 31-23; Academy vs. the All American College girls team 34-19. The local boys are away this week, playing the Pitt Freshmen, the Uni- versity of West Virginia Freshmen, the Fairmont Normal team, of Fair- mont, West Virginia, and one other team. i Election of Officers for the Red Cross. The annual election of officers of the Red Cross Chapter of Bellefonte will be held next Monday afternoon from three to four o’clock in the Red Cross room. A nominating committee, Mr. John Blanchard, Miss Anna Hoy and Mr. Harry Keller selected the follow- ing nominees: Rev. M. DeP, Maynard, chairman; | Rev. Wilson P. Charles M. McCurdy, treasurer; Mrs. ‘ Max Gamble, secretary. Members of , the. executive board: Mrs. Wilson P, ' Ard, Miss Mary Blanchard, Mrs. R.

Orbison, the noted neurologist of Los Angeles. In a letter to this office, under date of January 30th, Charles Potter Miller writes that he read of Dr. Orbison’s marriage in the “Watchman” two weeks before the notice appeared in the leading daily of the city where Dr. Orbison makes his home and is a leader in his profession. Another interesting note in the let- ter is to the effect that Charles saw the Penn State—Southern California football game, during the carnival of roses, in that city on New Year’s day, and that the crowd was so great that it was two hours after the game was over that some of those who had mo- tored to the field were able to get their cars unparked. Also, he states, that there are about thirty Penn State alumni in Los Angeles, the oldest be- ing a member of the class of ’65. Boy Scout News. The cafeteria supper held on Janu- ary 23rd was a great success. The proceeds are to be deveted to the eamp fund. The Treop wishes to express their appreciation to all who made the supper so successful. Through the generosity of Jas. H. Potter the Scouts conducted a hike and over night eamp at the Potter-Hoy cabin, at Curtin, on Friday, arriving home Saturday afternoon. Thursday of this week, February 8th, the Boy Scouts of America ecele- brated their thirteenth anniversary. Scouting was introduced into this country from England, February 8th, 1910. The Boy Seout organization is incorporated by an act of Congress, its leadership being furnished by men who are anxious that the boys of America shall come under an influ- ence that forms good character and teaches good citizenship. Eight boys of Troop No. 3, of the Catholic church, who are without a Scout master of their own, are now at- tending our meetings. The Scouts have a basket ball team and issue a challenge to any other young boys’ team. ANDREW WETZEL, Asst.
