| SEWER, PIPE LINE AND CHURCH.
{ Important Propositions Made to Bor-
|
ough Council.
! Only five members were present at
| the regular meeting of borough coun-
i ¢il on Monday evening, the absentees
being Messrs. Bradley, Brouse, Fau-
ble and Waite.
| Charles F. Cook was spokesman for
| a delegation of residents of east High
street who appeared in regard to the
extension of the sewer on Pike alley.
| Mr. Cook presented a petition, or
agreement, signed by nine property
owners, in which they offered to con-
tribute ten dollars each toward the
laying of the sewer and ten dollars
when they tapped same. Mr. Cook
stated that there would be eleven taps,
which at ten dollars a tap would be
$110, and $90 contributed by the prop-
erty owners would make $200, or
about one-half the cost of putting
down the sewer. Council decided that
if all the property owners would en-
ter into an agreement to tap the sew-
er as soon as it is laid and pay the fee
the proposition would be accepted and
the matter was referred to the Street
committee for further negotiation.
Daniel Snyder was present regard-
ing the sewer running from Linn
street up the alley to his property on
east Lamb street. The sewer is of
terra cotta pipe and is constantly be-
ing damaged by the heavy trucks
going up that alley. Because of this
fact Mr. Snyder offered to purchase
five inch iron sewer pipe if council
will put it down. The offer was ac-
cepted and the Street committee em-
powered to do the work.
The members of the board of trus-
tees of the United Evangelical church
were present in regard to purchasing
from the borough that portion of the
Phoenix mill property lying between
Logan’s branch and the public road
leading out to the property of the
Misses Valentine. S. D. Gettig Esq.,
one of the trustees, was spokesman,
and he stated to council that the hope
the congregation at one time enter-
tained of purchasing the Valentine
property in Bellefonte as a site for a
model church building had been dis-
pelled for various reasons. But the
very substantial growth of the United
Evangelical church renders it abso-
lutely necessary to provide more room
and they have already discussed ten-
tative plans for the enlargement of
their present church property. A
Sunday school. room will be built
against the-south'side of the present
edifice, probably this coming summer;
and later the main building will be en-
larged and improved. But before ex-
pending a large sum of money the
congregation feel that they would like
ments of any kind, and to this end
asked council to sell to the church
erty lying between Logan’s branch
and the public road, a strip of ground
with about forty feet frontage. Mr. |
Gettig explained that the church did |
not want the ground for building pur-
poses, but the ground as it has lain in |
the past has been an eyesore to that
community. Every summer it is cov- |
ered with weeds of various kinds and
is a dumping ground for various kinds
of refuse. If the borough will sell the
land to the church it is the intention '
of the congregation to build a retain- |
ing wall along Logan’s branch from !
the street to the breast of the dam, !
then fill up the lot and either sod it
and beautify it with flower beds or!
else convert it into a parking place
for cars. The main object is to keep
anybody else from purchasing the
ground and possibly erecting thereon
a building that would not harmonize
with the church surroundings. To
own the property in question would
also enable them to maintain the road-
way where it is now and not have it
shoved over against their church prop-
erty. Naturally, Mr. Gettig stated,
i they are anxious to purchase the
property as reasonable as possible,
and he hoped council would consider
their proposition favorably from every
angle. Mr. Cunningham asked Mr.
Gettig if, in the event of council sell-
ing them the property, it is their in-
tention to close that roadway, and
Mr. Gettig stated that it was not.
That they all know it is a public high-
way and can not be closed. The mat-
ter was referred to the Street and
Water committees for investigation
and report at next meeting.
The Water committee reported the
collection of $24.00 on the 1921 dupli-
cate. The committee also reported
that up to the present time three taps
have been made on the new Halfmoon
hill water line, within the borough,
and thirteen taps on the extension be-
yond the borough line.
Mr. Cunningham also stated that
residents of Coleville are asking for
an extension of the water service to
{ that village. At present there is only
;a small line running to one section of
| that town and it is not of sufficient
| capacity to supply all who would like
| to have the water. They ask council
to extend a four inch line to the bor-
ough line and they will then extend
it to Coleville, with the probable as-
| sistance of the American Lime &
Stone company. It will require 1180
' feet of four inch pipe to make the ex-
| tension to the borough line and the
‘cost of pipe and laying same will be
| approximately $1,000. Mr. Cunning-
‘ham estimated that the receipts from
'such a line would be about $300 a
' year. The matter was held over for
further consideration.
The Finance committee asked for
the renewal of notes totalling $32,000,
which was authorized. Bills to’ the!
amount of $1043.50 were approved for
payment, after which council adjourn-

——The Bellefonte Academy basket
ball team will close the season with a
game in the armory tomorrow (Sat-
urday) evening with the strong
Bloomsburg Normal quintette. Game
will be called at eight o’clock sharp.
Carl Snavely, the Kiski assistant
coach who has signed a two year’s
contract to coach Academy athletics,
will spend the week-end at the Acad-
emy and take in Saturday evening's

The new Blair County National
bank building, at Tyrone, was opened
to the public last Saturday, and every-
body connected with that institution
naturally thinks they now have just
about the nicest bank building in the
central part of the State. Hon. A. G.
Morris, of Bellefonte, has been presi-
dent of the bank for almost a quarter
of a century, while F. K. Lukenback
is vice president. Harry E. Jenkins is
also on the roll of the bank’s em-
ployees.
——One hundred and fifty fans ac-
companied the High school basket ball
team from Philipsburg to Bellefonte
on a special train, last Friday even-
ing, to witness the game with the
Bellefonte: High ball tossers. The
game was played in the Y. M. C. A.
gymnasium and both teams were
i cheered to the limit, the visitors going
down in defeat before the superior
work of the Bellefonte boys. The
final score was 29 to 21 in favor of
Bellefonte.
——The State Highway Depart-
ment has announced that all oiling of
highways will be done early this year
so that the work can be finished by
the first of July. It has also been de-
creed that only one-half of the road
will be oiled at a time, application on
the other half not to be made until
the first portion oiled has soaked in.
This will be good news to every owner
and driver of a. car, as thereis no
greater bug-bear to the average au-
tomobilst than a freshly oiled road.
——Judging from the cold snap we
had early in the week the ground hog
worked over-time, but he has nothing
on manager T. Clayton Brown, who
works over-time all the time in order
to give the people of Bellefonte the
cream of motion pictures at the Scen-
ic. Scan the week-ahead programs
published in the “Watchman” and you
cannot help but be impressed with the
fact that every night’s offering is one
worth going to see. All the stars in
their most pronounced plays can be
seen at the Scenic.
Telephone Company Sold for $525,000.
All the lines, franchises, equipment,
right, title and interest of the United
Telephone and Telegraph company
was sold at public auction at Sunbury,
last Thursday, by William B. McCaleb,
receiver, to William W. Ryan, an at-
torney of Shamokin, for approximate-
ly $525,000. The lines extend from
Chester county on the east to Blair
county on the west, covering at least
a fourth of the counties in the State.
Mr. Ryan, the purchaser, represent-
ed five-sixths of the bondholders, and
stated after the sale that plans are al-
ready under way to greatly improve
the property. The company had been
in the hands of the receiver for ten
years, but is now out of litigation and
will be rebuilt and operated as a pro-
gressive, independent concern.
A —— A nt sm
Urgent Call for Threshermen.
The Centre County Threshermen
and Farmers’ Protective association
will meet in the grand jury room in
the court house Saturday, March 24th,
at 10 o’clock a. m, This meeting is
called especially to protest to the Leg-
islature now in session against vicious
legislation now pending.
One bill prohibits cleats on traction
engines. Another limits weight of
traction engines and all motor vehi-
cles. These two bills would practic-
ally put traction engines and motor
trucks out of commission.
Two other bills, either of which if
passed, would almost double the cost
of compensation insurance to all em-
ployers of labor, including farmers.
The text of these bills will be read at
this meeting and effect considered, so
that every thresherman, saw mill man
and farmer should attend and unite in
the protest against their enactment.
Dr. E. H. Yocum Retired by Methodist
Conference.
One of the pathetic incidents of the
Central Pennsylvania Methodist Epis-
copal conference, held at Harrisburg
the past week, was the reading of a
letter from that venerable worker in
the Master's vineyard, Dr. E. H. Yo-
cum, of Woolrich, asking to be grant-
ed a retired relation. He has not been
in good health for some time and was
unable to attend conference hence was
compelled to make his request by let-
ter. Dr. Yocum has been in the active
ministry for fifty-three years and is
probably one of the oldest and best
known ministers in the conference. He
loved his work and was so deeply sin-.
cere in his calling that we feel sure he
was loath to quit and only the conser-
vation of his health induced him to
make the request, which was prompt-
ly granted, though not without feel-
ings of regret that his life’s active
work was over. Dr. Yocum will make
his home with his daughter at Nor-
thumberland.
During its sessions conference vot-
ed to contribute $24,000 towards the
support of the home for the aged at
Tyrone.
The conference closed on Monday
evening with the announcement of the
appointments. Very few changes
were made in the appointments in this
section. Rev. E. E. McKelvey was re-
turned to the Bellefonte church. Rev.
R. C. Peters was transferred from
State College to Hollidaysburg, and
A. E. Mackie will go to the College
from Danville. M. S. Q. Mellot was
sent from Howard to Morrisdale, and
A. A. Price goes from the Clearfield
circuit to Howard. Wardner W. Wil-
lard, of Dudley, was assigned to Wool-
rich to take the place of Dr. E. H. Yo-
cum retired.
Work that Counts for the Hospital.
Two more local organizations have
volunteered to carry part of the main-
tenance burden of the Bellefonte hos-
pital and will establish permanent
memorials to themselves by fitting up
and maintaining rooms in the institu-
tion.
The Daughters of the Easter Star,
an organization of women some mem-
ber of whose family has been or is a
master Mason, have taken the How-
ard room. The ladies organization of
Howard found the burden of maintain-
ing it too great for them so that it has
been given to the new organization
and will at once be given new and
complete - furnishing as well as en-
dowed for the future.
The Loyal Order of Moose have re-
quested and been granted the privi-
lege of furnishing and maintaining the
men’s surgical ward. This flourishing
Order in Bellefonte has plans that
fill make it finer than any of the pri-
vate rooms in the institution and their
spirit is wonderfully to be commend-
ed, for it will add so much to the com-
fort of those who cannot afford pri-
vate rooms and yet are just as re-
sponsive to the effects of nice sur-
roundings as are those who can.
At the recent banquet of the Moose
the superintendent of the hospital,
with her assistants and the entire
corps of nurses, were guests of honor
and paraphrasing their own slogan:
“Once a Moose, always a Moose” we
predict that the Moose, once for the
hospital, will always be for the hos-
pital.

John Price Jackson Lands on Top
Again,
John Price Jackson, at one time
dean of the school of engineering at
The Pennsylvania State College, has
again been catapulted into a nice
berth, having been appointed execu-
tive director of the sesqui-centennial
exhibition to be held in Philadelphia in
1926, at a salary of $15,000 a year.
Mr. Jackson left the College in 1913
to become Commissioner of Labor and
Industry, at Harrisburg, a position he
filled until 1919. In 1918 he went to
France on an engineering mission for
the U. S. government during the world
war. It was there he was given the
rank of colonel. After the war he
went to Armenia as a member of the
American military commission. Re-
turning to the Unittd States he was
located in Pittsburgh for a short time
then went to Washington where he
acted for public utilities of the coun-
try in connection with the fuel supply.

turned the tide in favor of their home
boys. Personally we've never found much
interest in basket ball, but when two old
chaps like these will follow a quintet of
youngsters nearly sixty miles we must ad-
mit that they have gotten something out
of life that we have missed.

Freeman Baird Burnd Out.
The humble little home that Free-
man Baird, of Pleasant Gap, had been
: working so industriously to make out
of an old stable, went up in flames
tragedy. It wasn’t so valuable, but it
was his home and represented all he
had in the world.
The fire caught from an overheated
stove pipe while Mrs. Baird was pre-
paring to do the family baking and
had gained such headway before she
discovered it that she became panic
stricken and ran out onto a back porch
where she fainted. Had not a neigh-
bor discovered the incident just when
she did one of the six Baird children
would have burned up. It was in bed
in the loft where the fire started and
was rescued only after a fight through
the flames to reach it.
Only a few chairs and an oil stove
were saved of the personal and house-
hold effects of this poor family of
eight and they hadn’t a cent of in-
surance.
Trust the folks of a community like
Pleasant Gap to come to the rescue
when there is distress somewhere.
Almost before the smouldering ruins
of the little home were cold Freeman’s
fellow workers in the Whiterock quar-
ries went down into their overalls and
chipped in and chipped in until nearly
$200 were raised to help give him a
fresh start. Then the neighbor wom-
en began to hunt up bed clothing,
clothes and odds and ends of furniture
and the old commissary building at
Whiterock was cleaned out and yester-
day the homeless had a home again.
