STREETS TO BE REPAIRED.
Considerable Work Planned at Meet-
ing of Borough Council
Monday Night.
Samuel B. Miller, of east Linn
street, appeared before borough coun*
cil, at the regular meeting on Monday
evening, and made a plea for the grad-
ing of the east end of Curtin street
and the north portion of Wilson street.
In defense of his request he stated
that when the Armors gave the bor-
ough the property for the opening of
the above streets it was with the un-
derstanding and implied agreement
that the streets were to be graded and
water service installed as an induce-
ment to prospective purchasers. He
further averred that builders and
home seekers hesitate to purchase lots
there because so far the borough has
not made any improvements. Presi-
dent Walker stated that as soon as
lots were sold in that locality and
building operations begun council
would put the streets in shape. Mr.
Fauble, however, expressed the belief
that it would be a good move on the
part of council to grade the streets
and thus encourage the sale of lots,
and he made a motion that the bor-
ough manager and the borough engi-
neer go on the ground and establish
a grade, then solicit bids for the grad-
ing of the streets. Mr. Walker, how-
ever, thought any work that was done
should be under the supervision of the
Street committee and the matter was
finally referred to that committee
with instructions to work with the
borough manager and the borough en-
gineer, and if possible, get bids for
the work and report at next meeting
of council. :
Mr. Miller also complained of the
low water pressure at his place.
Though he is always able to get water
in his bath room he has no force when
it comes to using a hose. His third
complaint was in connection with the
debris of the burned barn at the H. N.
Crider property, which he claimed is
very unsightly and a nuisance.
Dr. C. M. Parrish stated to council
that it is his intention to begin work
in the near future on the erection of
his new building on the corner of Al-
legheny street and Pike alley and in
the construction of same he would
like to erect the chimney in the Pike
alley wall, and to make it of suffi-
cient size it will probably extend ten
inches outside of the face of the wall,
and he requested council’s sanction of
that plan. He was assured that coun-
cil would co-operate in every way pos-
sible.
Mrs. Showers asked that a light be
placed in front of her home at No. 16
Legan street. She also made com-
plaint about the borough manager cut-
ting the water pipe at her property
on Ridge street, claiming that he had
no legal right to do it, and the bor-
eugh should replace the pipe. The
request for a light was referred to the
Street committee and the complaint to
the Water committee.
A written complaint was received
from Clay Witmer regarding a col-
lection of litter and rubbish on east
High street, which should be remov-
‘ed at once.
The Street committee reported var-
ious repairs and the collection of $5.00
from the Main circus for the broken
railing where the lion cage went over
the bank at Rhoads’ corner; $5.00 for
manure, $91.92 from the Highway
Department for the use of the road
oller, and $25.00 for a sewer permit.
The Water committee reported the
speakers who will make addresses at collection of $5.00 from Main’s circus

idend of 3 per cent. and an extra div-
idend of 1 per cent. were declared
payable to stockholders of record on

At the Presbyterian day exer-
cises held at Lakemont Park, Altoona,
on June 21st last year, it was decided
that a similar meeting should be held
at the same place this year and the ex-
ecutive committee of the Presbyterian
officer’s association of Blair county,
who have charge of the arrangewents,
wish to announce that Lakemont Park

Wednesday, June 27th, definite an-
nouncement of the program to be
tion of Mr. Cunningham Mr. Anderson
was expelled as an assistant director
and the Undine fire company was re-
quested to recommend a man as his
successor.
The Fire and Police committee pre-
sented the burgess’ check for $74.52
for fires and licenses. The committee
again called attention to the unsafe
condition of the metal plate crossings
over the gutters at each of the fire
houses and a motion was passed em-
powering them to put down reinfore-
ed concrete crossings.
The Finance committee asked for
the renewal of one note for $3,400,
which was authorized.
Mr. Hazel complained of the un-
sightly condition of Logan street, ow-
ing to piles of dirt and stones, and at-
tention was also called to the same
condition in front of one property on
Allegheny street. The secretary was
instructed to notify property owners
that the stones and dirt must be re-
moved within ten days or they would
be taken away by the borough and the
cost plus twenty-five per cent. charg-
ed to the owners.
The borough manager reported that
he has about completed the repairs on
Thomas street ready for oiling. He
further stated that to oil the streets
authorized at the last meeting of
council will require 6950 gallons of oil
but as it would be impossible to get
all the streets in shape by the time
the oiling tank arrives here he had or-
dered only 4660 gallons. No definite
provision has yet been made for the
oiling of Bishop, Allegheny and Linn
streets, although property owners
along those streets want them oiled.
And when Spring street is repaired
made later.
from Bishop to Howard the work
should be extended through to Lamb
street.
The borough manager called atten-
tion to the fact that something should
be done to prohibit people from dump-
ing ashes in the alleys, as every hard
rain washes them down the hills into
the open sewers and clogs the traps.
Three wagon loads were removed
from one trap on Howard street. The
secretary stated that there is an or-
dinance prohibiting the deposit of ash-
es on the streets and alleys and pro-
viding a fine for any violation, and the
borough manager was instructed to
enforce the ordinance.
Mr. Brouse reported the steps lead-
ing from St. Paul street to Halfmoon
hill in a dangerous condition and the |
Street committee was authorized to
have them replaced with concrete
steps.
Bills to the amount of $2575.00
were approved for payment, after
which council adjourned.

bers of the boy’s division of the Y. M.
C. A, will have a supper at the Y,

plans for the camp to be conducted

Who Borrowed My Wig?
Some time ago we loaned a wig,
that has served a good purpose on
occasions when hair has been a desir-
able adornment, to a young man of
Bellefonte. We have forgotten to
whom we loaned it and he has proba-
bly forgotten from whom he got it.
An event looms which will require
us to be wholly dressed and if the
young man in question will please re-
turn the wig we will have the neces-
sary apparel to comply with the re-
quirements.

Boy Scout News.
The minstrels given two weeks ago
were such a success that plans are be-
ing made to give the performance in
other towns. The Bellefonte perform-
ances netted about eighty dollars,
which will go to the camping fund. :
The Bellefonte Troop has received the
national colors awarded by President
Harding to all troops increasing their
membership 25 per cent. The two low
patrols entertained the high patrols
at the last regular meeting, when as-
sistant scout master Reynolds drilled
the Scouts for the first time this year.
ANDREW WETZEL, Assistant Scribe.
Bowlers Had Enjoyable Reunion.
large number of bowlers who
took part in the contests during the
winter on the Y. M. C. A. alleys met
in competition in the Y on Tuesday
evening. The prize winners for the
evening included the high average for
three games, 181, Gelhaus, a three
pound box of candy. The highest
score, 219, was also made by Mr. Gel-
haus. The highest number of succes-
sive strikes, 4, Mr. Abt, a silk neck-
tie. High left handed, 179, Hood, pair
silk socks. The competition for the
booby prize was quite interesting. J.
Bullock made 99, Mallory 96 and Kline
94, the latter winning the massive
“gold” pin.
During the evening chairman Keich-
line presented the American Legion
team with the bowling trophy as
champion for the past season, being
the second year the Legionaires have
been winners. Refreshments were
served during the evening and a gen-
eral good time had by all.
Electricity Proposed for a Part of
Nittany Valley.
If plans that are now being consid-
ered materialize there will soon be an
electric service line for light and
power, through a portion of Nittany
valley at least.
The Nittany Country club has made
a request to the Keystone Power Cor- |
poration for service at the club house
at Hecla and it will probably be grant-
ed. If it is the service line will leave
the main cables of the company at
Pleasant Gap and run down what is
known as the back road to Zion and
thence to the club house. This will
give all the farm and other homes
along the line opportunity to connect
for light and power and run close
enough to Zion to offer residents of
that village the same advantage. The
back road down the valley seems most
desirable for the electric line because
only one side of it is at present lined
for telephone service, consequently
there would be less intterference than
thre would be if the new line were to
be strung on the main highway where
there are already two lines of poles
for telephones.
BOY BURNED TO DEATH.
Lost Life in Fire Which Destroyed
i W. C. Snyder’s Camp on
i : Beech Creek.
On Monday afternoon six Snow
Shoe boys, ranging in age from twelve
to fifteen years, went out onto the
headwaters of Beech Creek to fish.
Shortly before five o’clock on Tuesday
‘morning five of the number returned
home almost exhausted from running
and blurted out the tragic story that
‘one of their number had been burned
to death. Though rather incoherent
individually the facts as gathered
from all the boys are about as follows:
They left Snow Shoe about three
o’clock in the afternoon and walked
to Beech creek, a distance of approx-
‘imately five miles. After fishing a
little while the boys decided to stay
‘all night in the W. C. Snyder camp,
located in that locality. Whether the
‘camp was open or the boys forced an
lentrance is not definitely known at
this writing, but in any event they got
inside and proceeded to make them-
selves at home. The camp, a two sto-
ry house in reality, was partially fur-
nished. The kitchen contained a cook
stove and a big fire place was a fea-
ture of the living room. The boys ev-
idently had built a fire in the stove
and it was just possible had a fire in
the fire place, owing to the cool nignt.
They were sleeping upstairs in
the bunks and along about three
o’clock some of them were awakened
by smoke. Five of the boys were soon
wide awake but one of their number,
Aloysius Devlin, was so deep in the
arms of morpheus that it was impos-
sible to arouse him to a recognition of
the danger. The boys claim, however,
that they dragged him to the door and
then had trouble getting the door open
and when they did so the Devlin boy
had disappeared and the fire had got-
ten such a start they were compelled
to flee for their lives. The camp was
doomed and realizing that their
companion could not be saved the boys
started on a run for Snow Shoe and
never stopped until they reached the
Devlin home and distractedly told the
story of Aloysius’ horrible death.
It was only a question of minutes
until a motor party left for the scene
of the tragedy and arriving there
found the story of the boys to be only
too true. The fire had about burned
[itself out and the remains of the burn-
ed boy were recovered and wrapped
iin a coat, then conveyed to the Dev-
lin home.
| The unfortunate lad was a son of
Peter and Margaret Devlin and was a
little past twelve years of age. He
was said to be unusually bright and
considerable of a favorite among
Snow Shoe people. In addition to the
parents the following brothers and
sisters survive: William, of Storms-
town; Bridget and John, of Jersey
Shore; Victor, Dollie, Marge and two
others whose names could aot be
learned, at home.
{| Funeral services were held in the
Catholic church at Snow Shoe yester-
day morning by Father J. F. Connel-
ly, burial being made in the Catholic
cemetery. -

Centre County Baseball League to
Open the Season on Saturday.
Tomorrow they’ll be off. The am-
, ateur hurlers of Bellefonte, State Col-
, lege, Millheim and Centre Hall will be
serving the apple over the plate to the
Bambinos grown on the lots of old
Centre county. Baseball always was
popular and the way the new Centre
County League starts off promises to
make it intensely interesting for the
fans of the county.
There are to be no paid players, no
professionalism. Every town is to be
represented by players drawn from its
immediate vicinity. If this rule is ad-
hered to the League will be a success,
for it will not entail much of a finan-
cial burden, a large town team will
not be stuffed with paid players to the
disadvantage of a smaller one and,
over all that, every spectator will
know the boys he’s rootin’ for and
there’s nothing that inspires enthusi-
asm like personal interest.
‘The first game on the League sched-
ule will be tomorrow when Bellefonte
opens with State College at the latter
place. The first home game for Belle-
fonte will be with State College on
Memorial day. It will be called im-
mediately after the memorial exer-
cises here and will be played on
Hughes field as will all the home
games.
The admission will be 25 cents per
game throughout the season. The
schedule calls for twelve games in
Bellefonte.
Hugo Bezdek is president of the
League; Randall Musser, of Millheim,
secretary and treasurer, and John J.
Bower Esq., statistician.
The officers of the Bellefonte club
are George H. Hazel, president; Earl
Kline, manager; Blain Mabus, secreta-
ry, W. Fred Reynolds Jr., treasurer.
The board of directors comprises Geo.
H. Hazel, W. S. Brouse, Orian Kline,
H. J. Walkey and A. Linn McGinley.
The Bellefonte lineup for the open-
ing game at State College tomorrow
has not been determined. The follow-
ing players are on the list and the
team will be picked from them: John
Gordon, Edw. Miller, C. Torsel, Sam-
uel Weaver, Nevin Robb, E. Kline,
Robert Long, Russell Beezer, Basil
Martin, Joseph Katz, C. Thompson,
Joseph Herman, John Shope, Fred
Gelhaus, John Weber, Swengle Smith,
O. Shay, Claire Deitrich, Geo. Mosely,
Merle Waite, Henry Montgomery,
Thomas Mensch, Fred Lose, William
Kline and Gorman Fisher.

——Following the many and de-
lightful entertainments of music week
in Bellefonte came the recital of the
juvenile proteges of Mrs. Loius Schad
and Mrs. Robert Walker in the parish
house Tuesday night. Following our
surprise and. delight at hearing what
Mrs. Alberta Krader is developing in
the public schools in the way of an
outlet for musical talent a few even-
ings before we were prepared for most
anything, but confess our utter failure
i to grasp the possibilities after hearing
Master Gilbert Cole, scarcely more
than twelve years old, play the violin
with a master’s hand. Really his per-
formance was remarkable. And the
composure with which he concluded
the “Allegro Brilliant” by Ten Have,
after his accompanist had lost him,
was enough to arouse the envy of a
finished performer. The duet by Pearl
Garbrick and Eleanor Barnhart was
another outstanding number on the
program rendered by the little musi-
cians, as was the “Sonatina” for pi-
ano, by Mary Harvey. The entire con-
cert of the little folks was quite be-
yond the expectations of the large au-
dience.
Rev. Charles S. Keene, a mis-

Shamokin, but whose girlhood life was
spent in Centre Hall, her father hav-
ing been pastor of the Lutheran
church in that place for some years.
