Miscellaneous Business Transacted by
Boreugh Council.
A communication from M. Ward
Fleming, referee in bankruptcy for
the middle district of Pennsylvania,
was read at Monday night’s meeting
of borough council, setting forth the
fact that as a result of the voluntary
bankruptcy proceedings of Franklin
Pearce Bartley, of Bellefonte, a meet-
ing of the creditors will be held at his
offices in the Moshannon bank build-
ing at Philipsburg on June 21st.
Bellefonte borough is interested to the
extent of several year’s taxes, etc.,
and the tax collector was notified of
the meeting.
A communication was received from
D. A. Barlett asking that a sewer be
put down on Church alley to Curtin
street. Myr. Barlett offered to con-
tribute fifty dollars toward the ex-
pense of putting down the sewer and
also stated that Fred Herman, who
has started erection of his new house
in that locality, will likewise contrib-
ute fifty dollars. The matter was re-
ferred to the Street committee.
Mr. Cunningham, of the Water com-
mittee, stated that the committee had
made an examination of the condition
on the west side of Logan’s Branch,
near the Phoenix mill, and do not be-
lieve it would be the proper thing to
grant the Evangelical church congre-
gation permission to dump clay and
stone on the plot of ground there be-
longing to the borough, as there is
too much danger of it falling into the
stream. The committee, however,
would favor granting them the priv-
ilege of piling building material
thereon.
Mr. Cunningham also reported that
some repairs are needed at the Phoe-
nix mill and that the old pump build-
ing at the spring should be generally
overhauled and painted. Also, that a
new leather belt should be purchased
for the Phoenix mill pump. The
committee was authorized to make the
repairs and purchase the belt.
The Fire and Police committee pre-
sented a check for $25.00 from the
Bellefonte Central Railroad company,
as recognition of the firemen’s serv-
ices on the occasion of the fire at Hun-
ter’s park several months ago. The
committee also presented a communi-
cation from burgess W. Harrison
Walker recommending the appoint-
ment of W. H. Geisinger as policeman
to succeed G. W. Smith, resigned, and
suggested that he be paid a salary of
$110 a month. A formal application
was also received from Mr. Geisinger,
who offered to furnish his first uni-
form, and a letter of recommendation
favorable to Mr. Geisinger was re-
ceived from J. Laird Holmes, former
burgess of State College. Mr. Flack,
chairman of the committee, stated
that he was opposed to making the
salary $110 a month, because the po-
sition don’t warrant it, but he would
recommend $90 a month. Mr. Fau-
ble finally made a motion that
the burgess’ recommendation of Mr.
Geisinger be accepted and that
the salary be fixed at $90 a month,
which, of course, will include all po-
licemen, regular as well as special.
The motion carried.
Mr. Waite stated that the congre-
gation of the United Brethren church
is about to make some repairs to their
property, including the curb and
pavement on High street, and they
would like to have an established
grade. The matter was referred to
the Street committee and borough
manager.
The Street committee presented a
profile of the proposed grading of
east Curtin and north Wilson streets,
as prepared by borough engineer H.
B. Shattuck, together with an esti-
mate of the cost of the work, which
was given as not to exceed $1935. The
Street committee and borough man-
ager were authorized to advertise for
bids for the grading.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported that the concrete crossings over
the gutter at the Undine Fire compa-
ny building have been completed and
the men are ready to begin work on
similar erossings at the public build-
ing on Howard street, and recommend-
ed the removal of a big tree at the
corner of the building.’ The matter
was referred to the committee with
power.
Borough manager J. D. Seibert re-
ported that the big tree standing on
the corner of the Benner property is
so badly decayed that it is a danger to
life and property. The future of the
tree was left in the hands of the
Street committee and borough man-
ager.
Bills to the amount of $935.79 were
approved for payment after which
council adjourned.

Peters Family Re-union.
The sixth annual re-union of the
Peters family was held Saturday,
June 16th, in Kohlbecker’s grove.
i The day was ideal for a gathering of
this kind. There is nothing that gives
one more pleasure then just to forget
all work and cares for the day and
gather in the woodlands, greet rela-
tives and friends and partake of a
big dinner together in the shade of
the big trees. The Peters family was
well represented but the crowd was
not as large as at some of the former
gatherings. :
After dinner was served and every
one pretty well satisfied, except that
they had eaten just a little bit too
much, the gathering was called to
order by vice president Samuel Weav-
er, and the re-union business trans-
acted. The officers elected for the en-
suing year are as follows: President,
J. Orvis Peters; vice president, Sam-
uel Weaver; secretary,
Peters; treasurer, B. F. Peters.
A number of recitations were ren-
dered which were enjoyed by all.
Then Rev. Remley gave a talk which
could hardly be excelled. It was
planned to have an entertainment
committee for next year and have
some games and contests for the chil-
dren, and the grown-ups as well.
Finally the good-byes were said and
all departed for their various homes,
hoping that everyone may be able to
meet next year, and feeling that the
day was well spent. *

The Governor Should Sign These
State College Bills.
The “Watchman” heartily endorses
the following article published in the
“Harrisburg Telegraph” on Monday:
Governor Pinchot has upon his desk
two important measures vitally af-
fecting the future of State College.
One of these bills provides for a re-
funding of the present mortgage debt
of approximately $200,000 in a new
mortgage of $2,000,000 upon the
buildings and equipment. In this way
the present indebtedness would be
liquidated and the institution imme-
diately would have the necessary
‘funds for restoring the main engineer-
ing building burned in 1918 and com-
pleting the Liberal Arts building now
temporarily housed in the old main
structure. The other bill carries
$2,993,914 for general maintenance of
all schools and departments for agri-
cultural and home economics exten-
sion, and agricultural research.
Both these measures were reported
from the appropriation committees of
i and with the same unanimity were en-
acted into law by the Senate and
House after having been endorsed by
the Council of Education. This un-
usual unanimity of sentiment in the
Legislature is regarded as a signifi-
cant sign of widespread interest of
velopment of a great educational in-
: stitution.
final analysis the “People’s College”
with a student bedy of more than
3,000 at the present time after 625
had been refused admission last year
—in addition to a summer school of
teachers—showing no argument
needed as to the deep interest of the
people generally in the college.
It is not an alarmist statement

sure will be signed and the Governor
has been strongly urged to give his
approval to the companion bill pro-
viding for general maintenance and
agricultural research. While author-
izing an indebtedness is not the ideal
lieved to be the most practicable under
present financial e¢ircumstances. Relief
is imperative not only because of sad-
ly overcrowded conditions, but also be-
cause of the dangerous fire risks and
inability of the institution to do its
work and take care of the students
applying with the present equipment.
Room is needed in practically every
corner of the college.

cently graduated at State College

| $1,000,000 every year. The dean of |
| the school of engineering, having in’
{ his charge, 1,100 students, is obliged
| to locate his office nearly a quarter of
: a mile from the main engineering lab-
i oratories. Any number of the depart-
{ ments have their work located in two
l or three separate buildings. The en-
| tire third floor of the old fire-trap
{ main building is occupied by recita-
| tion rooms, and the two upper floors
are used as a men’s dormitory. No

| work now housed in it.

program which will fit in with the per-
manent buildings to be erected from
the proceeds of the proposed bond is-
sue.
Thousands hope the Governor may
give Penn State its full appropria-
tion. Governor Sproul vetoed a mil-
lion of the fund provided in the bill
of the last Legislature. Unless suf-
ficient funds are provided the faculty
of the big institution will be serious-
ly disrupted.
Among the matters mentioned as
requiring immediate attention is the
plant which has been grossly neglect-
ed owing to an inadequate mainte-
nance fund for buildings and grounds.
Evidence of neglect appears on every
part of the campus. A new sewage-

priation granted by the Legislature is
approved in full, only moderate relief
will be afforded. It is said to be a mil-
lion and a half less than requested by
the college for urgent matters.

Supt. J. K. John:zton Talked to Farm-
ers at State College.
Co-operation between the farmer
and the railroad companies is neces-
sary these days as an economic means
of marketing crops, and that was the
keynote of an address delivered last
| Thursday at the farmers’ day gather-
jing at State College by J. K. John-
i ston, superintendent of the Tyrone di-
| vision of the Pennsylvania railroad.
| Mr. Johnston spent his boyhood days
on a farm and according to his own
words did about everything any other
boy did who worked on a farm fifty
years ago, before the days of so much
labor-saving machinery. In those
days the hired man was paid $15 a
month and board, got up in the morn-
ing at the break of day and worked as
| long as he could see. Because of the
| fact that he showed a remarkable
‘knowledge of farming conditions, not
only of the past, but of the present
. day, Supt. Johnston was listened to
| with very close attention.
Following his address he was en-
