There being no verbal communica-
tions the secretary presented the
bonds of overseers of the poor Alex-
ander Morrison and Thomas Fleming,
which had been approved as to form
by the borough solicitor, and the same
were referred to the Finance com-
mittee for consideration and recom-
mendation.
A communication was received
from the Associated Business Men of
Bellefonte endorsing the proposition
to purchase the Ulsh & Bashoar mill
property and pledging council the as-
sociation’s support.
The secretary presented lists of ex-
onerations of taxes requested by for-
mer tax collector J. Kennedy John-
ston for the years 1918, 1919, 1920
and 1921, the same being referred to
the Finance committee for investiga-
tion and recommendation.
The Logan fire company sent in the
following names as drivers for their
pumper: J. R. Storch, Ellis Hines, G.
Max Gamble and Allen McClellan.
The Undines named Basil Doll,
Charles Saxion, Ralph Moerschbacher
and George Carpeneto. The lists
were referred to the Fire and Police
committee for recommendation.
An application was received from
ex-sheriff Harry Dukeman for ap-
pointment as chief of police of Belle-
fonte, and the same was referred to
the Fire and Police committee for rec-
ommendation.
The Water committee reported the
collection of $193.00 on the 1922 water
duplicate.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported that an examination of the Un-
dine engine disclosed the fact that it
needs a new grate and crown piece
and will then be in good condition.
The committee also reported that the
hose tower at the Undine house is in
need of a new concrete floor. The com-
mittee was authorized to have the re-
pairs made. ;
The Finance committee asked for
the renewal of notes aggregating
$10,300.
In connection with the proposition
to purchase the Ulsh & Bashoar mill
property a communication was receiv-
ed from the elder Bashoar, of Millers-
burg, in which he stated that he had
consulted W. B. D. Ainey, of the Pub-
lic Service Commission, relative to
the proposition and that gentleman
stated that so far as purchasing the
plant for the purpose of securing
power for pumping water, the bor-
ough could do so without consulting
the Commission; but as to using the
power to light the streets that is a
matter that might have to be consid-
ered by the Commission. However,
the borough solicitor submitted a
written opinion in which he stated
that under the rules of the Public
Service Commission the borough has
the right to install machinery to light
the streets, but cannot sell either light
or power. The proposition was dis-
cussed from various angles and final-
ly referred to the Water, Street and
Finance committees for complete in-
vestigation and report at next meet-
ing of borough council, if possible.
James D. Seibert was re-elected
borough manager for the ensuing two
years; Edward J. Gehret borough
treasurer and N. B. Spangler solic-
itor.

marshall and John J. Bower, of the
Logans, and George Carpeneto, of the
Undines, assistants.
Bills to the amount of $819.52 were
approved for payment and council ad-
journed.
Auto Tourists to Florida Returning
by Rail.
Early in January Frank Hockman,
Lawrence McMullen and John Ross-
man, three well known residents at
Hecla, left on an auto trip to Florida
in Mr. Hockman’s car but their re-
turn next week will be made by rail
as far as Baltimore. Going south
they encountered good roads until
they crossed the line into Georgia
and through that State and northern
Florida motoring was most anything
but pleasure. They finally arrived
at Miami and by unanimous consent
promptly shipped their car by boat to
Baltimore and proceeded to enjoy the
delightful weather and diversified
pleasures of the Florida resort. They
will leave there early next week and
travel by rail to Baltimore where they
will pick up their car and motor home.
— Mrs. Maude G. Maines, who

the past eight years, has tendered her
resignation to take effect as soon as

qualify. It is her intention to move
‘to Rochester, N. Y.
Georges Bridges, of Washing-
ton, Pa., arrived in town on Monday
to accept the position of service man-
ager for the Beatty Motor company.
Mr. Bridges, better known as “Poe,”
was former service manager for the
C. B. McAllister Motor company, at
Washington. For the past ten years
he has been identified with the auto-
mobile industry, and for over five
years has specialized in Ford and Lin-
coln repair work. He is recognized
as an expert in his chosen work and
the Ford owners in Bellefonte and vi-
cinity are fortunate to have his serv-
ices at their command.

The Passion Play Coming.
A reproduction of the Passion Play,
as it was presented at Oberammer-
gau, in 1922, will be shown in the Red
Men’s hall, in this place, on Wednes-
day evening, February 6th.
The “Play” will have its screen
showing here as a benefit for the Pro-
tected Home Circle, which is a branch
or auxiliary organization of the Red
Men, and accepts membership of both
men and women. The “Home Circle,”
is as its name suggests and the new
Bellefonte chapter has started off
very auspiciously.
A Correction.
Last Friday Gordon Montgomery
came in to tell us that the story we
had published that morning with ref-
erence to the rumored sale of the
Bellefonte Fuel and Supply Co’s bus-
iness and realty was without founda-
tion.
We published it only as a rumor,
but did say that the business and
property is for sale. Mr. Montgom-
ery has told us that “positively neith-
er one are for sale” so that we cheer-
fully make correction of our state-
ment last week in accordance with his
statement to us.
W. J. Emerick Planning Another
Trip to the Coast.
Councilman W. J. Emerick is work-
ing out plans for another motor trip
to the Pacific coast. It will be re-
membered several years ago Mr. Em-
erick converted one of his busses into
a motor house and took his family
across the continent.
Now he is said to be arranging for
a much more commodious vehicle, one
that will have all the comforts of
home and provide accommodations for
ten. We understand that the party is
to be all men and several have already
signified their willingness to join it.

Lewisburg Man Fined for Violation
of Game Laws.
On Friday of last week, William H.
Snavely, of Lewisburg, formerly of
Greenbrier, Clinton county, was ar-
rested by game protector Miles Reed-
er, for a violation of section 705 of
the game laws, and was charged with
having killed a female deer on or
about the 14th of December, 1923.
Mr. Snavely was taken before Magis-
trate C. M. Steese, in Mifflinburg, on
Friday evening and after hearing
several witnesses he was placed un-
der $150.00 bail for appearance at a
hearing on Saturday afternoon.
The second hearing was held on
Saturday afternoon. H. M. Showalter
appeared for the defendant and L. F.
Lybarger for the Commonwealth. Ev-
idence was introduced showing that
the defendant had admitted killing
the doe, in the hearing of sheriff
Hackenburg and several other coun-
ty officers. The defendant’s son testi-
fied that he saw his father kill the
doe. After hearing the case the de-
fendant was found guilty and fined
one hundred dollars and the costs. He
was then placed under three hundred
dollars bail for a period of five days,
during which time he can either pay
the fine and costs, or appeal the case.

The Blizzard Reached Here, All Right.
That northwestern blizzard sched-
uled to reach this section early in the
week arrived on time, without snow,
however. The mercury dropped forty
degrees on Sunday and on Monday
morning thermometers in Bellefonte
registered as low as two degrees be-
low zero, while ten below was regis-
tered at Pleasant Gap. The arctic
temperature was accompanied by a
high wind and the two combined ren-
dered Monday the most wintry day
we have had this season. In fact it
was so cold on Monday that a number
of cars froze up and had to be hauled
into garages, while there were several
instances of bursted radiators. The
wind exhausted. its efforts during
Monday night but the cold increased
and six degrees below zero was re-
corded Tuesday morning.
About four o’clock on Monday
afternoon Bellefonte firemen were
called out by a fire at the home of
Thomas Shaughnessy, on Logan
street, but it proved to be only a flue
and no damage was done. Tuesday
morning the firemen were again call-
ed out to extinguish a small fire at the
home of Mrs. Louisa Harris, on Alle-
gheny street, caused by an attempt to
thaw out frozen water pipes by burn-
ing old newspapers. No great dam-
age was done, however.
Huntingdon Presbytery to Have
Home for Aged.
A year or more ago a committee was
appointed to secure a suitable site for
a home for the aged of the Hunting-
don Presbytery and announcement
was made this week that the commit-
tee had taken an option on the Keller
property at Gaysport, Blair county,
now owned by Frank P. McFarland
and Oliyer Rothert, and it is the gen-
eral belief that the Presbytery will
ratify the action of the committee and
sanction the purchase of the property.
If the deal is consummated the fine
colonial residence will be enlarged and
put in the best condition possible for
the purpose for which it is intended.
Plans for the enlargement and im-
provement will be made at once by
the committee on the strength that
the Presbytery will sanction the pur-
chase.
The churches will be canvassed for
funds for the property, building pur-
poses and endowment. As the Pres-
bytery covers a wide scope it is be-
lieved the securing of the money nec-
essary will be an easy matter. These
counties are included in the Presby-
tery: Bedford, Blair, Huntingdon,
Clearfield, Mifflin, Centre and Fulton.
The Keller mansion is of purely
colonial type and was built many
years ago by Henry Patterson, a pio-
neer contractor of Hollidaysburg, who
also built the famous reservoir that
was a feeder for the old canal. The
house is of the square type and is
built of solid brick with the choicest
lumber and is in excellent condition
today. It is well adapted to the pur-
pose and it will be an easy matter to
make the enlargement on account of
its shape, which improvements can be
made at minimum cost.
A feature of the house is its spiral
stairway, extending from the bottom
to the top, which is a splendid exam-
ple of the high grade hand work of
that day. The rooms are large and
well-lighted and have high ceilings.
This property is one of the most
desirable in Blair county in every re-
spect. It is especially suited for the
purpose by reason of being in a quiet
community and being in close touch
with the railroad and trolley line and
motor roads and in easy access of six
Presbyterian churches in Altoona and
Hollidaysburg. The house is situat-
ed on a large lot, with many trees,
flowers and a fine lawn which will be
still further improved, making it a
place of great beauty. The price
placed on it is $10,000.
Kansas Cottontails Being Distributed
in Centre County.
A second consignment of Kansas
cottontails was received on Monday
by game protector Thomas A. Mosier.
There were ten crates, with a dozen
rabbits to a crate. Five of the crates
were sent to Philipsburg for distribu-
tion while the other five were turned
over to John L. Knisely, who placed
some of the rabbits down in Curtin’s
gap, others out in the woods below
the Hines property and the remainder
near the old Gatesburg bank. Four
dead rabbits were found in the five
crates, leaving fifty-six alert animals
to be turned out for propagation pur-
poses.
Rabbit hunters in Centre county
might be interested in knowing that
the Pennsylvania Game Commission
has entered into contracts for the
shipment of twenty thousand Kansas
cottontails for the purpose of restock-
ing Pennsylvania lands, and of that
number seven thousand have already
been received or are on their way, al-
most a full car load being shipped in
one day.
Koon C. Beck, an animal dealer of
Hutchinson, Kan., has the contract to
furnish the rabbits. He buys them
from the farmers and their sons, who
catch them in traps, paying from
twenty-five to thirty-five cents each,
according to the quantity delivered.
The bunnies are shipped in specially
constructed crates holding one dozen,
each rabbit having a compartment of
its own. At the beginning of the trip
a receptacle in each compartment is
filled with food, including the third of
an ear of corn, alfalfa and a piece of
carrot. The latter furnishes all the
moisture the rabbit needs and the
quantity of food supplied will last the
entire trip.
During the latter half of December
Mr. Beck bought and shipped to Penn-
sylvania. 4000 rabbits, for which he
paid $1800. The express charges on
that number to Pennsylvania were
close to a thousand dollars, so that
exporting rabbits is a profitable busi-
ness for residents of Kansas, where
the bunnies are so plentiful that they
are very destructive to fruit and shade
trees and various kinds of crops; and,
in fact, are regarded as considerable
of a nuisance.
Motion to Advance in the Centre
County Bank Case Granted.
The motion to advance the three
cases of Florence F. Dale, Andrew
Breese and Geo. R. Meek against John
M. Shugert and the Centre County
Banking company which were far
down on the list for argument before
the Supreme court of the United
States, has been granted and Monday,
March 10th, set as the date for the
oral argument.
As we stated last week attorneys
Keller and Spangler were in Wash-
ington on Monday, January 14th. The
latter presented a petition to advance
the case. Mr. Keller, for his clients
acquiesced, with the result that the
date has been fixed as above. At that
time the oral argument will be made
by both sides on the jurisdictional
question involved and the Court will
later hand down its decision.
