istrative code. Among the many thus
tied up is the appropriation for new
‘buildings at the western penitentiary
zat Rockview, and if the Legislature
succeeds in getting the appropriation
through in a shape to meet all the re-
quirements of the various officials at
Harrisburg, it will doubtless increase
the building activity at Rockview the
coming summer.

fact he hands it to Bellefonte pretty
stiff by declaring that the field ought
never have been located here. While
the editor of the “Watchman” does
not know Lieut. Doyle, or on what au-
thority he undertakes to set himself
up as an authority on landing fields,
we do know Tyrone. It is virtually
located in a hole in the mountains and
is the one place in central Pennsylva-

BOROUGH COUNCIL ;
PAYS MANY BILLS.
Miscellaneous Business Transacted
at Monday Night’s Meeting.
Report of Fire Marshall.
Six members were present at the
‘regular meeting of borough council
on Monday evening, and the session
was devotel chiefly to cleaning up old
business from last year.
Daniel Snyder submitted a written
communication in which he claimed
discrimination in being charged water
tax for bath rooms in two houses
which did contain them. Another
complaint was received from Miss Hoy
and both referred to the Water com-
mittee for investigation.
The secretary reported that a check
for $50 had been received from the
borough of State College as an offer-
ing to the Logan Fire company for
responding to a call for assistance on
the occasion of the Allen street fire,
but owing to the fact that the com-
pany will not get into service the Fire
and Police committee recommended
tha tthe check be returned, and it was
so ordered.
The Street committee had nothing
special to report, but the Water com-
mittee reported that the borough man-
ager had collected $1787.19 on that
portion of the 1928 water duplicate
turned over to him by the Keystone
Power corporation. Also, that the G.
F. Musser company had paid $18.00
as its portion of the new chimney
erected at the office of the Phoenix
mill plant. Water meter bills total-
ling $3453.42 were reported ready to
turn over to the collector and the 1924
duplicate will be ready before the first
of February.
The Finance committee asked for
the renewal of three notes totalling
$6,500, and recommended that the an-
nual appropriation of $2,000 to the
sinking fund be made, which was au-
thorized. The committee also pre-
sented the treasurer’s statement which
showed that $21,500 worth of notes
had been paid off since October 1st,
but there are still $29,500 worth of
notes being carried by the Bellefonte
Trust company. The balance on hand
January 5th was $8,988.30.
The Fire and Police committee rec-
ommended that the annual appropria-
tions be paid to the fire companies,
and it was so ordered.
The Nuisance committee presented
a bill of John G. Love, secretary of
the board of health, for $31.26 for
transportating Mrs. Lyons to the
Home of the Good Shepherd, at Read-
ing. Some objections were raised to
the payment of the bill for the reason
that Mrs. Lyons was not legally a
resident of Bellefonte but of Spring
township, but inasmuch as the case
was one demanding prompt action it
was decided to pay the bill and look
to Spring township ‘for reimburse-
ment.
Chairman Brouse, of the Street
committee, inquired as to the street
lighting contract and was informed
that the old contract had expired but
no proposition for renewal had yet
been made.
The question of the efficiency of the
new beacon traffic lights was discus-
sed and most of the councilmen bore
evidence to the fact that motorists
are rot paying any more attention to
them than they did to the old-style
silent policemen. The Fire and Police
committee suggested that hand bills
be printed and distributed in automo-
biles, while several members favored
the arrest of any and all persons dis-
regarding the signs on the new lights.
Especial attention was called to the
danger of disregarding the sign at the
south Water street crossing, where
there have been several narrow es-
capes recently. From the temper of
every member of council it will be
well for every driver of a car to ob-
serve due caution in the future as ar-
rests are sure to follow utter disre-
gard of the new signs.
Bills were approved to the amount
of $5955.18, which practically cleans
up all the last year’s accounts with
the exception of the beacon lights, the
bill for which is not due and payable
until the first of March.
Before adjournment the Fire and
Police committee submitted the annu-
al report of fire marshall Robert
Kline, which was as follows:
To the Citizens, Fire and Police com-
mittee and Borough Council:
In submitting the following report
of the fire department of the borough
of Bellefonte I am not making excus-
es, but merely stating facts which
should not be lost sight of.
During 1924 the department re-
sponded to fifty-two calls, which was
thirty per cent. more than in 1923, di-
vided as follows: Number of alarms
in borough, 39; (one of which was a
false alarm, and at four of which our
services were not required). Fires
extinguished by chemicals, 28; by
water, 6. Total value of property in-
volved, $186,500. Total amount of
damage, $41,710. Number of alarms
outside of the borough, 13.
The figures for losses and total
property involved were arrived at by
estimating only calls in which we ac-
tually got into service and does not
include calls out of the borough.
The losses of $41,710 are almost
four times as great as those of last
year, and represents approximately
22 1-3 per cent. of the total value of
the property involved, but it must be
remembered that almost every section
of the United States reports much
greater losses in 1924 than in 1923.
Also the fact that we had thirty per
cent. more fires during 1924 than in
1928, which would naturally force the
percentage of losses up. We also wish
to advise that such buildings as the
Bush house, Bellefonte Academy and
the Abramsen Engineering company,
which alone represent a valuation of
at least $160,000, are not included in
this report, as we actually did not get
into service but simply stood by and
investigated the premises. I also re-
mind you that we had four disastrous
fires during 1924, and were fortunate
in 1923 in not having a single large
‘loss. The big fires the past year were
Decker Bros. garage, John McCoy's
residence, the Masonic Temple and the
| Gross Bros. building, the loss at any
one of the above being greater than
the total loss during 1923. That the
losses were not greater is due to our
chemical apparatus. :
Each of the fire companies now have
1400 feet of good hose, a total of
2800 feet. There is also about 350
feet of old hose in short sections which
can be pressed into service, if neces-
sary, but it is not dependable. The
apparatus is in excellent condition and
well taken care of. :
I have nothing but praise for the
personnel of our fire department.
Their efficiency and promptness is sec-
ond to no volunteer department in the
State. :
Bellefonte is indeed fortunate in
having such a body of loyal, courag-
eous and self-sacrificing men, who for
no personal gain respond to the cit-
izens’ call for assistance and help pro-
tect their lives and property. It may
be zero weather, day or night, rain or
shine, it makes no difference to them.
They respond with a willingness and
promptness that is remarkable.
In conclusion I wish to thank the
members of borough council for the
support of the department.
ROBERT KLINE, Fire Marshall
Watch Your Label.
Tomorrow the “Watchman”
mailing list will be corrected. We
have not sent receipts to many
who have remitted by check dur-
ing the Holiday period and fear-
ful lest we might have failed to
credit some of you will you please
check up on us by glancing at
your labeel this week and next.
The label on your paper this
week will be just as it has ap-
peared for some time. Next
week it should move up in the fig-
ures for exactly the amount you
have recently remitted; figured at
the rate of $1.50 per year.
If you have paid and there is no
change in your label advise us at
once with the date and ‘amount
of your remittance.
Those receiving papers in sin-
_ gle wrappers will find their label
on the wrapper and not on the
top of the front page as is the
case with those sent in bundles.
Remember, that those who have
remitted since January 7th, espe-
cially if they live at distant
points, may find no change in
their labels for the reason that
their remittance might not have
reached us in time for the change
tomorrow.
No New Developments in Blanchard
Moshannon Coal Co.
Nothing new has developed during
the past week in the matter of the ap-
plication for an appointment of a re-
ceiver for the Blanchard-Moshannon
Coal company, an organization in
‘which resident: of Bellefonte and
Centre county are interested to the
extent of approximately $175,000. The
application for the appointment of a
receiver was made by Nelson E. Robb
and Robert F. Hunter, two Bellefonte
members of the board of directors.
As stated exclusively in the “Watch-
man” last week, the application was
made to Judge Eugene C. Baird, of
the Clinton county court, and he is-
sued a rule upon the officers of the
company to show cause why the ap-
pointment should not be made.
William G. Blanchard, of Pitts-
burgh, is president of tre company
and the head offices are in the Fulton
building, that city. In a statement
given out on Monday he says that
“the company owns more than 5,000
acres of coal land in Clinton county,
and that the development was started
eighteen months ago by placing two
enormous stripping shovels on the
property.
“During the first year of operation
the company produced more than
100,000 tons of coal, but due to the
serious price resession in the bitumin-
ous industry some financial difficulties
have been encountered,” his statement
said. “It is felt, however, that as the
upturn in the market has already ap-
peared that the company will enjoy
a prosperous period throughout the
next year and be able thereby to place
itself in a satisfactory financial posi-
tion.”
Bellefonte and Centre county stock-
holders in the company will no doubt
rejoice if Mr. Blanchard’s predictions
come true, but they are also desirous
of seeing the company under new
management.
Laundry Damaged by
Fire,
Penitentiary
Excessive heat in the drying room
of the laundry at the Rockview peni-
tentiary caused a fire, about ten
o'clock on Sunday morning, which de-
stroyed a quantity of clothing and
ruined the leather belting which hung
on pulleys attached to the ceiling, as
well as doing other damage estimated
at about $3,000. The loss was prac-
tically covered by insurance. New
belting was secured and repairs made
so that the laundry could be put in
operation on monday morning.

BELLEFONTE MOOSE LODGE
RAIDED BY STATE POLICE.
One Hundred and Thirty Cases of
Home Brew Found and
Confiscated.
One. hundred and seventy cases of
home brew, averaging from three to
four per cent. alcohol, and five fifty
gallon stone crocks one of them filled
with mash in course of fermentation,
were found and confiscated in a raid
on the Bellefonte Lodge of Moose
made on Tuesday evening by state po-
lice under command of Sergt. Buck-
ley. The raid was pulled off at seven
o'clock in the evening, and although
the hour was quite early, quite a num-
ber of members were in the lodge cafe
with Jesse Dunlap in charge of the
liquid refreshments. Frank P. Bart-
ley is the regular steward of the club
but he happened to be out of town
that night and Mr. Dunlap was work-
ing for him, but as he was the man in
charge at the time the raid was made
Lie has been held in $1000 bail pending
a hearing at two o’clock this (Friday)
afternoon before justice of the peace
S. Kline Woodring.
MISS RHOADS SUPPLIES INFORMA-
TION, DISTRICT ATTORNEY ACTS.
The raid was the result of informa-
tion furnished the new district attor-
ney, Ivan Walker, by Miss Rebecca
Rhoads. From supposedly reliable
sources it has been learned that a
young man by the name of Mike Rice
became peeved at something ten days
or two weeks ago and to get even went
to Miss Rhoads and gave her a de-
tailed statement of the inside work-
ings of the Moose lodge. The latter
took it all down in writing and later
took the statement to district attor-
ney Walker. That official communi-
cated with the squad of state police
located at the T. E. Jodon home, ai
Pleasant Gap, Sergt. Buckley being
the officer in charge.
In order to get direct evidence, it is
said, one or more of the officials,
dressed as civilians, secured admission
to the Moose lodge last week and not
only saw sales of the home brew be-
ing made but purchased and paid for
some of it. Early this week Sergt.
Buckley, accompanied by the district
attorney, went before justice of the
peace Woodring, made information
against the Moose and secured a
search warrant.
Following the raid on Tuesday even-
ing the officers were a little uncertain
‘t as to what to do with the stuff seized.
Being a home brew there was some
uncertainty as to its alcoholic content.
According to report the officers “sniff-
ed” it and decided it was not entirely
Valsteadic. So they left two men on
. , guard all night and on Wednesday
samples of the brew were turned over
to David Washburn, chemist at the
Ainerican Lime & Stone company, for
analysis. He made several tests and
the home brew registered from three
to four per cent. alcoholic content.
Late on Wednesday afternoon the en-
tire stock was removed to the county
jail and stored in the cellar of the
sheriff’s residence. No liquor other
than the home brew was found.
On information furnished the dis-
trict attorney and Sergt. Buckley also
secured warrants on which the Gar-
man house was raided but failed to
find anything in the shape of intoxi-
cating liquor.
The raiding of the Moose was prob-
ably the initial step in making Belle-
fonte a teetotaller, but the chances
are that any raids that may be pulled
off in the future will be barren of re-
sults, as all clubs where liquor of any
kind has been on the daily bill of fare
will probably clean house, if they have
not already done so. The one thing
of interest now is the final outcome of
the raid upon the Moose when the
case finally comes before Judge Ar-
thur C. Dale..
Mill Hall Milk Condensary Shut
Down Indefinitely.
The milk condensary at Mill Mall,
which has been in almost continuous
operation for many years, was shut
down indefinitely last week, because
the company could not afford to pay
the price for milk being paid by the
Sheffield Farms company, which has
milk stations in Bellefonte, Howard
and Jersey Shore. The price paid by
the condensary was $1.75 and $1.90
per hundred pounds according to the
quality of the milk, while the Sheffield
Farms company pays $2.50 and $2.90,
the latter for four per cent. milk, and
practically all the milk received at
the Bellefonte station now averages
four per cent.
In this connection it might be said
that when the Sheffield Farms com-
pany bought out the Western Mary-
land Dairy they promptly gave notice
to all customers that they would have
to build milk houses and fix up their
dairy barns to conform with the re-
quirements of the city of New York.
The farmers recognized the justice in
the requirements and with possibly
two or three exceptions they all com-
plied. In fact on December first the
Bellefonte plant began the shipment
of milk into New York city and the
entire supply will henceforth go there
regularly. At the present time the
supply furnished the station here is
one-third greater than a year ago,
showing that the farmers realize that
the milk business means a monthly
pay check such as they could derive
from no other source.

beautifully and appropriately for the
occasion with flags, candles and ever-
greens. A reproduction of a Paul Re-
vere lantern, loaned by the Misses
Parker, burned from the top of a pul-
pit pedestal, arousing interest and
stirring imagination, but causing no
alarm from that elevation. :
The entertainment feature of the
meeting was a musicale. Mrs. Louis
Schad, violinist, and Mrs. Robert
Walker, vocal soloist, accompanied by
Mrs. Russell Blair, delighted their au-
dience and generously responded to
encore after encore, as did Miss Gay,
piano soloist, of State College. The
latter’s rendition of a selection from
Chopin was especially beautiful. -
With the Sick.
Louis Grauer, who has been ill this
week, the result of a severe heart at-
tack, at the Lyon & Co. store, Tues-
day afternoon, has now recovered, but
not sufficiently to resume business.
Edward Doll is critically ill at hig
home in Altoona, with little hope of
his recovery.
The condition of Frank McFarlane,
of Boalsburg, whom reports said last
week was markedly worse, is normal.
Mr. McFarlane has not been in good
health for several years.
Mrs. Frank Derstine, of Juniata,
well known to many persons in Belle-
fonte, fell on the ice while out skat-
ing last week, fracturing her shoulder.

Woman Hurt in Auto Accident.
Mrs. Albrectsen, of Marathon, N.
Y., is in the Centre County hospital
with a fractured hip as the result of
an auto accident near Wolf's school
house, west of Hublersburg, on Mon-
day. Her son is a student at State
College, and she was accompanying
him upon his return to the College fol-
lowing the holiday vacation. Coming
up the state road he attempted to turn
out to pass a Ford car and ran into a
concrete culvert. His car was badly
damaged and his mother seriously in-
jured. The young man escaped with
a few slight scratches.
