not yet given his answer to the call it
is believed he will accept. hes
NEW STREET LIGHTING
CONTRACT SUBMITTED.
Spring Street to be Repaired but Not
Widened Nor Paved.
The borough dads sure earned their
salaries (?) on Monday evening.
Every member with the exception of
Thomas Hazel was in his seat at 7.30
o’clock and it was 9.30 when the boz-
ough law-makers adjourned. A num-
ber of important questions were up
for consideration and action, but here
is the story in detail:
Mr. and Mrs: John Porter Lyon
were present to request a correction
of their water tax statement, having
been charged for two houses for three
months before one house was com-
pleted and occupied. The secretary
was authorized to make the proper
adjustment. Mr. and Mrs. Lyon also
complained about the low pressure of
the water at their residence, which
they contended is not sufficient to
furnish ample fire protection.
Mrs. Samuel Shallcross was also
present and stated that her husband
had purchased a lot on east Curtin
street with the intention of erecting
thereon a comfortable home, and they
are anxious to know if they will be
able to get an ample supply of water
there and also have adequate fire pro-
tection before they start to build.
Both the above were referred to the
Water committee and borough mun-
ager for a thorough investigation and
report.
The Fullington Auto Bus company
gave a written notice that they have
applied for a certificate of public con- |
venience to operate a motor bus be- |
‘approved for payment,
tween Bellefonte and Tyrone, and
that a hearing will be held before the
Public Service Commission, in Harris
burg, on April 23rd.
A communication was received from
the State Board of Health requesting
council to file plans of water and:
sewage system of the town at the
earliest possible date. Referred to
the Sanitary, Water and Street com-
mittees and the borough manager.
A petition was received from resi-
dents of east Linn and Curtin streets
asking that they be given a more reg-
ular supply of water. Referred to the
Water committee.
G. Edward Haupt again protested
against his water bill of $98, and the
matter was referred to the Water
committee and borough manager for
investigation and adjustment.
The Street committee presented the
provision in the new contract gives
council the right to terminate it at
the end of one year from the day it
becomes effective by giving sixty
days notice, but if not terminated at
that time, then to be in effect for a
period of ten years. Another clause
provides that in the event of power
rates to the producer being reduced
at any time in the future, then the
consumer is to be granted a relative
reduction in rates. The contract will
come up at the next regular meeting
for final action.
Mr. Brouse, of the Street commit-
tee, stated that so much opposition
had developed to the widening of
Spring street, between Bishop and
High, that the committee deemed it
unwise to undertake it now; and that
the financial condition of the borough
does not warrant paving the street
this year. But it should be fixed and
the committee recommended that it
be given a top dressing of tar and
stone chips from Bishop to Linn
street, and that the work be started
at once so that it can be completed by
the recommendation of the committee
and authorized the work done. This
will put Spring street in relatively
the same condition as Allegheny, Linn
and east Bishop streets are now.
Mr. Seibert stated to council that
| W. R. Shope is desirous of opening up
{a tract of land he owns east of the
i Catholic cemetery and extending back
‘to the old Nittany Valley railroad,
,and that he will give the ground if
‘the borough will open up and grade
the street. Referred to the Street
committee. .
Bilis to the amount of $2467.37 were
after which
council adjourned.
“So Big,” Edna Ferber’s Realistic
Novel Begins in This Issue.
The “Watchman’ ’today offers the
first installment of “So Big,” Edna
Ferber’s astonishing literary achieve-
ment.
Nearly every one is talking about
the novel that has continued to be a
“best seller” ever since its publication
believes it has scored a scoop in ob-
taining the serial rights for its read-
ers.
“So Big” defies analysis and de-
scription in that it is a vastly different
story than it is customary to publish
serially in a newspaper. It deals with
human beings, their thoughts and ac-
tions, with the usual breathless thrills
borough manager's report of work
done on various streets, and also the
collection of $60 for sewer permits.
The Water committee reported a
new water line laid to the milk station |
and that the old building at the pump- |
ing station has been torn down to!
make place for the new building au-
thorized. Chairman Cunningham also '
reported that after the building had!
been torn down they discovered that !
the brick walls around the big boilers | Rev. Wilson P. Ard, who upon leaving ,
had become
so disintegrated that |
they will have to be torn down, and an |
examination of the two big boilers |
reveals the fact that they are also in
a bad condition. The boilers were in- |
stalled along about 1900, and the!
ordinary life of a boiler being twenty |
years, have about served their days
of usefulness. Mr. Cunningham stated
that one of two things ought to ba
done: Purchase and install one new
boiler of ample capacity to use in em-
ergencies, or install an oil engine and
centrifugal pump and electric genera- !
tor. The pumping contract with the;
Keystone Power company will expire:
next year, when the electric pump,
will become the property of the bor-
ough, and with an oil engine, centri-
fugal pump and electric generator
the borough would have ample equip-
ment to pump all the water needed
for twenty-five years to come, and at
a much less annual expense than at
present. The committee was instruct-
ed to get figures on the cost of in-
stallation of one boiler, and also on
the oil engine, centrifugal pump and
generator, with the probable cost of
operation of the latter, and report at
next meeting.
The Finance committee reported a:
balance in the hands of the treasurer
of $5672.39. The committee also,
asked for the renewal of notes totall- |
ing $7,830.
The Fire and Police committee sug-
gested that all crossings in the busi-
ness section of the town be outlined
with white stripes of paint, as auto-
mobilists are stopping and parking on
crossings without regard to the rights
of pedestrians. Mr. Flack also report-
ed that policeman Howley is in need
of a new uniform. Mr. Cunningham
stated that he is opposed to purchas-
ing uniforms for the police. That no
company nor business man buys the
working clothes of their employees
and the borough should not be obliged
to do it either. The committe was
instructed to find out the custom in
other towns.
John Spicer wants a sewer on
Logan street and the matter was re-
ferred to the Street committee.
The revised ordinance for licensing
movie picture shows, circuses, carni-
vals, ete., was read for the first time.
Mr. Brouse, of the Street commit-
tee, submitted the revised contract of
the Keystone Power corporation for
lighting the streets of the town. It
provides for the installation of a new
system of lighting on the present
standards owned by the borough on
High and Allegheny streets, and the
total yearly expense, for the same
number of lights now in use, to be
$6368. The total cost for lighting the
streets last year was $4845.60, but
that was under the contract made ten
years ago when everything was very
conspicuous by their absence.’

reading it now. You will enjoy every
word of it to the surprising but not
startling finish.
Rev. Wilson P. Ard Accepts Call to
Denver, Col., Church.
Word has reached Bellefonte ‘that
Bellefonte two months ago went di-
rect to Santa Monica, Cal.,, has ac-
cepted a call to become pastor of a
big and influential church in Denver,
Col. Exact data in connection with
his new pastorate has not yet reached
Bellefonte, but it is understood that
the church has a large and growing
congregation, and they have just com-
pleted the erection of a new and hand-
some parsonage which Rev. Ard and
his family will occupy; Mrs. Ard and
her little son expecting to go to Den-
ver from Santa Monica early in May.
The salary the church pays its minis-
ter is not definitely known, but it is
decidedly larger than he received in
Bellefonte.
The Denver church will afford Rev. bi
Ard a good field for his talents in up-
building and creating an interest in
all kinds of church work. That he
will succeed is a foregone conclusion
and we feel sure that he has the best
wishes of his many Bellefonte and
Centre county friends for unlimited
suecess in his new pastorate.
State College Man Willing to Fly to
North Pole.
Among the forty-three navy and
marine officers who have volunteered
to fly the two navy planes that will
accompany the MacMillan Arctic ex-
pedition and attempt to cross the un-
known continent believed to lie be-
tween Alaska and the North Pole is
Lieut. M. B. Gardner, of State Col-
lege. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank B. Gardner, of that place. The
young lieutenant is a regular soldier
of fortune He graduated from the
Naval Academy, at Annapolis, in 1918;
served in the world war and later
against the Bolshevik in the Black
Sea. While there he was sent to pro-
tect American interests in southern
Russia. Returning home he was ap-
pointed an instructor at the naval air
station at Pensacola.
The goddess of luck has been with
Lieut. Gardner most of his life. Dur-
ing his school days he invariably won
out over all others in any matter of
volunteer service and always made
good. This fact may be in his favor
now and result in his selection as one
of the North Pole fliers. While it is a
hazardous and dangerous undertaking
the lieutenant’s parents are satisfied
to have him make a try at it should
he be chosen as one of the pilots.
William R. Quick, whose name
was kept very much in the limelight
a year or so ago because of uncon-
genial domestic relations, is again in
the toils of the law, having been ar-
rested by State police, last Thursday
night, with two quarts and a pint of
moonshine in his posession. He is
now in the Centre county jail await-
much cheaper than it is today. A
ing disposition of his case.

A Regrettable Loss to Music Circles
Here.
The departure of Miss Rebecca
Pugh Lyon to resume her studio work
in Philadelphia is a distinct loss to the
music life of this community. During
her three years residence here she was
very active, musically, and, while de-
voting much of her time to training
young teachers anxious to enter the
profession, she organized, with the as-
sistance of Mrs. Joseph Mitchell, the
music study club that numbered over
one hundred members and, in co-op-
eration with the music clubs of State
College, Philipsburg and Harrisburg,
gave a number of delightful concerts
and recitals. Especially to be remem-
bered was the song and piano recital
by Mrs. Arthur Hull assisted by Mrs.
"Rhodes and the costume song-recital
"by Miss Latta, at that time president
of the State Federation of music clubs.
The melodrama of Enoch Arden, given
by Miss Lyon last November for the
, Woman’s club, was considered one of
‘ the finest treats the club has had.
Born of an old and prominent Belle-
fonte family, Miss Lyon has spent
most of her life in Philadelphia study-
ing under such prominent teachers as
Maurits Leefson, and Constantin von
Sternberg from whose coservatory she
holds a player’s and teacher’s certifi-
cate as likewise one from the Les-
chetizky school of piano playing. Ad-
ded to these has been study in Berlin
under Philip Scharwenka, the eminent
Polish composer and teacher. Her
clientele in Philadelphia were among
the leaders in the musical life there,
including the McKean, Cassat, Mont-
gomery and Leidy families. She is a
member of the Art Alliance of that
city and of the Historical Society of
Pennsylvania:
While it is to be regretted that there
were not inducements sufficient to hold
Miss Lyon in Bellefonte, her influence
will continue to be felt in a higher
standard of musical excellence es-
pecially on the piano, her chosen in-
strument.
Trout Fishing Season will Open Next
Wednesday.
| If the indications of that restless
| feeling which have been so prevalent
among the old-time trout fishermen
can be counted upon meaning any-
; thing there will be a general exodus
{from Bellefonte next Wednesday
: morning, bright and early, for the
! opening of the trout fishing season.
| The lure of the stream and wood-
land is coursing through the blood
like rich wine, and many hands are
aching for the feel of the rod and line.
Many Centre county streams were re-
stocked with trout since the close of
last year’s fishing season and the
disciples of Izaak Walton are con-
; templating good catches. The reali-
| zation may prove vastly différent, but
‘the day on the stream will be worth
all the trouble it takes to get there
and any disappointment that may fol-
i low over the size of the catch.
Of course there’s no predicting
where the best fishing will be found
on the opening morning. In fact, if
we knew, that’s probably where the
Watchman fish editor would go, so
we wouldn’t dare tell. But Centre
county is full of trout streams and all
any fisherman will need do is go to
the county treasurer’s office, pay his
money for the necessary license then
take his choice of streams. The only
thing he wants to remember is that a
portion of Spring creek within the
limits of Bellefonte borough is closed
to trout fishing. Keep out of that sec-
tion and aveid any possibility of
trouble. :
Pleasant Gap Man Fined for Fast
Driving, Etc.
It cost Harvey Markle, the well
known milk dealer of Pleasant Gap,
$62.50 for trying to run away from
a state peliceman on Saturday night,
but he had a hair-raising run for his
money. Mr. Markle, with his wife
and child, left Pleasant Gap in his
Dodge coupe about eight o’cloek to
come to Bellefonte. Just this side of
the Gap he met a state policeman en
a motor-cycle and the officer noticed
that Mr. Markle was still using illegal
licenses on the head lights of his car.
He signalled him to stop but instead
of doing so Mr. Markle stepped on the
gas and led the policeman a merry
chase. He came in the state highway
at from fifty to sixty miles an hour,
barely missed hitting several automo-
biles and when he reached the road up
Irish Hollow made the turn while
going at a fifty-four mile speed. It
was out in the neighborhood of the
Nigh bank that the officer finally over-
took him.
Four charges were preferred
against him before Squire Keichline,
speeding on the highway, reckless
driving, using illegal headlights and
refusing to stop when flagged by an
officer. He pled guilty and settled the
case by paying $60 fine and costs,
which were $2.50.
Bellefonte contractors can get
a good object lesson as to how big
contractors do things by watching the
progress of the work of erecting the
big hangar and other buildings on the
new aviation field. The writer visited
the field last Saturday and they were
just finishing the concrete floor and
had started putting together the big
wooden trusses for the roof. By
Tuesday morning all the steel super-
structure was in place, all the trusses
up and about one-fourth of the brick
wall around the big hangar had been
laid. With continued fair weather all
the buildings will be under roof be-
fore the first of May.

Had Scare
Lost Boy.
Residents of Snow Shoe and vicin-
{ity had quite a scare early this week
{ when the little curly headed son of
| Mr. and Mrs. Andy Botson was re-
i ported lost. The lad, who is between
i two and three years old, was noticed
{ playing near the house by his mother
about two o’clock on Tuesday after-
, noon. When she looked for him short-
ly afterwards he had disappeared and
no search or calls brought any knowi-
edge of his whereabouts.
Visions of kidnappers and all man-
ner of bogey stories flitted before the
frantic mother’s vision and it took
but a brief time to arouse the entire
neighborhood. Searching parties
were organized and the country round
about was searched without bringing
to light any traces of the boy. The
search was continued all of Tuesday
night and it was not until ten o’clock
on Wednesday morning that he
was found, safe and sound, though
quite hungry, not much over half a
mile from his home. He had evident-
ly just wandered away and become
lost, hence was unable to find his way
back home.

The Brooklyn Daily Times of
last Thursday published a detailed ac-
count of a testimonial banquet that
was recently given in New York city
in honer of John Paul Kottcamp. Mr.
Kottcamp has been for nineteen years
identified with the Pratt Institute of
Engineering in that city and if the
felieitations on the occasion are to be
believed was easily the most popular
as well as most valuable man on the
staff. Over two hundred alumni, stu-
dents and instructors of the Institute
gathered to pay tribute to his service
to them and wish him well in the new
position he has accepted with the
Johns-Mandeville Co., of New York.
After having heard him make a ten
minute speech at the annual Engi-
neer’s banquet last December, in New
York, the vice president of the Johns-
Mandeville Co., was so impressed with
Mr. Kottcamp that he offered him
such inducements as were irresistible
and he severed his long connection
with the Pratt. While not a Centre
countian by birth we have a strong
claim on Mr. Kottcamp. He is a grad-
uate of State, 1904, and his wife is the
eldest daughter of Dr. W. S. Glenn,
of State College. A coincidence in
this connection is that Arthur C.
“Bud” Harper, of this place, will sue-
ceed to the position made vaeant on
the Pratt staff by the resignation of
Mr. Kottcamp.
Sunday will be Easter day and
after you have eaten all the eggs you
want you might try going to church,
if you are not a regular attendant.
$100.00 Reward,

Fishing creek, some time during the
last week, and carried away gas
lamps, carpenter tools and bedding.
Further information as to details can
be had at this office.
