BOROUGH COUNCIL
REORGANIZES FOR
THE CURRENT YEAR.
Fire Marshall Submits Good Report.
Burgess Harris Tells of Reforms
Needed.
Burgess Hard P. Harris stole a
march on other borough officials, on
Monday, by going before the retiring
burgess, W. Harrison Walker, in the
morning and taking the oath of office,
report of same being made at the
regular meeting of council on Mon-
day evening, at which every old mem-
ber was present. There were no ver-
bal communications and the only writ-
ten document was the report of the
fire marshall for the year 1925, and it
is such a creditable report that we
publish the same in full, as follows:
Bellefonte, Pa., Jan. 1, 1926.
To the Citizens, Fire and Police
Commmittee and Borough Council:
Sirs: —
I am proud to submit to you the fol-
lowing report of the fire department
of Bellefonte: :
During the year just passed the de-
partment responded to sixty alarms
of fire, namely: Number of alarms in
borough, 53; number of alarms out of
borough, 7. The alarms in the bor-
cugh were divided into three classes:
General alarms with both companies
responding, 33; still alarms, with one
company responding 16; false alarms,
4. Extinguished by chemicals, 34; ex-
tinguished by water, 9. Total value
of property involved, $235,600; total
amount of damage done, $15,825.
In arriving at the above figures only
calls in which we actually had to use
either chemicals or water to extin-
guish were computed, and does not in-
clude any out of borough calls.
After such terrible losses suffered
in 1924, and an increase of almost 14
per cent in the number of alarms last
year, I am highly pleased to state that
our losses were approximately only
6 7-10 per cent of the total amount of
property involved.
Some of the factors in keeping the
losses to such small porportions were
the efficiency and promptness of the
department, the use of chemicals, and
care in useless destruction. I also
wish to emphatically state that as a
volunteer organization we can justly
feel proud of our fire department, as
it would be almost impossible to find
a more courageous, loyal and self-
sacrificing body of men, who, even in
the dead of night or in zero weather,
respond to every call for assistance
with a willingness and promptness
that is remarkable.
I also wish to report that the
amount of good hose in service is
2800 feet, 1400 feet in possession of
the Undine company and 1400 feet in
the hands of the Logan company.
There is also a small quantity of old
hose in the department which could be
pressed into service if necessary.
We also have large quantities of
acid, soda, and bottles for recharging
our chemical tanks, enough I am sure
to last over a year.
The apparatus is in excellent con-
dition, being tested regularly, and
kept bright and clean.
Both fire houses are kept neat and
clean, and are open for inspection at
all times.
I also wish to suggest that all fire
hydrants be tested, and repairs made
where needed, as promptly as possi-
ble, as this is an important factor in
keeping down the losses.
And in conclusion I wish to thank
the members of council for their loyal
support of the department.
Wishing the citizens, council, and
members of the department a Happy
and Prosperous New Year, I am,
Sincerely yours,
ROBERT E. KLINE.
Tire Marshall
Following the reading of the report
Mr. Cunningham moved that a reso-
lution of thanks be extended the fire
marshall and members of the depart-
ment, and that a copy of the resolu-
tion be sent to each company. It was
so ordered. :
The Street committee reported
cleaning of streets and the collection
of $320.95.
The Water committee reported the
collection of $108.50 on the 1923 dupli-
cate by the borough manager and
$234.84 on the 1924 duplicate. Dur-
ing the year his collections on the
1923 duplicate totaled $2367.02, and
on the 1924 duplicate $1928.18. The
committee also presented the check
of the G. F. Musser company for $750
for the rent of the Phoenix station for
1925. Mr. Cunningham reported that
the linoleum and furniture have been
purchased for the new office in the
pumping building but has not yet been
installed.
The Finance committee reported
that the borough treasurer had paid
off notes aggregating $10,000 and had
a balance on hand on January 1, 1926,
of $11,206.44. The committee also re-
ported receipt of a check for $260
from J. Kennedy Johnston on account
of the 1921 tax duplicate. Request
was made for the renewal of notes
totaling $10,500, which was author-
ized.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported that a new boiler had been in-
stalled in the public building and that
it was much more efficient than the
old one. The committee also reported
that the wainscoting in the basement
of the building is so rotten that it
will have to be torn out and recom-
mended that the room be plastered.
Council authorized the work done. The
committee also asked for the annual
appropriations for the two fire com-
panies and Mr. Emerick made a mo-
tion that two thousand dollars be
placed in the sinking fund, both being
authorized.
There being no further business
, bills totaling $5,955,835 were approved
for payment, the minutes of the meet-
ing were read and approved and, upon
motion of Mr. Emerick the old council
"adjourned sine die.
Immediately after adjournment
burgess Hard P. Harris administered
the oath of office to W. J. Emeri¢k
and W. Frederick Reynolds, of the
North ward; Thomas Hazel, of the
South ward, and W. H. Brouse and J.
M. Cunningham, of the West ward.
The third member from the West
‘ward, John P. Eckel, was not present,
as he is away on a trip to Florida.
Burgess Harris also swore into office
C. L. Gates, borough auditor.
Mr. Harris then took the chair and
council organized by electing John S.
Walker, president, and William T.
Kelly secretary. Edward J. Gehret
was re-elected borough treasurer and
J. D. Seibert borough manager.
Burgess Harris then made his
maiden speech to council in which he
pledged his efforts to overcome the
speeding of cars within the borough
limits; advocated a one hour parking
limit in front of the court house dur-
ing business hours and the enactment
of a curfew law controlling the hours
in which children shall be permitted
to roam the streets or attend picture
shows at night unattended, suggest-
ing 8.30 o’clock as a reasonable Tour.
He also urged that now that the
spring and its surroundings have been
beautified the streams flowing through
town be kept clean and sightly. Bur-
gess Harris pledged his best efforts
in co-operation with council in making
Bellefonte a model town in which to
live.
There being no other business to
transact council adjourned.

Former Bellefonte Woman Ends Life
With Small Gun.
Mrs. Gertrude Mary McMullen, wife
of William McMullen, of near Johns-
town, took her own life the day after
Christmas by shooting herself with a
.22 calibre revolver. Her lifeless
body was found about the middle of
the afternoon by her daughter, Mrs.
William Dowdell, who lives at home.
Three shots in the head and one in
the breast told the story of her death.
Mrs. McMullen had been in ill health
for some time which was assigned as
the cause of her taking her own life.
She was a daughter of Harry and
Margaret Noll Haag and was born in
Bellefonte forty-one years ago. In
addition to her husband she is sur-
vived by a daughter and son, Mrs.
Dowdell and Kenneth, both at home.
She also leaves her parents, residing
in Bellefonte, and the following broth-
ers and sisters: Ralph, Lieb, Paul and
Sarah Haag, all of Bellefonte; Philip,
of Tyrone, and Mrs. Dollinger, of
Ashtabula, Ohio.

man had charge of the funeral ser-
vices which were held on December
29th, burial being made in the Grand-
view cemetery, Johnstown.
Judge Keller Sworn Into Office at
Noon on Monday.
When Judge Harry Keller was in-
ducted into office at twelve o'clock
noon, on Monday, he received the
flattering ovation of a crowded court
house to witness the ceremony. Judge
Dale presided and a full complement
of court officers was present. After
court crier Thomas Fleming opened
court in the customary way Judge
Dale announced that the purpose of
the gathering was to witness the in-
duction into office of his successor on
the bench as well as other county of-
ficers. He then stated that the oath
of office would be administered to
Judge-elect Keller by Recorder Lloyd
A. Stover. Both Mr. Keller and Mr.
Stover ascended the rostrum and with
everybody standing the oath was ad-
ministered.
Judge Dale then retired from the
bench and Judge Keller announced
that the prothonotary, Roy Wilkin-
son, would administer the oath to
other county officers. John G. Love
was then sworn in as District At-
torney and John Decker and Jas. P.
Condo as Jury Commissioners.
Practically every member of the
bar was present and Judge Keller
asked if there were any motions or
petitions to present.
torneys presenting any he made a
neat little speach in which he thank-
ed the people of Centre county gen-
erally for the honor conferred upon
him and asked for the cooperation of
every member of the bar in that his
term upon the bench might prove a
success.
THE COURT'S REMARKS.
Before this Court adjourns, I wish
to say a few words to my fellow mem-
bers of the Centre County Bar, officers
of the Court and friends here assem-
bled. I am deeply sensible of the
duties and responsibilities of the high
office which I have just assumed. I
am also strongly impressed with my
own shortcomings and lack of judicial
experience.
In order that my term of office may
be a successful one, I sincerely trust
and confidently expect that I may
have the cordial co-operation and
friendly aid and assistance of the offi-
cers of the Court and members of the
Bar. So far as I know, you are all
friends of mine, as I am the friend of
each one of you.
Naturally I shall make mistakes,
but I want to promise and assure each
of you, that I shall earnestly try to
give everyone a square deal, and in
all legal matters that may arise, to
act justly and impartially, so far as in
my power lies, without fear, favor, or
prejudice for or against either counsel
or litigants, whether the latter be high
or low, rich or poor.
It will be my highest ambition to
conduct such legal business as may
come before me, so that there may be
no lowering of the high standard set
by the many illustrious men who have
preceded me as Judges of the Courts
of Centre county. ;
You as members of the Bar, can
materially aid and assist me in main-
taining this high standard, by your
own attitude toward the Court, and by
your strictly fulfilling the oath which
each of you has taken as attorney, of
fidelity to the Court as well as to
your respective clients.
I also desire to express my heart-
felt appreciation of the presence here
this morning of so many sincere
friends and well-wishers, some of
whom, I know, have come a consider-
able distance, and at great personal
inconvenience, to be present on this
occasion.
I also wish to say that I sincerely
appreciate, and am deeply grateful
for these beautiful floral tokens of
your friendship and esteem.
Brief speeches of felicitation were
made by John Blanchard Esq., and
Hon. Ellis L. Orvis, after which court
was adjourned. At least two-thirds
of those present went foward and con-
gratulated Judge Keller. The Judge
was the recipient of two large and
beautiful floral offerings, one from
Bellefonte friends and the other from
Philipsburg, quite a number of res-
idents of the latter place having
motored over to see him sworn in.
sworn in.
Judge Keller goes on the bench
under the most favorable circum-
stances. He had the support of the
majority of the members of the bar
in his candiacy and there is no ran-
cor in the hearts of those who op-
posed him. He is a man of splendid
legal ability and sound judgment, and
every man who goes before him will
be sure of a fair and impartial hear-
ing. If he makes any mistakes they
will be errors of judgment and not of
the heart.
Judge Keller took possession of the
judge’s chambers in the court house
on Monday, the same having been va-
cated by ex-Judge Dale, and his first
official act was the appointment of
Miss Mauvis Furey as assistant court
stenographer.
On Wednesday afternoon he ap-
pointed the following board of road
and bridge viewers: M. Ward Flem-
ing, S. Kline Woodring, James C.
Furst, H. B. Shattuck, John A. Way,
H. H. Hewitt, J. Thompson Henry and
J. Irvin Yarnell.
Messrs. Fleming, Woodring, Shat-
tuck and Henry were re-appointments.
Mr. Furst was appointed to take the
place of John G. Love; Mr. Yarnell to
take the place of L. E. Swartz; Mr.
Hewitt to replace Hard P. Harris,
whose term had expired, and Mr. Way
to fill a vacancy on the board.
Judge Keller will make his official
court appointments of tipstaffs, ete.,
later in the week.

him. Mr. Markle is still farming near
Houserville and, with his son William,

men had to come over to look after some
business with the County Commissioners,
so the ladies just came along for the
drive. With the new road completed up
the Valley it is no trip at all, as compared
with what it once was. In fact they came
from Sandy Ridge in an hour and fifteen
minutes without any attempt to make
fast time. Mr. Angell told us that while
business in the mines over there is pick-
ing up in volnme, but that the price is not
stiffening much.

New Year Business Changes.
The Sciartino brothers, Frank,
Rosey, and Joe, have disposed of
their fruit store in the Decker build-
ing to Joe Cappernella and next week
will sail for Sicily to visit their old
home. The trip is being made because
of the death of their father who, left
considerable property, and their pres-
ence is necessary to the settlement of
the estate. Frank will take his family
with him back to the old country, and i
the trip holds forth great pleasure for |
the other two, as Joe will greet his
family the first time since he came
to this country fourteen years ago. It
is also rumored that Rosey has vis-
ions of a boyhood sweet-heart in that
far-off country that he may conclude
to bring back with him.
The three brothers came to this
country fourteen years ago, most of
which time has been spent in Belle-
fonte. For a number of years they
worked at the various lime stone in-
dustries but five years ago embarked
in the fruit business and have been
quite successful. As they figure now
their stay abroad will be for about
six months and the sale of their busi-
ness was made with the understand-
ing that when they return they can
have it back if they want it.
George Sunday, who during the past

NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. |
Work at the Hospital Progressing.
The new wing of the Centre county
hospital is slowly nearing comple-
tion. Most of the white-coat is com-
pleted on the third floor, the second
is about half done and the rough
plastering is nearly all on on the first
floor.
Several of the bath tubs are set and
some of the heating apparatus is in
place, but the cement base boards and
doors in all of the rooms are as yet
untouched. :
Even if funds were in hand to push
the work as rapidly as could be done
it is doubtful if the new part could
be gotten ready for occupancy much
before the first of March, though the
second and third floors might be com-
pleted and ready for use within a
few weeks. .
It is very gratifying to announce
that the new heating system gives
promise of entire satisfaction. The
new boiler installed in the laundry
building combines in one plant the
four separate units that formerly
were in use. It heats the hospital
and nurse’s home, supplies the hot
water for bath rooms and furnishes
steam for sterilizing. Aside from the
economy in firing only one instead of
four small boilers it has been the
means of removing a fire hazard and
dirt nuisance from under the main
hospital building.
If there is an installment due on
| your subscription to the hospital why
{not send it in at once and help facil-
itate the work of completing the ad-
dition for use?
