Every member of borough council with the exception of Mr. Brouse, of the West ward, was present at the regular session on Monday evening. The secretary presented another com- munication from Harrisburg asking what council has done in the matter of $32.00 of fines collected from automo- bilists for violation of the traffic laws by former burgess Walker and burgess Harris and turned over to the borough. Harrisburg wants the money but the borough solicitor has advised with- holding payment until a test case now in the courts has been decided. The Street committee reported re- pairing south Thomas street and the collection of ten dollars for a sewer permit. The committee further re- ported that the residents of east Burn- side street are anxious to have the sewer extension requested constructed at once. This brought forth a pro- longed discussion on costs, sewer tap charges, etc., the matter finally being referred to the committee with power so far as the sewer extension is con- cerned and also with instructions to work out a more equitable system of costs for further extensions, taps, ete. The Water committee reported the collection of $86.25 on the 1925 water duplicate; $513.75 on the 1926; $62.50 from the G. F. Musser Co., rent for March, and $12.50 in miscellaneous items. 5 The Finance committee asked for the renewal of notes aggregating $8.- 700 and a new note for $1500, which were authorized. The Fire and Police committee re- ported a refund from the Bell Tele- phone company of $2.26, and that the big stack at the old steam heating plant had been blown down with dyna- mite cn Monday evening. The commit- tee also suggested that several deep foundations and pits should be fenced in. The matter was referred to the committee and burgess Harris. The Finance committee reported that according to the borough solicitor council could not do otherwise than grant the request of the Richelieu theatre for a rebate on 1926 taxes, ow- ing to the fact that the county commissioners had reduced the valua- tion on the theatre, and the committee recommended that the rebate be allow- ed. It was so ordered. Regarding the movement to secure a reduction of insurance rates in Belle- fonte Mr. Emerick stated that he had personally interviewed thirty-four business men who signified their will- ingness to contribute one year’s sav- ing in insurance towards the expense of adding the additional fire fighting equipment necessary to secure the reduction, and that he intended taking the matter up at the regular meeting of the Business Men’s association on Tuesday evening. He suggested, how- ever, that the secretary communicate with the Underwriter’s Association and get their statement in writing that the reduction will be made if council meets all the requirements specified. At this stage in the proceedings Robert F. Hunter and Bent L. Weaver made their appearance as members of a committee appointed by the Kiwanis club to cooperate with council in plac- ing markers in the important streets of the town. They volunteered all the assistance desired so far as coopera- tion is concerned but nothing financial- ly. President Walker informed the gentlemen that the question of mark- ers is now in the hands of councilman Reynolds and they could confer with him. Bills totaling $2459.97 were approv- ed for payment after which council adjourned. Old Steam Heating Plant Stack Blewn Down with Dynamite. The last monument to the old steam heating plant, the big ninety-six foot brick stack, was blown down with dynamite, on Monday afternoon, and now all that remains of that one time general utility are several deep holes in the ground, thousands of very good : brick and a few carloads of debris. The blowing down of the stack has been under consideration for some time, as it has been deemed a menace to school children and general traffic. The job was undertaken, on Monday, by Nathan Kofman. He put in two shots of two sticks of dynamite each, in the south and east sides of the stack, about nine feet from the ground, but the only damage they did was to blow holes in the stack. They then attempted to pull it down with block and tackle, but the steel rope broke without budging it. i Then along came William Thomp- son, one of the regular force of blast- ing men at the American Lime and Stone company, and he placed a double charge of dynamite, six sticks in all, at the foundation of the stack. When they were put off the big pile of brick seemed to rise in the air and hang there for an instant, then it crumbled to earth, then almost where it stood. The good brick will, of course, be reclaimed and sold to any one desiring them. Bloom—Buck.—Charles S. Bloom, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bloom, of Pine Hall, and Miss Frances M. Buck, of Warriorsmark, were married at the Lutheraan parsonage, at Pine Grove Mills, at three o’clock on Wednesday afternoon, by the pastor, Rev. J. S. English. Both young people are well known in the western end of the coun- ty and have many friends who wish for them a long and happy wedded life. ary; menager. : Just where they will reside has not yet been announced. . Airmail Contract Awarded to the Na- tional Air Transport, Inc. The Postoffice Department has an- nounced that the contract for carrying the airmail on the eastern section of the transcontinental route, between New York and Chicago, has been awarded to the National Air Trans- port, Inc., of Chicago, at its bid of $1.24 a pound. This is the same com- pany that has the contract for carry- ing the airmail from Chicago to Dal- las, Texas. The bid of the North American Airways was one cent below that of the National Air Transport, but be- cause of the fact that government air- mail pilots and employees were alleg- ed to have agreed to take $100,000 in stock in the company the bid was not awarded to them, it being contend- ed that it was against the law for government employees to be financial- ly interested in any contract work for the government. The protest against awarding the bid to the North American Airways came from Paul Henderson, now gen- eral manager of the National Air Transport, Inc., but former second as- sistant postmaster general. Charles Evan Hughes, former Supreme court justice, maintained that the pilots were within their legal rights in ask- ing to take stock in the company which bid for the airmail contract, but the Postoffice Department evident- ly desired to keep clear of all con- troversy. The contract will go into effect un July first, and it is quite possible that | the status of the Bellefonte landing | field and the personnel of employees i will be defined in the near future. “Y’s Krax” from the Bellefonte Y.

Howard Dry’s Restaurant Robbed Again, The quick lunch restaurant of How- ard Dry, located in the basement room of the Bush Aracade, on south Water street, was robbed again early last Friday morning, according to Mr. Dry. The robbery took place between three and four o’clock, the man who did the trick breaking a pane of glass in the door through which he was able to reach and unfasten the lock.

That pestiferous little animal, the lowly skunk, is not only strong on the scent, but his pelt is now a staple line with fur dealers and trappers generally reap a nice little harvest from him, counting the bounty and pelt together. And according to the records of Jeremiah Zettle, of Spring Mills, leading raw fur dealer in Cen- tre county, his pelt is not only increas- ing in popularity and value but the animal is also increasing in numbers. Mr. Zettle’s business as a fur buyer is not confined to Centre county but the bulk of his product is captured in Centre county mountains. This year he handled 4764 skunk pelts which is 715 more than he was able to buy last year. In fact his entire line of pelts showed a marked increase over last year, while the value exceeded that of the 1925 season by over five thousand dollars. All this bears out the statement of game protector Thomas A. Mosier, who said that last winter was one of the best for furs in a number of years. He estimated the number of foxes captured in the county at clcse to five hundred. Among individual catches recorded are those of J. A. Gummo, 31 foxes, 20 skunks and 4 minks; Guy Rossman, 28 foxes, 18 skunks, 6 wea- sels; William Gummo, 30 skunks and 4 minks; Andy Laird, 20 foxes; M. C. Wieland, 10 skunks, all captured in Ferguson township. Down Bald Ea- gle valley Walter Davy, of Blanchard, captured 3 wild cats, 11 gray foxes and 4 weasels. Outside of bear skins the pelt of the mink is the most valuable of all, being worth about ten dollars in the raw, which, considering its size makes it almost equal with seal. The next in value is the red fox, which this vear sold at an average price of a little more than nine dollars. Mr. Zettle’s complete list for the season, with their valuation, is as fol- lows: 4701 Skunks ........
