WOMAN WELFARE OFFICER.
Advocates Breaking Up Loafing on |
Street by Children and Young |
Girls. |
Burgess Hard P. Harris appeared
before borough council, at its regular
meeting on Monday evening, and ad- |
vocated the employment of a woman
welfare officer whose duty it would be
to see that the curfew law of the town
is more strictly enforced. The bur-,
gess stated that the children have be- |
officers that they have no regard for '
the curfew. And in addition to that
there is entirely too much loafing on
the streets by girls of tender age, and |
even some who are old enough to
know better, and he advocated drastic
measures in an effort to break up the
practice. It was for this work he |
recommended the employment of a
woman welfare officer. Several mem- |
bers of council were of the opinion
that to do the work thoroughly would |
be a man’s size job, but the burgess
stated that the woman he has in mind |
would be amply able to do the work,
The advisability of employing such an
officer was referred to the burgess
and Fire and Police committee for
further consideration and report at
next meeting.
The burgess also reported to coun-
cil that a movement had been started
for the purpose of putting on a “boy’s
week” program in Bellefonte, and in-
quired the attitude of council in re-
gard to the matter. Several members
of council suggested that it might be
a good thing to give the boys an op-
portunity to show what they could do
for a day, but did not favor giving |
them any absolute power.
President Walker called attention
of the burgess and council to the con-
tinued parking of cars on the streets |
during the night, and expressed the
thought that something ought to be
done about it. The burgess thought
$0, too, but was not able to recom-
mend a satisfactory solution. Mr. '
Emerick was of the opinion that!
Bellefonte is too small a town in
which to enforce a rule of no all night
parking of cars, and no action was
taken.
Henry S. Linn was present to make
complaint about the sewage and
i
i
|
drainage from the Masonic temple
flooding the cellar of their home, and
the matter was referred to the bor-
ough manager and Street commit-
tee.
A communication was received from
the Department of Labor and Indus-
try condemning the flues in the boiler !
of the borough’s road roller and for- |
bidding its use until they are fixed. |
The matter was referred to the bor- |
ough manager and Street committee. |
The Street committee reported dig- |
ging the ditch for the extension of
the sewer on Logan and Burnside :
streets and that Joseph Hazel had
‘ment along the east
paid the.balance of his volunteer offer
for the extension of the sewer, $10.00, '
making $30.00 in all. {
The Water committee reported the |
collection of $106.75 on the 1925
water tax and $593.25 on the 1926
duplicate. :
The Finance committee recom- |
mended that the borough treasurer |
be empowered to borrow $2,000 to |
meet current bills, and same was au-
thorized. 3
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported that two street lights have
been out for almost a week, and not-
withstanding the fact that the Key-
stone Power corporation had been
notified they had not yet been attend-
ed to. The secretary was instructed
to call superintendent Musser’s at-
tention to the matter. :
Charles Schad’s request for a pave-
side of north
Allegheny street, from Curtin street
north to his properties, was again
brought up and the Street committee
was instructed to make an inspection
and recommendation as provided by
the ordinance, and property owners
will then be notified to build the pave-
ment. :
Mr. Brouse, of the Street commit-
tee, stated that consideration should
be given the matter of oiling streets,
and the committee was instructed to
make an inspection of the streets and |
present at the next meeting of council
a list of streets to be oiled and the
amount of oil required.
Bills were approved to the amount
of $1730.93 after which council ad-
journed.

Harold D. Foster, recently appoint-
ed captain of Troop A, 52nd machine
gun squadron (better known as Boal

from fifteen hundred to two thousand
birds. If the birds reach maturity in
time a large part of them will be re-
leased in time for the hunting. season

Baby Harry Menold Badly Secalded.
Harry Menold, twenty months old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Menold,
who occupy an apartment in the
Beatty block, was badly scalded on
the neck and back, last Friday after-
noon, by the accidental upsetting of
a kettle of boiling water. The child
was at once taken to the Centre
County hospital where everything
possible has been done for its relief.
The Menolds recently installed an
electric range and as it seemed a little
low blocks were placed under the
legs. In playing about the range, on
Friday afternoon, the child pulled one
of the blocks from under a leg of the
range with the result that it tilted
and the kettle of hot water upset, a
portion of it going over the child’s
back and the back of its neck, with a
little of it on its face.
