STATE HIGHWAYS MAY
BECOME WIDE BOULEVARDS.
Pre-emption Surveys Filed on Several
of the Important Routes in
Centre County.
If the dream of officials in charge
of the State Highway Department
ever materializes all of the main ar-
teries of State highways throughout
Pennsylvania will some day become
wide boulevards, with grades and
curves eliminated so far as possible,
but in the meantime landowners along
the proposed routes are virtually tied
up in a quandary as to what rights
they may exercise over their own
possessions.
Several months ago the department
filed in the office of the recorder cf
Centre county blue print surveys of
pre-emption rights on the State high-
way routes between Bellefonte and
Pleasant Gap, from Pleasant Gap to
State College, and from Bellefonte to
Lock Haven by way of Nittany val-
ley. Under the law any farmer liv-
ing along the line of one of these
routes who wishes to dispose of his
farm must sell it subject to the pre-
emption rights of the Highway De-
partment; and any individual pur-
chasing a farm or plot of ground and
putting thereon any improvements in
the way of buildings, etc., cannot re-
cover damage for same if they are
compelled to remove them in the fu-
ture; and further, will have to remove
them at their own expense whenever
the department sees fit to exercise its
right of pre-emption.
As laid out in the blue print sur-
vey the road between Bellefonte and
Pleasant Gap will be of various
widths. In some places it will be 80
feet, other places 100 and on several
stretches 120 feet in width. The lat-
ter width will prevail at Pleasant Gap
and for some distance this side of it.
While the new survey follows the
general contour of the present high-
way all of the curves are eliminated
where it is possible to do so. Logan’s
branch will be crossed and re-crossed
by several bridges. Out at the T. E,
Jodon farm the survey cuts about one-
third way into the meadow to the
west of the present road, At the
Imperial oil station and the Peter’s
junk yard the line runs almost up to
the front of the building.
Out at Axe Mann the survey
swings to the south, cuts into the hill
and will take three or more of the
row of houses and the church and
continuing in a wide circle cuts right
through the centre of the big spring
at the Garman property. Coming
closer to Bellefonte the survey cuts
in west of the old toll house, runs
through the rear portion of the old
slag pile and comes onto the present
road right in front of the Titan Metal
Co. office. ;
As an instance of what the pre-
emption rights mean Robert F. Hun-
ter, in looking for a location for the
gas plant of the Central Pennsylva-
nia Gas company, had practically de-
cided on the D. M. Kline meadow, but
after investigating the highway’s pre-
emption surveys was compelled to
abandon that site. Another location
was also abandoned because of the
same reason, and now it looks as if
the plant may be located on the tri-
angular piece of ground lying just
west of the railroad and south of the
road leading up over Rishell’s hill.
| The new survey provides for a road
+ 80 to 100 feet in width between Pleas-
|ant Gap and State College, the prin-
. cipal change being the cut-off across
| the hill from the Houserville road to
|the Klinger farm, leaving Lemont
| high and dry to the south of the main
| highway. Between Bellefonte and
| Lock Haven 80 feet is to be the pre-
( vailing width, while a few of the
worst curves will be eliminated.
Of course, it will probably be years

April 5th it was announced that
there were still some ten or fifteen

additional ones have been summoned

line of exhibits to offer which it is
believed will be quite impressive.
Just how many witnesses the Penn-

of argument will be against granting
the petitions, has not been divulged.
Whatever it may be, however, the
Bellefonte Central will be entitled to
present testimony in rebuttal.

Interesting Facts About the Beauty
Contest in Academy Minstrels.
Headmaster James R. Hughes, of
the Bellefonte Academy, makes the
interesting and significant announce-
ment that all the young ladies from
Philipsburg, Pleasant Gap, Boalsburg,
Bellefonte and other places in Cen-
tre county, who will participate in the
beauty contest in connection with the
Academy minstrels, on the evening of
Thursday, May 24th, are doing so, not |
on any grounds of conceit or pre-
sumption on their part, but merely
because they have been invited and
urged by the Academy management
to aid, as far as possible, in making
this novel feature of the minstrels a
real success. The Academy manage-
ment appreciates fully their willing-
ness to participate.
It has been decided that these con-
testants will not appear in the big
parade on Thursday afternoon, They
will be kept in the background and
their names will not be revealed until
during the second part of the min-
strel performance, when the contest
will take place. This interesting part
of the show will be kept a mystery
until the time for the contest comes.
Impartial judges from Lock Haven,
who are not acquainted with the con-
testants, will. select the three fortu-
nate winners of the first prize of $25,-
00, the second prize of $15.00, the
third prize of $10.00, respectively.

Attempted Burglary Nipped in the
Bud by W. H. Garman.
About three o'clock on M onday
morning, W. H. Garman, who occu-
pies rooms over the old Schofield sad-
dlery shop, now conducted by Harry
Ward, heard a noise as if some one
were trying to force the store door.
A few seconds later there was a crash
of breaking glass and jumping out of
bed - Mr. Garman ran down the stairs
in his night clothes and caught a
young man in the act of reaching
through the hole in the broken glass,
evidently in an endeavor to unlock
the door.
When Mr. Garman asked him what
he was doing he took to his heels and
ran away, but not before the former
was able to partially identify him.
In runniug he lost his cap and on the
cap was a fisherman’s license button.
In the button was the license, which
had been issued to Walter Hill. The
young man was arrested, on Tuesday,
by chief of police Harry Dukeman,
and was identified by Mr. Garman as
the man who attempted to break into
the Ward store.

Puts Two Plants in Operation.
Plants No. 28 and 13, at the Armor
Gap quarries of the American Lime

eration Monday night. These plants
have been idle for a year or more and

—Trout fishing is like most every-
thing else. It isn’t the man who blus-
ters around and makes the big noise
that gets the most fish. As a rule
the man who slips out quietly by him-
self and plugs away brings home the
speckled beauties. Bellefonte has both
kinds of fishermen, and one of the
quiet kind ic Joseph Thal. While he
has not made much fuss about it he
has landed just six dozen trout dur-
ing the first month of the season.
One of the six dozen measured eight
inches and all the others ten and ov-
er, while the biggest one was a lit-
tle better than seventeen inches in
length.

THE HOSPITAL DRIVE IS
OFF TO A GOOD START.
The second annual membership and
contribution drive of the Centre coun-
ty hospital got off with a flying start.
Last Saturday, May 12th. The first
day, found the many solicitors en-
thusiastically busy and rolling up re-
sults. Telephone reports to drive ex-
ecutive John S. Sommerville, from
| district captains for the first two
days, were very gratifying both as to
response of the public and activities
of the workers. State College cap-
tain Lederer was highly pleased with
first results. Miss Blanchard and her
ward lieutenants in Bellefonte report-
ed exceptional results. The manage-
ment of the drive were also gratified
to find the generous contributions of
the local industries and business
houses. All in all the drive has the
appearance of a big success.
As a result of the publication by
the board of the hospital of the an-
nual report of the financial activities,
expenditures and the showing of serv-
ices rendered, the solicitors find the
public very much better informed as
to the working of their hospital. Par-
ticular attention is called to the ex-
ceptional showing in this report of
the cost per patient per day of $4.08,
which is the lowest in the State for
hospitals of this size or larger.
One of the very essential necessi-
| ties of the hospital, which can no
longer be delayed, is securing a new
ambulance, better named in this mod-
ern day, “invalid car.” The Ford am-
bulance now in use has been in service
many years. It answered its purpose
when originally given to the hospital
through the generous and untiring
work of the Women's Auxiliary, but
it has become worn out in the service
lof the patients. To serve the com-
‘munity of Centre county properly, a
‘car especially fitted to convey the
sick to the hospital is an absolute
| necessity. An additional use of an
“invalid car” is to convey convales-
| cent patients to their homes and take
i convalescent children patients out for
ian airing. A group of generous hos-
| pital friends are going to see to it
| that the “invalid car” is a reality.
spirit of the management, will pre-
sent to the drive the proceeds of two
evening moving picture shows. Mon-
day and Tuesday, May 21st and 22nd,
will be hospital benefit shows at the
Ritz. Especially for this showing
Mr. Richelieu has ordered in the Mary
Pickford production, “Thru the Back
Door.” Load up the car, take a par-
ty, go to the Ritz Monday and Tues-
day, see a good movie and help the
hospital.
Any out of the county friends of
the hospital, or any in the county who
may have been overlooked by the
solicitors and want to be numbered
among the members of the hospital,
may mail their subscription to the
secretary of the board, Ralph Mal-
lory, Bellefonte. A membership card
j acknowledgment will be forwarded.
Three People Have Narrow Escape
When Train Wrecks Auto.
|
! Rev. Harry A. Hartman, Reformed
minister of Hublersburg; Mrs. Ellen
E. Moyer, his housekeeper, and
George Spangler, 11-year-old Hub-
.lersburg boy, had a miraculous es-
i cape from being killed, last Thursday
| afternoon, when the automobile in
| which they were riding was hit by the
| Lehigh Express west, on the crossing
at Mt. Eagle.
Mrs. Moyer had beeen at her home
iat Mt. Eagle and Rev, Hartman had
| driven over to get her, taking the
Spangler boy along for the ride. Af-
ter Mrs.
in the car they decided to drive down
| Bald Eagle valley to Lock Haven.
Just how Rev. Hartman overlooked
the fact that the Lehigh Express
! was due 1s not known but he failed to
‘see the train until he was too close
to the railroad to stop. There was
‘a deep ditch on both sides of the road
‘and had he turned either to the right
or left the ear would have been
| ditched and all thrown onto the rail-
(road track right in front of the on-
| coming train.
The only thing he could think of st
‘the time was to try and beat the
train over the crossing. - In this he
failed as the locomotive hit the rear
end of the car and the three occu-
pants were all thrown out, but for-
tunately clear of the track. The train
was stopped as quickly as possible
and the three of them picked up,
brought to Bellefonte and taken to
the Centre County hospital,
Rev. Hartman’s injuries consisted
of cuts and abrasions on the head.
The Spangler boy was cut and bruised
on the head and face but no bones
broken, while Mrs. Moyer, who is 68
years old, suffered a broken left leg
and numerous bruises. The pastor
and the boy were able to leave the
hospital this week, but Mrs. Moyer
will be there until she recovers.
