COUNCIL AWARDS CONTRACTS
FOR SEWER AND WATER PIPES.
Other Business Disposed of at Regu-
lar Meeting Monday Evening.
Only five members were present a:
the regular meeting of borough coun-
cil, on Monday evening, though Mr.
Mignot made his appearance near the
close of the session. In the absence
of John S. Walker, president of coun-
cil, W. J. Emerick was chosen to pre-
side.
The Benner brothers, of Reservoir
hill, presented a petition for a sewer
extension in that locality, there being
eleven signers on the petition. The
matter was referred to the Street
committee. ’ ;
Report was made of a rather dan-
gerous condition along an embank-
ment on south Potter street, which
can be overcome by the construction
of several hundred feet of cable fenc-
‘ing. The matter was referred to the
Street committee.
Scretary Kelly reported that a new
building is being erected on south
Potter street, and a house on Logan
street by parties who have not se-
cured permits. The matter was re-
ferred to the Town Improvement com-
mittee for investigation.
A request was received from Dr.
J. L. Seibert, county medical officer,
for the use of the rooms in the public
building in which to hold the next
chest clinic, on August 1st. These
have heretofore been held in Petrikin
hall but the doctor stated that the
noise of the constant traffic on the
street interfered with the work of
the examiners. Council signified its
willingness to give the use of the
rooms.
The Street committee reported that
the oiling of streets had been com-
pleted and other repairs made during
th past month. The committee also
reported receiving five bids for the
1500 feet of six-inch sewer pipe need-
ed to put down necessary sewer ex-
tensions. The bids were as follows:
Caldwell & Son, 37% cents; A. E.
Schad, 343; C. F. Tate, 35; Walter
Eberhart, 34, and the Potter-Hoy
Hardware company, 30 cents. The
latter being the lowest bidder was
awarded the contract, which will
amount to $450.00.
The Water committee reported
some needed repairs made and the col-
lection of $30.90 on the 1926 dupli-
cate, $890.10 on the 1927, $5.00 from
the Gentry Bros. show and miscella-
neous collections totaling $37.50. The
committee also reported receiving
four bids for 650 feet of four-inch
water pipe needed for the north Al-
legheny street extension. The bids
were A. E. Schad, 58 cents a foot;
McWane Cast Iron Pipe Co., 53%; the
Potter-Hoy Hardware Co., two bids,
one for 64 cents and one for 68, and
C. T. Tate, 61% cents. The committee
recommended awarding the contract
‘to the McWane Cast Iron Pipe Co.,
as it was the lowest bidder. At its
bid the pipe will cost $347.75.
The Finance committee reported a
balance in the hands of the borough
treasurer of $463.15. The committee
totaling $21,100. It being necessary
to raise money to meet current bills
the chairman of the committee stat-
ed that that the Centre County hos-
pital board has two small endow-
ment funds, one for $1500 and one for
$600, which they will give to the bor-
ough for five per cent interest rate,
and council authorized acceptance of
the funds and also an additional note
for $4500.
Mr. Mignot, who made his appea=-
ance at this stage in the proceedings,
reported for the Sanitary committee
that an investigation had been made
of the complaint relative to stagnant
water in the gutter near the Undine
fire company building, and discovered
that the gutter has been washed out
by surface water and should be re-
paired. It was referred to the Street
committee.
Mr. Mignot also stated that he had
received complaints about the condi-
tion of outside toilets on east Lamb
street. The committee was instruct-
ed to investigate. :
Harry A. Rossman appeared before
council to find out what had been done
regarding his request for permission
to erect a gas pump in front of his
garage, on the corner of Allegheny
and Howard streets. He was in-
formed that no definite action had
yet been taken and with three mem-
bers absent the matter was held over
until the next meeting of council.
Bills totaling $6808.87 were ap-
proved for payment after which coun-
cil adjourned.
In Camp with the Penn State Engi-
neering Students.
Harold G. Hoag, of Bellefonte, is
spending the summer at the Pennsyl-
vania State College sophomore civil
engineering camp at Bodines, Lycom-
ing county. There are fifty engineer-
ing and eleven forestry students at
the camp which will continue until
early August. The camp provides
special engineering training and each
student must spend more than 300
hours in practical surveying and oth-
er practices under the direction of
eight civil engineering professors
from the college faculty staff. The
location of the camp is ideal for the
purpose and the site is used by the
college each year. It is 25 miles
north of Williamsport in the Alleghe-
nies, and all manner of civil engineer-
ing problems are tackled by the stu-
dents.

Bankrupt Sale of the Harris Block JOHN SAYLOR MET DEATH
Brought $35,650.
J. Clyde Jodon bought the Harris ,
block, occupied by the Potter-Hoy |
Hardware company, at the trustees |
sale in bankruptcy, on Monday after- |
noon, at his bid of $35,650. The prin-
cipal bidder against him was Oscar
Harm, but it was not divulged wheth- |
er he was bidding for himself or was
representing someone else.
The sale of the building was made
on the order of the Supreme court,
which ruled that the building was a
portion of the assets of the estate of
Mary C. Harris, hence must be sold
for the benefit of the creditors of the
Centre County Banking company.
The terms of the sale required the
purchaser to pay ten per cent of the
purchase price on the day of sale and
the balance when the deed is executed
and delivered. Ivan Walker, trustee
in charge of the sale, stated that he
hoped to have the deed ready for de-
livery in the near future.
The sale of the Harris block will
mean another dividend to the Credi-
tors of the Centre County Banking
company, probably eight per cent.
RUNKLE SALE TOTALLED $25,004.50.
The bankrupt sale of W. G. Runkle
holdings, last Friday, totalled $25,
094.50. His office furniture was pur-
chased by S. D. Gettig Esq., presum-
ably for Mr. Runkle. About a dozen
of his thirty-one tracts of land put up
for sale were bid in by Horace Kauf-
man, who was also acting for Mr.
Runkle, but the balance of the real
estate all went to legitimate purchas-
ers.
In his statement of outstanding ob-
ligations at the time he confessed to
voluntary brankruptcy, Mr. Runkle
placed his liabilities at approximately
forty thousand dollars. The trustee
acting in the case, however, has found
one or more errors which reduces the
obligations and it is probable they
will not exceed $37,000 or $38,000. If:
such should prove to be the case the
creditors will probably receive any-
where from fifty to sixty cents on the
dollar of their claims.

INSTANTLY, LAST FRIDAY.
Killed by Falling Stone in Mine of
American Lime and Stone Co.
~ John Saylor, veteran of the World
war and during the past four years a
block driller in the underground mine
of the American Lime & Stone com-
pany, was instantly killed about 9.30
o'clock, last Saturday morning, when
a slab of stone fell from the roof of
the mine hitting him on the head.
Saylor was working on the second
level at the time of the accident and
no one was near him at the time. The
noise made by the falling rock at-
tracted the attention of workmen on
the same level and hurrying to where
Saylor had been working found his
lifeless body. The rear portion of his
head had been crushed and the head
partly severed from the body. The
stone evidently fell without warning
so that he had no time to make an
attempt to escape. Saylor had worked
for the company about five years,
four of which were spent in the mine.
He was a son of Peter and Mary
Layor Saylor and was born in Belle-
fonte on July 5th, 1889, hence was
not quite thirty-nine years old. His
entire life was spent here. He was
a laborer by occupation and an in-
dustrious and capable young man.
During the World war he served in
France having gone from Bellefonte
as a member of Troop L. He was a
member of the Catholic church, the
Brooks-Doll post of the American Le-
gion and the Logan Fire company. He
was unmarried but is survived by his
parents and the following brothers
and sisters: Miss Mary, and Mrs.
Harry E. Dunlap, of Bellefonte; Mrs.
Elmer Bertschy, of Wheeling, W. Va.;
Andrew, of Bellefonte; Philip and
! Fred, at home.
Funeral services were held in the
Catholic church at 10 o’clock Tues-
day morning, by Rev. Father Downes,
burial being made in the Catholic
cemetery. ;
Lewisburg Train Schedule to be
Changed Monday, June 25th.
The much discussed change in the
operation of trains on the Lewisburg
branch of the Pennsylvania railroad
will be put into effect next Monday,
June 25th. Effective that date there
will be no early morning train leaving
Bellefonte for Sunbury. The first
train over the road will be the one
leaving Sunbury and arriving in
Bellefonte at 9.10. ‘Returning it will
leave Bellefonte at 10 o’clock and ar-
rive in Sunbury on or about 12.40.
The afternoon train will leave Sun-
bury at 1.20 and arrive in Bellefonte
shortly after four o’clock. Returning
it will leave Bellefonte for Sunbury
at 5.25 p. m.
This change will naturally require
both train crews to lay over in Sun-
bury, and will necessitate Harry Page
and family leaving their home on
Thomas street and locating in Sun-
bury. The change will also affect the
train crews financially. Under the
present schedule they are allowed two
days’ pay for one round trip because
of the long hours. Under the new
schedule they will be able to make
the trip with very little overtime, so
that it will cut the men’s pay almost
in half.
