farmers and truck growers being
lined up in front of the court house
on Wednesday morning. This was
Just about one-third the number who
attended market during the height of
the summer season. And strange as
it may seem, they came to Bellefonte
from all parts of Pennsvalley and
lower ‘Nittany and Bald Eagle val-
leys. And the reason was that they
got better prices for produce here
than they could get anywhere else.
Mrs. Daisy B. Henderson and
Mrs. Alberta M. Krader were host-
esses at a six o'clock dinner to the
members of the High school faculty,
at the Brockerhoff house on Monday
evening. The table was attractively
dressed in the school colors—red and
white, and the name cards designed
and executed by Miss Margaret Bus-
«er, of Altoona, added an unusual note
of originality. Besides the entire
teaching corps of the High school
others present were, Mr. and Mrs.
Arthur H. Sloop, Mrs. Harry C. Men-
old and son, Harry Jr. .
Last Friday morning a Holmes
moving van, loaded with furniture,
‘Was on its way from Clearfield to
State College. Just as it reached the
parking space on south Water stre=t,
Bellefonte, the driver discovered that
his load was on fire, Pulling into the
parking space the men with the van
made quick work in unloading the
furniture. In the meantime the fire
companies had been summoned and
what little fire there was was quick-
ly extinguished with chemicals. How
the fire originated is not definitely
known, but the furniture, somewhat
damaged, was finally delivered at
State College.

intention of missing her right of

morning about six o'clock policeman
Thomas Howley discovered her sit-

street, not far from the Undine fire
house. Thinking it possible that she
might be sick he accosted her and ask-
ed if anything was wrong. “Oh, no,
she replied; I'm just waiting for the
polls td open so I can vote.” Police-
man Howley told the woman that she
was just one month too early, as the
election was not until November.
The associated business men of
Bellefonte met in the court house
Wednesday evening and after trans-
action of the routine business devot-
ed an hour to discussion of the pro-
‘posal to open a community loan ser-
‘vice in Bellefonte, Mr. Joseph Si-
‘mons, secretary of the Lock Haven
‘institution, was present and gave a
‘very illuminative talk on the service
such an enterprise renders the mer-
chants of a community. It is not a
bank of deposit. Merely a bank for
loaning amounts up to $300, to those
who have bothersome small obliga-
tions that they want to pay off. The
process is practically this: You owe
the doctor, the butcher, the grocer,
ete. sundry amounts and want to as-
semble them into one account that you
«can pay on weekly. You get your
creditors to endorse your note for the
amounts due them then go to the loan
bank with the notes. It discounts
them, pays the creditors off and you
pay the loan back on a 10 per cent.
interest basis in weekly or monthly
installments. The as$ociation voted
to give $100 to the Y. M. C. A. for
each of the years 1927 and 1928,

i BOTH FIRE COMPANIES
| WANT MORE FIRE HOSE.
|
Fire Marshall Bower Explained the
Need to Borough Council
Monday Evening.
Fire marshall John J. Bower ap-
peared before borough council, on
Monday evening, and explained to
. that body just why both fire compa-
i nies should have an additional supply
“of fire hose. The last hose purchased
by the borough was in 1923, and the’
hose now in use dates back to 1921.
Some of it is showing the effects of
its age as well as wear and is liable
to go to pieces any time under heavy
pressure. Mr. Bower cited the con-
dition on Monday, September 24th,
when the companies responded ‘o
; three alarms and were almost at the
end of their hose. The matter was
« referred to the Fire and Police com-
mittee for investigation and report.
{ Mr. Bower further stated that in
communication with the Auditor Gen-
eral he has secured exemption certifi-
cates from the payment of three cents
gas tax by the borough, both on its fire
apparatus and the borough truck,
which will mean a saving of from five
i to six dollars a month.
Only six councilmen were present
at the meeting, and as one of the ab-
sentees was president Walker Mr.
Emerick was chosen to preside.
The Street committee reported re-
pairs on various streets, putting them
in shape for winter, and the collec.
tion of $30 for a sewer permit.
The Water committee reported the
six inch line completed on west Lamb
and Thomas streets ready to make
connection at the Sheffield Farms
company milk plant. The committee
also reported the collection of $240
on the 1927 water duplicate and $17.00
for the repair of a meter. It was
further recommended that the water
rate for the current year shall be the
same as for last year, ninety per
cent. of the schedule.
The Fire and Police committee
again made complaint about the West
Penn Power company paying no at-
tention to notices of lights being out.
Mr. Emerick stated that the police
should make a written return to coun-
cil of every light out and the length
of time, and the loss of service be
deducted from the company’s bill each
month.
Mr. Reynolds stated that quite a
number of automobilists, mostly
Bellefonters, are not regarding the
“No U Turn” sign on the traffic
signal at the intersection of Alle-
gheny and Linn streets, and claimed
that he had seen the police not far
away when the turns were made and
they never said a word. The Fire and
Police committee were instructed to
confer with the burgess regarding a
more definite understanding as to the
duties of the police and then see that
they do the work. Mr. Emerick
stated that the streets of the borough
ought to be posted with the same kind
of signs used on the State highwavs
| then if automobilists did not regard
| them arrest them and make them pay
{a fine. He suggested that the Fire
‘and Police committee also consider
| this matter until the next meeting of
council.
Mr. Reynolds, of the Village Im-
! provement committee, reported that
| some person has started the construc-
| tion of a garage on Reservoir hill
| without securing a permit or submit-
| ting plans to council and wanted to
know what to do about it. He was in-
| structed to consult the borough solic-
(itor and also inspect the location of
| the garage and plans and if they do
not meet the borough requirements
make the man change them.
The Finance committee reported a
balance in the hands of the borough
treasurer of $553.27. Renewal was
j requested of notes totaling $9630 and
new notes for $2500 were authorized
to meet current bills. The committee
also reported receipt of a bill for
$669.56 from the Auditor General for
State tax on borough indebtedness.
The bill was referred to the borough
solicitor to check up on its accuracy.
Mr. Cobb brought up the matter of
insurance on the Gamble mill. When
the borough made a bid for the prop-
erty two months ago they took out a
binder on the old policy for thirty
days, at a cost of $275, then had it
extended for another thirty days. Mr.
Cobb stated that the extension ex-
pired on October 3rd and it is a
costly matter paying for extensions.
But inasmuch as the borough has not
vet obtained title to the property, be-
cause the sale has never been con-
firmed, it is impossible to place a pol-
icy on the building for a year. The
matter was finally referred to the
committee and borough solicitor with
Power, .
The Water committee reported that
school boys, some of them Higl. school
students, had broken fully fifty panes
of glass in the mill by throwing
stones through them, and that they
had broken into the mill and did oth-
er damage. Most of the broken glass
has been replaced and an appeal is to
be made to supervising principal A,
H. Sloop to caution the boys against
doing further damage. The news-
papers were also requested to warn
the boys that any further acts of van-
dalism will result in their prompt ar-
rest and punishment.
Mr. Cobb stated that he had con-
sulted the borough solicitor regard-
ing a building code and a zoning or-
dinance required by the Underwriters
Association as one of the necessities
towards securing a reduction in in-
surance rates, and the solicitor is of
| the opinion that council should indi-
cate the kind of an ordinance desired
and he will then draw it. The com-
mittee was instructed to work out a
form and report same to council at
the next meeting.
The Water committee was instruct-
ed to have a thorough inspection
made of all fire hydrants before cold
weather sets in.
Bills totaling $2600 were approved
for payment, after which council ad-
journed.
COMMON PLEAS CASES
TRIED THIS WEEK.
Court convened on Monday morn-
ing at ten o’clock, and the first case
was that of Viola Reed, who had
brought a prosecution and failed te
obey the subpoena to appear before
the grand jury, giving no reason
therefore. She was sentenced for
contempt of court to pay the costs.
The first case to be taken up was
that of Andrew Thal and Bertha
Thal, his wife, vs. J. V. Foster, be-
ing an action in trespass. This case
grows out of an automobile collision
between the plaintiff and the defend-
ant on the curve on State highway
north of Potters Mills on June 15,
1924. This cage was tried before and
a new trial granted. The verdict was
in favor of the plaintiff, Andrew
Thal, for $450, and in favor of Ber-
tha Thal for $50.
Commonwealth ex. Rel. Orvis M.
Fetzer vs. Joseph Nyman, quo war-
ranto. This case is from Curtin
township. From the testimony it ap-
pears that John A. Mann, the regular
tax collector by reason of illness re-
signed his office in 1926. Orvis M.
Fetzer was appointed collector for
Curtin township by the county com-
missioners in August, 1926, and sub-
sequently qualified but no bond was
filed with the school board until af-
ter fifteen days from his appoint-
ment. The school board on Septem-
ber 20, 1926, appointed the defend-
ant as collector of school taxes for
the year 1926 and both persons col-
lected taxes. The case was tried oun
Tuesday and at the close of the tes-
timony the court directed a verdict
in favor of the plaintiff and the de-
fendant made a motion for a judz-
ment notwithstanding the verdict,
which now raises the whole issue
a question of law
by the Court.

The case went to trial on Wednesday
morning.
The jury was out for about an hour
when it came into court with the an-
nouncement that it couldn’t agree.
Judge Fleming sent it back, however,
and four hours later it returned with
a verdict for Gray for the face of the
note with interest, which will aggre-

Col. Lindbergh Reported Coming to
Bellefonte on October 21st.
The Charles R. Rowan post, Amer-
ican Legion, of Altoona, is endeavor-
ing to secure Col. Lindbergh as an
attraction at the dedication of its new
home on October 20th. The Colonel,
however, is not certain he can get
there, according to the Altoona Tri-
bune of yesterday, which gives as the
reason because he is scheduled to be
in Bellefonte the following day. The
Tribune says:
Lindbergh, in his communications,
said he will make every effort to be
here for the dedication but explained
that he is to fly the first non-stop mail
plane from Bellefonte to Montreal on
Sunday, October 21. He said that
if it is impossible for him to get here
on the 20th, he will fly to McKeesport
on come from there to Altoona oy
