The Watchman has always eom- mended the work of Bellefonte’s vol- unteer firemen, as they are always quick to respond to every call for their services, and the effective work they do is shown in detail in the fol- lowng annual report of fire marshall John J. Bower, as submitted to bor- ough council on Monday evening. Bellefonte, Pa., Jan. 2, 1929 To the Officers and Members of the Town Council of Bellefonte, Pa. Gentlemen: — Pursuant to the ordinance govern- ing the Fire Department of the bor- ough, I beg to herewith submit my report for the year 1928. During the year the Fire Depart- ment responded to 59 alarms, of which 27 were general alarms, 19 still alarms and 13 out of town calls. In response to these alarms the De- artment laid 12750 feet of 23% inch ose, raised 270 feet of ladders, used 225 gallons of chemicals, traveled ap- proximately 265 miles and were in service 35 hours. Of the 46 alarms within the bor- ough, the value of the buildings in- volved was $416,400.00, contents $218,100.00, or a total of $634,500.00. The insurance carried on the build- ings was $290,900.00, and on contents $164,500.00, or a total of $455,500.00. Loss on buildings was $10,420 and on contents $9,010.00, or a total loss for the year of $19,480.00, being .0308 per cent. of the values involved. .995 per cent. of the fires were confined to the point of origin, and those that were not so confined were almost en- tirely involved before the alarm was turned in. ‘The causes of all fires in the bor- ough were determined, as follows: Burning flues, 21; short circuits in electrical appliances, 6; cigarettes, 3; spontaneous ignition, 2; undetermin- ed, 2; false alarms, 2; sparks from cupola, 1; overheated kiln, 1; incendi- ary, 1; overheated stove, 2; defective oil stove, 3. The false alarms were not turned in maliciously but by par- ties who had reasonable cause to be- lieve that a fire existed. During the year 1650 feet of hose has been purchased so that the de- partment now has on hand 4500 feet of serviceable hose, which is near the amount required by the underwriters. A new combination chemical and hose wagon has been purchased by the Logan Fire company without any cost to the borough. I find the equipment of the department in good condition, with the exeception of a 50 foot lad- der, which I believe unsafe and should be replaced with a modern trussed ladder. The Undine steamer should be placed in working condition so that it could be used as a reserve in an emergency. Until recently I Was under the impression that such years ago. repairs had been made but find that the steamer is not in workable shape, ! but that it could be placed in good | condition for a very small cost. i The cost of repairs during the year has been $334.42 and for gas and oil | . J ee —— his home at Pine Grove Mills at nine o'clock, Saturday evening, January 5th, of valvular heart trouble. His illness covered a period of more than two years. During that time his con- dition was variable. Last summer he enjoyed many short trips about the country. In October he had a fall and since then had been confined to his room. About three weeks ago his condition became serious and a grad- ual decline began until he quietly and peacefully passed away. He was born in Lancaster county, Pa., on April 7th, 1846. Shortly after his parents, John and Amanda Wade Miller, moved to Centre county and settled at Shingletown. He was scarcely fifteen years of age when Fort Sumpter fell, but in response to the president’s call for 300,000 volun- teers, he was the first to enlist when an effort was made to organize a com- pany at Boalshurg under Captain Mec- Farlane. He served as a member of Company G, 148th regiment until the surrender of Lee at Appomatox. He was seriously wounded at Gettysburg, returning to his regiment in Septem- ber after being cared for at the Chest- nut City hospital, in Philadelphia. He saw service in most of the major battles in which the Army of the Po- tomac took part. He was one of the detail of eight men from Company G who made the successful assault on Fort Crater in front of Petersburg on October 27th, 1864. On the twen- ty-ninth of May, 1865, the order was read that made the survivors of Com- pany G the same as other citizens, save for the service they had render- ed their country. Among his most cherished memories were those that related to the days of service he gave in support of our flag. On November 30th, 1871, he was united in marriage to Mary Ann Cooper who preceded him to rest in June, 1917. His active life was spent on his farm near Pine Grove Mills where he has since resided: Politically he was an active and loyal Democrat. At various times he served Ferguson township as road supervisor, school director, and jus- tice of the peace. In 1914 he was the nominee of his party for the Legisla- ture. In early life he became a member of the Presbyterian church and until illness prevented he was regular in church attendance. His life was one of trust and devotion to his Master. He was the last of a family of four boys and three girls. He is survived by two sons, Samuel C., of Chester, and John G., at home; also two grand- children, Russell C, of State College, and Elizabeth, of Chester. Funeral services were held at his late home on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Samuel Martin, of State College, assisted by Rev. J. Max Kirkpatrick. Burial was made in the Pine Grove Mills cemetery. = ht Il COONEY.—Michael J. Cooney, a native of Bellefonte and a representa- tive of the days of half a century ago when life in the county seat was more active than that of today, died in a hospital at Valdasta, Ga., on January 2nd, as the result of an attack of pneumonia. He had been ill in the hospital since last October but only recently developed the disease which caused his death.

As we reported last week Wesley's Christmas was so full of unexpected brightness that he was quite over- whelmed. He has asked us to thank those who sent such material evidence of friendship. He said: “You know I want to thank them, but I just can’t say the words that would tell them "all it means to me.” We know Wes- ley’s handicaps and we know the drab- ness of his life so well that we know those who made this Christmas for him could have done nothing for oth- ers of their friends that was compar- able in cheer giving results with what they did for Wesley.

Gentlemen: Before our family left the pret- tiest little town in the State (Belle- i fonte) I used to see a very poor boy driving an old horse, hitched to a broken-down wagon and altho twenty years have elapsed since we came here I remember his name as Wesley - Jarret. Is he the one you refer to, in your excellent paper, in the Ink Slinks. i Enclosed find my tion. : Wesley, in those days struggled to support his mother and an aged grandmother. When we who knew of them consider his physical handicaps we agree with the paragraph in which you called him “heroic.” For, indeed, he was just that. Do write the story of poor Wesley. It will make mighty interesting read- ing. Ribs * little contribu- J. LINN GRAHAM Huntingdon, Pa., December 22, 1928. Mr. George Meek, Democratic Watchman, Bellefonte, Pa. Hope you don’t wait until “Wes- ley” has started down the long, long trail, to give his message to the world. I have not seen “Wesley” for fifteen years, but even then, as you say in your little item in “INK SLINGS,” I thought him “an heroic figure,” for the very same reasons you had in mind when you wrote those few lines for your paper. In those days it gave me a lot of pleas- jure to ease “Wesley’s” burdens once in a while, and I am going to get a big “kick” out of the thought that the enclosed ‘iron man” may help to make his Christmas a happy one. I am sure Wesley will remember me, and if you do happen to see him just tell him that “Tiddley’ Blackford wishes him his Merriest Christmas—a day filled with all the joys anyone ever knew and a New Year as happy and prosperous as the most hopeful could wish for.

While some progress has been made | during the past year toward reduc- | ing the deficiency charge made by | the insurance companies, yet no defi- nite action has been taken and I would respectfully urge that the matter be given attention, especially as to the adoption of a building code and a‘ modern fire alarm system, so that we may be in a position to ask for a re- rating of the borough. It is the opin- ion of the officers of the fire depart- ment that if the above and a few min- or changes be made that the deficien- cy charge could be reduced eight or ten cents, which would mean a very material saving to {he citizens of the borough. Among the requirements of the underwriters is an annual inspection of fire apparatus and appliances, and at present we have no accurate meth- od of determining whether the pump- ers are in condition to deliver their rated capacity. This could only be accurately ascertained by the use of a nozzle gauge. Such gauge, I believe, would be a valuable addition to the department, as it would enable us to test both pumper and hydrants as to their delivery capacity, and such gauge could be secured at a cost of approximately $25.00 or less. I wish to express my thanks to the officers and members of the Fire De- partment and to the members of Council for their cooperation through- out the past year. Respectfully submitted, JOHN J.
