j YENGTHY SESSION OF
| BOROUGH COUNCIL.
' Undine Fire Company Wants New
Fire Fighting Apparatus.
Six members of borough council
were present at the regular meeting,
on Monday evening, the absentees
being president John S. Walker, who
| was confined to his home with illness;
W. H. Brouse and W. Frederick Rey-
'nolds. Mr. Cunningham was elect-
|ed president pro tem. ;
| A committee of the Undine Fire
company, with G. L. Carpeneto as
spokesman, was present and submit-
ted to council a proposition for the
purchase of a quadruple combination
as an additional piece of fire fighting
apparatus. The combination consists
of a pumper, chemical attachment,
hook and ladder carrier and hose
wagon. Points in the argument pre-
sented in favor of the purchase were
that the Undine squad truck is about
worn out; the Logan hook and lad-
der truck is also badly worn, some
of the ladders being unsafe to use;
the proposed combination will include
longer and better ladders than ever
owned by the department; the pur-
chase will remove at least a hundred
points in the insurance deficiency
charge. The cost of the combina-
tion will be about $9,000, and the fire
company will pay one-half if the bor-
ough pays the other half, payments
to be made at the rate of $500 a year
each, the apparatus to belong to the
fire department and at all times to
be under control of the borough. The
proposition appealed to members of
ary measure president Cunningham
appointed the members of the Fire
and Police committee and Messrs.
Emerick, Cobb and Mignot to join
with a committee of the Undines and
journey to some nearby town and in-
spect a similar apparatus.
Blaine Port was spokesman for a
number of residents of east Howard
street who entered a complaint about
the high water, last week, flooding
their cellars. They averred that the
cesspool put down some years ago as
a drain has become clogged, and also
that the two foot drain pipe is not
of sufficient capacity to carry off a
large volume of water, such as was
experienced last week. The matter
was referred to the Street committee
for prompt action.
C. G. Swartz headed a committee
of three from east Logan street, who
complained about the operation of the
booster pump. Mr. Swartz stated
that the pump not only drew the wa-
ter away from users below it but
made such a noise and vibration that
it was enough to make the people
nearby bughouse. The matter was
referred to the Water committee for
prompt investigation.
A delegation of citizens were also
present to request the opening of
properties to Blanchard street. Re-
ferred to the Street committee.
Under the head of written com-
munications secretary Kelly read an
invitation from the Undine Fire com-
pany, to every member of council, to
attend their annual St. Patrick’s day
banquet Monday evening, March 18th,
at 9 o'clock.
A communication was received
from the State Highway Department
suggesting that inasmuch as some
radical changes may be made in the
motor traffic laws by the present
Legislature council refrain from pass-
ing any ordinance designating
through traffic streets.
A request was received from the
treasurer of the Firemen’s Relief as-
sociation for the money due it by the
borough, either in the shape of a note
or cash. At present there is due the
association an old balance of $632.52,
according to the auditor's statement,
and the 1928 payment of $1032.75, or
a total of $1665.27. Referred to the
Finance committee.
A complaint was received from
Mrs. Mary Cole about the condition
of the alley alongside her property
on Bishop street, where she averred
mud and water splashed thtee feet
in height by passing trucks. Refer-
red to the Street committee.
A communication was received
from Dr. J. M. Brockerhoff relative
to the installation of the illuminated
fountain that it is proposed installing
in the spring, suggesting that the
light from the fountain would un-
doubtedly attract bugs and flies and
in that way might contaminate the
water. Mr. Cunningham stated that
tor who gave it as his opinion that
stall the fountain and ,that in his
ter. Mr. Badger made a motion,
which was seconded by Mr. Cobb,
council so voted.
The Water committee reported var-
ious repairs and the collection of
$19.75 on the 1927 water duplicate
and $155.25 on the 1928.
The Finance committee reported
receipt of $6.66 as the borough's
share of $10.00 received by the Un-
dine Fire company from the Spring
township school board, for the com-
pany’s response to a call for help at
the .burning of the school house in
Bush’s Addition. The committee also
asked for the renewal of notes total-
ing $11,500 and a new note for $1500
to meet current expenditures.
Mr. Cobb, of the Special committee,
recommended the appointment of Dr.
S. M. Nissley as health officer and
milk inspector for a period of five
years, as specified in the new milk
council present but as a precaution- '
|
Burnside street from the Benner
ordinance, at a salary to be named
by council from year to year. On
motion of Mr. Emerick the recom-
mendation was accepted and Dr. Nis-
sley appointed. Mr. Badger then
made a motion that the salary for
the first year be fixed at $60 a month,
and council so voted.
Mr. Cobb reported that in pursu-
ance of the passing of the milk or-
dinance the president and the secre-
tary of the local board of health had
tendered their resignations, effective
April 1st, and council voted to accept
the same and instructed the secretary
to so notify members of the board.
In the matter of lighting the pro-
posed aviation sign Mr. Cobb report-
ed progress, and the matter was left
in the hands of the committee for
further conference with Mr. Hunter
and the West Penn Power company.
Regarding a reduction of the dei-
ciency insurance charges Mr. Cobb
stated that to meet the requirements
of the Underwriters’ Association the
borough will have to install at least
seven or eight new fire hydrants.
The matter was left in the hands of
the Special committee and the Water
committee.
Bills totaling $3600 were approved
for payment after which council ad-
journed.
Kline’s Baler Upsets on Icy Bellefonte
Street.
While on the way from his farm
near Axemann, Monday afternoon, D.
M. Kline's hay baling outfit met with
an accident that might have result-
ed more seriously than it did.
William Cross was piloting the
tractor that was drawing the outfit
and was on the way to the farm of
Hon. Thomas Beaver. Just as they
crossed the intersection of Pine and
south Spring streets and started
down the hill the trailing baler be-
gan to skid. There was just enough
play at its coupling to the tractor to
make complete control of it impos-
sible. Mr. Kline was in his car lead-
ing the outfit and when he saw what
was happening got out of the way
so that he wouldn't be jammed. The
tractor driver was practically help-
less because new, patent bands re-
quired by the State when traveling
over improved highways were on its
drive wheels and they did a regular
shimmy on the ice. Tractor and bal-
er landed against the curb below the
McClure house, the baler swinging
completely around and turning over
on its side.
The Poorman garage wrecking out-
fit later went to the wreck, righted
the baler and hauled it to the Armor
blacksmith shop, where it was found
that it was not badly damaged. A
bent axle and a few broken small
parts were about the extent.

to 2. And not only that, but also
witnessed Buckley, of the Academy,
dispose of two men in the 125 pound

U. of P. heavyweight the manager
was granted permission to substitute
an extra in one of the light events
and he chose the 125 pound class.
Buckley, the Academy champion in
that class, took on both men, one
right after the other, and won both
decisions. The summaries follow:
119-pound class—Won by Trlich, U. of

ABE ROBB, OF COLEVILLE,
SENT TO WORK HOUSE.
Edward Orwick Acquitted on Arson
Charge for Burning Barn.
When the case of the Common-
wealth vs. Emery Fink and Edward
Orwick, charged with arson in con-
nection with the burning of the
Orwick barn, in Taylor township, was
called in court, last Thursday, Fink
entered a plea of guilty. Mr. Orwick
stook trial and as Commonwealth
witnesses Alfred E. Verbecker, a
State policeman, went -on the stand
and testified that he had instituted
the proceedings against Orwick on
the statement of Fink given to him
in the Centre county jail. Fink
went on the stand and test-
ified that Orwick had seen him
four times during the summer of
1928, offering him money to burn the
barn. He also said that he had
started the fire by stringing a wire
into the hayloft and throwing a spark
with an electric battery.
In his own behalf Mr. Orwick Wde-
nied all of Fink’s statements, produced
witnesses to prove his whereabouts
the day before the fire, the night it
occurred, and asserted that he knew
nothing of the burning of the barn
until the afternoon following the fire.
He also showed by experienced elec-
tricians that a fire could not have
been started in the way Fink describ-
ed. A number of character witnesses
also testified in behalf of Orwick.
The result was the jury returned a
verdict of not guilty and the county
to pay the costs.
Commonwelath vs. Russell Sweet-
wood and C. W. Zerby, charged with
larceny and receiving stolen goods.
Prosecutor, Lester G. Ilgen. The case
grew out of the theft of a revolver
from the pocket of plaintiff’s automo-
bile. James C. Furst had been re-
tained to defend Sweetwood and
Arthur C. Dale had charge of Zerby’s
case and because the defense of the
young men was along different lines
Mr. Furst presented a motion for a
severance of cases which was grant-
ed by the court. Zerby went to trial
and was acquitted after which a nol
pros was allowed in the case against
Sweetwood.
Before court adjourned Friday
morning Abe Robb was called before
the bar on the charge of breaking
a parole granted him three weeks ago
when he was sentenced on the charge
of lewdness. At that time the court
admonished him not to take a drink
for a year but Abe could not control
his thirst and broke over. When he
faced the court he plead for one more
chance but was informed that he
would have his chance after he had
served the sentence about to be im-
posed. The court then sentenced him
to pay the costs and undergo impris-
onment in the Allegheny work house
for not less than three months nor
more than six. He was taken to the
work house on Saturday, in company
with Ernest Long. William Manches-
ter was taken to the western peni-
tentiary, at Pittsburgh, at the same
time.

MANY ENJOYING CATHAUM
SOUND OPENING WEEK.
Many theatre-goers from Belle-
fonte and other parts of the county
have journeyed to State College this
week to take in the opening week of
sound and talking pictures at the
Cathaum theatre. Without excep-
tion, they have returned singing the
praises of this latest achievement of
science and more particularly of the
wonderful equipment installed at the
Cathaum.
Even those who attended with a
“show me” attitude have been com-
pletely won over by the soft, mellow
tonal qualities of the Cathaum sound
reproduction system, which still oth-
ers have characterized as the best
they have yet heard, not excepting
even the large city installations.
It is of interest to know that the
Cathaum installation embodies the
very latest improvements and a vast
difference is noticeable over similar
installations made four or five months
ago. The wonderful acoustics of the
theatre itself are also a factor in the
clear reproduction in which every
spoken word is distinctly audible in
every part of the house.
If you have been at all skeptical
as to the greater enjoyment that has
been brought to the theatre by the in-
troduction of sound and dialogue, you
should attend a performance at the
Cathaum and you, likewise, will be
convinced that there has been nothing
like it before.
The feature pictures .chosen for the
opening week as well as the novelty
acts, comedies, etc., all in sound, have
been unusually good and the Cathaum
management has been deluged with
congratulations from a host of friends
and patrons.

Bellefonte Man Takes Examination
for West Point.

one of seventeen young men who re-
cently took the examination, in Clear-
field, for admission to West Point as
a cadet, and to his credit, be it said,
he ranked third in the list. The high-
est ranking man was Robert Lutz,
of Plymtonville, Clearfield county,
who made a 92.33 point record. Gor-
don Warner, of Clearfield, was sec-
ond and Toner third. The latter two
were named alternates. The three
young men will have to undergo a
physical examination next, which al-
so will help to determine their final
standing in securing the appointment.
