Schad was present and filed a written protest against the proposition of the Bellefonte school board to construct a stadium adjoin- ing the High school building, as well as a petition against the closing of a portion of Lamb street. He claimed a stadium there would depreciate the value of all the property in that neighborhood, and also presented the argument that there is no parking ground for cars. Inasmuch as there is as yet no petition or request be- fore council for the closing of Spring street, Mr. Schad’s protest was laid on the table for the present. A communication was received from a Lancaster firm relative to council’s decision in regard to equip- ing the Gamble mill as an electric power station and the Water com- mittee was instructed to get an esti- mate of the cost of making a com- plete survey to ascertain just what the borough will require in the shape of equipment, and the probable cost of same.

Another communication was pre- sented from Dr. W. S. Campbell re- garding his request for information on the lease of the Gamble mill for | milling purposes, and the Water com- mittee reported that they have two other propositions under considera- tion and would probably be in shape to make a definite report by the next meeting of council.

The Sanitary committee presented the report of Dr. S. M. Nissley, bor- ough health officer and milk inspec- tor, for the month of May, which in- cluded an analysis of samples of the milk of various dealers, as made at State College. The analysis didn’t show up very good but the inspector expressed the belief that there will be a decided improvement in the next analysis. Mr. Brouse reported that Mr. Dun- klebarger persists in emptying salf and salt water in the concrete gut- ters, on Bishop street, notwithstand- ing the fact that he has been repeat- edly notified not to do so, and the Street committee was instructed to consult the borough solicitor regard- ing what legal measures can be tak- en to stop the practice.
