JCRO. COUNCIL ENCOURAGES
REBUILDING OF HIGHWAY
mmediate Expense to Town to be
Made Limited as Possible.
William A. Carroll, assistant divi-
ion engineer from the State high-
jay offices in Clearfield, appeared
efore borough council, at a regular
aeeting on Monday evening, in re-
ard to the rebuilding of the State
ighway between Milesburg ana,
ellefonte. This was the first piece
f highway constructed in Centre
ounty and it was built of macadam
bout twenty years ago.
According to plans prepared by the
epartment and which Mr. Carroll
xhibited to council, the road is to
e rebuilt with an eighteen foot
7idth of concrete and an eight foot
houlder on each side. The present
oadway will be followed from Miles-
urg to the sharp curve at the ol
'lentral Railroad of Pennsylvania
hops where it will divert to the right
nd come up the course of the old
anal and railroad bed to a point
ear the pike lime kilns where a big
11 will be made to connect with the
resent route through the borough
t a point near the intersection of
orth Water street.
The original plans provided for the
ame width of street inside the bor-
ugh limits and around the Rhoads
orner, which would necessitate cut-
ng down considerable of the high
ank along the McCoy and Shall-
ross properties, thus entailing pos-
ble heavy damages. But the re-
ised plans presented to council pro-
ide for the construction of the
ame kind of a roadway within the
srough limits asin the township and
oly to a point at the intersection
f Curtin street witha Y at the in-
srsection of north Water street.
The borough was asked to secure
1e right-of-way within the borough
mits for the new route, find a place
) dump the old tin cans and dirt
‘hich will have to be moved from
1e old dump and agree to cover the
ght foot shoulder on each side of
tate’s eighteen foot width and build
high curb at any time within three
)» five years that the borough's fi-
ancial condition will permit doing
)
Mr. Carroll explained that the re-
iilding of this piece of road will
. nowise affect Centre county’s oth-
+ allotments of road money. He al-
) stated that several other sections
! the county are after the money
it the department is anxious to re-
1ild this road in order to entice
3 much traffic as possible through
| reported a refund of $165 from the
1 West Penn Power company on an
error in computation of the March
pumping bill, as well as the collec-
tion of $500 on water duplicates.
The Finance committee reported a
{ balance of $1221 in the hands of the
borough treasurer and also requeést-
| the renewal of notes totalling
$8000. The borough treasurer re-
ported having an opportunity to bor-
row $1500 at five per cent. and he
was authorized to do so.
‘I'he Fire and Police committee sub-
mitted a report of fire marshall John
J. Bower in which he stated that the
average number of active firemen in
leach company does not exceed 35
at any fire.
Mr. Carroll, in addition to present-
ing facts about the rebuilding of the
Milesburg road, brought up the mat-
ter of the petition against the high-
iway’'s garage and storage plant, on
| Wilson street. He stated that the
i department had spent about $3750 in
location and plant and there is no
{fund from which they can draw mon-
|ey to move the plant or build another
|and further, they would like to have
a authority to construct another build-
ing there for storage purposes. He
i further stated that if the department
is compelled to move the plant it will
likely be taken to some other town.
No definite action was taken in the
matter, though Mr. Walker stated
that some solution of the problem
will probably be found.
| Bills approximating $1300 were ap-
proved for payment, after which
council adjourned.
ANOTHER APPEAL FOR
FRESH AIR CHILDREN.
Once again an appeal is being
made to the people of Bellefonte and
vicinity to entertain fresh air chil-
dren from the tenement districts of
New York for two weeks beginning
July 17th. For several years past
Bellefonte has entertained a contin-
gent of such children, though the
number has gradually been growing
smaller every year. Whether this
is because of a lessened spirit of hos-
pitality or for some other reason is
not known. This year, however,
those in charge of the movement are
beseeching a more liberal response to
the appeal. In fact, they say ‘let
this be the banner year.” If such is
to be the case more people will have
to open their hearts as well as their
homes to the entertainmnt of the
| youngsters.
The committee in charge this year
will be Mrs. Elizabeth Beech, chair-
man; Mrs. W. Harrison Walker, Mrs.
.John Sommerville, Mrs. M. R. John-
som, Mrs. G. Oscar Gray, Mrs. Frank
Crawford, Mrs. William Nighthart,
‘Mrs. S. F. Gast, Mrs. William Sny-
der, Mrs. Samuel Shallcross, Mrs.
Lelia Cole, Miss Daise Keichline, and

PHILIPSBURG, 3rd WARD,
: WANTS VOTING MACHINES.
| A petition duly signed by qualified
voters of the 3rd Ward of Philipsburg
has been filed in the office of the
county commissioners requesting
them to submit to the voters at the
November election the question of the
adoption and installation of voting
machines, under the provisions of the
enabling act passed by the last Leg-
islature.
| The act states that county com-
missioners must submit the proposi-
tion to a vote on the petition of a
stipulated number of qualified voters
in any “township or borough” in the
county, and as the petition filed rep-
resents only one election precinct in
'the borough of Philipsburg the com-
missioners are of the opinion it is not
sufficient to require them to submit
the proposition to the voters.

along the roadside soliciting “lifts”
from motorists. The paragraph was
stricken out in the Senate, and the
action was agreed to by the House.
' “Hiteh-hiking” may be a dangerous
i practice, or a nuisance, as the individ-

Vehicle Commissioner Ben Eynon
, points out it is not illegal. It is un-
derstood that the Senate's objection
ito placing a ban on the practice arose
from the fact that students at vari- |

«they called an infringement on thelr
right to get home week-ends with the
least possible expense.
