The trucks rere the property of W. W. Bickett nd the car James Burns. The grand jury, which went into | sssion Tuesday morning, completed 's work on Friday. Instead of sev- | nty bills of indictment reported sady for them last week, only forty- | ight were presented, and of umber ten were ignored, the largest umber ever ignored by any grand | ary. Among the number ignored sas the bill against the county de- ective Leo Boden, for assault in /hich John P. Eckel was the prose- utor. The grand jury's report isas ollows: J ‘o the Honorable Court: i We beg to report that we have xamined and passed upon 48 bills f indictment presented by the dis- ‘rict attorney, 38 of which number vere found true bills and 10 not rue bills. We have visited and inspected the ounty buildings and beg leave to eport: ; The county jail is in need of the ollowing: A heating plant separate rom the court house; that. the old in walls should be removed and in heir places plaster and cement should be used; painting is neces- jary; the halls of the sheriff's office should be papered; .gument and up. to that morning for- | ted in some manner and an electrical the walk be- JUDGE FLEMING HEARS . TWO IMPORTANT CASES Two cases of importance were ar- gued before Judge Fleming, last Wed- nesday morning. The first was that of the injunction proceedings insti- tuted by O. E. Miles, of Milesburg, ! against the Lord Construction com- pany, the State Highway Depart- ment, Milesburg borough and the county of Centre to prevent them from taking his land for street pur- poses without condemnation proceed- ings or posting an indemnifying bond. Former Judge Arthur C. Dale ocgupied the anomalous position of counsel for the plaintiff and also so- licitor for the county, and endeavor- ed to persuade the court that while Mr. Miles is entitled to redress and should be legally protected the coun- ty of Centre is not liable because the commissioners entered into nc agree- ment, either written or oral, to as- sume the burden of damages within the borough. J. Kennedy Johnston represented Milesburg borough, and maintained that the action of the commissioners in approving the plans for the road, as submitted by the Highway De- partment, was equivalent to assum- ing the burden for any damages that might accrue at any point along the road. The court took the case under consideration and will give a decis- jon at an early date. The second case was one of consid- erable interest to Bellefonte as well as other boroughs. On August 13th Herbert Auman presented legally executed nomination papers for the office of assessor in the North ward of Bellefonte at the office of the county commissioners but Fred B. Healy. clerk, declined to receive them on the ground that the com- missioners had decided that under the 1927 act of the Legislature no assessors could be elected until 1931. On August 30, Mr. Auman, through his attorney, former Judge James C. Furst, instituted mandamus pro- ceedings to compel the commission- ers to place his name on the pri- mary ballot.. In his petition attorney Furst set forth the fact that the of- fice of assessorisnota constitutional one. That at present the assessor in the North ward is an appointee and was not elected, and that under the general election laws appointees serve only until the next general election for such offices. It was further alleged that Belle- fonte borough was incorporated un- der a special act of the Legislature in 1806 and had never formally ac- cepted the provisions of the general law as it relates to boroughs, or the special acts of 1851, 1915 or 1927. Wednesday was the day set for ar- mer Judge Arthur C. Dale, rep- resenting the commissioners, was literally floating around in a sea of despond, hoping against hope that | he could find some data to combat | the statements set forth in the! mandamus petition. Whether he was given a tip or not, a search of the old records in the prothonotary’s office brought to light the fact that in August, 1858, the properly constituted authorities of the borough, did make application and formally accepted the provisions of the general law relating to bor- oughs, and when this entry was shown the court the proceedings were promptly dismissed. Under the act of 1927, which pro- vided for the election of assessors that year and every fourth year thereafter, it is claimed that provi- sion is also made that assessors so elected shall be under jurisdiction of borough authorities and must be paid out of borough funds instead of re ceiving their pay from the county. — In appealing for support at next Tuesday's primaries O. A. Kline, Republican candidate for Tax Col- lector, asserts that if he is nomina- ted and elected he will give the same conscientious attention to the col- lection of county and borough taxes that he has during the past two years to the school duplicates. His office is centrally located, in Petrikin hall, and it is always open during the hours mentioned on his card notices. Support at the primaries will be greatly appreciated by him.—Adv. 35-1t. a ————lp ee ere IN THE CHURCHES ON SUNDAY. ST. JOHN'S LUTHERAN CHURCH. 9:30 A. M. Bible School 10:45 A. M.

BA A GOOD WORD FOR THE “MOVIES” No matter what you think about the soundness of his judgment, Col. Jason S. Joy, before the Internation- al Association of Policewomen, said recently that the motion picture is a deterrent of crime and called at- tention to the fact that in the pic- tures the guilty never escapes pun- ishment. Here is his argument: “Of 38 so-called underworld pic- tures produced last year,” said Joy, “the crook or villain was killed in 14 instances, arrested in 19, and re- formed in five cases. Of 620 feature pictures produced in America during 1928 33 per cent contained no vil- lain and no crime. era —— esr work of the county detective and chief A. E. Yougel, of State College. J. 0.
