He is planning to ‘establish a garbage route in Belle- fonte if he can secure a dump.

Hassell Montgomery were present in connection with the proposed sewer extension on east Linn street, but as no survey has been made further east than the Hartranft and Taylor properties the men were “ad- vised to geta new survey and pro- file, and present to the Street com- mitteee their offer of financial as- sistance in constructing the sewer; the matter being referred to the committtee with power, The Street committtee presented the request of Fred Walker for a sewer extension up west Lamb street onto Halfmoon hill. Mr. Walker claimed there would be three taps but the sewer will be some 1800 feet in length. Referred to the committee for investigation. The Water committee reported collection of $1575.15. . The committee further recommended that the water . tax for the ensuing year be one hun- dred per cent of the schedule in- stead of 90 per cent, as it has been for some years past. Both Mr. Jodon and Mr. Emerick objected to the increase unless a revision up- ward is made on users outside of the borough. As that schedule is fixed by ordinance the only way to change it is by another ordinance.

Up to this time council has not decided just where nor how the pipe line is to be laid, and Mr. Cobb wanted an expression of council in regard to the matter, As everybody seemed reluctant to state where, when or how the line should ferred to the committee with power. The Finance committee reported a balance in the borough fund of $93.70 and in the water fund, $1630.90. Notes presented for re- newal aggregated $23,100. Two notes for $1000 each had been paid off. A new borough note for $1000 and a water department note for $2500 were authorized to meet cur- rent bills. Mr. Emerick stated that the Ly- coming Trust company has asked for the payment of the $20,000 mort- gage on the Gamble mill next month, and he advised that the $38,000 ed which will enable the borough to pay the mortgage and give the Wa- ter committee a working capital for pumping station.

The Fire and Police committee re- ported that the tests of two fire alarms did not prove them to be any more satisfactory than the one now in use and recommended that they be returned to the manufactur- ers. So ordered. Mr. Jodon stated that he has a property on Pine street that is bad- ly in need of sewer connections but has no way of reaching a sewer without going over private property and asked if there is any way in which council can assist him. He was advised to consult the borough engineer on his next trip to Belle- fonte. Borough bills totaling $1041.00 and water bills aggregating $5005.62 were approved for payment after which council adjourned. TAX NOTICES POSTED IN COURT HOUSE CORRIDOR. County treasurer Lyman L. Smith papered one panel of the court house corridor, yesterday morning, but he didn't use a very attractive kind of paper for the job. In fact it was made up of legal notices, to be exact delinquent tax sale notices which must be posted ten days be- fore the date of sale in accordance with the law. When the tax collectors made their return to the county commis- sioners in May 980 tracts of seated lands, town homes, farms and in- dustrial plants were returned on which taxes ranging from $6.50 to $2585.00 remained unpaid. About eighty of the delinquents settled be- fore the taxes were advertised. Since the advertisement was inserted in the newspapers from one-third to one-half of the delinquents have responded to the treasurer’s notice for settlement, and it is notices of the unpaid taxes that were posted in the court house yesterday. The of delinquents have until the date sale, August 4th, to settle, and failure to do so will result in the sale of their properties. TWO MORE PRISONERS ESCAPE FROM ROCKVIEW. Two more prisoners made their escape from Rockview penitentiary, last Friday morning, but one of them had only a brief spell of liber- ty, as he was caught, on Saturady evening, in a cornfield, near Union- ville. The men had evidently planned their escape beforehand, as one of them was at work in the harvest field and the other in a barn’* yet they got together and left at the same time. : The men were Clinton McArthur, of McKean county, serving one to three years for larceny, and Walter Barton, of Westmoreland county, do- ing one to two years for stealing an automobile, McArthur had been at Rockview only eight days, hav- ing been brought there on July 10th. Barton is the man who was cap- tured and taken before Judge Flem- ing, on Tuesday, was sentenced to an additional term of one to two years. In addition he has still two years of a former sentence to serve, so that he is settled for.a time, at least. A SUCKER AND AN EEL STEAL A FISHING ROD. Last Saturda evening Harry Diehl was among a number of Miles- burg men engaged in fishing in the Bald Eagle creek, One of Harry's nearest neighbors on the bank got his line entangled in the tall grass and he went to his assistance. When he returned to his post his fishing rod, line and all had disappeared. As no one had been near the spot at the time the only conclusion was that the rod had either washed away or been dragged away by a fish. Several fishermen helped Harry and for the rod but it could not be found. On . Sunday morning John Scholl found the missing rod lying along the bank about one hundred feet down stream and when he pulled it in he found securely hooked a three and a half foot eel and a fifteen inch sucker. "It was probably the eel and the sucker that pulled the rod into the stream on Saturday evening, and the only wonder is that they didn't take it further away. ; TWO YOUNG MEN STEAL AND WRECK ED IRVIN’S CAR. Ward Green, colored, and Jack Morrison are: under one thousand dollars bail for stealing the car of Edward Irvin from infront of the Penn Belle hotel, at an early hour on Sunday morning, and wrecking the same down near the plant of the American Lime and Stone com- pany. On Staurday night they at- tempted to get away with a car from the Rossman garage, it is alleged, but were detected before they got under way. Then they stole the Irvin car and down near the old lime kilns ran into something and wrecked it. . Green was arrested on Sunday and Morrison on Monday. Monday evening they were given a hearing before Squire Tressel who held them in one thousand dollars bail for ter was referred to the Fire and WEST PENN FIRST AID SAVES LIFE OF BOY. That Nevin Guiser, seven year old son of Mrs. Elmira Guiser, house- keeper for Jacob Cramer on his farm about three miles west of State College, is alive today is undoubted- ly due to the work of the first aid team of the West Penn Power com- pany and their treatment with the ' company’s inhalator. A privately owned spur electric line crosses the Cramer farm. It has not been kept in the best condi- tion and a 2200 volt wire had brok- en loose from a bad cross-arm and sagged to within four and a half feet of the ground. On Saturday morning the Guiser boy and his sis- ter went into the orchard to pick fallen apples. In some way the boy came in contact with the 2200 volt wire on which the insulation was very bad. The shock he received knocked him to the ground and this broke his hold on the wire. Pecul- - iar as it may seem, the boy was not rendered immediately uncon- scious and was able to get up and walk a few steps, then lost con- sciousness and sank to the ground. Realizing what had happened the boy’s sister ran to the house and told her mother. Mrs. Guiser hur- ried to the orchard and picking up her boy carried him to the yard. A physician was promptly summouned who rendered what aid he could and the West Penn office, at State College, was then notified. Officials there promptly notified the Belle- fonte office and Leroy Scull and Le- roy Bryan, two of the first aid team, with the company’s inhalator, made a quick trip to the Cramer farm. They found the boy still un- , conscious and blue in the face. Some three or four treatments with the inhalator were given before signs | of returning life were noticeable, ,and it was an hour or longer be- (fore consciousness returned, The 1boy is now all right and it was un- .doubtedly the inhalator treatments that saved his life. : 1 'TWO PEOPLE NARROWLY ESCAPED DROWNING. While picnicking at Whipple's dam, on Sunday, Robert Bloom decided to take a plunge in the mountain wa- ter and got in beyond his depth. i He might have drowned had it not {been for the prompt assistance of ! Ed Martz, who brought him safely to land. The previous day Miss Sarah Wieland was seized with {cramps while bathing in the same 'pool and sank in eight feet of wa- ter. The screams of her girl friends attracted a Boy Scout, in camp | nearby, who plunged into the wa- ter and brought the girl to shore. | She had lost consciousness but was | quickly revived andis now all right. | UNDINES WIN PRIZE WITH BIG PUMPER. ‘The Undine fire company, of : Bellefonte, won a prize of fifty dol- lars for the best appearing pumper | ‘at the annual convention of the Cen- ‘tral Pennsylvania Volunteer Fire- men’s association, | last week. The State College company won ia prize of $50 for a motor driven "apparatus traveling the longest dis- tance and also $25 for the best ; darktown brigade. | The Undines were very much sur- prised and, consequently, elated at their success. Their determination to go . to the convention was an eleventh hour decision and had their full complement of men gone along held at Dubois i the largest uniformed company in line of parade. No selection was made for a place of meeting next year, as no invitations were extended. All the old officers were re-elected except the president, and he will be chosen later by the executive committee when a place for the 1931 meeting has been determined upon. BELLEFONTE, ALSO, HAD SWELTERING WEATHER. Though Bellefonte is a mountain town it sweltered in the heat of the past week, -although official regis- tration at the U. S. weather bureau, at the aviation field, did not show it as intensively hot here as was reported from many other places. But it was hot enough for all pur- poses, at that, And the ground was parched because of lack- of rain, but both the temperature and the drought were broken, on Tues- day, when a succession of rain storms occurred. The weather bureau's report of the temperature for the five hottest days is as follows: High Low Friday rn 91 54 Saturday . 94 60 SUNY: inl 94 65 Monday ... 64 Tuesday 68 MURDER VICTIM HAS BELLEFONTE RELATIVES, Robert Bigelman who was mur- dered in a garage at Carnegie, Pa. early last Saturday morning, was a nephew of Mr. and Mrs. John Mig- not, of this place. He was night man in the garage and was found dead on the floor when men for the day turn arrivea at 6 o'clock that morning.
