FORMER BELLEFONTE MAN
FACES JAIL SENTENCE.
In a Philadelphia court, on Tues-
day, Judge Fitzpatrick refused the
motion for a new trial made by
Alonzo E, Smith and Harry G. Fitz-
gerald, convicted last May of fraud
in promoting a $200,000 “dream city”
in the Florida swamps, and order-
ed the two men to appear in court
on January 5th for sentence.
Fitzgerald was born and raisedin
Bellefonte and is a graduate of the
local High school. Since leaving
here he has lived in Cleveland, Ohio.
Testimony at the trial of the two
"men alleged that they had sold lots
in “Melbourne Manor,” in Florida,
showing maps bearing streets, pala-
tial homes, clubs and golf courses.
The “town” was a swamp, investi-
gators discovered. and many in-
vestors lost their money in the
swindle. Fitzgerald claims he was
an innocent party to the transaction.

FULL KILN CAPACITY.
While many industries throughout
the country are curtailing output and
laying off employees the Whiterock
Quarries put a few additional men
to work, Monday morning, pre-
liminary to firing their eighteenth
kiln. Last year at this time they
had only nine kilns in operation but
now they have seventeen and will
soon have eighteen, their entire bat-
tery. And the nice thing about it
is that their orders for chemical and
agricultural lime now on the books
are sufficient to keep them busy
until the first of next June.
