At Special Council Meeting
This Evening.
Eagerness for work was emphat-
ically demonstrated, on Monday eve-
ning, when ten contracting firms sub-
| mitted bids to borough council for
the construction of the new Lamb
street The bids ranged from
$7421.00 to $9667.50, over $2200 var-
'iation. Three Bellefonte firms bid for
the work, the Bellefonte Engineering
and Construction company being
| third to the lowest bidder. The bids
were as follows:

Each firm also submitted prices
for doing any extra work that might
be necessary should the engineer in
charge make any change in plans
and specifications from those on

of Norristown, bridge expert who
drew the plans for the bridge and
who will be the engineer in charge
of construction, was unable to come
to Bellefonte, on Monday, owing to
the serious illness of his wife, coun-
| cil decided not to award the contract

by the engineer, and a special meet-
ing will be held this (Friday) eve-
ning, at whick time it shoped the

hardy locations, fertilizng, and cor-
rect pronunciations of some plants.

esting and instructive talk on gar-
dening, soil conditions, and his own
prohlems in relation to them. He
stressed the. importance of a definite
plan for every garden so that tall and
dwarf varieties are properly placed,
and colors and types in proper com-
bination. At the conclusion of his
address, and after answering many
| questions, Dr. Kilpatrick invited the
club to visit his garden, which ad-
joins Mrs. Beezer's. The tour of
‘his garden, also the garden of Mrs.
‘J. D. Hunter as well as that of the

delightful afternoon as well as a
very profitable one because of the
practical advice from these highly
successful gardeners. Twenty new
members were enrolled during the
afternoon. The July meeting will be
held at the home of Miss Margaret
Cook, on Linn street.

'MILESBURG MAN KILLED
IN MINE EXPLOSION
Edwin M. Reese, of Milesburg, was
instantly killed in a premature ex-
plosion of a blast in a small coal
/mine on the Stewart property, near
Pine Glenn, at 8.10 o'clock on Mon-
day morning. The mine was open-
‘ed about two months ago and was
being operated by Edwin and his
brother, M. C. Reese, of Runville.
The two men, with a Mr. Catherman,
went to work at the usual time, on
Monday morning. M. C. Reese and
Catherman had drilled a hole
shot of dynamite in the hole when
it in some way exploded.
The explosion brought down tons
of coal and dirt, blocking the mine,
but M. C. Reese and Catherman
made their escape from the blocked
mine by climbing out of an air shaft
that had just been completed on
| Saturday. Farmers working nearby
‘heard the explosion and hurried to
‘the mine. They assisted in digging
‘out the body of Edwin Reese, but it
was forty-five minutes before it wis
recovered. The body was consider-
ably mangled, evidence that death
was instantaneous. A hole had been
blown right through the center of
the man's watch which had stopped
at 8.10, which gave the time of the
accident.
The unfortunate man was a son
‘of the late Charles £. and Minnie
‘Aikley Reese and was born in Miles-
(burg 35 years ago. He married
‘Miss Hazel Fetzer who survives with
‘three children, Eloise, 12 years old;
‘Mildred, 10 years, and Lloyd, 7. He
‘also leaves his mother and the fol-
lowing brothers and sisters: M. C.,
William, John and Mary Reese,
‘all of Runville; Mrs. Ralph Edmin-
ston, of Bellefonte; Mrs. Lewis
Wetzler, of Milesburg, and Mrs.
'Gilbert F. Noll, of Pleasant Gap.
Funeral services will be held at
his late home, in Milesburg, at 2
‘O'clock this (Friday) afternoon, ty

that Columbia Fire Co. of Osceola |

Fourth of July parade. At that
time, with six towns represented,
came the inspiration of forming the
organization, which today consists
of more than seventy-five companies

The Undine Company of Bellefonte |
expects to attend as an organization
and will take some of their appara- |

TO BE RECONDITIONED |
R. L. Burdon and M. Depew, of |
the United States Department of
Commerce, have been in Bellefonte —Mrs. John Dawson has been visiting |
this week outlining plans for the en- *!
largement and reconditioning of the |
Bellefonte aviation field, and within
a week plans and specifications ask- |
ing for bids on the work will be on |
file at the Bellefonte postoffice where |
they can be seen and
local contractors
on the job.
The enlargement of the fieid will |
all be on the east end. The Depart- |
ment recently leased 27 acres of land
from W. E. Smeltzer, twenty acres
of which are a part of what was
formerly the George Garbrick farm
and seven acres on the old Ben Gent-
zel farm, both of which are now own-
ed by Mr. Smeltzer. They are locat-
ed on the east side of the township
road which now constitutes the east-
ern boundary of the field. Because of
this fact the road at that point will
be closed. The present field is 2200
feet long and the new addition will |
give it an east-west runway of 2800
feet or more than half a mile. |
The present field will also be level- |
ed up and tile-drained so as to pre- |
vent any possibility of it being mir- |
ed in the mud in the wettest kind of |
weather. Work will be begun as soon |
as possible—probably within a month,
so that the job can be completed |
this summer. The estimated cost is |
from $4,000 to $5,000, and local labor
will be employed as far as possible.
