OCTOBER COUNCIL MEETING, \ \ Bills Leading Feature—But Four Momboers Fresent, The Centre Hall borough council beld its October meeting Friday eve- ning in the council room. The mem- bers present were the president, Daniel Daup ; the secretary, W. Frank Bradford ; John Martz, Jr, and L. L. Bmith. The first item of business taken was the presenting of the bill for the crushed stone hauled onto the street just before the opening of the Grange Evcampment and Fair. +The biils as presented by Mr, Smith io- cluded the following items : Paying up CAF TORE OF BIORE........cccormrrrinrsesssrsorsiorsem Hauling and labor for putting same on BIRO... sins sriiinie POlRlA....conineiin oes . Mr. Smith stated there were yet a ‘few more paces on this road that peeded attention, '’ and thought that avother car load of stone should be purchased ; that the stone pat onto the road brought good results,’ ete. The president thought future pur- chases of stones of this class should be omitted, and there the matter as to buying more crushed stone was drop- ped. Prof. W. A. Krise appeared before the b dy and made compiaint that the walter stood in the sireet to the front of his property, and asked that the same be prevented. He thought =a few losis of ground hauled there would prevent the stagnant pool of water. The chair stated the matter would be looked into, Tue condition of the walk to the front ofthe property of Abner W, Alexsuder, tenanted by 8. B. Kreamer, and Mrs. Carrie Rubl, was discussed, The secretary was instructed to notify Mr. Alexander, but no definite action was taken as to what the notice should coutain—whelher he should be noti- fied to rebuild or repair. Complaint was made of a leaking hydrant ou the property occupied by the late A. P. Luge, and the secretary was requested to notify Clement Luse to have sme repaired, Instructions were also given the secretary to notify James From to re- move the improvised hydrant in the road to the front of the From property at the foot of the mountain, Complaint was made of a wood pile in the alley at Mr, Tibbett’s shed, and the secretary was requested to notify the proper parties Lo remove it. The secretary reported that the borough's supply of gasoline was ex- hausted, sud it was for that reason the lights were not lighted. The matter of suppiylog more than one water conpection al the expense of the borough for an individual property owner was discussed but no definite couclusion was reached, The following bills were presented and ordered paid : J. 8.

Arvey, hauiiog W. H Runkle, hauling D. L. Kerr, interest ou bouds , A FEW COMMENTS The car load ol stones aud the Tib. belts wood plie are two questions de- serving of comments. The ciushed sone were purchased without warrant, and their cost, io- cluding the hauling and labor, ($67.20) f dead loss to the taxpayers. ‘I'te bul was pald without a protest, although Tt is agreed by several councilmen that the purchase was made without orders from the council asa body, and that the citizens received no benefit from the expenditure of the money. The Tibbetta.wood pile is but one of A dosen and probably two dog:n wood plies that oceupy pisces in the several alleys and side streets in Centre Hall, How can the borough authorities cone sistently force Mr. Tibbetts to vacate the alley and permit others to tse the nlley for the same purpose ? Is one wood pile in an alley more of a nuls- Ance than another?
