No, 6, | | LAND OWNERS DISCUSS FOREST PROTECTION MEETING HELD IN COURT HOUSE ON SATURDAY. MEANS MUCH TO CENTRE 60. The Importance of Securing Adequate Protection to Timberland From Fire, Is Vital—Many Prominent Men in Attendance. A meeting of great importance to all owners of timberland in Centre county, and as well to every person who has the preservation of our for- ests at heart, was held In the court house at Bellefonte on Saturday af- ternoon. While the attendance was not so large as would have been de- | sired, yet many prominent represen- tative land owners of the county were | present, in addition to others who are enthusiastic in the common endeavor | of preventing a denudation of forest lands by fire in Central Pennsylvania, The meeting was called to order at | 1:30 in the Grand Jury room, by J. M. Hoffman, late of the Chestnut Blight Commission, who has had much | experience in forestry work. After Mr. Hoffman had briefly stated his purpose in calling the meeting, In which he urged upon those present to become active in this very important cause, a call for a chairman was made. H. C. Quigley, Esq., who in the sence of Mr. W. C. Snyder, division superintendent of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, and as their attorney, represented the company, was elected to fill the chair. Mr. Hoffman was chosen secretary. The first speaks called upon was the Hon 8S El Hott, a member of the State restry Board. Mr. Elliott is a ad-minded san, thoroughly conversant with threatening dangers of timber fam ine, and is heart and with any movement that will protect us such a calamity. His opening remarks were significant That unless the for- ests of this country are replenished, the nation has reached highest state of prosperity He very impressively of the necessity of ing for young trees, and sald in that, “on thelr existence depends future of the forests just as in human family, on the health and of the child depends the future civil- | ization, and manhood of the country That the future of our country de- pends on what steps we now take to! protect our forests, and if we do not awaken and stop forest waste, our country is doomed to decay.” His sincerity in the cause impressed all J. Linn Harris, also a member of the State Forestry Board, and interested in quite a large area of land within the territory that is desired to be or- ganized into an association, spoke in| very encouraging words of the move- ment, and of its more extensive val- | ul Hew J. A. Ferguson, head of the Forestry Department of Pennsylvania | State College, told in a general way of the value of fire protective asso- clations, and urged those present to | protect their young timber from fires The Pennsylvania Rallroad Forester, John Foley, spoke of the value of or- ganized fire protection, and assured those present that they would co-oper- | ate in every reasonable way possible | to lessen the damage done by the rall- | road. Mr. Melly, division engineer of the P. R R Co, although unwilling to commit himself on just what could be expected from them, unless a specific case was presented, expressed sa de- | sire that the organization might pre- | vent fire damage, and what Is under- stood that they were just as desirious a8 any one that fire damage might soon become a thing of the past A general discussion of the possibil- ities of securing financial aid for the association from the federal govern- ment through the Weeks bill occupied some time Very illuminating points were brought out and in the discussion those present began to feel assured | that the land owners, by taking an ac- tive interest in movement at this | time, could secure federal ald, The subject of ald from the State Forestry department was discussed, and it was felt by those present that inasmuch as almost three thousand acres of state land are in the central part of the territory desired to protect, and also since our territory adjoins state land for several miles in Burnside town- ship, we should secure some help from the state department. The members of the State Forestry Board being = minority, would not commit them- selves on this point, but assured ery one present that the would do all that was possible to secure aid Mr. Hoffman, who had presented these arguments to the Deputy Forester some time ago, was given much en- couragement, Several other methods of securing nid were mentioned by the secretary. The various land owners present were called upon to express their opinions and were unanimous in expressing a willingness to put their shoulders to the wheel, A motion was made by Mr. J. Linn Harris that a committee he appointed to bring this organization to completion. Mr. Fer. guson, of Pennsylvania State College, 8. B. Elliott, and others discussed this motion, during which the chairman read a paper prepared by Mr. Hoff. man on what the association plans to | do. It was finally decided that since | Mr, Hoffman was responsible for init. lating the movement, he be appointed as a committee of one to perfect it and | Ket as many land owners as are will | ing to join the association. A consti tution prepared by Mr. Ferguson was | read, and the land owners pesent sign- ed it, thus putting the plan on a solid | basis, The land owners present show. od their interest in the cause by vot. ing money for Mr. Hoffman's neces | sary expenses in traveling over North | western Centre county to enlist others | to join the association. It was decid- | ed that a similar meeting be held in| Philipsburg In a short time to get the land owners of that district to join the association, and after that a final | meeting be held of all those who have | Joined the association, and are willing to help along a movement that will mean much to the land owners them- selves, as well as the future of Bnow Shoe, Philipsburg, and in fact the en- tire state. It was moved by Mr. Hoff. man that 8. B. Elllot and J.

A Ferguson Township Case in Which the Closing of a School Compelled Five Scholars to Walk a Great Dis- tance. down by Judge Orvis this week In the Centre County Court, that bears upon a school question of much interest to all parents as well as members of school boards, In this case H.

Our country roads dur- ing the winter months are very fre- quently either blocked by snow drifts {or very muddy, and in scarcely any | Instance are supplied by sidewalks or | paths, so that the little children are necesrarily subjected to considerable exposure where they are compelled to walk more than a mile and a half each way, but that we have the ju. dicial power to compel the sald board to ndopt this recommendation presents an entirely different question. The learned counsel for the plain- tif argued with great force that the use of the word “shall” in Section 1406 makes it obligatory upon the school board of Ferguson township to transport his client's children. We concede that taking this section by itself such a construction would seem a natural one, but we are forced to construe the School Code as one com- plete consistent plece of legislation, and to avold any construction which would force us to hold a section un: constitutional by too strict a con- struction of Its language. If we ex- amine other sections we will find as follows: In the latter part of Seotion 1404 that the language is “the board of school directors In any school dis- trict in the commonwealth may out of the funds of the district, provide for (Continued at bottom of next col) thw vide Pros children d The in on children at.

In other words, the law will | not compel the school board to trans: port one family residing more than a | mile and a half from the school unless | it would transport the children of all | other families residing the same or greater distance, whether the children heretofore attended a different school now closed or not. As the act in ev- ery other portion of it makes the question of transportation by the board discretionary, we feel that the only proper construction of Section 1408 would be to read “shall” as “may.’ We feel therefore compelled to deny the plaintiffs petition. As the ques- tion involved Is one of public moment and of general Interest Involving a nice construction of the School Code, we think the costs should be pald by the school district. And now, to wit, February 3, 1913, the prayer of the plaintiff for peremp- tory mandamus is hereby refused, the costs to be pald by the school dis trict of Ferguson township, the de- fendant, By the Court, ELLIS L.
