No action was taken on any of the matters L. A. Hill, of East Bishop street appeared in Council to request an adjustment of water tax on his gar- | age property. The property Is to be inspected by water department offi- | cials to determine If the present charges are correct The Fire and Police committee re- ported that the bells at the Logan and Undine fire houses are now hooked in the circuit which sounds the fire siren atop the county jail bullding, and that if the siren falls in the future, the bells will ring. The committee declared that the Login House has been partially rewired and that the electrical facilities at the Undine House should be renew- ed. Jt was discovered, the commit- tee said, that some major fire haz- grds existed at the {ire houses be- cause of aged and faulty wiring. A bill of $4030 from the Bellefonte Restaurant, South Allegheny street for sandwiches and coffee served to firemen on the night of the Lyons building fire, was held for investi- gétion, upon recommendation of the committee Fire Marshal Phillp Saylor, as- sisted by George Carpeneto recent- ly prepared a list of items needed by the fire department to replace ar- ticles lost and worn out. The list en- tailing an estimated expenditure of about $800, includes 300 feet of 2%- inch hose; 300 feet of 1':-inch hose; 2 small hose lines; 18 metal hel- mets; gas mask equipment and a variety of fire tools. It was recom- mended that a new fire alarm sys- tem, preferably an air whistle, be purchased to replace the siren Council authorized the Fire and Police committee to purchase the equipment listed, but took gction on the fire alarm proposal The Pinance Committee reported as follows Borough $401.55, and bills Water Department: balance §$1.- 125.30, and bills 563.20 Upon motion by Councilman Tea- man, seconded by Councilman Sleg Council moved to take legal action to collect back taxes from former Tax Collector, Sarah Love The Sanitary Committee submit. ted the report of Health Officer 8. M.

Cherry added that the device worked for a time but that it is now “clogged up” and is inef- fective. After a discussion, Presi- dent - Thomas Beaver appointed Borough Solicitor M.
