No two descriptions given by victims are alike, the Chier de- police are through clared, There is no point of simi- | larity on which to base a search, he added Mahlon K. Robb, assistant to the president of the Bellefonte Trust Company, appeared in Council with a report that the borough may be mk by Mrs. Magdalene ‘Thompson, as the result of damages alleged to have resulted to Mrs. Thompson's | property through the construction of the new Bellefonté-State College road, on Willowbank street, Robb sald that two of Mrs, | Thompson's properties on the north | side of the road, extending from a| short distance west of Holmes ave-| nue to the borough line have been | seriously damaged by the road fill at that point. The lots, which ex- tend to the creek edge, have been reduced in size and are far the level of the road, Robb said. He claimed Mrs. Thompson places the damage at about $1000, The matter! was referred to the special commit- tee. When the Bush Addition Water Association asked Council, through a letter, for a reduction of rates owing to the heavy expense the As- sociation had last summer in re- building the mains along the new College road, Council instructed the secretary to invite property owners in Bush Addition to seek incorpor- ation into the borough. In that way, it was pointed out, residents of the area would have the benefits of borough water rates. The purchase of a transit, a re- built instrument, was authorized by Council, the cost being $225. The transit would be used oun all bor. ough surveying work, and the pur- chase price is not greatly in excess of the rental fees charged for the use of such an instrument for one year, ft was reported, The lime-dust question again was brought up for discussion, and Coun- cil again authorized the solicitor to write to the president of the War- ner Company, and to 8. M. Shall- cross, superintendent of the local American Lime and Stone Company plant, to urge immediate action to eliminate the nuisance, Borough police were cautioned asgaihst having “visitors” with no of- ficial business sifting snd riding in the police car, although police were instructed to.lend protection to any asking it. This ruling was mide when go Councilman reported that several girls had been seen “visiting” with an officer while the of Dr. Roger's oar South Spring street, when Council di- seerdtary of Counef! was in- structed to prepare g minute upon the death of the late Charles L. Gates who served long and faith- fully as borough auditor. A copy of the minute is to be sent to mem. Bers of the family. Councilman John Weber suggest- ed that Bellefonte provide a play- ground for the use of ¥y Couneil Hughes athletic fleld might be tak- en over by the borough and the swimming pool repaired and opened to the public. The playground could be located on the same tract he indicated. Charles £ Derworth, owner of the north portionr of Crider's Ex- change, was granted permission to €rect a sidewalk barrier in front of two storerooms while the fronts of the rooms are being re- Modeled.

Others also are reported to have seen Smith in the vicinity, police said The autopsy revealed with the exception of reddened areas about the chin. It is believed that these marks were caused by quick freezing. The ears similarly were a deep red The autopsy was performed in the Hardman P.
