At b meeting of the Board   of
Supervisors    of Antis township
beld recently definite action   was
taken toward making tbat portion
ot tbe highway in   the township
of Antis beginning at tbe borongh
line on   South Main  street   end
extending to tbe Logan towoship
line on the   southwest,  s  Stste
reward road, and should the plans
oow in preparation come to  fruition, tbe traveling public will,   in
dne time, have tbe  advantage of
traveling over an improved highway.
This    lins  extends    through
Glasgow's woods snd comes out a*
Pinecroft and proceeds thence to
the city of Altoona, making it an
easy and quite convenient appro*
ach to tbe business as well as tba
residential section.    Should   tbe
road be improved it would prove
ot untold benefit to the wholesale
merchants, as well   as others,   in
Altoona. Tbe wholesalers   wonld
have almost a straight  road  and
much shorter     than     over   the
Altoona-Tv rone concrete highway
whioh is at most all times greatly
congested,  and   woold thus   be
able to make a quicker aud haul a
larger load in delivering meroban
diie to the businessmen to   Bellwood, Tyrone    snd   points    iu
Cambria and Clearfield  connties,
and it is just   possible tbat   tbe
bosiuess people of  Altoooa  will
get behing this proposed improve
*xUb much force  and  urge

It was originally   planned to
bring tbe William Peuu Highway
through Bellwood and theuce  on
to  Altoona  throogh   Glasgow's
woods,  bat at tbe  lsst minute it
was deemed advisable to change
the ronte  and   use   tbe   Gospel
Hollow route. Now with a one-way
highway through the valley   and
with its congested condition  and
constantly increasing travel, it has
beeo fonnd expedient    to build
another  outlet,   and  the   most
teasible ronte ia   tbe one  that is
proposed to become a Stste    Reward road. It is said that it would
be advisable to relocate the   line
in a number  ot places sod   thus
eliminate a  number  of curves,
and tbis could be done at relative
ly small cost.
As we bave been informed the
Stabs will bear .one-half the   cost
of construction, the  coonty   one
forth and tbe township of Antis
the remaining one-fourth.   While
action on the proposed  improvement may not be taken nntil after
the meeting of the next legislature
when the necessary enactment of
laws will be made appropriating
sufficient funds, yet interest in tbe
matter should not be permitted to
lag, bnt the citizeus in these parts
sbonld be constantly active in the
matter.

Feeling,   that a   large saving
would resnlt ovsr the cost paid to
the local concern  wbieb supplies
electric current to tbe users in tbe
borongh and nearby  places,   the
C. O. Keith  ice plant on North
Second atrset, convolved the idea
that power could be  had   mnob
chef, per by the installation  oi   a
Diesel    engine and  tbe    necessary equipmeut. Some  time ego
plans to tbis eud were worked out
the engine ordered aod iBfaalleil
and on Tuesday the plant   began
making its own power, ss well m
the light it usee.
A few   years ago    Charles O.
Keith conceived, tbe idea thst an
ice plant  woold    be a    paying
undertaking in the borougb   aod
finally placed his plans into execution, and bas since been supplying
tbe citizens   witb   tbe congealed
fluid. He not only supplies   Bell*
wood, bnt finds an outlet for ths
surplus in nearby towns. Electricity has always beeu used in driving
the machinery in  the plant and
now witb tbe installation ot   tha
Diesel engin  a big  saving   will
result.
