—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 26, 1975 40 Grange Proposes Resolutions Lancaster Co. Pomona Grange 71 held their spring meeting at Oakryn as guests of Fulton Grange April 19, 8 p.m. The Master, Jesse Wood, presided at the business session when the following resolutions were adopted: WHEREAS. Pennsylvania Power & Light Company has petitioned the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission for a 4 per cent increase effective May 30, 1975, to raise approximately 21 million dollars and an 11 per cent increase to raise ap proximately 59 million dollars, or a total of 15 per cent of their total present revenue. And WHEREAS, Just a few years ago the same company was urging everyone to install electric heat and electric appliances, with the story that as more customers were added to the line the cost of delivering electricity would decrease rather than increase. And WHEREAS, The 15 per cent raise asked for is to be applied almost entirely to total electric home owners, farmers and other big users of electricity. And WHEREAS, The last raise, plus the fuel adjustment, has already almost doubled the present cost of electricity.

GILBERT, PROP. * WHEREAS. The suggested use of the 80 million dollars is to be used to build atomic plants and pay larger dividends to the stockholders. And WHEREAS, Lancaster County had entirely too many atomic plants in the environment for healthy living. Be it RESOLVED, That Lan caster County Pomona Grange No. 71, meeting in regular session, petition the P.U.C. to deny this increase on the grounds that it is very unjust and unfair. WHEREAS, The farm bill, as adopted by the House and Senate, is in danger of a Presidential veto. And WHEREAS, The farm bill would not be inflationary, as the present market prices are well above the price levels contained in the bill. And WHEREAS, The price increase in the bill will not encourage production beyond our present level, as we are almost at full production now. And WHEREAS, Farm prices are now at a point that many farmers are dropping out of production. Be it RESOLVED, That Lancaster Co. Pomona ■Grange No. 71, meeting in regular session, go on record asking our Legislators in Congress to override a Presidential veto, should that happen. WHEREAS, Our State Senate is considering a bill that would declare the growing and harvesting of mushrooms a non agricultural occupation. And WHEREAS, The net result would be that the already troubled mushroom farmers would have to contribute to the unemployment com pensation fund. And WHEREAS, Mushrooms are a food and their production is definitely an agricultural occupation. Be it RESOLVED, That Lan caster Co. Pomona Grange oppose any legislation that would change this status. WHEREAS, Current Federal Communications Commission regulations restrict pay TV operations to major markets already served by existing free TV signals, providing viewers access to programming from all three major networks. Other regulations strictly limit what these operations can siphon from free TV and charge you for them. And WHEREAS, Revised regulations are now being prepared by the F.C.C. which will relax some of the restrictions on syphbning, depriving millions of viewers the pleasure of watching their favorite iprograms without joining pay TV. Be it, RESOLVED, That Lan caster County Pomona Grange No. 71 petition the F.C.C. to maintain their present strict regulations on syphoning. And be it further RESOLVED, That we oppose the legislation prepared by the White House Office of Telecom munications Policy which would forbid the F.C.C. from any regulatory control over syphoning. Concerning a bill in the State Legislature to protect farmland from high front footage assessments on sewer and water service, as in most cases he does not when he has housing development next to his property, he should not be compelled to pay frontage. Also water sewer authorities should not be permitted to put a lien on farms, which would render them un saleable. They further stated that those authorities should have to pay damages for crossing farmers’ proper ties. They took the position that land should be in agricultural use for seven years prior to a water or sewer line installation in order not to have to pay frontage.
