Burgess Explains
Town Regulations
Chief Burgess Alfred E. Yougel
stated in an interview .yesterday
afternoon that students at the
College are due some explanation
on the parking and unlicensed dog
policies of the borough.
Yougel said that a $1 fine is
gainst
pe - rsOup: 2 -- who — Overz. -
stay''parking meter time if the
person will pay the fine within
48 hours at the borough hall.
• •Parking in no parking and un_
loading zones at any time makes
the lawbreaker liable to a $2 fine,
payable within the 48-hour limit.
The chief burgess said that vio
lations of the State Motor Code,
such as'oarking too near an in
tersection, fire hydrant, or simi
lar violations, will be punished
by a hearing and a fine exceeding
$lO, should the person be ibund
guilty.
The State College authorities
will continue to pick up tin
licensed dogs and fine their own_
ers a minimum of $3.25 with
costs. This is necessary at this
time, aCcoraing to Yougel, because
of the widespread prevalence cif
rabies-infected dogs running
loose. The Burgess reminded that
the borough authorities act main
ly for the protection of townspeo
ple and students in their enforcing
of state laws and local ordinances.
