The meeting, one of three in the county, was held to give officials an idea of how the public feels about proposed Community Development programs. The programs use federal money. Dr. John Brown, presi- dent of the Marietta Gravi- ty Water Company, spoke out against the proposed Chickies Rock Park, for which $50,000 of federal money may be spent. A park, Dr. Brown said, would interfere with recre- ation in the Chickies Rock area. Crowds and regula- tions would interfere with local people's enjoyment of the area, he said. The water company owns a large area of the rock. ‘““hdon’t know why people want to buy a piece of property which already ser- ves the purpose for which they want it,”” Dr. Brown said. Vera Bellow, Mount Joy, spoke in favor of a utilities project, a proposed storm water sewer project in the borough costing $175,000 in two phases. She said a problem with runoff “is not getting any better, it’s getting worse.”’ “It’s like a lake when it rains,” she said. ‘We have rats and mosquitoes.’ Dennis Shumaker, presi- dent of the Marietta Res- toration Association, said his group would like $100,000 to restore the old Union Meeting House. It was the first church in Marietta and was built by the town’s founders. “It’s the only request Marietta in making,”’ he noted. “It’s a building that we would like to see used for something other than church purposes. It’s an inch away from condem- nation.’’ Paul Stehman and Omar Groff spoke on behalf of the projects in Mount Joy.
