Ways to spend Federal dollars discussed
Supporters and oppon-
ents of several proposed
local projects spoke out at a
public meeting in Mount
Joy last week.
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.
Westview Park, Phase II,
request $15,000 to continue
Phase 1 through the pur-
chase of playground
equipment and other ap-
purtenances necessary to
