street maintenance and
reconstruction and for storm
sewer construction and
B come directly from a small
percentage of the state
liquid fuels tax. Wage and
property tax incomes pay for
salaries and for the
day-to-day business of
running local government.
What problems does a
medium-size borough such
as Mount Joy have? ‘‘Road
and street maintenance take
a lot of our time and
budget,” Hamer states.
‘‘But storm water runoff is
one of our biggest problems.
Almost all of our complaints
from residents concern that
problem.”’
Is it too soon for him to
see any possible changes
which could be made to
better Mount Joy Borough
management? ‘‘I've just
talked recently with the
borough council about
that,” Hamer says care-
fully. ‘““We need to imple-
ment our storm runoff with
storm sewers. But, more
importantly, we lack com-
prehensive short- and long-
range plans. I'd like to see
that remedied.”
What advice would he
give a young man or woman
thinking about going into
town or borough manage-
ment? ‘‘Take undergrad-
uate work in government
and government administra-
tion,” Hamer suggests.
“Then get into the field,
work at it for awhile. Find
out if you like it. Then go for
any graduate degrees you
may need to advance. And
remember: local govern-
ment administration is 2
public service job. So the
rewards come from getting
the job done right. They're
not necessarily just mone-
tary rewards.”
And what does a young
borough manager do for
relaxation on weekends and
during the three or four
evenings a week he doesn’t
attend work-oriented meet-
ings? Would you believe
that Bruce Hamer is a
dedicated drummer who has
played professionally with a
dance band that specializes
in Polish music and has per-
formed as far away as Texas
and for a President of the
U.S.? His face lighting up
with obvious pleasure.

| New boro manager has broad background
Hamer talks more about his
music: ‘‘Before coming to
Lancaster County, I played
with two dance bands at
different times. We played
in New York state and New
Jersey, as well a locally, and
we even cut a polka
recording one time. We use
the old-time concertina, an
instrument similar to an
accordian, in our bands, and
I own two of them.”’
He's also taught drums
part-time in the past and is
considering taking on a few
students here in the Fall. He
and his wife like to travel,
visiting historical sites
whereever they go, and he
spends much time reading,
mostly technical periodicals
concerning his field of work.
