Marietta Borough moves on factory renovation
The Marietta Borough
Council took steps at last
week’s meeting to clear the
way for conversion of the
former Sylvania Shoe Corp.
factory building into an
apartment complex.
Council members voted to
rezone the land from
industrial to R-60 residential
for the Lancaster-based
Historic Landmarks for
Living, Inc. The building is
located at Pine and East
Walnut Streets and will be
converted into a 26-unit
deluxe apartment complex.
Construction is slated to
begin in two months, and
officials hope that apart-
ments will be ready by the
end of the year. Parking for
52 vehicles will be provided
off Pine Street.
In further action, a
resolution was adopted
establishing the new trash
collection fee at $8 per|
quarter, retroactive to Jan.
L
Council decided to adver-
tise a vacancy in the chief of
police post. Sergeant Steven
Englert, in a related matter,
will have a salary increase to
the level received by former
chief of police James Millar,
retroactive to Jan. 1.
Under the police tenure
act, Millar was released last
month for medical dis-
abilities.
The Council heard from
David Nesbit, a represent-
ative of the Lancaster
County Redevelopment
Authority. Nesbit explained
how council could seek
matching funds from the
state Department -of Com-
munity Affairs for more
development in the bo-
rough.
Requirements to obtain
the funds are housing and
building codes, Nesbit said.
The borough is currently
updating its housing code,
and plans are underway to
adopt a building code.
Preparing the funding
application will be Larry
Gillham, Jay Roberts, Cal-
vin Fuhrman and Ronald
Perry.
Dan Lake, borough en-
gineer, said a meeting will
be held next week with Penn
Central to find out what land
is available to the borough
along the north side of the
rail line. If the borough
could acquire this land, it
would be landscaped to
beautify the area prior to the
reconstruction of Front
Street.
The borough has received
federal funds in the amount
of $27,000 for the purchase
of the land.
Council accepted a pro-
posal from Patrick Kenney.
Jr., a member of the Human
Relations Council, that the
borough hire Marietta youth
in a summer work program.
James Wise was appoint-
officer,
ed alternate to the Zoning
Board and Francis Allum
was appointed alternate to
the housing board.
The resignation of Calvin
Fuhrman as borough hous-
ing inspector was regretfully
accepted. Margaret Booth,
borough secretary, was
appointed temporary hous-
ing officer.
Gordon Diem, zoning
reported that a
variance was granted on a
request by Estella Hudson
to subdivide her property at
248-250 W. Walnut Street.
Harold Kulman was
granted permission to con-
vert his
single family
dwelling at 282 W. Market
Street into a duplex. Clyde
and Ruth Andrews were
given a certificate of use and
occupancy for their newly
constructed garage at 460 E.
Front Street.
An ordinance has been
adopted requiring owners of
apartment complexes to
forward tenants names on a
quarterly basis for tax
purposes.
No parking signs will be
installed on both sides of
Mulberry Street from Apple
Alley to W. Walnut Street.
Bus stop signs will be placed
in the square.
E. Donegal Supervisors
East Donegal Township
Supervisors, at their Thurs-
day night meeting, began

Defeat Penn Manor
look toward playofis
The section three champ-
ionship was decided last
Wednesday night when the
Donegal girls avenged their
one defeat by Penn Manor
in League play, by trouncing
the Manor girls in a playoff
game, 54-36.
The Donegal girls were
never behind, and although
outscored in the final
quarter, were never in
danger of losing the game.
They now play McCaskey
High School, which defeated
Lebanon in another playoff
Wednesday night, for the
championship of the Lancas-
ter-Lebanon League this
Tuesday night in Hershey.
Then come the division
championships.
As of now, almost any-
thing is possible for the girls
of Donegal who, with a
couple exceptions, have had
a big winning year.
