Mount Joy boro council
receives alley petition
At the meeting of the
Mount Joy Borough Council
this past Monday night
residents of Donegal
Springs Road submitted
petitions asking to annex
dead-end unused alleys to
their properties.
Council authorized pre-
advertisement of a new
ordinance regarding dan-
gerous structures which the
borough can ask owners to
repair.
Approval was given to the
police department to buy a
new typewriter.
Appletree Alley will be
made one-way from Barbara
Street west to Market Street
for a 90-day trial period.
Pre-advertisement was
authorized for an ordinance
converting a tract of land
along Lefever Road from
high density residential to
medium density residential.
Approval was given to
pre-advertising an ordi-
nance requiring a fee and
two-year guarantee of the
work, whenever a street
surface is opened to repair
utility lines.
Approval was given for
subdivisions of their proper-
ties requested by Warren H.

Donegal Street; Jay R. and
Victoria M. Hess, 457

Approval was also given
for Penn DOT to award the
contract for reconstruction
of Lefever Road to George

Terrace Avenue.
An invitation for bids for a
new automobile for the
