Mr. William Balabanow,
with the Consumer Protec-
tion Agency, talked to the
group regarding the pur-
pose of the agency. He also
outlined the steps to take if
someone has problems with
a piece of merchandise or a
contract.
Two ladies from the Office
of Aging also attended the
meeting, signing up mem-
bers and distributing the
new Discount Booklets.
President Joe Shaeffer
called the business session
to order, Teressa Heisey
presented the secretary’s
report, and Almeda Hostet-
ter read the treasurer’s
report. Minnie Tucker, of

the next phase could begin.
‘Phase one’’ is virtually
completed. Under the orig-
inal plan, a permanent
sewage treatment plant and
storm drainage system
would have to be completed
before ‘‘phase two’’ could
begin. Also, under the
original plan, a large
percentage of the ‘‘phase
two'’ housing was to have
been single-family dwell-
ings.
Developer Julius Goldfarb
of Maytown Associates,
builders of Country Village
on the former Endslow
farm, asked that the sewage
improvements be postponed
and that a larger percentage
of multiple-family units—
semi-detached homes,
townhouses, etcetera—be
permitted.
Mr. Goldfarb explained
that expensive homes are
not selling well today
because of high interest
rates, and that profits from
the low-income housing are
necessary to raise money to
complete the sewer and
drainage improvements in
the plan.
Citizens voiced a wide
range of objections. Many
said they'd no idea that a
project of this size had been
contemplated in Maytown.
Others worried that local
schools, utilities, roads,
police protection, etcetera
would have to be drastically
expanded at taxpayer ex-
pense, and that low-income
newcomers would not add
enough money to the tax
base for improved services.
Dr. John Brown, of the
local planning commission,
said that the planners were
unhappy with the proposed
variance, and recommended
denial by the township
supervisors. Dr. Brown said
that he preferred ‘‘natural,
gradual’ growth outward
from Maytown, and that the
developer’s proposals left
‘““many unanswered ques-
tions."’
the Sunshine Committee,
reported two cards sent to
shut-ins during the past
month.
Members signed up for a
bus trip to Longwood
Gardens, scheduled for
Friday, December 12. The
bus will leave from the rear
of the United Methodist
Church at 1:00 pm. It will
stop at Frey's Christmas
store and Harvest Drive
restaurant for a family style
dinner, and then travel to
Longwood Gardens for the
evening.
The annual Leisure Club
Christmas party and dinner
will be held at Hostetters
Monday evening, December
15, beginning at 6:00 pm. A
special entertaining pro-
gram will be part of the
evening’s fun.
Maytown meeting (cont.)
If the variance is denied,
the whole project may well
be indefinitely postponed,
since the original plan
seems to be economically
unfeasible at this time.
Alternatively, the developer
could appeal a negative
decision by the supervisors.
The supervisors will make
their decision within sixty
days.
