A
THE MOUNT JOY BU
VOLUME XV11. NO. 15
AUTOISTS SHOULD
RESPECT THE LAW
JUST KEEP ON SPEEDING ON
MAIN STREET, MOUNT JOY,
AND WE WILL SET A FEW
EXAMPLES.
Now that the local authorities have
greatly improved Main street, in this
place, which is over a mile in length,
our Burgess, Boro Council, business
men and citizens kindly ask autoists
to have some respect for this town
when passing thru. The good condi-
tion of our street is too tempting to
many of them and there is no limit
to the speed of their machines. We
do not care to follow the footsteps
of Columbia, Marietta, Middletown,
and other places, by making whole-
sale arrests, but only ask auto drivers |
to respect the state law. If this re-
quest does not bring the desired re-
sult, examples will be made of some
of the offenders and you can rest
assured that violators are not all non-
residents of this town.
At the suggestion of Council, Mr.
H. M. Stauffer, of the Street commit-
tee, was instructed to appeal to the
County Auto Club relative to thk
matter. Following is his letter to
Secretary Forney, of the Club:
“Mount Joy Borough in connection
with the L. E. & M. Turnpike Com-
pany has rebuilt the L. E. & M
Turnpike (our Main street) from the
Eastern to the Western Borough
limits, a distance of about 11% miles.
This stretch of good road is al-
ready tempting many drivers to ‘let
er spin.”
As yet we have done nothing to
lower the speed limits allowed by the
state law; namely 24 miles per
hour. If, however, the tendency to
ignore this limit continues we will
have to take advantage of our right
to reduce the limit to fifteen miles
per hour and insist on its observance.
All of this we believe is along the
lines your organization is trying to
accomplish and we therefore suggest
that this matter be brought to the
attention of pur members so as to
assist us in regulating the traffic in a
decently and orderly manner.
The big majority of the drivers
appreciate these local conditions but
it is the few reckless ones who bring
all into disrepute and in many in- |
stances leads to wholesale arresting |
for violations.
May we depend on your co-opera-
tion?

TYPHOID FEVER GRIPS |
EAST PETERSBURG |
East Petersburg is in the grip of a
typhoid fever epidemic, there being |
twenty-six cases reported in that vi-
cinity. During the past twenty-four
hours nine new cases of the disease |
have been reported. No deaths have |
resulted as yet from the plague. |
Thurday morning the health officers |
completed the work of taking samples
of water in the wells and cisterns.
These samples will be chemically ana-
lyzed to determine whether or not the
water supply is contaminated. Dras-
tic measures are under consideration
to stamp out the disease. \

WHY RURAL DISTRICTS
DON’T GET PROPER CREDIT
There seems to be quite a bit of
dissatisfaction among the rural dis-
tricts in this county because they do
not get credit for men who enlisted
before the draft began and Lancaster
City was given credit for all such en-
listments. Postmaster J. Willis Freed
informs us that the recruiting depart-
ment at Lancaster gave as the reas-
on that they enlisted there when they
should have applied to the respective
postmasters in the various rural dis-
tricts. Every postmaster in the
county (except in first-class offices)
can receive applicants, after which
they are sent to the proper authori-
| ties and under these conditions each
| district gets credit for all its enlist-
| ments.

of the junk company, was the prose-

fendants of being guilty of the of-

New Trolley Line Soon
Indications point to the construc-
tion of another trolley line in Lan-
caster comnty as soon as laber can
be secured. The line will extend
from Manheim to Hershey, which will
open a splendid section, thickly in-
habited and through fine scenery.
Rights of way are being secured as
rapidly as possible. This will com-
plete trolley connection between
Harrisburg and Philadelphia.
