Mount Joy Seeks
Voting Machines
BURGESS W. D. CHANDLER PRE-
PARES TO ACT AS THE COUNTY
COURT LIFTS THE INJUNCTION
With the lifting of the temporary in-
junction banning the use of 40 voting
machines purchased by the Lancaster
county commissioners last year, offici-
als of Mount Joy borough, voters of
which decided last November to have
voting machines installed there, started
a drive to see that they are installed
in time for the elections this year, it
was learned Sunday night.
The last obstacle in the way of using
the machines in Lancaster city and
Elizabethtown borough this year was
removed on Saturday when Judge
John M. Groff, in a decision, dissolved
the temporary injunction, which was
brought into effect, as a result of a
complaint filed October 23, 1930, by
Robert E Lee Tomlin, of this city.
Although, by law, the county com-
missioners are not compelled to install
voting machines in Mount Joy until
one year after the favorable vote.
Burgess W. D. Chandler of Mount Joy
stated Sunday everting that he is in-
vestigating the situation and that he
will make every effort to have them
install in time for the Fall elections.
Burgess Chandler declared that the
residents of the borough confidently
expected to have the machines in-
stalled this year, but as no action has
been taken by the commissioners, he
stated that he is prepared to take ac-
tion.
The county now owns a total of 50
voting machines, ten of which have
been in use since the time of purchase
in the first two wards of the city. The
other 40 were to have been used in
the other voting districts of the city
and in Elizabethtown last Fall, but
their use was forestalled by the in-
junction granted Tomlin.
County commissioners intimated
Saturday that they have discussed the
purchase of other machines informally,
and that action will be taken in the
near future. With the exception of
Elizabethtown and Mount Joy, no
county voting districts have approved
the use of the machines.

marized today by officials of the Bu-
reau of Motor Vehicles.
Boroughs and incorporated towns
and cities now have a financial as well
as a safety interest in enforcing traffic

an amendment to the code all fines.
penalties and bail forfeited resulting
from violation of “Thru Highways”
and “Stop” signs within the limits of
such divisions are now to be paid to
the treasurer of the division in which
the offense occurred.
Funds resulting from such fines are
to be used in the construction, repair
and maintenance of highways. Here-
tofore, such money was collected by
the local authorities and turned over
to the State. Other fines collected are
disposed of in accordance with old
code.

has been extended to give that au-

Secretary of Highways. Previous to the
amendment such authority was given
