A Non-Suit
Is Ordered
BALTIMORE MAN, HURT AT A
HORSE SALE AT COLEBROOK,
SUED FOR DAMAGES FOR HIS
INJURIES
Judge Atlee ordered a non-suit in
the case where Emanuel Sachs of
Baltimore, was the plaintiff in an
action to recover damages as the re-
sult of being injured by a horse.
Sachs brought suit against Elmer
H. Witmer, of Mastersonville, and
Jacob G. Hershey, of Manheim, to
recover for a fractured leg which he
claimed he suffered while attending
a horse sale conducted by the two
defendants at Colebrook, Lebanon
county, on August 8, 1931.
Judge Atlee made his ruling on a
motion of J. W. Brown and W. Hen-
sel Brown, attorneys for the two
Lancaster county men. The attor-
neys claimed that Sachs and his wit-
nesses did not present evidence to
show that the horse that injured
Sachs was vicious and that the two
defendants were negligent in handl-
ing the animal.
Sachs testified that he was
ployed as a salesman for a horse
and mule dealer of Baltimore and
attended the sale with the intention
of purchasing some animals. He
claimed that the defendants did not
have a barrier erected between the
space where the horses were exhib-
ited and the space where the aud-
ience stood.
In addition to the plaintiff, Wood-
land B. Jackson, Lancaster, and Mr.
Amos Shenk, farmer, of West Done-
gal township, were witnesses for the
plaintiff.

On Our Water Consumers
MANY CONNECTIONS THRUOUT
THE TOWN FROM WHICH THE
BORO WAS NOT RECEIVING
ANY COMPENSATION ARE DIS-
COVERED
For the first time since the writer
has been a resident of Mount Joy
(forty years, if our memory is cor-
rect) Mount Joy Borough is checking
and double checking on water con-
sumers.
When Mr. Bailey suceceeded the
late Jacob H. Zeller as boro secre-
tary, there was no accurate item-
ized list of water renters available.
Neither were the rates available.
At the September meeting of the
Council it was reported that there
was no record to be found anywhere
giving the various water rates to the
consumers in Mount Joy. At that
time the editor of the Bulletin vol-
unteered to furnish a copy of the
ordinance covering the boro.
On August 1, 1892, a trifle over 42
years ago, Mount Joy Boro Council
passed an ordinance fixing all the
water rates to consumers. At that
time the late Henry L. Stager was
burgess and the late Frank G. Pen-
nell, father of our present assistant
postmistress Miss Emma Pennell was
boro clerk.
These rates have been in force ev-
ey and Check
er since but Councils records of the
same very mysteriously disappeared.
Fortunately, the writer, among many
other valuable records, had a book
containing all the boro ordinances,
rules, regulations and by-laws of
Council and the Water Works. This
book was compiled by the late. Hen-
ry L. Stager, Harry C. Schock and
Francis M. Harry and published by
authority of Council in 1892.
Referring to the ordinance there is
a penalty for any plumber or indi-
vidual to make any connection to
the water mains anywhere at any
time without a permit. The fine for
the offense is $25.00.
In order to establish a permanent
record, the Water Committee has
Supervisor Henry Smeltzer and Geo.
Halbleib making a complete survey
of the town. The latter is making a
house to house canvas.
Already nearly a dozen bath tubs,
half a dozen lawn fountains, pools,
and dozens of extra spigots have
been recorded for which there were
no charges for the use of water from
same.
When the work is completed, a
perfect record of all water consum-
ers will be on file. Hereafter any
additional connections made without
a permit, will cost the person or per-
sons concerned, a fine and costs.
