NY FAMILIAR NAMES APPEAR
AMONG THE DIRECTORATE OF
THE MT. JOY BUILDING AND
SAVING ASSO.

How many of you know or ever
of the Mount Joy Building and
Saving Association? The writer
would say comparatively few.
In 1869 there was such an organi-
zation in Mount Joy. Its objects
were exactly same as those of our
Present Building and Loan Associa-
tion, namely: “To loan money to its
members for the erection of houses
buildings, or to purchase real es-
ite and to remove liens or other
wcumberances upon real estate own
d by its members, etc.”
Shares sold for exactly the same
amount then as they do today—$1.00
per share per month.
The one vast difference between
the Association then and now was:
Whenever there was $200 in the
treasury, instead of loaning it to ar
applicant, it was put up for bidding
among the members of the Associa-
tion and the one paying the highest
rate of interest, was given the loan.
Today all borrowers pay the same
rate of interest.
The old company imposed a pen-
alty of 25 cents upon each of its di
rectors for non-attendance at the
hour appointed.
Officers and Directors
It may be of interest to read the
list of officers and directors of this
Association of sixty-six years ago.
They are appended:
J. R. Hoffer, president.
Henry Shaffner, v. pres.
P. A. Pyle, treasurer.
H. Austin Brady, secy.
H. C. Kern, I. M. Groff and Mar:

Boro Council Applies For
$41,000 of CWA Money
The Work Includes Concreting & Raising
Reservoir, New Turbine. Lake, Park, &c.
President Althouse called a spec-
ial meeting of Mt. Joy Boro Council
last evening for the purpose of dis-
cussing the advisability of applying
for CWA funds and applying same to
various projects here as Council sees
fit. All the members of Council and
the Burgess were present.
Mr. Donaven stated that the ap-
portionment throughout the United
States was approximately $50 per
person. This would give Mount Joy
an allotment of $150,000.00. The
state proposes to pay all the labor on
any of numerous projects undertak
en by communities.

wheel with a modern and more
ficient turbine.

Mr. Althouse Said:
We don’t have the population that
we can afford a park. Even Lancas-
ter, with its population doesn’t have
one.
The more streets you open the
more expense you will have annually
in the maintenance of these addi-
tional streets.

Mr. Krall Said:
The future upkeep of our streets
will be less because the State has
taken over quite a portion.
The curb and gutters on West Main
street from Manheim street west, has
never been finished. This should be
completed.
A walk for pedestrians should be
laid between here and Florin.
He favors spending some of the
money at the water works. A new
turbine would greatly reduce our
monthly expense of pumping water,
Also excavate a lot of the land now
owned by the boro, thereby making

CHINE — DAMAGE WAS SLIGHT
How many of you stepped on the
brake during the past few weeks
and the old car started skidding for
somewhere, not knowing how, when
or where she would stop? Well, that
is what happened to Ezra Garber, of
Elizabethtown, RD, last Thursday.
He slowly approached the Penna.
Railroad tracks near the Bachman
Chocolate Factory at Florin. There
is a slight grade toward the tracks
at this point and Mr. Garber drove
cautiously. However, the wheels
locked, the car began skidding di=
rectly toward the tracks just
train happened along.
There was really nothing to be
done but fortunately the machine
stopped, but it was then so close to
the tracks that each step on an en-
tire train “nipped” the front of his
car, slightly damaging it.
Fortunately Mr. Garber escaped
uninjured but does not care for an-
other experience such as this.
The train stopped but upon learn-
ing the damage, immediately pro-
ceeded.

In a recent issue of the Bulletin
was published an item that S. H.
Miller, local superintendent of the
P. P. & L., had purchased at private
sale and on private terms, the Det-
wiler property on West Main St.
now occupied by Boyd Bishop as :
shoe store and dwelling.
Mr. Miller informs us that he will
make vast improvements thereabouts
in the early Spring as follows: The
present shoe store and repair shop
will be razed to the ground and will
be rerlaced by a two story brick
building 69 feet long and the width
of the plot. The ground floor will
be converted into a modern and up-
to-the-minute store room while an
apartment with all conveniences will
cccupy the second story.
Uron completion of this work the
entire front of the present dwelling
will also be converted into a mod-
ern store room with an apartment
in the rear and on the second floor.
In addition to the above improve-
ments Mr. Miller contemplates build-
ing a row of garages in the rear, the
entire width of the lot.

HERE IS A FORGERY
A warning was issued to business-

know the men personally with whom
che comes in contact and offers a
check, made payable to herself, sign-
ed by, presumably her husband, to
be cashed.
Constable Russell Houser and
Squire Clarence Diffenderfer of Mid-

tion, and have been given a check
which was received by a business-
man, and the cash given to the wo-
nan.
Alter the check came to the Union
