VOL. XXXIV No. 40
Best Step Forward
Here In Many Yrs.
Council Bought 10-Acre Plot
With Part of Park Money
Balance of the $10,000 Will Be Used
To Improve the Ground
‘When Boro Council sold our park to the Government for $10,-
000, many people were pleased and a number were displeased.
Be that neither here nor there, the ottcome of the sale is now de-
veloping.
The park as it was, in recent years, was really no earthly good
or benefit to anyone except as a beauty spot, its maintenance
being an expense to the boro. Even sitting therein was forbid-
den. 7
In its stead, ere long, we will have a magnificent and artistical-
ly designed postofiice building.
The money derived from the sale of this plot will bring more
recreation, pleasure and satisfaction to our town and its people
than twenty-five parks.
At a special meeting of Boro Council Friday night a plot of ap-
proximately ten acres of land, a brick double house, stone quar-
ry, etc, were purchased. This plot, ideally located, will be con-
verted into a park and recreation center and will be owned by
the boro.
Said plot is located in thé north central part of the town. It is
bounded on the west by North Market street, on the north by the |
Manheim road, on the east by North Barbara street and on the
south by half a dozen property owners.
Entrance to this plot will be made from Detwiler Avenue,
North Barbara street, Manheim street and North Market street. |
The plot cost the boro $1,235.00 and the difference between this |
amount and the $10,000 received for the park will be spent on
improvements. |
It is Council’s intention to apply for CWA money to pay for!
the labor in improving the plot. The tract has been ordered sur-
veyed and immediately thereafter it will be designed, plotted, |
planned and planted.
It is more than likely that trees will surround the entire tract. |
The ground is ideally located and has wonderful possibilities. As|
soon as the work can be done it is Council's intention to have |
several base ball diamonds, foot ball field, tennis courts, croquet |
courts, quoit boxes, a swimming pool, an outdoor amphitheatre, |
electric lights throughout, shrubbery, flowers, rock gardens, am-|
ple seating all over the grounds and everything else pertaining to!
the entertainment of both old and young.
This is certainly a step in the right direction.
developing the above, Council done more toward the progress of |
our boro than has been accomplished here in many years.
Then one must remember that this will not be a tax burden to |
With CWA assistance and nearly $9,000 in cash, |
By planning and |
our citizens.
wonderful improvements can be made. Then too, the revenue |
that can be derived from athletic events should maintain the plot. |
It is quite natural if we want people to live here, they must
have sufficient inducements. A recreation center, like the one
planned, filtered water, good schools, good churches, fine streets,
good lighting, moderate taxes, etc., are all quite essential. We
have them and we do not know of another boro in the county that |
can boast of all these advantages.

The resolution was in support of a

RESPONSIBLE FOR BAINBRIDGE |
LADS DEATH
Testimony was heard in argument |
court on an appeal filed by the Penn- |
sylvania Railroad Company protesting
a $400 verdict recently rendered in the
death of William Bachman, 16, Bain-
bridge, who was killed December 27,
1933, while coasting over a railroad
crossing in Bainbridge.
B. J. Myers, esq., representing the P.
R. R. contended the railroad company
was in no way negligent and that suf-
ficient warning had been sounded at
the crossing. He further contended the
youth should have “stopped, looked
and listened.”
Charles W. Eaby, counsel for the
boy’s father, H. E. Bachman, in argu-
ing against the move by the railroad
company, declared the youth had not
been given sufficient warning of the
approach of an engine that was run-
ning “light” from Columbia to Harris-
burg.
No one saw the actual accident, it
was brought out during the trial, but
the body of the youth was found along
the tracks after the engine had passed.
