You Have The Connecting Link Between The Wise Merchant And The Judicious Ce Mount Joy Bulletin
[AN EDITORIAL
After many requests for suggestions on a suitable and ap-
propriate memorial for veterans of World War 11, the consensus
of opinions centered on improvement of our Boro Park. At a
recent meeting of our Memorial committee, the subject was dis-
cussed and it was the general impression that marked park im-
provements would, for the present, have serious consideration,
even to the extent of raising a $50,000 fund for the purpose.
Since all of the above, several news items which appeared
in last week's Bulletin, may, to some extent put a different as-
pect on the Park proposition.
A SUGGESTION
It is the writer's privilege ta broadcost several suggestions
for thought to Boro Council, our Town Planning and Zoning com-
mission, all our citizens and particularly the Memorial commitee,
By a new realty and development company putting in an ap-
pearance here, acquiring a 77-acre plot of ground nearly all of
which is within the boro limits, and all of which is adjacent to
the Little Chickies creek on the West, offers an opportunity to
really do things in a “big way” if our citizens see fit.
The Water Right
The Joy Company, when it purchased the Snyder farm ac-
quired a water right thru the old mill there, which extends from
the State Highway North approximately several miles (following
the creek) io the Boro Water Works. This water right for which
the purchasers have absolutely no use, could as we understand
be purchased.
Boro Council or the Remembrance committee, purchased
same, how's this as a suggestion:
First: Rebuild the dam near the Mill, making it high enough
to give the citizens many bathing advantages (such as we en-
joyed for many years until the dam washed out) thereby taking
the place of the execution and maintenance of an expensive
pool.
Second: This would give us ample water for motor and sail
boaling, most excellent canoeing along with skating and ice
hockey in Winter.
Third: There are sturdy oak, elm, buttonwood and willow
trees along said stream, some of the oldest and largest in this
section. We refer to Snyder's Woods.
Fourth: The open field or peninsula in Snyder's woods could
be converted into one cf the best athletic fields in the State.
Fifth: With improvements to the creek as above mentioned,
it could be stocked and would afford men, women and children
excellent fishing.
Sixth: There are several good springs along this stream which
could be “dolled up” and which would refresh the thousands
who would go there annually for their favorite recreation.
Seventh: The stone dwelling adjacent toi the dam breast
could very easily be converted into a recreation center, bath
house, etc.
Nearly all of these advantages are lacking in, our present
park and it may be good business to convert our park into build-
ing lots, which would be a decided financial gain to Boro Coun-
cil and purchase Snyder's Woods and its water right for a boro
park.
There isnt a bore in this section cf the state has a possibility
staring it in the face as is Mount Joy Boro RIGHT NOW.
Now folks here's the suggestion—you can either take it or
leave it.
