Council Passed Ordinance
Over Burgess Lerphey’s Veto
Shrubbery at Former Kuhn Home
Will Be Moved to Borough Park
meeting Monday
to 1 to override
Burgess Elmer Zerphey's veto of
an ordinance adopted last month
to vacate a portion of Sassafras Al-
ley in the borough.
The ordinance will vacate a 286
foot section of the alley between
Jacob and Chestnut Sts. to permit
the James Mfg. Co. to construct
and maintain a railroad siding for
loading and unloading freight cars.
The property is the former
George Brown Sons mill which has
been leased to the James Co.. Fort
Atkinson, Wis. The new industry
which manufactures incubators and
other poultry and farm equipment,
hopes to begin operations by Jan-
uary 15.
Councilmen favoring the move
in the balloting were: Robert Kel-
Lester Hostetter, Lloyd Myers.
Clayton Newcomer and Harold
Krall. Councilman Paul Stehman,
Jr., cast the “no” vote.
In vetoing the ordinance.
gess Zerphey was concerned with
the convenience of the public. He
said in his letter of veto that “the
street is used regularly by residents
to reach the Pennsylvania Railroad
Council at a
x
evening voted 5
ler,
Bur-
Freight Station, as a means of
leaving the borough by Longe-
necker Road, and generally as a
by-pass to avoid Main St. traffic.”
+ Suggestions were immediately
made for extending another dead-
end street, on the opposite side of
the railroad tracks, to eliminate the
complaints of the burgess and sev-
eral residents.
The session also gave council an
opportunity to conduct an informal
public hearing when residents were
asked to voice their opinion on the
B type of zoning for a new 30-acre
development which has heen an-
nexed to the boro. The territory
fronting on the Harrisburg Pike
extending in depth 200 feet will be
commercial.
It was reported that signs have
now been erected on three streets.
putting one way traffic into effect
in these areas. As a result traffic
will proceed south on Poplar St.
from Columbia Ave. to South Al-
ley; east on South Alley, from Pop-
lar St. to South Market St.; and
west on South Alley, from Poplar
St. to Pinkerton Road.
