The Oldest House
In Mount Joy Boro
Our readers are still wrestling
with the Oldest House In Mt. Joy
problem, but to date we have noth-
ing definite. We are more than
pleased for the many suggestions to
date and certainly appreciate, any
information on this widely discus-
sed subject.
Appended are several suggestions
on more old houses in the boro.
Albert Mumma on S. Barbatu
says his grandmother was born in
1845 and as a little girl visited at
the Farmers Inn which was then a
distillery. Her grandmother’s name
was Tangert and they lived there.
The John Eberle property, corner
of Barbara and East Donegal Sts.
is just as old, he says.
Dorothy Wagner at Lancaster,
writes she has a “Picture of the
building, when it Mount
Joy Herald, run by J. R. Hoffer,
ninety years ago. At that time Main
street was a dirt road.”
The building referred to is now
Zerphey's Gas Station.
Now that so many have tried to
name the oldest building in town,
the editor will, in the very
future, publish a brief description |
of which actually is
building. But, in the

Many Advantages
To Be Had With
Joint Schools
In a news letter by the school
directors of East Donegal township
they say: Since our last letter an
actual jointure has been made. We
have agreed to build a joint junior-
senior high school with Mt. Joy
and Marietta Boroughs. Our archi-
tect is the Buchart Engineering
Corporation of York, Pennsylvania.
They have been the architects for
most of the schools in this area. Ap-
plications has been made to secure
federal funds for the architect's fee.
If such a grant is made, it must be
repaid if a school is built. It need
not be repaid if no building is built.
At the present time, the joint
boards are discussing methods of
financing the project. It can be done
by borrowing from the state or by
forming a local authority.
In this issue, we would like to
give the advantages our students
