Quite a Problem
o Boro Authority
The Mount Joy Boro Authority
eld a meeting Monday evening
ith all its members, Paul Mueller,
altorney; and Joseph A. Michels,
engineer, present.
It was decided to advertise for
bids for all material required to
improve the water system.
It was mentioned that the State
Highway Department contemplates
and improving Main
street in the very near future. If
sufficient material can be procured
hy the Authority it will lay cross
sections on Main street in advance
of the State’s work.
It appears though the $64
question now confronting the Au-
thority was water meters. As is, it
was argued, the Authority loses
money by careless consumers. If
meters are installed it will make an
additional annual expense of sev-
yal thousand dollars for reading,

It is however understood that the
Authority will meter industries,

consumers. As to ordinary con-
sumers, nothing has been definitely
decided.

Old Timers At
Aute Club Picnic
Last Thursday
An estimated 20,000 persons at-
tended the 33rd annual picnic of
the Lancaster Automobile club held
last Thursday at Hershey Park.
For many, it was an annual re-
union and the picnic drew many
old-timers.
Mrs. Cora Garden, seventy-three

erating from a recent illness. But
she managed to attend. The heat
was too exhausting and she spent a
part of the day in the care of a
nurse.
There was one casualty,
Sumpman, nine, Mt. Joy RI,

George E. Summers, Atglen,
member of the club for 35 years,

Gap Rl, attended on her wheel

from his stand in the Post office
building to attend.
Last but not least, everybody had
a swell time.

Wayne Stauffer
Farm Last Nite
A very destructive fire occurred
on the Wayne Stauffer farm, be-

which started about 8:45.
According to Mr. Stauffer. he
and several employes were work-
ing in the fields when he noticed
what appeared to be a ball of flame
in the center of the building. By
the time he reached the barn,
Stauffer said, the structure was a
mass of flames.
The exact cause of the fire was
not fully determined but, according
to the owner, it could have been an
electrical short circuit. Stauffer
said there was no hay or other
combustible material in the center
of the building where the fire is be-
lieved to have originated.
When the fire broke out, Stauffer
said, all his livestock and equip-
{ment were in the fields. However
{he did lose about 3,000 bales of
hay, and large amounts of straw,
wheat, barley and oats, in addition
to a lime grinder on which he plac-
ed little value.
Stauffer estimated the loss to the
barn at $25,000 while the contents
he valued at $4,000. In addition to
the barn, the roof of an adjoining
stone milkhouse was also damaged,
he said.
In fighting the blaze, the firemen

SUPERVISORS & AUDITORS
OPPOSE TRUCK WEIGHTS
The two-hundred and fifty mem-
bers of the Lancaster#®County Twp.
Supervisors & Auditors Association
at a recent meeting charged that
any increase in Penna. truck
weights would speed-up ruination
of our secondary roads.
John Weaver, Secretary of the
group, urged all local members of
the House of Representatives to
oppose the big-truck bill to raise
truck weights as much as 15,000
pounds. He said a vote against the
bill would be a vote for the preser-
vation, not the destruction, of our
secondary roads.
