voted that the authority group
shall supply the num-
bers needed.

dy to be put out + in bids for

Two new ordinances were a-

held in the council chambers.
One ordinance concerns the
placement of sidewalks and
curbs by property owners on
improved stree.s. If the owner
asked to comply with this or-
der fails to do so, a fine of $25,
$50 or 5 days in jail may be im-
posed
The other ordinance concerns
the fire hazards on the outside
of local buildings. The ordinance
states that a fine of $100 - $300
or thirty days in jail will be im-
posed if the property*® owner
failed to clean up the condi-
The fire chief was named
the inspector in this order.
Alley To Be Opened
The group decided to open a
tions
proposed alley between North
Market Street and an alley
which runs parallel to North
Barbara Street. The alley is
par.ially opened at the edge of
the borough park. The alley
will be completed in order that
the new homes built on Detwil-
er Avenue will have rear en-
frances to garages to he built.
Also discussed was the open-
South Delta Street from

A request was also issued to
the group for the opening of a
new street between Marieita

Heisey Discharged
Acting on the recommenda-
tion of Burgess Tiius Rutt, the
courcil members decided to
discharge Raymond Heisey from
the police force of the borough.
James Hockenberry was exon-
erated for 1948 and 1949 taxes.
This action completes all back
taxes of the former tax collect-
nr
The tax duplicate was turned
wer to tax collector George
Brown. Exonerations for $393.-
50 for 1953 were accepled by
the group
Insurance Increased

house.s' orage sheds and dwell-
ng located on the borough park
srounds have increased in val-
uo since the last appraisal, an
increas> in insurance was made
by the group
A State College concern ask-
ed for the job of codifing the
ordinances of Mount Joy. The
ordinances have never been

would be $1,600, the grotip de-
cided to table the mat er until
the December meeting when
they prepare next year's budget.
