The Tower House herein re- ferred to was formerly used as a private residence by its own- er, Clarence Schock. Since Aug. 27, 1953, it is owned by the Mt. Joy school district, and Clarence Schock is acting as caretaker of the property including the en- | tire tract of 1105 acres. As care- taker, Clarence Schock is auth- orized to appoint substitutes: to help in caring for the property because of his physical disabili- ty, which prevents him from being present on the premises as often as desirable. Associates of Clarence Schock in The SICO Company will assist, and a watchman has been installed in the Tower House to guard the property, the results of which are hereinabove stated. | The school district of the Borough of Mount Joy will not be required under the terms of the deed to use any tax money to pay the cost of maintenance | of the property. The SICO Com- pany has contributed for this purpose and will continue to so contribute so long as it exists. Many lovers of Mount Gretna’ are still interested in tramping up to “Governor Dick”. Accor- | dingly, it is fitting to forget the lack of appreciation displayed by youthful vandals in destruction at and near “Gov- peaceful community such as Mount Gretna,” states Mr. Schock.

This tower will be of | monolithic reinforced concrete construction and steel with the | exception of a small amount of | pro- vide the background for the ver- tical ladders. The ladders will] be of steel and all else except | the wood backboard will be of | concrete. There will be two | shafts in this structure—one for going up and one for coming | down. The dimensions of these shafts will be 32 in. x 68 in. and the platforms, located 7 ft. | 4 in. apart, will measure only | a2 in. x 40 in., leaving a hatch | for the ladders to pass through | measuring 28 in. x 32 in. The | climber will go up on the ver- tical ladder with its wooden backboard which makes it saf- er than any stairway, and the distance from platform to plat- form will be only 7 ft. 4 in. These platforms will give a resting place and will be big en- ough to make space for two people to stand on comfortably whenever that may be neces- sary. At each platform there will be openings in the wall of the tower to provide sufficient | light for the climber of the lad- ders to see. The top of the reinforced con- crete roof will be 66 ft. above the first floor of the tower, and will be surrounded by an iron fence 4 ft. high, thereby mak- ing it impossible for snow to accumulate on the roof and melt and penetrate the concrete structure and freeze and there- by disintegrate the concrete. The roof will extend beyond the outer walls of the tower not less than one foot, thereby | providing a cornice from which | the water will drain without | running down on the side of | the tower. | This tower will be open for | public use in accordance with a near its entrance reading as fol- | lows: “This tower may be used | only at the risk of the user.” [1 Any person not in the habit | § of climbing ladders such as are | : provided in this tower can] quickly learn by a trial for a| short distance whether or not | he or she can continue to climb | to the top.
