Friday and Saturday. Friday, at
12:30 p.m., they were summon-
ed to a house owned by Phillip
Kelly located on Cedar Lane.
Fainters, who were protecting
the floor with canvass, had
placed the material on top of the
furnace register. The furnace
pilot light caused the canvass
and a portion of the flooring a-
round the register to burn since
the canvass smothered the flame.
The blaze was discovered by
Charles C. Mumma, Lancaster,
a bread truck driver who was
passing by. Ray Myers, fire
chief, estimated the damage at
$50.00. The home was unoccu-
pied since Mr. Kelly moved to
Seattle, Wash. He was having
the home newly decorated be-
fore selling it.

‘More Free
Areas May
Be Created
Ways and means for improv-
ing parking conditions in Mount
Joy occupied the attention of
the Retail Merchants this week.
Business men participated in
discussions Monday and Tues-
day night.
On Monday night, representa-
tives of the Retail Merchants
appeared before borough coun-
cil with a petition requesting
that parking meter restrictions
be removed at 6 p. m. Friday
and Saturday nights. The me-
ters now are in operation until
6 p. m. every day except Friday
and Saturday, when they are
effective until 9 p. m.
On Tuesday night, at their
regular meeting to which mem-
bers of the borough council had
been invited, the merchants dis-
cussed the matter with Council-
man James B. Spangler who ap-
peared as representative of the
council.
Since relatively
ground was covered at both
meetings, The Bulletin will
summarize the chief points of
discussion:
1. The merchants
create the best possible shop-
ping conditions. The petition
was the outgrowth of a feeling
that the lifting of meter restrie-
tions at 6 p. m. would permit
the advertising of free parking
on Friday and Saturday nights,
thus attracting more business
to the community.
9
the same
desire to
Council members did not
agree with this view. They ex-
pressed the opinion that the me-
ters speed up parking space
turn-over and thus attract shop-
pers because they are better
able to find parking spaces.
Merchants pointed out that
this is not necessarily true, since
for a motorist to
a
o.
m. and thus tie up that space
for the two hours the stores are
open for evening shoppers.
4. Council .members agreed
and suggested that considera-
tion might be given to a one
hour parking limitation.
5 members stated
that the parking meters are an
important of revenue,
bringing about $600 monthly te
the borough now, with the take
to around $1200
monthly when the meters are
paid off in approximately anoth-
er year. They estimate that cut-
ting off the meters at 6 p. m. on
Friday and Saturdays would
take about $40 each night from
borough revenues.
6. Spangler Tuesday night
suggested that consideration
might be given to enlarging the
parking areas along the railroad
tracks and offered to ask the
council to survey the possibili-
