More Parking Meters
Groff made a motion that was
carried and voted unanimously,
that council check the poss bili-
ty of creating additional park-
ing areas along the railroad
tracks. President Myers appoint-
ed a special committee to inves-
tigate the project, Mr. Bailey,
Mr. Spangler and Mr. Dommell.
A request for an alley behind
the Hank property on Marietta
Avenue could not be considered
at the present time. Both prop-
erty owners on either
not have plans for alleys in their
deeds. Some agreement must
first be worked out with the
neighbors. A revision in the
prices for openings in the bor-
ough streets was discussed and
side do |
the information was turned over
to Harris Arnold, solicitor who
attended Monday night's mect-
ing. A revised ordinance will be
drawn up to cover the matter.
The group decided to have
the firehouse stokers inspected
and overhauled. After a lengthy
discussion concerning water
drainage on individual property
owners’ land was reverted back
to the property committee for
acting.
Mr. Arnold was also asked to
check into the possibility of sub-
stituting oil for needy persons
instead of coal as authorized in
three coal funds. Bills to the a-
mount of $1,432 were ordered
paid.

Hears Easter
Message
Mount Joy Rotarians at
luncheon meeting Tuesday heard
an Easter message by the Rev.
Raymond L. Fetter, pastor of
Christ Lutheran church, Eliza-
bethtown. The speaker was in-
troduced by the Rev. W. L. Ko-
der, pastor of Trinity Lutheran
church, Mount Joy.
The Rev. Mr. Fetter spoke on
“Why Jesus Died
answered many
their
the subject,
on the Cross,”
of the misconceptions that crit-
ics have advanced concerning
the Cross and the Resurrection.
Primary reason for Christ's
death on the cross, Mr. Fetter
pointed out, was “to reveal to
us the love of a forgiving God,”
as told in the New Testament
(John 3:16); “For God so loved
the world that He gave His only
begotten son that whosoever be-
lieveth on Him shall not perish,
but have everlasting life.”
Since God is the giver of life
and death is separation from
God, the spcaker declared, the
Resurrection was God's victory
over death, and assurance
Christ's followers of everlasting
life.
