(Photo by Marshall Dussinger) Authority Votes To Begin Samuel Harnish Street Repai Mount Joy Borough Auth- ority Tuesday night voted to begin paving work at once to repair streets where sew- er lines have been laid. The work will continue as fast as the streets are considered to have settled sufficiently. A proposal that has been under consideration for the complete resurfacing of Mt. Joy Street, with the Authori- ty, and United Gas Improve- ment Company and the Bor- ough Council each paying a portion, was abandoned.. Council members George Groff, Lester Hostetter, Wil- liam Dommel, Charles J. Bennett and Lloyd Myers were present. They express- ed the view that the street should be patched the same as other streets, pointed out that the borough does not have the funds for a com- plete resurfacing job.. W. H. Hornafius asked what he would be required to do to get sewers, water and street for Plum street, between Birchland avenue and Cedar lane. The Author- ity agreed to install the wa- ter, but told Mr. Hornafius that he would be assessed for the sewers on the regular basis of $4.50 per foot and $200 for each connection. The laying of the street would be a matter for Mr. Hornafius to work out with the borough, it was pointed out. Mr. Hornafius also asked what woudd be required if he purchased property for development on both sides of Delta street, or on just one side. He was told that he would be expected to bear the entire cost if he owned the property on both s’des, but the Authority agreed that he could install the sew- er himself under Authority supervision. Agreement was reached with John W. Melhorn, who was present with his attorn- ey, Clarence C. Newcomer, on rights of way. The Authority took under adv'sement cost estimates submitted by C. & T. Affili- ates for laying of a line at levels of from 16 to 20 feet, instead of 16 to 18 as provid- ed in the contract. The new depth carries a $27.50 per foot cost as compared to $8.95 for the depths covered by the contract. It would add approximately $11,000 to the cost of the project. The add- ed depth was necessitated by relocation of the line. reer. (eee BALL POINT PENS ARRIVE AT P. O. Ball point pens have ar- rived for public use in the Incal post office!
