The school calendar provides that the spring vacation be whit- tled to take care of ‘snow days.” LS © 9 Although Mount Joy was practically paralyzed on Mon- day morning by Sunday night's snow storm, which continued for 24 hours and then drifted for another 12 hours, things came back to near normal in aimost record time. ®e © rd It seemed that people were able to dig out and to resume their normal duties a little more easily than on some other similar occasions. Berough mail men told Postmaster Elmer Zerphey that by Tuesday morning there were enough sidewalks shoveled out to make their deliveries considerably eas- ier. That, they appreciated. ® Oo @o Rural mail carriers were unable to do much on Mon- day and some places could not be reached on Tuesday. ® © @ There were a couple of cases which necessitated some special help from the Civilian Defense crew to get sick persons from their (From page 4) "BULLETIN DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTERESTS AND WELFARE OF MOUNT JOY AND ITS AREA VOL. 63.

Engineers Estimate Cost of Florin Project Will Be About $820,000; Start in Summer Attention to tentative en gineering plans for installing sewers in the Florin area of Mount Joy was given Tuesday night by the Borough Authority at its January meeting, held in the Authority office on East Main street. , Engineering figures estimate that the project will cost ap- proximately $820,000 and the new system will serve about 390 of the 515 acres of territory in the Florin ward. The engineer estimates now that if all factors work out as anticipated now, construction can begin in the sum- mer and that about eight months to a vear will be needed Heads Tobacco Group 11th Time Harold B. Endslow, Mari- etta R1, has been reelected to his 11 th term as president or the Lancaster County Tobac- co Growers. Endslow’s election came on - Thursday, Jan. 9, at a meel- ing of the organization held in conjunction with the an- nual Lancaster County To- bacco Show at the Lancaster County Farm Bureau Cooper- ative Association. Reelected to offices were J. C. Stehman, Lancaster RS6, vice president; and Marlin Cassel, Manheim R1, secre- tary. Leroy Funk, Washington Boro R1, was elected treas- urer succeeding Willis Hack- man, Elizabethtown R3. Named Officer In State Assn. Harold K.

Others from Lancaster county attending were Wil- bur Hosler, Henry H. Leid, Paul Z. and Vernon Martin, Harold K. Showalter, Claude Smith, Walter Smith and Cloyd Wenger. Snow Removal Attention was called this week by the Mount Joy Bor- ough Council to a local ordi- nance which requires remov- al of snow from sidewalks.. The law sets out that re- moval shall be completed 24 hours after snow fall ends, George Groff, council presi- dent, said. It also is provided, he said, that the borough may, where necessary, remove the snow and charge the property own- er. for the construction. As presented in the preli- minary plans, the system will need only one pumping sta- tion and that will be actually an “ejector” arrangement, by which sewage will be forced from a point along Donegal Springs road, west of Cross Roads church, to a point at the top of the rise near the John Henry Lutz welding shop, (about 1,000 feet). The ejector will operate by com- pressed air. It was explained that mechanically the system be- ing designed is based in size upon a projected popula- tion in. Mount Joy of about 6,360 people in 1985. All underground instzalla- tions will be adequate for much more growth—even to 10,000 population. As anticipated, costs of the project will be as follows: Construction ...... $627.000 Engineering ...... 76.000 Legal ...7........ 12.000 Interest (During construction 30.00C Bond discount .... 16.400 Rights-of-Way ..... 5.000 Contingencies 53.100 Total ...........: $82C.000 Breaking down the con- struction costs, the installing of underground mains and service lines to the property curbs, $571,000; ejector sta- tion, $19,500; alterations to existing pumping station ‘on east Main street), $8,000, and alterations to the existing sewage treatment plant, $28,- 500. As now proposed, by far the greatest amount of sew- age will flow by gravity into. the already existing main trunk sewer which passes to the north of Mount Joy and terminates at the pumping station on east Main street. Even much of the anticip- ated volume will be collected south of the Pennsylvania railroad and carried under the tracks on south Market avenue. (Turn to page 5) Jaycees Name DSA Speaker H.
