Bike Battle
Action Lost
In Council
The Buckius bicycle battle
came to a silent end Tuesday
night at Borough Council
meeting.
Although James Buckius,
Donegal Springs Road, had
fought a good fight to have
the Mount Joy borough bicy-
cle ordinance revamped, his
efforts to date have been {to
no avail.
Tuesday night he showed
councilmen a movie in full
color and presented one of
the area's most popular state
poiice officers—Trooper Gra-
zer. Previously Buckius had
presented the council with a
petition bearing many names
in which he proposed to al-
low bike riders under 12 yrs.
of age on smaller size cycles
ride on selected residential
streets.
However, Monday — after
full debate — his cause was
lost for the want of a second
to a motion to alter the pres-
ent ‘No Riding on the Side-
walks’ regulation.
Councilman John Day III
proposed to accept the Buck-
ius proposal with the stipul-
ation that the age be reduced
to 10 years.
Then followed the fatal sil-
ence. There were seven other
councilmen present but there
was no second to the motion.
At council’s October meet-
ing, Mayor Frank Walter had
clearly stated his position on
the matter, saying that the
present bicycle ordinance has
had good acceptance and that
he sees no reason to change
it.
Police Chief J. Bruce Kline
Tuesday night of this week
told the council that he and
the mayor (who was not pres-
ent at the meeting) recom-
mend that there be no
change.
Buckius previously had
stated that he would not be
thwarted in his attempt to
allow limited bike riding on
the sidewalks and he told the
council Mnoday night follow-
ing their decision that he may
attempt to push the matter
to a higher source—the state
legislature,

‘Native Sons’
GivenGood Vote
In Mount Joy
Mount Joy voters were
generous to their two native
sons who appeared Tuesday
on the county ballot for pub-
lic offices.
One is an attorney, the oth-
er a doctor.
Both Clarence C. Newcom-
er, candidate for district at-
torney, and Dr. Newton E.
Kendig, candidate for coron-
er, running as Republicans
received nearly 100 more
votes than other Republican
County candidates. Thus a-
bout that number of Mount
Joy Democrats crossed their
tickets to give their support
to two home town men.
A survey of other county
offices indicate that the GOP
in Mt. Joy polled about 900
votes. Newcomer, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Calrence S. New-
comer, south Market street,
received 980 against 209 for
his Democratic opponent
Robert M. Goings.
Dr. Kendig, Mount Joy
physician had 969 votes in
the borough's three wards a-
gainst 225 for Democrat
Franklin XK. Cassel.
Both men were elected to
office, folowing the generai
voting trend of the county
for all row offices on the bal-
lot this election.

Voters Turn Thumbs Down on Manager
Mount Joy does not want a
borough manager!
The issue was decided rath-
er decisively Tuesdty by
volers in all three wards as
they cast their ballots almost
two to one against the estab-
lishment of the office.
The count showed 606
people voting against and
336 speaking for the proposal
which was placed on the bal-
ot at the request of the Bor-
ough Council.
Long a matter discussed
and debated, the proposition,
was set before the people by
Council to give guidance to
whatever action it might
take,
While the Tuesday ballot-
ing is not binding upon
Council, it is not likely that
the clear wishes of the peo-
ple will be violated within
the immediate future.
Observers believe that the
people of the community felt
that a manager would cost
more than he would save or
more than he could deliver
in added or better services.
People, generally, felt that
the manager would force an
increase in taxes.
The same feeling of finan-
cial fear also was blamed
for Mount Joy's vote against
the creating of a county

The three wards voted 444
against and 366 for.
However, it is worth not-
ing that although nearly 1200
people voted in Mount Joy,
only 942 voted on the bor-
ough manager proposition
and 810 on the proposal to
create the health office.

Worthy of note, too, is the
fact that totals appear to
have nothing to do with rar-

Republicans, as party vot-
ers, cast about 900 baiiots.
Democrats appeared to have
had about 250 hard core par-
ty voters.
The borough manager aues-

the ballot this election which

pects to appeal to the state

steps to help prevent addi-
tional accidents.
