WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1968 THE BULLETIN, Borough Issues Building Permit Warning A warning to home own- ers who make building im- provements was issued Mon- day night as the Mount Joy Borough Council met for its August meeting, held in the Friendship Fire hall. It was pointed out that permits for home improve- ments must be obtained from the borough and the certific- ate posted prominently. The warning came after Zoning Officer Robert Kline reported that some home owners are making property changes without the permits. He specifically mentioned sidings. Some owners are securing the permits as required by borough ordinance and here- by the assesor is notified and evaluation of the property may raise for tax purposes. For other owners, he said, to improve without following the normal course is not fair to those who do. Police were instructed to be vigilant during their pa- trols as they see house im- provements. In other business Monday night, council granted Roy S. Lehman, Wood street, per- mission to construct curbing 18 inches outside the proper- ty line as part of the Wood street rebuilding program. A month ago Lehman had appeared before council ask- ing some relief concerning curb construction. Engin- eering specifications, he said, ran the curb within a few inches of his business build- ing and home. At that time, the request was denied. Monday, Lehman again appeared,accompanied by At- torney William Howard. It was agreed that the new arrangement also would include the . understanding that there would be a ‘no parking” area where the var- lance is allowed for about 100 feet along the street. Street Committee Simeon Horton 'said that it is ex- pected that the contractor will begin rebuilding Wood street within the next few days. Council also Monday night heard that within the next few days the former Acme building will become bor- ough property. Legal papers have been prepared and the purchase will be completed, probably about August 15th. Following that, a renova- tion program will be started which is expected to run a- bout $10,000. Present plans call for a new front which will in many respects resem- ble the one placed on anoth- er former Acme store located on north Queen street in Lancaster. Plans call for a colonial type front, featuring brick, shuttered windows and doub- le doors on the west side of the front face. Council heard a delegation of property owners from Ziegler street who complain of excess drainage problems of surface water. President Kleiner said that without a doubt the area has the worst situation. in town. It was suggested that perhaps the Mount Joy street drain is clogged. Although no firm action was taken, it was felt that a complete engineering survey of the project should be made. The borough engineer said that such a problem would “not be inexpensive.” The borough received deed from Howard Bernhard for ownership of Terrace aven- ue, paved this summer. The street is an east-west street between Angle and Orchard road. The September meeting of the council will be held on Monday night, Sept. 9—one week later in the month than usual — because of La- bor Day. At that time coun- cil will consider the passage a rodent control ordinance. AMP Earuings, Sales Set Record Combined sales and earn- ings of AMP Incorporated, subsidiaries and Pamcor, Inc. (an affiliate) in the six months ended June 30, 1968, reached a new record high, U. A. Whitaker, Chairman of the Board and S. S. Auchinc- loss, President, reported to shareholders. Combined sales for the six months to June 30, 1968, of $81,689,000 were 9% above the $75,204,000 sales in the first half of 1967. Combined net income for the first half of this year set a new record at $7,681,000, equal to 63 sents per Endors- ed Share on the 12,218,094 shares outstanding at June 30, 1968. This was an in- crease of 9% over combined net income of $7,022,000 or 58 cents per Endorsed Share for the six months to June 30, 1967, based on 12,202,866 shares then outstanding. Discussing the 1968 half year results, the AMP offici- als stated that it should be noted that this year’s earn- ings are after providing for the recently enacted 10% U. S. surtax which is retroactive to the beginning of the year. “If this tax had not been im: posed, earnings per s hare MOUNT JOY, PA. would have been cents higher, or 68 cents per share — some 18% ahead of last year’s first half.” Sales in the second quarter just ended totaled $42,399. 000 and set a new quarterly high, exceeding the previous high of $39,290,000 in the first quarter of this year. The AMP officials told the shareholders that while the gains so far this year were spread throughout most of the company’s markets, sales to the consumer goods and electrical equipment indus- tries are showing particularly good growth. “The general outlook is encouraging, both for continued sales growth and for further improvement in pre-tax profit margins, un- less the present trend of eco- nomic conditions is reversed” they stated. The combined backlog of unfllled orders at the end of the second quarter totaled $30,500,000, not appreciably differcrnt from the record $30,600,000 at March 31, 1968 and well above the $27,300,- 000 at June, 1967.
