By R.A. R. One of the “hot” subjects in the borough these days concerns zoning. ®e oo o It has been pointed out that there are home owners disregarding the ordinance— either knowingly or unknow- ingly — and that they are making repairs and improve- ments to property in viola- tion of the ordinances of the borough. ®e © o It the construction, im- provement or repair is to cost more than $100, a permit from the Zoning Officer is needed. ® © oo Apparently the ordinance has been violated when out- of-town contractors come in- to town and do the work. The fact that the out-of-town- er does the work is no relief from the necessity to have a permit. ® @ ® Also there allegedly are violation about. set-back re- strictions on new homes. There are regulations which state that the front of build- ings shall be a certain num- ber of feet from the street. ® a @ The borough, then, appar- ently faces a decision of piece-meal enforcement, the making of an example (which could be a very embarrasing and costly matte for the property owner) or finally abandoning its zoning regula- tions simply be vacating en- forcement.

Oh, I know my name, my address, my tele phone number, my zip number and my birthday. And, I know where I work, I know my job and I know what is expected of me on the job. I know who I am. Sure I do. Yet, the basic answer to the question of “Who am I” is one of the most most elusive a man asks sought after and yet the of himself. Man—as a boy and as an old man—repeat edly ponders to himself the fundamental ques- tions of his origin, his end and of how he shall travel the road between. And—it is how he answers these questions which determines the kind of a man he is, or be- comes, and the attitudes he assumes along the way. (Turn to page 2)
