Each one of the grave plots were in good condition except those in the Camp Hill cemetery (known to me as Florin cem- etery). The entire Camp Hill cem- etery was in such deplorable conditions that as I made a turn to the right — driving south—and therefore, a turn to the west, to look at the John Stall lot—I struck a submerged corner marker and tore the chrome trim from the bottom of the rent- ed Ford I was driving. The grass was so high in the cemetery that I had to sweep away the weeds to cee what I had struck (A-vis- it to a Mount Joy garage cor- rected the car problem—in fact a man patted the chrome back in shape!) This letter concerns the state or status of the Camp Hill cemetery; for last sum- mer it was a disgrace to the community and to the repu- tation that Lancaster Couniy has as a “land flowing with milk and honey” where ev- erything is in order. At - the present time I hold the deed to lot 48 is- sued to John Stoll in 1875. (cost $7.50) In 1901 John H. Stoll for John Stoll, Sr., es- tate deposited $10.00 to the memorial fund of the Camp- hill (sic) Cemetery Associa- tion. In 1928 John H. Stoll for his parents for the care of lot 47 (sec!) paid $25.00 to the Camphill Cemetery Association for purposes of investing so that the income would be used for the care of the cemetery. All of the above has been news to me as I believed that each lot holder in Camphill cut his own grass. Now I ask what is the present status of the cemetery? I assume that an- other contribution is in or- der _if there is perpetual care or even yearly care available. The occupants of the graves in question are my great - grandparents whom I never knew. But I visited their graves frequently as a small girl accompanied by . my grandfather John Harry Stoll of Mount Joy. May a transplanted east- erner make a suggestion or two. . 1. Create a working ceme- tery association even if this takes community action by te J. C.’s. 2. Print in the Bulletin (for a price) the costs for lots, yearly and perpetual care and the name and ad- dress of the secretary. 3. With all the pride Mount Joy has in its many advan- tages, it should watch its cemeteries, All of them. Some of us may only be able to occupy that land. Yours sincerely, Mary Mac Nicholl August 4, 1969 To the Editor, As a resident of Mount Joy Borough, I would like to point out to the Citizens the unjust practices of Bor- ough Council. I am a citizen of Mount Joy, pay my taxes and try to be a law abiding citizen. Therefore, I am en- titled to the same privileges and rights all citizens of Mt. Joy enjoy. The Borough Council has a big job and a hard job to perform, but, I think the Council is wrong when they pick out individuals instead of situations. Let me illus- trate: |As many of the resi- dents of Mount Joy know, I had some problems with the Council when they repaved Wood Street and asked us to construct curbing in front of our properties. The Borough Council granted me extra footage in front of my prop- erty with stipulations. The stipulations were that they could put no parking signs in front of my property. This is exactly what they did and I am convinced they did this mostly for personal reasons. If they did not do it for per- sonal reasons, they sure ig- nored some of the traffic traps in Mount Joy. This ‘footage was granted by law procedures. I hope the citizens of Mt. Joy .will understand why I am mentioning these follow- ing illustrations. I am just like all business men and other citizens. I am sure you would be better satisfied if you did not have parking meteds or No Parking signs in “front of your properties. My question, is; why must 1—Seriously consider the installation of curbs on West Main street through the Florin ward. 2.—Continue improvements of Wood Street, re- constructing one or two of the sections re- maining after the 1968 project. 3—Buy and regularly use a borough-owned street sweeper. 4.—Press for completion of the codification of borough ordinances. 5—Enlarge the “Music in the Park” project. 6.—Start now to provide more water for our community, cooperating and participating with any agency which is interested in such a project. 7—Improve -the quality of water supplied by the municipal water system. 8.—Press for improvement on Manheim street between Mount Joy and the site of the new 230 Bypass interchange, including the drain- age problems in the creek bridge. area of the Little Chiques 9—Take steps to insure that property within the borough has fire plugs located within reason- able protection ranges. 10.—Encourage public and/or private capital to launch a tourist attraction which will put Mount Joy “on the map.” Borough Council install Ne Parking signs in front of my property where the street is 32 ft. 712 inches wide and not a main thoroughfare or a State Route? 1 personally measured Marietta Avenue at four different areas and they were all narrower than Wood street is in front of my property. Let me give you the measurements, 32’ - 2”, 32-17, 32 - 415" and 32 - 1” and here at this area the borough has Parking Meters on both sides close to the intersection of Main street. If it is so important to have No Parking signs in front of my property then it is more important to have No Park- ing signs on Marietta Ave. and not just on one spot but the whole street. I am not trying to get Council to in- convenience you, I am speak- ing about just laws. Let me give you another illustration of favoritism or shall we call it unjust pro- cedures. Market Avenue in the Florin area of Mount Joy is 30’ - 21%” wide and this street is used as much by commercial vehicles be- cause it is used for local de- livery and pickup by manu- facturing concerns. I cannot use the space in front of my business for regular parking and yet the borough will al- low some of its residents- to use the street for a used car lot. If they want to allow this it is okay by me only I think I am also entitled to parking privileges also. You may say you had your privi- leges granted when you were allowed extra footage May I again remind you these were given by law pro- cedure and not by good will. I am not asking for any- thing unreasonable. I am asking for the same consid- eration others get. It is too bad that individuals have to disobey parking regulations to get the same considera- tion others get but it appears to me this is the only way. Maybe our local govern- ment need men from oppos- ite Parties so we can have better local government. We need men who can look at local situations and deal wisely with them and not ir- ritate local citizens with some smart remarks when approached by local situa- tions, These are things that happened to me when I ap- proached Borough Council for consideration. I could mention more that took place between me and borough officials and other individuals are allow- ed to do the same and go un- noticed. I am pressing for just legislation by local = of- ficials. How can you have just = National government. when local government is procedures unjust. If you have a better way to fight unjust local pro- cedures, I hope you will have a reply. Roy S. Lehman G.O.P. Women Arrange Party “Blossoming Out All Ov- er’ will be the theme of the annual summer party of the Women’s Republican Club of Lancaster County on Thurs- day, August 14.
