New Gym Construction
At Donegal High Begun
Construction of a new
auxiliary gymnasium for
Donegal high school has
begun!
The site was laid out last
week immediately east of
the present gymnasium and
trenches for footers have"
been dug.
To be a one-story struc-
ture, 50° x 150’ feet, it is
located apart from the
present building but within
about six feet of the present
wall. It will cover the outside
door from the boys’ locker
room.
Completion of the building
— of concrete block and
brick — is expected by the
end of the summer.
In the meantime, a
community-wide financial
drive is under way to raise
approximately $20,000.
Labor and materials also are
needed. Letters seeking help
have been issued throughout
the community and the
student body of D.H.S. is
being involved. ‘‘Shares’’ of
15 cents and 50 cents are
being issued. A 15-cent share
buys a brick, 50 cents a
block. The shares are ex-
pected to raise about $3,000.
The School Board ap-
proved committee
responsible for coordinating
the project — called DIG —
includes: Dr. William B.
Landis, president of the
organization; Dr. Harold H.
Fellenbaum, vice-president;

Annual Biiling
Begins June 1
Mount Joy has a new and
drastically different or-
dinance governing collection
of garbage and refuse within
the borough.

May 13, at the monthly
meeting of Borough Council,
held in the borough building,
the ordinance establishes for
the first time a levy for the

Each dwelling unit in the
borough home and
apartment — will be charged
$12 per year.
First billing will be June 1,
covering the period Jan. 1,
1974 to Dec. 31, 1974. Bills go
to property owners.
Payments may be made at
the borough office or at any
of the local banks.
The new law was passed

cilman George Groff casting
the single opposing ballot.
Totally, the new ordinance
will raise an .estimated
$20,000 annually, which is
about half the entire cost of
the service, it was pointed
out by the council. The levy,
which becomes effective at
once, will ease the borough’s
financial pressure for
handling refuse and gar-
bage. Costs have been
building up over a long
period but to date have been
absorbed by the Borough and
extended to the public as a
free community service.

Although the new or-
dinance sets out that only
four 20-gallon cans may be
handled per household per
week, a council spokesman
said that the number is
expected to be a ‘‘flexible’’
matter.
