Borough Unearths Old Water Main Laid Privately Over 50 Years Ago Borough water department i plexing problem in th eir efforts workers scratched their heads to have the four properties in wonderment this week when, in making repairs at Broad and Center Streets, they suddenly unearthed a small water main which had been laid through private capital more than half a century ago. The small one-inch main runs parallel with the borough’s four-inch main along the same street and serves a total of four properties including the Nuss building. Old borough records show th a t the main was laid more than 50 years ago by Jacob M. Baker and the old Lititz Water Company. Anxious to abandon the old, leaky one-inch main, borough officials were faced with a per-hooked up with the borough main. All such hook-ups require a borough permit costing $12.50 with the property owners paying the cost of running the line from the borctugh main to the curb. Inasmuch as all of these properties have been getting wator for half a century, council could not figure a way to get the lines hooked-up without ignoring a borough ordinance until Samuel Nuss, one of the owners agreed to pay the cost of hooking up a service line providing the borough did not insist upon a permit being issued for a new cut-in. This was quickly approved by council members.

These meetings will be held between now and the election, November 8. Questions arid answers compiled by the three school boards are as follows: QUESTION Why is the merger proposed at this time by the three school boards? ANSWER Because it will benefit our children, our tax payers, and our community. 1. Relieve present crowded conditions. 2. Effect economies by eliminating duplications iri the th re e districts. 3.

By making our community a more desirable place in which to live. QUESTION What would the proposed merger accomplish?
