The property tax will be held at 15 mills. The 1961 budget expenditures for the four main operating funds total $346,684. The amount includes the repayment of a $15,000 temporary loan from the Lititz Springs Bank. Burgess/2 Councilmen Not To Seek Re-election FORMER STUDENT IN QUARTETTE The rebuilding of Main _reet is the main cause of the need for an increase in the tax rate. Because of the u n certainty of state plans for th e project, nothing was b udgeted for Main Street in I9 60, with the result th a t the General Fund had a year-end deficit of $8,500. The Bo ro u g h ’s share of Main Street expenses will lap over into the budget for 1961. In I960, Main Street recons truction cost the Borough $14,500 which had not been considered in the 1960 budget. The 1961 budget mus t pick up the $8,550 deficit from 1960 plus paying approximately $19,000 more for Main Street expenses. Other highlights of the bu d get include: 1. Es timated $1 2,000 expense and income lor ins talling sidewalks required of proper ty owners in 1961. 2. A drop of $7,500 in income from the County for highway purposes. 3. A drop of $2,500 in buildings expense since 19 60 included completion of repairs to the Borough Hall a p p a ra tu s room. 4. A drop of $2,700 in tran s fe r s for equipment re serves. ,5. A drop of $2,000 in snow .*d ice control expense, since 19 60 had th re e bad storms. 6. A drop -i----------- of $2,000 in Dr. Griswold Speaks On Puerto Rico Dft A r th u r S.

Planners Would Address Club The Lititz Borough P la n ning Commission met last Thursday night. The Commission decided to offer th e se rvices of the members of the Commission to speak before Community clubs and groups on the recently published comprehensive plan report.

Service This Sunday At Middletown bridge construction, since 1960 involved a final payment on the F ro n t Street Bridge. 7. An increase of $1,500 for s tre e t cleaning to do a be tte r job on leaf removal. Altogether, the Borough government budgets for nine different operating funds, compared to the late 1940’s when all Borough operations came out of two funds. As the Borough has provided more services, its financial operation has gotten more complicated. However, . a ’P en n sylvania Economy League study of Borough finances made in 19 57 set up certain guidelines which have been followed since. In considering sources of additional revenue the Borough has the following to draw upon: Proper ty Tax — each mill will raise $4,600. (1961 proposed ra te is 15 mills. 20 mills is the maximum ra te a l lowed.) P e r Capita Tax— each $1.00 of th e tax ra te raise $3,600. (1961 proposed ra te is, $10.00, which is th e maximum ra te a l lowed.) Wa te r sales—-each $1,00 of the basic ra te re tu rn s $12,000. ($6.00 per 1000 cubic feet is the .current rate.) Sewer sales— each $1.00 of the basic r a te r e tu rn s $12,- ¡400. ($8.00 . per 1000 cubic feet is the c u r ren t ra t e ) . Wage Tax— e a ch 1 /1 0 of one per cent would bring in $6,000. Since the school now has a wage tax, the maximum ra te would be % of one percent. Total income from both per capita tax and wage tax could not exceed $70,000. In arr iving gt the proposed tax rates for 1961, Council took into consideration the tax s t ru c tu re of the School Board, as well as the needs of the Borough.

Hammer Creek Dam Would Mean Profits Recreation, Pleasure By Jo h n He lte r With all the ta lk and speculation about the proposed Hatnmer Creek Dam, the question has been asked: “Wh a t can the dam mean to Lititz Area Residents and of tvhat value will it be.” In th e early p a r t of the last century, when most of the old mill dams were built or a l ready in use, recreation was the leas t th o u g h t of use for a body of wa te r the size of these ponds. Priva te enterprise, in the form of millers, built, maintained and used the backed up wa te r as a source of power. Tha t the ir generos ity allowed the public to use the wa te r as a place to fish and boat and ice skate, was secondary. The Za rtmans Mill Dam was no exception. Those of you who a re 35 years of age or older and who spent th e i r youth in the Wa r wick are a have many memories of days spent on the “ old mill pond.” I t was in this body of water th a t many of my playmates learned to swim. I t was here where I c aught my first fish and learned to “ noodle” under overhanging banks and su n k en logs for “ c a ts” and mud rooting carp. V Huck F in n had nothing on us, for the first boat we built took us to the fa r corners of the world, even though it barely reached the far shore. This was recreation in i t ’s highes t form as known to us then. I t was in 1926 when -the dam broke. According to Bart Sharp, dams in the Rexmont area, up s tream from the pumping s t a t io n , . broke and the sudden b u r s t of water flooded the valley and the dam gave way. E. F. Zartman, now owner of the mill and the dam property, verified this date but said the dam; was rebuilt. It was in 1932 when the concrete and e a r then s t ru c tu re was again beseiged by a heavy deluge of waj.er. This time it gave way and was never re paired. A small d^m a t the upper end of the t£)il race was used to diver t the waters of the Hamme r Creek into th e mill but the 22-acre lake was no more. All th a t remained was memories. High waters dropped the ir silt and tu rn e d the swampy lake bottom into solid ground to be used as meadow land. While the face of this a rea was undergoing change, so wras the th inking and needs of the people of the area. (Continued on page 6) Longnecker, BushongAlso Will Retire: Many new faces will appear on the local political horizon this Spring When Lititz borough and Warwick Union voters will be faced with filling nearly a dozen important public offices a t the coming primary, May 16. In the borough, th r e e pre s ent office-holders this week asserted th a t they will not be candidates for re-election. They a re Burgess Benjamin Forres t, Pre s ident of Council Roy Enck and Councilman Roy S. Reidenbaugh. In addition borough voters will have to fill a vacancy in the F i r s t Wa rd caused by the creation of the new Third Ward as well as fill a number of minor offices in the new ward. In addition, two veteran members of the Warwick Union School board also declared they are re t ir in g from public life. They a re F ra n k H. Longenecker and H. Ray Bushong. Longenecker has served for four consecutive terms, a to ta l of 24 years, while Bushong has served for the past six years. Burgess Fo r re s t, who was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Victor Wagner, has served for a total of eleven years. Both Enck and Reidenbaugh have served one te rm each. Borough Tax Collector Leo Rossi, whose job has been re duced considerably by the borough collecting its own taxes and the school dis trict planning to do. the same, has not decided definitely if he will seek re-election for th e purpose of collecting the county tax. .Jus tic e of the Peace Paul F. Diehm will seek re-election in the borough, as will Robert G. Zartman, school a u d ito r for Warwick Union. Elme r Her-shey, borough auditor, also will ru n for re-election. First, Ward office-holders who will have th e i r names on the ballot for re-election are: Christ Koehler, judge of elections; and Ea r l D. Singer, inspector of elections, A Re publican committeewoman also will have to be named isas-much as Mrs. Effie Brobst, present committeewoman, now is a re s ident of the Third Ward. Borough Council is expected to fill a . councilman vacancy in th e F i r s t Wa rd while Richard Snyder, Republican County^ Chairman, will name committeemen and women in the Third Ward. Postal Receipts Here Showed Loss During 1960 As Compared With 1959 Gross receipts of the Lititz Post Office showed a dropoff of approximately six percent d ur ing the past year as compared with the volume of mail handled here d u r in g the record-breaking year of 19 59. According to Pos tma s te r Richard C. Rader, annual gross postal receipts of $18 6,- 00 0 were recorded this year as compared to the all-time high of $198,000 in 1959. Pos tma s te r Rade r felt the decrease of $12,000 did not reflect generally poorer business conditions here but stated th a t it “ can mainly be contributed to a decided drop in the number of parcels mailed th ro u g h o u t the year by our largest firm ma iler .” ' This past Chris tmas season a total of 2 8 3,000 cancellations were recorded here which compares favorably with the record of 19 59 considering th a t all mail now deposited in our s ta r -ma rk ed boxes on Sundays and holidays no longer is processed and therefore not counted a t the Lititz post office. In general the local post office has extended and expanded its service in many areas this past year. These consist mainly of a larger segment of the Brubake r Development a t Kissel Hill embodying practically the entire area. One new block on Gochenau-er Avenue in the borough has been added and many new homes and ap a r tmen t s have been g ranted service all. along the established routes. Mail volume has been increased to such an extent th a t thre e of the four ru r a l routes have been over-burdened” , qualifying the carr iers for extr a pay allowances.

Admitting th a t he didn’t have never to visit a local job cost him $4.50 — plus a bit of pride. Bill, whose beard ait th a t time won him a prize d uring the 1956 Lititz Bicentennial celebration, h ad raised his present beard especially for the proposed Millersville celebration to be staged this summer. A forme r re s ident of Millersville, Bill was anxious to see if any of his former friends would recognize him. “My wife was a f ra id I ’d catch cold having it shaved off in the winter-time but nothing has happened yet,” Bill explained, adding sober-tonsorial shop, lie went to ly, “ it really was a beaut, Lanc a s te r to rid himself of I th o u g h .” The Recreation C e n t e r membership Drive co-chairman Mrs. Albert Eb b e r t and Mrs. John Skinner repor ted 232 memberships were sold last week.

The property tax will be held at 15 mills. The 1961 budget expenditures for the four main operating funds total $346,684. The amount includes the repayment of a $15,000 temporary loan from the Lititz Springs Bank. Burgess/2 Councilmen Not To Seek Re-election FORMER STUDENT IN QUARTETTE The rebuilding of Main _reet is the main cause of the need for an increase in the tax rate. Because of the u n certainty of state plans for th e project, nothing was b udgeted for Main Street in I9 60, with the result th a t the General Fund had a year-end deficit of $8,500. The Bo ro u g h ’s share of Main Street expenses will lap over into the budget for 1961. In I960, Main Street recons truction cost the Borough $14,500 which had not been considered in the 1960 budget. The 1961 budget mus t pick up the $8,550 deficit from 1960 plus paying approximately $19,000 more for Main Street expenses. Other highlights of the bu d get include: 1. Es timated $1 2,000 expense and income lor ins talling sidewalks required of proper ty owners in 1961. 2. A drop of $7,500 in income from the County for highway purposes. 3. A drop of $2,500 in buildings expense since 19 60 included completion of repairs to the Borough Hall a p p a ra tu s room. 4. A drop of $2,700 in tran s fe r s for equipment re serves. ,5. A drop of $2,000 in snow .*d ice control expense, since 19 60 had th re e bad storms. 6. A drop -i----------- of $2,000 in Dr. Griswold Speaks On Puerto Rico Dft A r th u r S.

Planners Would Address Club The Lititz Borough P la n ning Commission met last Thursday night. The Commission decided to offer th e se rvices of the members of the Commission to speak before Community clubs and groups on the recently published comprehensive plan report.

An increase of $1,500 for s tre e t cleaning to do a be tte r job on leaf removal. Altogether, the Borough government budgets for nine different operating funds, compared to the late 1940’s when all Borough operations came out of two funds. As the Borough has provided more services, its financial operation has gotten more complicated. However, . a ’P en n sylvania Economy League study of Borough finances made in 19 57 set up certain guidelines which have been followed since. In considering sources of additional revenue the Borough has the following to draw upon: Proper ty Tax — each mill will raise $4,600. (1961 proposed ra te is 15 mills. 20 mills is the maximum ra te a l lowed.) P e r Capita Tax— each $1.00 of th e tax ra te raise $3,600. (1961 proposed ra te is, $10.00, which is th e maximum ra te a l lowed.) Wa te r sales—-each $1,00 of the basic ra te re tu rn s $12,000. ($6.00 per 1000 cubic feet is the .current rate.) Sewer sales— each $1.00 of the basic r a te r e tu rn s $12,- ¡400. ($8.00 . per 1000 cubic feet is the c u r ren t ra t e ) . Wage Tax— e a ch 1 /1 0 of one per cent would bring in $6,000. Since the school now has a wage tax, the maximum ra te would be % of one percent. Total income from both per capita tax and wage tax could not exceed $70,000. In arr iving gt the proposed tax rates for 1961, Council took into consideration the tax s t ru c tu re of the School Board, as well as the needs of the Borough.

Hammer Creek Dam Would Mean Profits Recreation, Pleasure By Jo h n He lte r With all the ta lk and speculation about the proposed Hatnmer Creek Dam, the question has been asked: “Wh a t can the dam mean to Lititz Area Residents and of tvhat value will it be.” In th e early p a r t of the last century, when most of the old mill dams were built or a l ready in use, recreation was the leas t th o u g h t of use for a body of wa te r the size of these ponds. Priva te enterprise, in the form of millers, built, maintained and used the backed up wa te r as a source of power. Tha t the ir generos ity allowed the public to use the wa te r as a place to fish and boat and ice skate, was secondary. The Za rtmans Mill Dam was no exception. Those of you who a re 35 years of age or older and who spent th e i r youth in the Wa r wick are a have many memories of days spent on the “ old mill pond.” I t was in this body of water th a t many of my playmates learned to swim. I t was here where I c aught my first fish and learned to “ noodle” under overhanging banks and su n k en logs for “ c a ts” and mud rooting carp. V Huck F in n had nothing on us, for the first boat we built took us to the fa r corners of the world, even though it barely reached the far shore. This was recreation in i t ’s highes t form as known to us then. I t was in 1926 when -the dam broke. According to Bart Sharp, dams in the Rexmont area, up s tream from the pumping s t a t io n , . broke and the sudden b u r s t of water flooded the valley and the dam gave way. E. F. Zartman, now owner of the mill and the dam property, verified this date but said the dam; was rebuilt. It was in 1932 when the concrete and e a r then s t ru c tu re was again beseiged by a heavy deluge of waj.er. This time it gave way and was never re paired. A small d^m a t the upper end of the t£)il race was used to diver t the waters of the Hamme r Creek into th e mill but the 22-acre lake was no more. All th a t remained was memories. High waters dropped the ir silt and tu rn e d the swampy lake bottom into solid ground to be used as meadow land. While the face of this a rea was undergoing change, so wras the th inking and needs of the people of the area. (Continued on page 6) Longnecker, BushongAlso Will Retire: Many new faces will appear on the local political horizon this Spring When Lititz borough and Warwick Union voters will be faced with filling nearly a dozen important public offices a t the coming primary, May 16. In the borough, th r e e pre s ent office-holders this week asserted th a t they will not be candidates for re-election. They a re Burgess Benjamin Forres t, Pre s ident of Council Roy Enck and Councilman Roy S. Reidenbaugh. In addition borough voters will have to fill a vacancy in the F i r s t Wa rd caused by the creation of the new Third Ward as well as fill a number of minor offices in the new ward. In addition, two veteran members of the Warwick Union School board also declared they are re t ir in g from public life. They a re F ra n k H. Longenecker and H. Ray Bushong. Longenecker has served for four consecutive terms, a to ta l of 24 years, while Bushong has served for the past six years. Burgess Fo r re s t, who was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Victor Wagner, has served for a total of eleven years. Both Enck and Reidenbaugh have served one te rm each. Borough Tax Collector Leo Rossi, whose job has been re duced considerably by the borough collecting its own taxes and the school dis trict planning to do. the same, has not decided definitely if he will seek re-election for th e purpose of collecting the county tax. .Jus tic e of the Peace Paul F. Diehm will seek re-election in the borough, as will Robert G. Zartman, school a u d ito r for Warwick Union. Elme r Her-shey, borough auditor, also will ru n for re-election. First, Ward office-holders who will have th e i r names on the ballot for re-election are: Christ Koehler, judge of elections; and Ea r l D. Singer, inspector of elections, A Re publican committeewoman also will have to be named isas-much as Mrs. Effie Brobst, present committeewoman, now is a re s ident of the Third Ward. Borough Council is expected to fill a . councilman vacancy in th e F i r s t Wa rd while Richard Snyder, Republican County^ Chairman, will name committeemen and women in the Third Ward. Postal Receipts Here Showed Loss During 1960 As Compared With 1959 Gross receipts of the Lititz Post Office showed a dropoff of approximately six percent d ur ing the past year as compared with the volume of mail handled here d u r in g the record-breaking year of 19 59. According to Pos tma s te r Richard C. Rader, annual gross postal receipts of $18 6,- 00 0 were recorded this year as compared to the all-time high of $198,000 in 1959. Pos tma s te r Rade r felt the decrease of $12,000 did not reflect generally poorer business conditions here but stated th a t it “ can mainly be contributed to a decided drop in the number of parcels mailed th ro u g h o u t the year by our largest firm ma iler .” ' This past Chris tmas season a total of 2 8 3,000 cancellations were recorded here which compares favorably with the record of 19 59 considering th a t all mail now deposited in our s ta r -ma rk ed boxes on Sundays and holidays no longer is processed and therefore not counted a t the Lititz post office. In general the local post office has extended and expanded its service in many areas this past year. These consist mainly of a larger segment of the Brubake r Development a t Kissel Hill embodying practically the entire area. One new block on Gochenau-er Avenue in the borough has been added and many new homes and ap a r tmen t s have been g ranted service all. along the established routes. Mail volume has been increased to such an extent th a t thre e of the four ru r a l routes have been over-burdened” , qualifying the carr iers for extr a pay allowances.

Admitting th a t he didn’t have never to visit a local job cost him $4.50 — plus a bit of pride. Bill, whose beard ait th a t time won him a prize d uring the 1956 Lititz Bicentennial celebration, h ad raised his present beard especially for the proposed Millersville celebration to be staged this summer. A forme r re s ident of Millersville, Bill was anxious to see if any of his former friends would recognize him. “My wife was a f ra id I ’d catch cold having it shaved off in the winter-time but nothing has happened yet,” Bill explained, adding sober-tonsorial shop, lie went to ly, “ it really was a beaut, Lanc a s te r to rid himself of I th o u g h .” The Recreation C e n t e r membership Drive co-chairman Mrs. Albert Eb b e r t and Mrs. John Skinner repor ted 232 memberships were sold last week.
