The half mile s tre tch of road leading into the new developments in the southeas tern end of the borougu is partly inside the borough but mostly in the township and has been source of complaint from nearby res idents for many months. The condition of the road was brought into focus last fall when several motorists suffered damage to the ir ears when they s truck deep ruts. The December snowfalls made the road impassable until recently ;— with the result that motorists again encountered difficulty. Barriers were placed at the road by the borough a t one time but were removed by someone. Several a ttemp t s to reach a working agreement between the borough and the township have failed previously. Fr iday night, however, twp. supervisor s ag^eeid to meet later this Spring and, along with borough . councilmen, make an on-the-scene inspection in the hope of reaching an agre ement regarding the re building of the road. Another s tre e t discussed by the two groups was Manheim Street where the borough-twp. line goes down the center of the street. According to the borough a sub- s tandard street, accoding to borough specifications, was built by- C. M. Bal-mer, who built several homes on the north side of Manheim Street. This section of s tre e t now is dete r io ra tin g and causing motorists trouble, it was as s e rted. This also was relegated to a fu tu re meeting so th a t its re-building also can be studied. Those a ttending the joint meeting included Pau l Ibach, chairman, Raymond Hess, secre ta ry and Aaron Martin, re presenting the township; P r e sident of Council Roy Enck, Curtis Amidon, Robert Aument and David Bauer! representing the borough. ‘Disaster’ Nurses To Receive Free Typhoid Shots Rodney Welch School Board Candidate; Robert Hanna To Run For Boro Council Political activities increased peroeptably here this week as the names of several additional candidates were announced — plus the prospects of several more contests developing over the coming week-end.

The half mile s tre tch of road leading into the new developments in the southeas tern end of the borougu is partly inside the borough but mostly in the township and has been source of complaint from nearby res idents for many months. The condition of the road was brought into focus last fall when several motorists suffered damage to the ir ears when they s truck deep ruts. The December snowfalls made the road impassable until recently ;— with the result that motorists again encountered difficulty. Barriers were placed at the road by the borough a t one time but were removed by someone. Several a ttemp t s to reach a working agreement between the borough and the township have failed previously. Fr iday night, however, twp. supervisor s ag^eeid to meet later this Spring and, along with borough . councilmen, make an on-the-scene inspection in the hope of reaching an agre ement regarding the re building of the road. Another s tre e t discussed by the two groups was Manheim Street where the borough-twp. line goes down the center of the street. According to the borough a sub- s tandard street, accoding to borough specifications, was built by- C. M. Bal-mer, who built several homes on the north side of Manheim Street. This section of s tre e t now is dete r io ra tin g and causing motorists trouble, it was as s e rted. This also was relegated to a fu tu re meeting so th a t its re-building also can be studied.
