Area Residents Asked
To Help Locate
Cause
7jorough Council is asking resi­dents
of Lititz to help locate
the cause or causes of a grad ­ual
increase in flow a t the lo­cal
sewage tr e a tme n t plant.
Borough Manager David .1.
Hauer told Borough Council on
Monday evening th a t the in­crease
means nothing in dollars
and cents at the present, hut
should it continue, more
equipment may be needed.
Council pinpointed th e extra
flow to thre e possible causes:
loose fitting manhole covers;
broken sewers; downspouts
connected into sewer or cess­pools.
Bauer pointed out th a t the
borough has been checking
the first two possibilities and
is convinced th a t the problem
centers around th e illegal con­nection
of downspouts . The
characteristics of the flow be­fore
and a f te r rain have caus­ed
the concern ab out such
connections.
Such illegal connections
may be made with o u t the
knowledge of th e owners or
res idents of borough homes
and officials hoped th a t res i­dents
will check all such con­nections
and make any needed
changes. Council pointed out
th a t th e re is a $25 fine, but
it won’t be enforced if local
- res idents cooperate immediate­l
y .
Should the increase con­tinue,
officials plan to con­duct
and extensive inves tiga­tion
which would include a
te s t flow of lines between man­holes
d u r in g normal periods
and an o th e r d u r in g a wet per­iod
to d e te rmine the origin of
the extra flow.
Bauer noted th a t th e aew-
, age flow rose from '606.000
gallons daily to 719,8100 dur-s

Famous Sutter Revolver
Is Listed For Sale
To be sold or not to be
sold— ihis was the question
sur rounding the age-old re ­volver
toted by General John
Augustus Sutter d u r in g the
hectic days of the famed Cal­ifornia
gold rush!
At present the historic re ­volver
reposed in the archives
museum of the local Moravian
Church where, according to

it will remain.
On the othe r hand, Mrs.
He rbe r t Beck, widow of the
late church 'his torian, already

Church .officials on the
othe r hand claim, th a t General
Sutter gave the revolver to
the •church' to lie added to its
collection Of historic articles
which eve-i then was consider­able.
Inasmuch as the church
had no organized museum,
Abram Beck, fa th e r of the
late Dr. Beck, acted as cus­todian
for the revolver and
later tu rn ed it over to Dr.
Beck.
Members of the church.com­mittee
who have the preserva­tion
of the church collection
as the ir obligation, asserted
definitely this week th a t the
revolver will not be turned
over to anyone unless ordered
to do so by the church board
or through a legal action.
