Complaints th a t tractor -
trailers were damaging build­ings
and sidewalks in South
Alley were voiced by two citi­zens
who own property on the
alley, a t the meeting of boro
council Tuesday night.
The complainants were Char­les
Krushinski, 128 Eas t Mar­ket
St., and Reuben Dull, 135
Liberty St.
Krushinski said th a t a t
Broad Street the Alley was
one way eas t to Liberty St..,
then it becomes a two-way
alley. He added th a t a lot of
tra c tor tra ile r s got in there,
and then c an ’t get out. A
corner post was s truck seven
times in as many days, an d one
vehicle took the shingles off a
ma n ’s house. They broke up
his sidewalk, and another
man ’s walk, Krushinski said
Dull said they hit the corner
of his barn and pushed it up,
and th a t the tru ck s had ru n
into “ Do Not E n t e r ” signs.
The two men asked th a t the
tr a c tor - tra ile r s be kept out,
and th a t the alley become one­way
Ea s t for its entire two
block length.
Police Chief George Hicks
said you c an ’t keep trucks off
the s t re e t if they are making
deliveries, but added th a t the
old s treets were never made
for tractors. Councilmen ex­pressed
the view th a t the alley
is .too narrow a t th a t point,
and th a t tru ck s should come
in from Broad Street.
As a result Council voted to
make th e alley onè-way east
for a trial period of GO days.
In an o th e r action, council
voted to crack down on resi­dents
who maintain ju n k yards
within the borough limit. Five
letters had recently been sent
to the owners, and Borough
Solicitor Richard A. Snyder
was ins tructed to tak e action
agains t those who have not
complied. Along the same
lines, Councilman Edward G.
Reese asked if something
could be done ab out tumble-down
sheds in the borough. It
was explained th a t it can, but
an architect or engineer
would also have to give a wr it­ten
repor t before such build­ings
could be condemned.
There was a suggestion made
th a t Lititz have a “cleaU-up”
week.
Councilman D. Curtis Ami­don
presented a suggested r e ­vision
of the budget, based on
the expenditures th u s fa r in
1962. He anticipated property
tax receipts of $75,000 as
agains t $74,435 in the 1962
budget, and $36,200 per capi­ta
tax agains t $36,700 this
year. Total receipts are esti­mated
a t . $161,775, which with
the b eginning' balance of
$2891, makes a total of $164,-
666. Expenditures a re e s timat­ed
a t $164,377, as compared
with $162,435 budgeted in
1962.
Thè sum of $15,000 had
been set aside this year for
storm drainage, b u t this work
has not been accomplished, so
it was agreed to t r an s fe r the
money to a special Sform
Urainage Fund. Traffic lights,
a lthough possibly being ins tall­ed
this year, will not be paid

The store was s ta r ted by
Jo h n Zook, who founded the
Lititz Express 75 or 8'0 years
ago. Originally it was across
the alley a t the present loca­tion
of Kre id e r ’s TV store, and
about 4 0 years ago it moved
to its present location.
After* Zook’s ownership,
other owners have been F ran k

before the Workmans
took over the store 29 years
ago.W
hile much of the s tore ’s
life jogs along as it did many
years ago, there a re still quite
a few differenbes in the busi­ness.
For example, Workman said,
there is the difference in pens.
