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.

Naval Academy Glee Club on Saturday, October 20, in the Warwick High School, it was announced by George Kctter-man, club pres ident.

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.
