State Says “Maybe” A fourteen-year-old battle on the p art of the borough to get the state to reconstruct ¡North Broad Street appears about to be won, according to unofficial assurances given Borough Manager R. Keith Armstrong when he was in Harrisburg on Tuesday. Armstrong reported this to borough council a t its meeting last night. Armstrong went over the -lan s with the director of De- ,.gn Division of the District Highway Office, and was given an unofficial guess th a t the work will be done in the 'Spring or early Summer. The sta te has made a preliminary study which indicates th a t not much of the curb will need replacing, nor will sidewalks need repacing, except when in bad condition. Property owners would be responsible for replacement of curbs, similar to the Main Street reconstruction. No estimate of the cost has yet been made, Armstrong said. The sta te will pay for the construction of the street, which is a portion of Route 501, and the borough will be required to pay for land damages and off- site storm drainage. The portion to be done extends eight-tenths of a mile from Main 'Street to the borough limits.

Borough Council has indicated th a t the lights will be provided for in next year’s budget. 119 Autoists Get Tickets For Parking There were 119 meter violations during November, according to th e monthly report of Mayor A rth u r S.

Several outlets drain into the stream from th e Morgan Paper Co., according to the report. Two appear to be drain pipes, one from the north side and one from the south side, it was said, and others from the filtering and settling beds. There are six to ten outlets directly under the plant, one of which appears to be dumping raw sewage. There are also several outlets at the Animal Trap Company, the report stated, one being at the boiler room and the San Domingo stream. There are settling or filtering beds to the east of the factory which are shallow and contain residues such as paint, oil, and possibly acids, the report stated.

Deducations and recommendations listed by the committee are as follows: Pollution such as occurrf^i on August 30. 1962, from the Wilbur Suchard Chocolata Co., should not be allowed to enter the stream. This wfit* later found to consist of potash and vinegar. A way should be found to control the starch which é¿- ters the stream from the Morgan Paper Co. F u rth e r investigation should be made a t several in tak e pipes in the stream, one a t Weaver's Re staurant and on« a t Leed’s 'Locker and ica plant. There is a constant flow of foreign material in to th $ stream from the Morgan Paper Co. “We do not feel th a t there are adequate controls of th is material to guárante« th a t it is pollution-free.” ; ■ A complete investigation of the disposal procedures a t th a Animal Trap Co. should he Instituted. The committee concluded th a t there is a gradual recufr-rence of vegetation and animal life a short distance below the Animal Trap 'Co., and that any vegetation from the east end of the borough upstream is a catch-all for alf forms of debris and filth, including dead animals and. pulp-like material. The committee noted th a t below the borough line to th e disposal plant the only pollution evident was due to surface drainage from McCrea ry ’s junk yard. The Committee urgently re quested th a t borough council take immediate action to remedy this situation “ so th a t this ‘open sewer’ may he re placed with a ‘thing of beauty .’ ” RECEIVE COMPLAINT A le tte r of complaint wa$ received about a ju n k yard at the east end of Lititz, which (Continued on Page 3) An ample supply of the first Christmas postage stamps ever issued by the United States was annuonced today by Postmaster Richard C.

The committee concluded th a t there is a gradual recufr-rence of vegetation and animal life a short distance below the Animal Trap 'Co., and that any vegetation from the east end of the borough upstream is a catch-all for alf forms of debris and filth, including dead animals and. pulp-like material. The committee noted th a t below the borough line to th e disposal plant the only pollution evident was due to surface drainage from McCrea ry ’s junk yard.
