Suggests Tourist
Buses Not Use
Boro Parking Lot
Borough council at its meet
ing Tuesday evening shelved
plans to impose a curfew on
young people under the age
of eighteen. Instead it decid­ed
to study a four point pro­gram
offered as an alterna­tive
by Councilman Ed'ward
Reese.
The program suggested by
Reese would consist of first,
a review of present conduct
and safety ordinances in or­der
to tighten them; second,
establish parental responsibil­ity
for youths conduct; third,
-impose a personal curfew on
those young people that get
into trouble; fourth, establish
a program similar to that
proposed three years ago by
Mayor Arthur Griswold where
some type of a guidance com­mittee
would be formed.
Local Youth Day in Gov­ernment
officials were pres­ent
and, with Mayor Donald
Showers as their spokesman,
took part in the discussion
concerning the proposed cur­few
which was approved by
the school board at a previ­ous
meeting.
The Youth Day officials
suggested an individual cur­few
as an alternative. ‘They
stated in this case a -curfew
would be placed only on those
youths that got into trouble.
Mayor Arthur Griswold of­fered
the feeling that a cur­few
is not needed so much
for the local youngsters as it
is for those outsiders who
come into Lititz and cause
trouble. Lititz, he said, is sur­rounded
by curfe'ws.
¡Speaking in ¡behalf of the
curfew was William Dussinig-er,
president of the Jaytcees,
w(ho noted that his organiza­tion
had voted in favor of a
curfew which he personally
felt was a necessity.
Withholds Action
Council temporarily with­held
action on the proposed
budget of the Recreation
Board. It was stated that this
was done because th-e school
board at a previous meeting
had declined action on the
same budget.
The question is exactly bow
much each body will allocate
for the budget. At council's
meeting it was stated that the
school board was not inclined
to go along with m-ore than
$6,300. Council thought this
amount not sufficient as last
year the school’s allocation
was $6,700.
Contacted yesterday, John
Wenger, school board repre­sentative
to the Rec. Board,
stated he felt the school
board could not go along
with more than $6,700, or
the same as last year. The
$6,300 figure had come up
because the school board Is
attempting to hold down ex­penses.
Council is expected to act
on the Rec. budget at their
next meeting.
Businessmen Object
'Council also reported that
local businessmen have ob­jected
to a proposal to allow
tourist buses to use the bor­ough
parking lot. As an alter­native,
council decided to re­serve
parking spaces on W.
Main Street for this purpose.
Earlier in the meeting bids
were received for the 1965
street improvement program
and the contract went to B.
R. Kreider, Ma-nheim RD, in
t-he amount of $15,370.44.
