The details of two ordinan­ces
adopted by Borough Coun­cil
which are aimed at reduc­ing
juvenile delinquency were
made public this week.
The ordinances are expected
to take the place of a propos­ed
curfew for Lititz.
One of the ordinances, aimed
at youth guidance, places the
responsibility for the action of
young people during the night
hours on their parents, guar­dians
and other adults who are
charged with the care and
custody of young people under
eighteen years of age. These
hours are between 10 p.m. and
6 a.m. Sundays through Thurs­days,
and from midnight to 6
a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
Any misbehavior during these
hours will be reported to the
parents by the Chief of Police
via certified mail. On the se­cond
violation, if the youth is
convicted, there is a fine of
$5 to $100 and costs which
must be paid by the parents or
guardians.
The ordinance states that its
provisions are not to ‘‘limit,
supplant or conflict with the
jurisdiction or procedures of
the juvenile court law.”
The other ordinance amends
the present Conduct and Safe­ty
law in effect in the borough.
It also provides for stiff penal­ties
and concerns adults as
well as teenagers. It make it
unlawful for people to congre­gate
at the public fountain or
on street corners or sidewalks
in such a way that other
people are unable to pass
them, or to refuse to move
when ordered by an officer. It
also makes it unlawful to
shoot guns or pistols within
the borough without specific
written approval of the Chief
of Police.
It also bans the use of
switchblade knives, which can
be confiscated by the police,
and carries a fine of $100 and
costs.
The ordinance also prohibits
riding or driving over pave­ments,
and leaving any ve­hicle
over any crossing or on
the pavements.
It makes it unlawful to wil­fully
or wantonly put in false
fire alarms.
This ordinance also contains
provisions against dogs or
other animals running at large.
A third ordinance establishes
parking on the west side only
of North Cedar St. between
Front and North Water Sts.
