Approximately 30 persons
gathered at the Warwick
Township M u n ic ip a l
Building Monday night to
discuss the passage of a
proposed plumbing code by
the supervisors.
The public hearing was
called to discuss the "or­dinance
adopting a plumbing
code for waste disposal
facilities for Warwick
Township, and providing for
the protection of the public
health and safety and the
q u a lif ic a tio n and
registration of persons
engaged in the business of
plumbing or laboring at the
trade of plumbing; requiring
a permit and inspection for
the installation of alteration
of plumbing and drainage
systems, creating an ad­ministrative
authority and a
board of plumber examiners
and prescribing their duties;
defining certain terms;
estab lish in g minimum
regulations for the in­stallation,
alteration or
repair of plumbing and
drainage systems and the
in s p e c tio n th e re o f;
providing penalties for the
violation of this ordinance
and repeal conflicting or­dinances."
The plumbing code is an
o rd in a n c e p ro v id in g
minimum requirements and
standards for the protection
of the public health, safety
and welfare. / ,
Most of those/ in at­tendance
were Opposed to
the new ordinance. The
opposition seemed to center
School Board Meets
around the questions of
licensing of plumbers. Many
felt that a property owner
should be able to do his
plumbing work himself and
be able to help his neighbor
do his also. There were those
who felt the township
already had too many or­dinances
and they didn’t
want any more.
James Witmyer, chair­man
of the supervisors,
noted there are two primary
reasons for the plumbing
code. First is to protect the
individual property owner
and see that the job is done
properly and, secondly, to
protect the township against
shoddy work.

Dr. Robert F. Harris Resigns
As Assistant Superintendent
Dr. Robert F. Harris,
Assistant Superintendent of
the Warwick School District,
had his resignation ac
cepted, effective June 30,
1981, at the January meeting
of the School Board, Tuesday
night.
Harris, who has been a
resident of Lititz for three
years, is seeking a position
in education that will place
him in greater contact with
students and says that he is
hopeful of staying in the
area.
"This is such a great place
to raise kids, and we feel
settled and at home here,”
he explained, "but 1 feel that
it is important to me at this
time to be in closer contact
with the students. ’ ’
Harris enjoys his work
with young people and has
several years in Scouting as
an additional background for
his desire to tie out of ad-m
in stra tio n and into
teaching. He has worked
with the Green Circle
students in the school
district as well as being
affiliated with the Rec.
Center.
The Brooklyn, New Y6rk
native is a graduate of the
University of Scranton and
holds the Ph.D. in school
administration from Elysion
College in California. He also
attended the University ot
Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh.
Harris resides on Hum­mingbird
Drive with his wife
Joan and three daughters,
Elizabeth, 2; Jennifer, 6;
and Christina, 9. He lists
Gothic mysteries among his
reading tastes and one ot his
great pleasures is his HO
gauge tram layout, which he
says, Christina is also
showing an interest in.
Harris has also served as a
commissioner for Lititz
Borough during the tune he
has spent here.
Jay Harry, social studies
teacher in the Warwick
Senior High School and head
coach of the baseball team,
also resigned Tuesday night,
to accept a position outside
the field of education. He
expects to work in travel.
Marilyn E. Muston,
Elizabethtown, was hired as
a long term substitute in the
Social Studies department,
effective January 21. She
will replace Maurice Blose
who is on a sabbatical leave

noted that the committee
thinks the code is in­consistent.
He charged the
supervisors have ignored the
citizens petition and that the
citizens are gagged. He
wanted to know why the
property owner is limited in
the proposed plumbing code.
He stated that WTCESS
disapproves of it and feels
the code should not include
the licensing of plumbers.
"The plumbing contractors
want the code so they have
control over the residents,"
he said.
The supervisors noted that
the individual property
owner could do his own
work. They must however
obtain a permit and have the
system inspected.
According to the engineer
for Glace & Glace, Larry
Zimmerman, the home
owner should be sure he has
enough liability insurance
before he attempts the job of
installing the sewer line
himself. Liability insurance
will be required of all
plumbers that would be
licensed. If you have a
plumber and the sewer line
is broken, the plumber is
responsible for it, not the
property owner. The same
holds true of blasting and its
inherent dangers and areas
where a critical slope is
necessary.
A plumber who was
present at the meeting
questioned the need for cast
iron pipe to be used
throughout the wall of the
home. He also asked why a
stone bed must be used for
plastic pipe but not for cast
