Bell Acres Borough Council Meets
Recreation Plans Stall;
by Sylyia Flora
If the attendance at the July I4th meeting is any indication, the excitement and furor manifested at previous meetings of council oyer the possible acquisition of the. GAPA property for recreation purposes seemed to have diminished to some degree. Only .two citizens of the borough attended the meeting to inquire What ■ pi'pgress was oeing made by,council towards said acquisition. During a. somewhat subdued discussion of the matter council Was advised by the solicitor that t Che GAPA people are now pay-
and . the county. This possibly Will place the owners of the property in a better position to negotiate for the sale of the property.
Council was in complete agreement that negotiations should be continued at this time and a counter offer made to the owners in the very near future. However, as George M. GaydOs, Jr„ president of council, pointed out, this is too big a project for the Borough of Bell Acres to handle a-lone. He has contacted several surrounding communities to de* termiite if they would be willing to join with the borough in the go-quisition of ifjftiK?OB^|^^for<,de^
that will benefit the entire area. The matter will more than likely be referred to the Planning Commissions of said boroughs to study the feasibility of a joint project.
Further council business raised yet another difficult decision con-:cerning the erection of paddle tennis courts on private property in residential districts in the borough. In one area specificaUy, objection was raised to the erec-tioji of such a court and council was asked if the Zoning Ordin* ance of the borough permitted , thjs type of construction with 6Ut ^*bililding permit.
An interesting film of Kiwanis activities made in 1947 was shown to Kiwanis members at their meeting on Monday night. Nate Gusky presented the film which brought back a lot of memories and it was thoroughly enjoyed by ev.eryone present.
Another presentation pertaining to “the good old days” will take place at Kiwanis next Monday when Mrs. Jean Wrote of Bell Telephone will give a talk and present color slides and voice recordings of famous personalities of the past. Mrs. Wrote’s program will be entitled “The Changing Years”,
At Monday's meeting, Presi-deht Bill Quinn commented on the August 4 session planned with Lt, Gov. Robert Morrow. Secretary Jim Taylor also introduced prospective member Donald Spalding, Administrator of Sewickley Valley Hospital.
Steve Pcsolyar was given a perfect attendance pii\ and Dr. Moyer announced that the July 27 directors* meeting would be held at his cottage on Lake La-tonka.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery were sent to John Scott Who is recuperating in Sewickley Hospital.
Members were also urged to invite their wives and sweet* H^heai’ts t<< the .July.
