One surveyor, Meek, found the merchants ' he visited were “ extremely u ninformed” about the whole idea of the Re s tora tion project, and there was no enthus iasm about th e idea.” The other surveyor, Loercher, stated th a t ' the merchants in general are “ acutely aware of the problems th a t face them, Construction Permits Up To $61,000 Building permits totalled $61,620 d u r in g the period ending Oct. 20, according to the monthly repor ts of the building inspectors presented to borough council la s t night.

Scranton - Dilworth Clash Expected To Bring Large Numbers Of Voters To Polls but none feel th a t an His torical res toration program is the immediate and most urgent problem. Loc rchc r’s opinion was th a t the lack of enthus iasm is a t tr ibuted to the fact th a t over the past decade they have been confronted with three differ-tnt types of programs: 1) a complete modernization program in the early 19 50’s urged b y . th e Chamber of Commerce: 2) A shopping mall, proposed by the 1958-59 borough ma n a ger; 3) The present Historical program. All of these require the expenditure of funds on the part of the merchants, it was pointed out. “Yet their true needs which t ru ly concerns the civic groups and local government which advocates the above projects, go completely . unheeded year in arid y e a r ’ out. To list a few: more and better parking lots, public rest rooms, better s tre e t lighting in tile downtown a re a s .” These, the merchants feel, should have priority over Historical r e storation. LIST QUESTIONS . The merchants were asked four questions, which were answered as follows: Are you in favor of the Re storation Project? Seventeen answered yes, one did not disagree, one said no, and two had no comment. Of the twelve merchants th a t rent the ir stores, nine of them were a g a in s t any rise in their rents. Of th e ten merchants th a t owned their properties, one had no comment, one felt th a t his building had historical value as it now stands, three felt th a t it would cost too much to change the ir store and could not consider a change a t this time, and one would go along with the project if it could be shown th a t it would be a step to g re a te r productivity. In general all of the merchants th o u g h t it would make a nice impression on -the public. One me rchant was concerned th a t his assessment might he raised, two others felt th a t the entire program could be completed with the use of local ta le n t only. Do you feel th a t if this project were executed the total sales would (a ) increase, (b) decrease, (c) remain -the same? Five me rchants th o u g h t .

Scranton - Dilworth Clash Expected To Bring Large Numbers Of Voters To Polls but none feel th a t an His torical res toration program is the immediate and most urgent problem. Loc rchc r’s opinion was th a t the lack of enthus iasm is a t tr ibuted to the fact th a t over the past decade they have been confronted with three differ-tnt types of programs: 1) a complete modernization program in the early 19 50’s urged b y . th e Chamber of Commerce: 2) A shopping mall, proposed by the 1958-59 borough ma n a ger; 3) The present Historical program. All of these require the expenditure of funds on the part of the merchants, it was pointed out. “Yet their true needs which t ru ly concerns the civic groups and local government which advocates the above projects, go completely . unheeded year in arid y e a r ’ out. To list a few: more and better parking lots, public rest rooms, better s tre e t lighting in tile downtown a re a s .” These, the merchants feel, should have priority over Historical r e storation. LIST QUESTIONS . The merchants were asked four questions, which were answered as follows: Are you in favor of the Re storation Project? Seventeen answered yes, one did not disagree, one said no, and two had no comment. Of the twelve merchants th a t rent the ir stores, nine of them were a g a in s t any rise in their rents. Of th e ten merchants th a t owned their properties, one had no comment, one felt th a t his building had historical value as it now stands, three felt th a t it would cost too much to change the ir store and could not consider a change a t this time, and one would go along with the project if it could be shown th a t it would be a step to g re a te r productivity. In general all of the merchants th o u g h t it would make a nice impression on -the public. One me rchant was concerned th a t his assessment might he raised, two others felt th a t the entire program could be completed with the use of local ta le n t only. Do you feel th a t if this project were executed the total sales would (a ) increase, (b) decrease, (c) remain -the same? Five me rchants th o u g h t .
