T H E R E S S SERVING THE WARWICK AREA FOR NEARLY A CENTURY 99th Year ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1877. AS THE SUNBEAM I CONSOLIDATED WITH THE LITITZ RECORD. 1937 Lititz, Lancaster County, PA 17543, Thursday, June 5,1975 10 CENTS A COPY; S4.00 PER YEAR BY MAIL WITHIN LANCASTER COUNTY 20 PAGES — No. 11 Local Paper Mill May Reopen, Pollution Control Promised Morgan Mills paper plant, which has been shut down for the past year and a half, is in the process of being purchased by a New York City man, Stanley G. Preston, who said this week he hopes to have the plant open and operating by Aug. 1. Both Preston and Lancaster attorney, Charles Grove, J r., who is representing Preston during the negotiations, are optimistic that the sale will be finalized, once final approval of plans is given by the Department of Environmental Resources. Preston told the Record- Express Tuesday that there is “much to be done” before the plant is operable again, including some substantial renovation of equipment. Preston said he will be hiring about 5t) production workers at the beginning of the operation, with this number to increase to about 100 eventually. He said he is hoping that some of the former Morgan Mills production workers will be returning to work there. Although Preston has been looking over the plant, and conferring with local officials for several months, his proposed purchase of the plant was made public just this Week when the Lan-c a s t e r I n d u s t r i a l Development Authority approved a $400,000 loan for the purchase. The loan will come through the Commonwealth National Bank. The total cost of the project has been set at $550,000, which includes engineering fees and renovation of equipment, in addition to the purchase price. Preston is president of a newly formed company that will operate the mill, the Lititz Paper Mill, Inc. Kal M. Heir, Paramus, N.J., is secretary-treasurer of the company. Preston reportedly has had extensive experience in the paper business, having operated paper mills some years ago with his father, and more recently, having been a broker of paper products. Commenting that Lititz’ mayor and borough manager have been “very helpful” to him during the recent negotiations and environmental studies of the plant, Preston said he was “extremely appreciative” of what the people of Lititz have done for him. “ The cooperation with Lititz has been absolutely splendid - without it, we couldn’t have done this,” Preston said. David Cunningham of Huth Engineers, who has been handling the engineering plans for Preston, told the Record- Express Tuesday that Preston intends to purchase pulp from Maine or Canada. The pulp, he explained, will be brought to Lititz already baled. The local plant “will only be adding water to the pulp and putting it onto machines to make products, primarily toilet tissue,” Cunningham said. He stressed that the plant will not be recycling material or making pulp, the two operations that caused so many pollution problems for Morgan Mills. It is the recycling process that yields so many und e sirab le by-products, Cunningham expalined. Preston “will be starting with cleaner material and not recycling,” he said. “This is one of the most important things - there will be no printer’s ink, colored dyes, etc. that were present in the waste from Morgan Mills,”'he said. Cunningham said the plant will be lining some of the spray field north-west of the borough, which Morgan Mills used, until the borough’s sewer treatment plant is expanded. Howeyer, he said, the state will be limiting the area of the field which the plant may use, and will also be limiting the application rate. “It will be a uniform coverage of the field - there should not be any problems,” Cunningham said. He said that once the treatment plant is expanded and can handle all the effluent from the mill, then all the effluent will go there. “Primarily, the effluent will be water with cellulose (paper bits) in it,” Cunningham said. He added that when Morgan Mills was operating the plant, “other stuff” was being sprayed on the field. “There will be nothing dumped in the stream - that’s a condition of the sale,” Cunningham said. He pointed out that Morgan Mills had its smoke problem “ pretty well straightened out” through the installation, shortly before it shut down, of stack monitors. He said that with proper maintenance, there should be able to control smoke pollution satisfactorily. “We’re not setting out to do anything that would run the risk of causing problems with the stream or watershed,” Cunningham said, “we’re going with a straight legal and engineering approach.” Morgan Mills, which is owned by Media General, Inc. of Richmond, Va., closed on Dec. 31, 1973 because of operating losses brought on by increased costs of raw materials and fuel, combined with a shortage of waste paper. About 160 employees lost their jobs in the shut-down. In its last 10 months of operation, the mill lost $440,000. In addition, the plant was plagued with fires and pollution problems. Some of these were nearly corrected about the time the plant was unexpectedly closed down. 3 Boys Being Notice The monthly meeting of the Lititz Retailer’s Association has been scheduled for the second Wednesday of this month. The June meeting will be held next Wednesday, June 11, at 7:30 P.M. at the General Sutter Inn. All area businessmen are welcome and invited to attend. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Lititz’ Fire Siren Broken Lititz’ fire siren is on the blink, and the borough is now trying to find a bucket truck and crane to take the creature down for repairs. The siren is located on top of a high pole at the edge of the Municipal Parking Lot. It is set off automatically by a button in the Lancaster County Communications Center in Lancaster, at the same time firemen’s monitors are opened up during a fire call. Those firemen who have monitors are now relying on these to receive fire calls - meanwhile Pauline Shelly, who still maintains her electronic dispatch equipment as a backup for emergencies, has been telephoning to firemen who don’t have monitors. According to Boro Manager David Anderson, there is a short circuit in the siren’s motor, and the siren must be taken down and checked over to find out if it can be repaired. The siren is believed to be of about 1960 vintage. Anderson said the siren started sounding “poorly” about two weeks ago, but when it was checked, it “seemed in order.” Last Thursday, it sounded like a weak fog horn trying to warm up, and by Friday noon, it wasn’t working at all. So far, the fire company has been called out on only one fire in the borough since the siren broke down, that one Monday afternoon when some youngsters allegedly started a fire in a warehouse on North Locust Street. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Rick Pohner, president of "The Beginning", an entertainment center located in the Lititz Rec Center on Friday nights, presented a $100 check to Jerry Kiralfy, Rec Center director, recently as their contribution to the Rec Center’s X ilt it z R e c o r d E x p r e s s P h o to programs. Pohner described "The Beginning" as an entertainment center for all ages; they present various and varied programs throughout the year, many of which include dances for teens, as well as movies and shows for all ages. In Fire Three young boys are being questioned by police in connection with a fire Monday afternoon in a warehouse at 163 N. Locust St., owned by Sylvan Brandt. According to Police Chief George Hicks, the boys went into the second story loft of the building to smoke, and then decided to build a fire. The fire got out of control, and neighbors saw it and called thq fire department. Chief Hicks said the three boys allegedly involved were two 10-year olds and one nine-year old. Their names were not released. Trooper Tom Nolan, assistant state police fire marshall, is assisting Chief Hicks with the investigation. The amount of damage has not yet been set, and there has not yet been any disposition of the case, Chief Hicks said. The fire occurred about 4 p.m. Monday, and firemen had burning lumber pulled out of the loft and under control within a short time. One fireman stated that “there were kids all around” at the time, and that all of them had been kept at the scene for questioning. The building is the same one which has aroused the concern of the local Zoning Hearing Board recently. Brandt, the owner, had previously been ordered by the Board to remove the wood beams which he was storing outside the building. Eliz. Twp. Considering Flood Program Eliz ab e th Township supervisors took a look at adopting a flood insurance program for the township at their regular meeting Monday night. If the township is qualified by the state for this, it will mean persons living in floodplains will be able to get a reduced rate on insurance. In further business, the supervisors accepted land modules for 33 lots of Oak Ridge Village Section No. 2, six lots of the Speedwell Forge Estate subdivision; and three lots along Brun-nerville Road, owned by Clair E. Martin. Supervisors also reviewed a lot subdivision for Paul B, Martin along Zartman Mill Road. The township has purchased a traffic counter, at a cost of $195, to aid in road repairs. Nine building permits reported for the month totaled $22,750, including repairs, remodeling, and additions. Two driveway permits were issued. Back of farmhouse on Owl Hill Road (top photo) shows section which Messick Realtors want to remodel into a sixth apartment unit. Lower picture shows front of farmhouse, already being used as apartments. The building is in a section of Libramont development. I i i t i t z R e co rd E x p r e s s P h o to s 6th Apartment in Libramont Farmhouse Causing Problems The old farmhouse on Owl Hill Road that marks the southern entrance to Libramont - much to the distaste of some of the residents of the strictly residential neighborhood - is causing Lititz’ Planning Commission and Boro Council some headaches that even their solicitor hasn’t been able to remedy so far. The farmhouse, a large brick structure, was converted into five apartments a number of years ago, before zoning was established in that area. Four of the apartments are now occupied, the fifth one is vacant. Mylin Messick, the developer of Libramont and owner of the farmhouse, wants to remodel the back of the house into a sixth apartment. However, he does not want to take up as much of the valuable farmland left in the Libramont development that the local zoning ordinance requires in a residential area. Messick’s plans allowed 26,000 square feet of land for the “yard” of the apartment - this figure, was increased to 35,000 square feet this week - but according to the zoning ordinance, he needs 12,500 square feet for every dwelling unit, or six times 12,500 square feet, or 75,000. Meanwhile, Messick needs approval for the entire subdivision plan of the section of Libramont that includes the farmhouse, so that he can continue building houses. And it is there that the big issue has been hung up for the past two months, as the Planning Commission, Boro Council, and their solicitor debate whether or not the lot requirements can be compromised, and whether Messick should even be allowed to add a sixth apartment in the house. Part of the question gets into the legal définition of what Messick actually needs in the way of a variance or special exception. The apartments are now non-conforming uses in a residential district. Since the apartments were there before zoning was put in, the town can’t interfere. But once Messick adds another apartment, according to the solicitor’s interpretation, the building then becomes a non-conforming structure in the residential area, and Messick must come up with the proper lot sizes for each dwelling, or apartment unit. And this is just what In This Issue Business Directory 14 Church News 12 Classified Ads 18,19 Editorial Page 4 Sports Section 6,7 Women’s 10,11 What Makes You Happy? Yes, people have a lot of things they’re happy about. We’re finding this out as letters start tumbling into our office from readers responding to our request last week to let us know three things that make them happy. Keep the letters coming and before long we’ll be ready to write you a real happy story. Just jot down three things that make you happy, and send your letter to the Editor, Lititz Record-Express, 22 E. Main St., Lititz, PA 17543. Messick says he can’t afford to do. He says that it would not pay him to put 75,000 square feet of remaining farmland in Libramont into a yard for the apartments. The issue has gone back and forth between the Planning Commission and Boro Council, with the planners recommending that the plan be rejected, and Boro Council calling for a special session with the commission and with Messick to try to work out a compromise. This is the meeting that was held Tuesday night, but the only results were that both governing bodies decided they should have yet another joint session, with their solicitor present at this one to tell them just how far they can stretch the zoning ordinance. The land on which the farmhouse is located was formerly a part of Warwick! Township but was annexed to the borough in January 1972. The apartments existed at that time. : Some local persons “recall” a verbal agreement between Messick and the-borough that the farmhouse was to be taken down eventually, and early sketch [Continued on Page 18] Awards Assembly Held at Warwick The annual Awards Assembly was held last Friday morning for Junior and Senior students in the high school auditorium.
