Five Lititz policemen will
receive approximately a 6.8
per cent average salary
increase, with increases
ranging from $400 to $900,
under terms of a new two-year
contract signed
T u e sd a y n ig h t by
representatives of the police
department and Boro
Council.
The contract involves only
the five full-time patrolmen.
Salaries for the chief and
assistant chief will be set
later by Boro Council as part
of the 1978 budget program.
The new contract puts the
salary range for 1978 at
$10,618 to $12,175. In 1979 the
range will be $11,618 to
$12,775. Current salaries for
patrolmen range from $9,718
to $11,575.

Boro, Developer at Odds
Over Access Road
Lititz Boro Council and
lurst Bros. Builders are at
Ids again, this time over an
ccess road Council wants
le developers to build in
heir newest housing
e v e lo pm e n t, F a i r
feadows, in the northeast
ection of the borough.
Ray Hurst, representing
is firm, told Council he
ould not afford to bujld such
i road at this time, but
Council made Hurst’s
requisition of land for the
oad a condition of their
ipproval of any extended
wilding in the development.
Hurst Bros, are now
seeking final approval on the
irst section of the
levelopment, which will
nclude 19 building lots in the
»uthem-most section. At
»resent, roads in this section
)f the development will lead
>nto Front Street.
However, the second and
third phases of the
development, farther north
toward Warwick Township,
and traffic from homes in
these sections, were what
c o n c e r n e d C o u n c i l.
Councilmen said they did not
want traffic from the 102
units planned for all three
sections to be “dumping”
onto Front Street. They want
an access road onto Locust
Street, which would mean
Hurst would have to acquire
land from an adjacent farm
belonging to Milt Brubaker.
Hurst asked that the
borough pay half the
purchase price of this land,
but Council refused, saying
the acquisition was a
responsibility of the
developer. Council said it
would pay half the cost of
building the road, however.
Because the remainder of
the planned development lies
in Warwick Township, where
Hurst expects to build 213
units, both the developer and
the borough had hoped
Warwick Township would
help finance the building of
through streets in the
project. But Warwick
Township has stated it will
not do this, that road
construction must be done by
the developer. Council said
Tuesday that the borough
could condemn land to build
access roads, but if Warwick
Township will not help pay
for the roads, then Hurst will
have to revamp his plans and
move the main access road
entirely into the borough.
Council finally voted to
grant conditional approval to
preliminary plans for the
entire project, and final
approval on the first section
of the development, but said
it would approve no more
plans until Hurst showed
eveidence of ownership of
land for an access road onto
Locust Street.
Summer Employees
Boro Manager David
Anderson told Council that
G. Richard (Rick) Koelsch
of Lititz, a Millersville State
College student, has been
hired as a summer works
employee at $3.10 an hour.
The borough will also be
getting four summer
employees from the CETA
program, who will do stream
clean up work.
Swimming Pool
Anderson reported that 697
persons had attended the
“free” day at Lititz Springs
Pool last Saturday, and that
600 had come to the pool on
Sunday, the first day
memberships or daily
admissions were required.
Only nine persons went to the
pool on Memorial Day,
which was cool and cloudy.
New Bookkeeping Machine
Council is considering
buying a new bookkeeping
machine for the Boro Office,
and the boro manager and
bookkeeper will be visiting
three other boroughs this
week to take a look at
machines being used there.
They will go to Boyertown,
Q u a k e r t o w n , a n d
Northampton, two of which
are using Burroughs
machines, and one an NCR.
The cost of the machines
the borough is considering is
$12,000, plus an additional
$6,000 for programming.
Wrigley Land
Mayor Raymond Reedy
sent his condolences, on
behalf of the borough, to the
family of chewing gum
magnate Philip Wrigley at
the time of Wrigley’s death,
and inquired about the
company’s plans for 400
acres of land it owns in the
borough and Warwick
Township. The mayor told
Council Tuesday night that
Wrigley’s son, William, had
replied to his letter, stating
that the land is a “long term
investment” for the
company and there are no
immediate plans for any
construction here.

Gun” on F’riday and
Saturday, June 3 and 4, in the
Middle School auditorium at

Annie, the title role, and she

the middle school and can
best be recognized in her role
as Sadie in last y ea r’s
production of “Going
Buggy”.
Joe Longenecker will
portray Frank Butler. For
the last three years, Joe, too,
has appeared in every
presentation in the middle
and was the co-star in last
year’s play in the role of Sam
Schienshuber. Also • a
member of the band, he
plays saxophone.

Zimmerman as Chief Sitting
Bull, Paul Enck as Foster

and 4.
Fringe benefits remain
basically the same as under
the current contract.
New items in the two-year
document include a spelled-out
grievance procedure,
with final decisions still
resting with Boro Council, a
10th paid “floating” holiday
in 1979, an increase in sick
leave days from six to eight a
year, and reimbursement of
15 cents a mile when a
patrolman uses his personal
car for police business.
Boro Council President
James Yerger commended
both his own negotiating
team and that from the
police department for the
smooth settling of the two-year
contract. In the last few
contracts, both bargaining
sides called in lawyers to
deal with the negotiations,
due to some ill-will
r e p o r te d ly g e n e r a ted
between the two units. This
year, Boro Council and the
police department handled
their own negotiations, with
Councilmen Wendel Hower
and Donald Stauffer, and
Police Officers Charles
Shenenberger and Ronald
Sandhaus serving on the
negotiating teams.
An aspect of the contract,
that was highly commended
by Boro Council was the
police department’s desire to
bring patrolmen with lower
salaries up to a level with
those on a higher salary

scale. The higher paid
officers had volunteered to
keep their own salary
increases at a minimum and
give the larger raises to the
patrolmen with lower
salaries, on the assumption
that after a five year period,
a patrolmen is basically well
trained and should be getting
equal pay with other
patrolmen.
In further police business,
Council also voted to
purchase a mobile base
communications unit for the
police department, at a cost
of $1084, which is in the
current budget. The unit will
be a high ’voltage walkie
t a lk i e , with desk
microphone, to supplement
the three walkie-talkies now
used by the police depart­ment,
and will be used
mainly in the police chief’s
office.
Council also approved
extended pay during a six-week
sick leave for Floy
Ulrick, a part-time police
woman.

OK Sought For Hardee’s
On Top of Kissel Hi
W a rw ick Township
supervisors heard tentative
plans for a Hardee’s
hamburger and fast-food
restaurant anticipated for
the Kissel Hill area,
presented by represen­tatives
of H.S. Nauman, and
Sons, Inc., Lancaster, the
company handling the
building project for a local
owner of the franchise chain.
Wilbur McMichael, who is
in charge of the project for
Nauman, explained that the
company hasn’t even gone
as far as presenting any
preliminary plans because
they wanted to make sure all
permits needed could be
acquired through the
township first.
Supervisors gave their
approval with one
stipulation, that the
proposed double access to
the resturant be changed to a
single access with entrance
and exit from the same
driveway. This is in the
interest of safety at a very
bad spot, explained James
Witmyer, chairman of the
Board of Supervisors. The
double access already there,
he continued, allows poor
sighting for cars pulling in
and out of the property. An
access constructed in the
middle of the existing
driveways would give
drivers a much better line of
sight, he noted.
The next step is a request
from the Pennsylvania
D e p a r t m e n t of
T r a n s p o r t a t i o n fo r
permission to build the
access, said McMichael.
Only then will H.S. Nauman
and Sons, Inc. proceed to
deliver the preliminary
plans, he added.
If Penn DoT approval is
granted, construction should
begin by November or
December, said McMichael.
