Parking Authority Demands Clash Over Its Power
Corry Parking Authority leaders pressed Mayor Kinley and the Council for a firm commitment on the body’s authority after a lengthy meeting. Chairman Wilbur Rickers said the authority is “an authority without any authority at all,” noting the working group has five members versus 13 at one time. Kinley admitted invitations to meetings had occurred but said he had been out of town. The session ended with plans for a follow up meeting and a note that the authority had prepared a five year plan to curb street parking and improve enforcement and curb “meter feeders.” A second story reports Principal Robert M Means, 5, Welsh Valley Junior High, Bryn Mawr, Pa., collapsed at work and died en route to hospital.
