Corry Measures Cut Fines Amid Budget Talk and Local Happenings
City officials noted a sharp drop in fines this year as the county judge invalidated the overnight parking ban, while the council counted a $7000 expected intake down to about $1700. Weekend anniversaries for three Corry couples, plus visits from the Pennsylvania Historical Commission, recalled efforts to preserve 1800s newspaper files and microfilm. Local civic actions included Jamestown Auto Dealers operating a voter shuttle on election day. A Corry industry plans to resume, and weekend football pools yielded unexpected payouts for local and out of town operators. Judges near a raise of pay with voter turnout are discussed under a new law. Veterans’ dividend tax status eases payments, as postscript notes cover nursing training bonds, a hunting dog story, and theatre policy shifts affecting Sunday movie fines.
