Video Tape Business Stirs X-Rated Battle
Ridley Township officials debate a Folsom video rental store run by Fred Contino as it plans to stock 1400 tapes with 123 X rated titles. The board pressures removal of the X rated films to satisfy zoning and future adult entertainment ordinances. Contino defends a family oriented shop saying customers rent at the store and take tapes home. The dispute centers on regulating adult materials amid upcoming ordinances and a potential court appeal on the occupancy certificate.

He noted pay gaps, citing Red Arrow drivers at about $26,000 and Conrail workers at $40,000, a figure disputed by some workers.
