Trainer Borough Council weighs speed limits and taxes
Trainer Borough Council discussed lowering the 35 mph speed limit to 20 mph in areas including Forest Hills and Highland Acres, with solicitor noting limits below 25 mph are illegal. Councilman Tobin urged a 20 mph ordinance for all borough streets except state highways. McCall pushed to raise the utility pole tax from 50 cents per year, citing about 50 posts on Postroad. They considered adding a part time police officer for vacations, with civil service exams if needed. The borough faces cancellation of its trash-burning lease with the Pennsylvania Railroad, prompting a request to use the county incinerator or buy a trash-collection track. The Health Board reported 168 residents received the second polio vaccine dose. No bids were received for ashes and rubbish collection starting July 1.
