York Springs Borough to borrow 39000 for water system work
York Springs Borough Council adopted a resolution to borrow 39000 to fund a water system project. The loan adds to 80000 already on loan and a 50000 emergency note, aimed at securing an adequate water supply amid droughts and loss of sources. The plan centers on developing a new well behind York Springs Elementary School, a costly effort due to its distance from the reservoir. Relationships: legal opinions warn the borough risks overextending borrowing, while interest rates are expected near municipal low rates. The council discussed an ambulance loan and possible state subsidized loans for a volunteer fire company, pending tax‑exemption status. Chester Hellman retained as water manager. Wadel Jr. named council president, Sharon Sontheimer vice president, Kenneth Kemper treasurer.

Lincoln Estates expansion clears a planning hurdle near Gettysburg
Chester Linka gained preliminary approval from Cumberland Township supervisors to expand Lincoln Estates by adding 104 trailer homes behind the current park near Oak Lawn Cemetery two and a half miles north of Gettysburg. Zoning variances for side and rear setbacks were approved and sidewalk requirements dropped with a single tree per lot required in place of a natural screen. The panel also approved Ernest Swisher’s Route 34 subdivision into three lots and postponed Marshal Tuckey’s Pumping Station Road split into three lots due to flood risk. Meadows Developments’ Joseph Hill request to build two townhouse blocks was tabled for two weeks.
